Y'all look fabulous!! I'm traveling for work this week so I'll look into figuring out how to post some pics when I get home. I'm not quite at 3 months and I totally hate having my picture taken.

I already feel the pain of just thinking of posting it ;)

Oh my goodness! Y'all are so sweet! Keep it coming! LOL (Just kidding!)

Seriously, everyone here is doing so well from what I can tell. Eating habits are changed/changing, some feel restriction and some don't/some are losing lots and some are losing littles. LOL The main thing is that habits are changing! Lord knows everyone is SHOCKED that I am watching what I eat and excercising...two things I NEVER did before in my LIFE!

The band is frustrating, to be certain...and we all fall off the horse once in a while (for me, it was tonight at CiCi's Pizza!). I think all that is par for the course on this journey we have chosen. Tears and frustration are part of the package, unfortunately. But they are not ever as bad as they feel at the moment we experience them!

I'm so glad I've found this place! I have learned SO MUCH from you folks! Can you imagine all those bandsters out there that don't even know places like this exist, and are doing this all on their own? What a horrifying thought, huh?

STef, I can't imagine what I'd do without this board! I found it on a Google searchin early May when I was just trying to find pros/cons of the band from "real" people. LBT is what sealed the deal for me!!

If this works this is a picture of my whole family from about a year ago. When I get batteries for my camera I will take a this year pic. I am not a great fan of getting my pic taking, but I will do it for my band friends.

Stefanie--I am so proud of you. You give me encouragement.

And no, I could not imagine going this alone. I have found so many people in the same boat that I am in. I thought I was the only one that hated to have my picture taken. Well, I see that most of us felt that way.

I have only had my band since August 27th; too early for before and after pictures. I am afraid my before would look the same as the after for now. But that will change. Keep up the good work.

CLARAMAE - Thank you! My memory may be failing me here, but I don't recall seeing you on here before, so WELCOME! Please stick around! Even though you were banded in August, you can be a "JUNIE" too! JUNIES ROCK! Good luck on your journey, and come here often...especially if you are down and don't feel like it, because that is when you need us the most. Right now I'm struggling through my first bad patch...weight not dropping much at all. But I keep coming in and seeing what is going on...helping where I can and asking for help, too. There are some great folks here and everyone is always willing to lend a shoulder, some advice, or a butt-kicking if it's needed! LOL

Glad to see you here! welcome2-1.gif

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And to everyone here...have a great weekend!

Stephanie--I have been lurking about this site for some time. Just became active in August. It is a great site for information, support or just gabbing with others. I got my band on August 27th and again on the 29th. It slipped due to trama from hernia surgery. So, my day surgery turned out 5 day surgery!!!! But doing ok now.

OK...I think I got this figured out...at least I hope.

The pic of me sitting on the couch was this past christmas, 285-ish.

The pic of me standing is tonight.

      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!!

      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...
