had my surgery on July 2,2013!

I have been very blessed! I'm already down 39 pounds since surgery! I still have a long way to but am very glad I can come on here and get support when I need it. If it wasn't from the support and reading a lot of everyone's stories I don't think I would have ever made this journey but I'm glad I did!!

You look awesome and are doing wonderful! You can really tell especially in your face from the hospital picture to the pic in the mirror. Are you exercising or anything like that or just eating the right way?

Thank you very much! Really haven't done any exercising, I really need to start. I have just been eating a lot less especially since my first fill it was a dramatic difference. My two year old can eat more than me. Lol. The only thing is some days I can go without eating all day and I have to remind myself to try and eat something because I just really no longer get hungry.

Yeah that's what will happen to me sometimes lol i can go a whole day without eating and I have to make myself eat. Everyone had to get use to how I ate because they wanted to pile food on at BBQs and stuff and I would have to let them know I can't even eat half of what they eat lol. Now most everyone understands. Yeah my nephew can eat more than me and he's 5 haha! I look at people's plates now and think wow I use to eat that much?!? Lol it's amazing how the band works!

Congratulations -- you are doing beautifully!
