Hello all,

I am so excited today, I just have to share! I have lost over 40 pounds now since August, and I have been down lately thinking no one even can tell.

So in the time I am the lowest I had to go to a business meeting. I was not myself, people commented how down I was. And THEN my friend looked at me and said "You've lost a sh*tload of weight" They way she said it I was just cracking up. But I was so happy that someone finally noticed. And then the woman to her right said "I thought so too, but I didn't want to ask!"

That feels better than the clothes that feel better, the smaller size all of it! Someone finally noticed! lol...I just had to share!

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Congratulations!! That is a wonderful validation indeed. :biggrin1:

40 lbs since August is wonderful! that is a great accomplishment....WOOO HOOOO way to go

Wow 40 pounds since August!!!! I was just banded on 9/11. I really have no clue how much to anticipate by for example Christmas.....I am hoping for maybe 20 by Thanksgiving and this means going by all the rules and exercising!!

Wow, 40 lbs is an amazing amount in such a short time! Congratulations! It truly is validation when other people start noticing.....just gives you the warm fuzzy feeling, lol!

Congrats! It seems like it take 40-50 pounds before someone tells us that!

I too was banded in Aug, but I have only lost 7lbs since sx. Have you had a fill as of yet?

I can't wait until someone tells me I lost weight also. You must be floating on air! Congrads!!!!!!

I just had my first fill Tuesday but it was only .5 ccs because of the weight I have lost on my own. I tell you that cardio is the key. I work out everyday 45-60 minutes cardio. I also count calories, so it is almost like I don't have the band at all....lol.....it took my surgery for me to get serious.

Don't worry it will happen. When did you have surgery?

Way to go Brandy. It sounds like you're working hard and it's paying off!

I don't know if you were speaking to me or not, but I was banded on the 21 of aug. My dr said not to exercise until now. I walked but didn't do anything yet. I am starting at curves tomorrow. Hope that will start my weight loss. I'm still a happy camper!

Way to go Brandy! I bet that felt fabulous!
