How the band changed my life! (pictures)



Recommended Posts

What a difference a year has made!! This is our family last year at Easter. I was always HIDING behind everyone when it was time for pictures. (Can you tell how I conveniently positioned myself?) It has been so nice to no longer have to worry about my double chin, if my behind is showing, constantly pulling at my shirt or just feeling so uncomfortable during picture time!! I can't tell you how much this band has changed my life!!

What a great photo of you and your family. I COMPLETELY understand the tugging shirt thing. But I have it now because I'm in a smaller size slacks, they've changed styles on me and these low-rider things are strange. I constantly feel like my underwear are showing. :nervous

You do look wonderful Diane. What a great photo!

I wish like heck someone besides me in this family could take pictures; we have NO photos of my entire family together. I'm the only one who knows how to use the camera, anyway.

Were you wearing heels in this year's pic? You look taller by your hubby, who by the way is very handsome! And look how much your children have grown in one year! *sighs* I hate time. It takes away so much, and yet everyday I want it to hurry up and pass so I can be at goal.

Anyway, you look wonderful my friend. I'm truly happy for you and your family!

Hey Photonut! Yes, I was wearing heals in the recent picture. HA!! Very funny you noticed. I think I have a full body picture of me with the heels on - I'll see if I can pull it up.

I agree about time moving so fast. I feel like I just had that little baby girl in my stomach & there she is as big as can be. *sigh* However, time is good. It took TIME for me to lose this weight & be a better Mom & I wouldn't change a thing.

Okay, found the picture - here is it!!! I'm definately wearing heels. :confused:

Great to see your success in the past year!

Wow, It's amazing how quickly kids grow. They're growing while Mom is shrinking. :confused:

Happy Band Journeys To All...

Diane ~ You have a beautiful family and you are so blessed!! Not to mention you look beautiful yourself!! :clap2: We always take a family pic at Easter, but this year we didn't have anyone to take one of us together. Every year I feel like a giant Easter egg in my pastel colors. I can't wait till next year to show the thinner me and I hope I have such a wonderful, happy smile as you!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Here's me trying to hide....oh well....I tried. :phanvan

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
