I have been banded a little over 2 months and have lost 22 pounds to date. Although I am thrilled at the number, I have been discouraged at the fact that the scale has only moved 3-4 pounds in the past 4 weeks. I stumbled upon a picture at my friends babyshower, which was taken 2 weeks before my surgery and HOLY COW, I have my first NSV!!!:smile2:[/img]

you look likw you lost more than 22lbs. you probably lost a lot of inches, which is excellent. good luck

You are looking fantastic!

YOU LOOK GREAT YOU DO LOOK LIKE YOU LOST MORE THAN 22LBS THOUGH I AM MD AND ALMOST DONE MY 6MOS SUPERVISED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM AND I AM SO NERVOUS BUT ITS GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE DO WELL, CAN I ASK A ? DID YOU STAY OFF WORK LONG JUST WONDERING SO I WILL NO WHAT TO EXPECT:thumbup: BUT ITS REALLY ENCOURAGING TO SEE YOUR RESULTS

My surgery was on a Monday and I went back to work the following week. I don't have to do alot of walking at work so I felt ready to return.

Thanks for the positive comments!

You look fantastic! !! Great job!

What a difference! Keep up the good work!

You look incredible.

Do you track inches?

All I can say is WOW! That's incredible.

Girl you look great! I cannot wait to get to dropping the inches off. Keep up the weight loss and dont let numbers discourage you.

Good Job.

I feel silly asking, but what does NSV mean?

Lemon it means non scale victory, things you notice about yourself during weight loss

Thanks, gwenny. I guess then, I can say that I have had a couple NSV's by fitting into some clothes I hadn't worn in awhile. :smile2:

IMO I think taking pictures every 2 weeks is really important! It's great to compare them all and see the differences.

You look awesome!!

I lost 12 pounds the first week after surgery, my husband keeps telling me how much weight I lost. I feel like 12 pounds isn't much but it really is!

You look great girl! Keep it up!

You Look Great!!!

I did track inches and I have lost 4 inches from my stomach and like 2 from my bust and hips.
