Ok i think this should be a fun thread. I wish i knew had to pin it, so if anyone does feel free.

What are one good and bad surprize you discovered after being banded and losing weight.

GOOD..... WENT DOWN A WHOLE SHOE SIZE.

BAD....BOOBIES ARE DEFLATING!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I'm interesting in what others have to say.

Good surprise: I look ten years younger.

Bad surprise: fluctuations in band tightness. I thought restriction would be consistent and not too tight one day and pretty good the next.

Good - being able to work out 45 minutes or more without feeling like I'm going to die.

Bad - still thinking I'm fat even though I've lost over 90 pounds.

Good: seeing the weight drop to a weight you have not seen in years!!!yay!!

Bad : Being distracted and taking that "too big of a bite" and feeling it for hours later!!ugh!!

Good: Compliments, being told how great I look, and buying smaller clothes

Bad: Being 45 pounds lighter and still feeling like the "big girl" around other women. Never feeling like the pounds lost is enough.

Good : I can actually wrap a towel around me now

BAD: projectile vomit at Carrabas because I didn't chew the bread.! ( I no longer eat Carrabas) !! Hahahahajaha.

GOOD: three years out I am a size 6 and this is actually easy.

BAD: hmmmm, nope, nothing.
