Ladies, I'm so excited today! I just slipped my wedding ring on! First time in a long time!

Anyone else have a NSV?

Those are all wonderful NSVs Jamie! quintouple woot!

Some of the people that was at the cabins this weekend hadn't seen me since I was banded. They all complimented me alot. My one nephew said he didn't know it was me! They sure knew how to make a gal feel good!

hi everyone,

My names Kylie, I am 16years old. I am still playing the games my doctor wants me to do before she recommends surgery. of course I had this talk with her before I knew about LapBand. I have to go see her September 1, 2005 I will talk to her about this then. It is great to hear all these stories everyone has. It gets me really anxious and excited. Congrats on everyones NSV:banana

This NSV thread turned out 2 Bee a good'un ladies ...Thnx 4 sharin.

OMG ...How do you sum up the thangz that haz happened 2 me a as a result of this surgey? I dunno but I'll give it a KISS (Keep It Simple Sweetie) and see what happenz. *grin*

The 26th (my bandiversary) is soo close I can taste it and I can't wait! I'm gonna find sum way ov makin it ROCK! I've earned sum kinda reward 4sure ...sum1 plz tell me I did cuz I feel like I just ran a marathon and WON!

This year I've not only lost MORE than a hundred poundzzz, lost 16 pant sizes, & im not only physically, but am mentally healthier, I feel like an all around NEW WOMAN compared 2 the Me a mere year ago!

In a week I'll celebrate my "Bandiversary" with Xcitement and Joy ...naa, it'z more like PURE ENERGY

I could have NEVER known wat this surgery would do 4 me. I might have chickened out if I'de had known 1/2 of the story ahead of time

...so 4 once I'm grateful that my wish I made as a lil'gurl was never granted. If I was Psychic (likeI wanted 2 Bee)...I might have lost out.

If that don't get ya Xcited ...I dunno

Okay, I apperently gained 3 pounds but I lost another notch on my belt! Woot!

Maybe the best one of all... This morning I realized that I will never go hungry again. (it's a wolves thing)

This weekend at the Beach I discovered that forgot a jacket. So I had to buy a new one. I picked up a 2x and it fit fine. A lttle roomy but that's okay. Wait a second... The sleeves are a bit long. Let's try the XL. I know, I know, an XL? that's crazy talk. Hey! this XL is pretty roomy... but the sleeves fit.

so. I had this totally insane idea... What would happen if I try on a Large? oh, it's never going to fit, it won't even zip up. Nah.. I'm too fat for a LARGE.

oh my gawd, she's actually going to try to put on a LARGE jacket??? What, is she nuts? Is she a glutton for punishment?

No! She's the proud owner of a poweder blue fleese Long Beach Washington jacket!!! SIZE LARGE

Now THAT would feel great. Numbers on the scale dont mean that much to me, I find I can be at the heavy end of my normal range and still have my clothes feel lose or vice versa.

I have a bad habit of buying clothes that dont fit me :-(

I'm down to a size 14---yeah!!! I gave away all of my 16's today. It felt so liberating. I can walk for miles now. But, boy is it hot out. Unfortunetly my treadmill and boflex are collecting bunnies--Lol. I tried moving them into my bedroom--didn't work--there's even more bunnines in there.

10 pounds till I'm at pre-pregnancy wieght--yahoo!

Excellent Vinesqueen!!! congrats, congrats, congrats!

I am official without the dreaded WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW after a size in clothes. I am between a 16 and 14 misses, NOT women.

Hate the WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

5 weeks ago I was wearing size 26 jeans. Today, going for my 6 week follow-up, I put on a pair of size 22 and they FIT!!!!!!!!

Banded 7/22/05

Congrats! Isn't it a great feeling!?

My blood pressure is 119 over 70 today. even with meds I wasn't near the normal limits. I'm sure I can start weining off them in the next few months.

Yeah!!!!!!!

Woot! that's Normal people BP!

Thanks Vines - I'm not sucking wind nearly as often as before.

I've been running on my elliptical trainer every day. I try to push myself hard and know I'm really "running" when the fat at the inside of my knees starts flapping. This morning no matter HOW fast I went, I could NOT get that fat to FLAP! There's just not enough fat down there to flap anymore.

Now THAT'S an NSV!!!

My ultimate goal is to be a totally unflappable gal.
