I cant stop looking at myself

This operation has simply been miraculous. I havent broken any weight loss speed records but then I didnt have that much to lose in the first place. I'm now down to 95kg, Im fitting into a regular store size 18 (US 16), I've had my hair straightened so I now have straight silky non frizzy Jennifer Anniston Hair, I have cool clothes, not mumsy large size crap.

I started running regularly a few weeks back and the weight is literally FALLING off me now, not so much in kilograms but in inches, every week I can get into something that didnt fit a week ago kind of thing. I've got a wardrobe full of stuff I've bought over time that I can now get into and I have my nice long acrylic french nails back. Instead of feeling huge and masculine I now feel divine and willowy and am enjoying towering over other people again, lol.

Where my motivation was waning a few weeks back, this sudden cascade of NSV's has really fired me up again and I'm still going strong with only 1.3ml in my band, so I also have the bonus of being able to eat anything and have never even come close to PBing at 4 months down the track.

I really think I've died and gone to heaven.

I am so happy for you!! What a GREAT feeling!!!!!! :clap2: You probably feel just like a regular, normal person is supposed to feel! We have been missing out on life & straightened hair & size 16 pants too long!!

You're motivating & inspiring!! Keep up the great work. Those are fabulous NSV's!!!!!

Good for you, Jacqui!! I know the feeling. Last month I had six inches cut off my hair, and I really take care in the morning to dress my best!!! I used to pull my hair back and hide it under one those fake wige ponytails because I couldn't be bothered. I also find that I am taking better of my skin because I really care about the way I look. And men are starting to flirt with me :-)-men other than my husband!

Keep looking....you deserve it....we ALL do. You brought a big smile when I read your first line. :biggrin1: Every prebander should read this and know the waiting will be worth it!! Thanks for sharing and being so inspirational!!

:clap2:

What an excellent, uplifting post!! I'm glad to hear you're feeling so good, both physically and mentally. It definitely does help to motivate when you've got those NSV's racking up

YOU JUST MADE ME FEEL SO GOOD!!!

How many people can post about their own NSV's and make everyone else smile? I am smiling not only for you Jacqui, but your NSV's made me smile for me too. I know that despite my temporary feelings as a brand new bandster(2 weeks), in the end, I will get to enjoy the NSV's too.

Thank you for keeping our spirits up!!!

Jacqui, that's awesome!! Keep up the great work, and thanks for inspiring us.

You have put into words, the way I feel. Isn't it great?

Now that is a motivating post! I am so happy for you. If your dreams can come true, maybe mine can too.

YAY......go Jacqui........thats fantastic:clap2:

Great post!

Love to hear such positive experiences.

Your post made me smile too. I am so happy for you.

Keep up the good work and never let that enthusiasm go away!

This is what a future (May ) bander wants to hear....Thanks for the great news and keep it going Girl!!

Wait a minute...

did I read that you are RUNNING??? OMG - thats awesome!!!

To be able to RUN (not walk) is classified as an advanced NSV.

Listen up scale watchers (myself included): Lapband success isnt measured in scales alone. This post proves it! :biggrin1:

And I love what you said about being able to wear stylish clothes now. How true, how true!
