Tracking is important, and check the body measurements!

PB is Productive Burping

The loose skin is my biggest fear. I have already had twins and the day I gave birth my waist measured 68 inches. I have stretch marks, but I have seen alot worse than mine. I do use lotion after every bath and always have and I do think it has helped my stretch marks but I still got saggy skin after loosing all that baby weight. I use Palmers Coco Butter lotion and it helps with the stretch marks. I think a good lotion with CQ10 will help with saggy skin. Sirvectin(sp) sold at GNC works great on saggy facial skin but is very pricy.
11 days till surgery....whooohooooo

I have read so many posts about nsvs and how good they make you feel....but today, it was my surprise. My daughter insisted on going shopping with me today because yesterday my jeans were literally sliding down my hips. Today she kept picking clothes for me to try on. I used to be a 22 and I kept telling her to pick out things close to that size. Instead, she insisted I try on 18's and guess what? They fit and I looked great in them! I was so surprised, I just couldn't believe it. I came home and began to empty out the 22's in my closet. Everything from winter in that size is now in a bag for the Salvation Army. It was so exciting and so motivating. Thanks to everyone for listening. I am just floating I am so happy!

I am fairly new to the site, I was banded 5/14/2008 and I have lost 220 lbs 10 more to go and feel great yes it is possible with determination. I have never had a gain nor do I intend to the band is a tool it is not a cure all and if you have the mind set that you want to lose and keep it off and be healthy you will get there..good luck to everyone in achieving your weight loss goals.

How has loss of 100 pounds changed my life? Here are just a few off top of my head.....

I can go out in public and not be embarrassed.
I can wear bluejeans comfortably.
I can fit into booths at resteraunts and movie theaters without problems.
My legs don't rub together catching my pants on fire....:nervous
My nieces and nephews can sit on my lap, I never had one before.
I have more confidence in myself to get up in front of crowds now.
I can wear a seatbelt in the vehicle now (before it would not fit)
I don't suffer from severe depression anymore.
I have energy to exercise and do more outdoors things with my husband.
I can shop for clothes in my hometown instead of ordering everything from plus size catalogs.
The JOY I get if I pass someone I know who has not seen me in a long time and they don't recognize that it is me!!! :clap2:
My favorite...My husband tells everyong he got a new wife and did not even have to get a divorce.:kiss2: See attached photo of how it looks.....

Hi Everyone-
It has been on my mind lately to start a new post as a positive, motivational, and inspiring thread. I have noticed several threads lately where those considering surgery are asking if it is 'possible' to lose 100 pounds with the band. My answer to that is...Yes, it definitely is. Many say it is not realistic. But I have watched the amazing progress of LBT members on the board, and believe it is not only realistic, it is happening to many of our LBT members all around us. And for those that aren't quite there yet, many members are extremely close. As time goes by with lapband increasing in popularity and the number of LBT members growing everyday, I believe the list is only going to increase by leaps and bounds.
Any and all weight loss is a huge accomplishment for us all. While I realize that many members don't need to lose 100 pounds or more, many do. And for those who do, it offers not only motivation to see that other bandsters have done it...but most importantly it offers the hope that it can be done with the band!
This will be a running thread to offer positive motivation, inspiration, hope, and encouragement. Please PM me or post here to have your name added to the growing list when you hit 100 pounds lost, or if you want your amount lost updated. Congratulations to everyone on any and all weight loss!
