Jeanie, that's fabulous, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

I keep filling big garbage bags with clothes that are just WAYYY too big. It's a little sad sometimes--there goes my honeymoon nightgown; the slacks I wore when coming home from the hospital after delivering baby #1, then #2; my favorite shirt for nursing--but my college sweatshirt fits again, and even my husband's huge collection of t-shirts are mine for the taking!!

77 lbs is a whole lotta weight, lady. Be proud of yourself!! :) :) :D

Way to go Jeannie. Isn't it fun cleaning out closets? It took me forever to finally get to a place where even the people around me were saying I couldn't wear some of my clothes again.

Then, I had a next size down, so I tried to hurry and wear them, but even they were too big. I'm now into clothes I wore 3 yrs ago, before my last size change and I'm on my way to NOT having ANY clothes to wear. I guess that's what it's all about, huh?

Congratulations! You go girl!

Way to go! I can't wait for 77 lbs!

I'm just 6 weeks out and have moved from size 22 jeans to 18! I love making my "too big" pile. I'm flying to Kansas on Monday (from CA) to see my grandson and packing includes trying on everything to see what fits!

It's too good to be true!

Jeanie!

That is just awesome! And I love your excitement!

Nothin' feels better than an old pair of jeans suddenly fitting again!

WooooHooooo!

Congradulations! I cant wait until I can join you. I am only 4 weeks out and things are getting loose but I can still fit most of them. I am a clothes horse so I have three closets filled with stuff I can't wait to get into and as soooon as it fits I am throwing the 22's and 20's away for good....! I love this band too! :)

Yes I had one about a week ago. I got a 1cc fill. I have great restriction now almost like I did right after surgery. It has stimulated my weight loss again.

There is a very good book out just recently, by Jessie Ahroni. She is a Nurse Practitioner who has been banded over 5 years herself. Jessie is very very no-nonsense, but probably the most knowledgeable in the field. She does fills, etc in Washington state.

You can find the book at www.amazon.com do a search on 'Ahroni'. I understand you can even purchase an 'online' copy.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
