Now that some weight is coming of, I can see that Beautiful hourglass shape.

Yesterday a neighbor who had not seen me in about 6 months complimented me on my WL.

He told me that you could see that hourglass shape a mile away. That's how much it stands out...

I always did like the fact that I did have a nice one... So,,, glad to see it's back.

So what do you see about yourself in the Mirror that you love about yourself ?

My waist. Just tried on an old belt and remember it was on the last hole, realized I just lost 7 inches off my waist in 3 months. Ahh! What a great feeling considering I have not seen the scale change a lot.

I like that my pointy chin (which I used to hate) is becoming prominent again...lol. Also like being able to see a defined waistline again and ankles that aren't constantly swollen!

I know, waiting is so hard, especially after losing so much (I've lost 61lbs total so far, some pre-band) but know I still have another 60 to lose sucks. Trying to be patient since it took almost 7 years to gain all this weight, and I know the band isn't a miracle worker...I want to be able to wear shorts and sleeveless tops again without being mortified! (Plus, I have never weighed less than my husband, so that's a big goal of mine...only about 35 more lbs to go for that!) :)

I got patients like I said, and this is my second time around.

First time I lost over 120lbs pre op, I took of 151 total. then the Doc screwed up,

made a bad call, and deflated me. I regained almost all back, maybe 25 lbs. shy of where I was.

So I started again this January, and I now have a excellent surgeon for aftercare (THAT'S IMPORTANT !)

So I learned to Wait for what I want...

Great Job on the weight Loss for being pre band.... I know it's hard, and frustrating at times,

but that just shows how strong of a person you really are.

Good Health to you, Shirley.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
