Well I am 7 months from surgery and down 69.5 pounds with no preop diet. This band has been the biggest blessing. It has definitely made this process easier although it is still hard work. I think the difference is the hard work is actually paying off when it didn't with other methods.

I still struggle with seeing myself as small from time to time and I am still 35 pounds from goal but I feel so much better. I wonder if at times I have a harder time believing I was actually that big before surgery or that I am actually this size now lol

Best wishes

Awesome job! I know it isn't easy but you are almost to your goal. Kudos to you, you're beautiful!

You look amazing! Good job!

You look beautiful! Congratulations on the great success so far. Our own body image is so hard to deal with. I still struggle with that every day. I think that's where the support comes in, and we need to get that from groups like this who are living it and "get it."

Good job! You look awesome

You look GREAT! It takes a lot of time for our heads to catch up to our new bodies, but it does happen. Just focus on how great you FEEL, and stay on your path. I love your pictures.....VERY motivating!
