Okay so here I am, two weeks post op and I lost 20 lbs so far thank G-d! I'm 21 years old and mother to one toddler. I need to lose 200 lbs so I know it will be a long journey... I was 180 pounds three years ago, since I'm tall and broad I was not fat but also not skinny. Then I became pregnant and gained 64 lbs...after my baby I tried losing weight. I tried OA, the blood type diet, Atkins...my problem was I would diet binge diet binge diet binge...so for every pound I lost I gained two...one year and a hundred pounds later I started thinking of surgery. I have a lap band , and am ready for the next chapter of my life!

I have had no problems with my band and I am close to my goal. But I always come here for information and inspiration. It is motivating for me to see everyone's success.

Don't worry about how much you have to lose. Set small goals and before you know it, you'll see a real difference. I lost more than 150 lbs. and I've been banded two years. Look for those non-scale victories. You'll find plenty and that will help you even if the scale does not go down. In fact, stay away from the scale for a while. It's better that way. Good luck and welcome to the site.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
