Yay, I've lost 2 more lbs down to 256. i saw 255.5 flicker for a moment, LOL

I was heavy most of my young life, then during the summer between my junior and senior year in high school I lost a lot of weight by going on the practically anorexic diet. I got a LOT of attention, I was pretty hot. Then I went to college, met my first husband, got married and had 2 kids, and packed on the weight. Did different diets, exercised like crazy but ate to make up for it. Then got divorced, lost some weight, met my second and final DH, lost some more weight, then had a baby, gained weight, broke my ankle, gained weight, had another baby, gained weight- and decided it was time to just get this done with. DH had suggested lap band after seeing some of his co-workers do it. So I went to my PCP (who had actually recommended bypass a few years before but I didn't want to re-route my innards). Did the 6 month diet, got approved and was banded 1/26/12.

So I have a total of 4 kids, a (mostly) supportive husband, and more energy than I've had in a very long while!

Grrr - 221 - up 1 lb this week. I need a fill but they can't get me in until next Weds. So I'll fight the good fight until then! The rest of the month should be easy after that.

Sarah checking in at 214. Of course that was this morning before I started my marathon baking (read eating) for my son's school. I'm sure I gained a pound or two today, but I'm sticking with 214 for this week. No loss. Boo.

Although I have no weight change. I have reached and exceeded my goal as far as my dress size. I am definitely in a solid 12W. Can I just say that I have not seen a 12W since I was in 7th grade %%years ago. EXCITED for the little things. This is definitely a NSV....YAY!!! I try to see the happier side of things, since the scale isnt moving and I have had 2 fills. I am definitely seeing the inches melt away. Still happy and excited... :-)

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
