I had surgery on Oct 23, 07.

I have lost 21 pounds so far tomorrow is my weekly weigh in, so I am sure I will see more results, and that number will go up.

My band is great, I hardly notice any pain at all.

I am not writing about the weight lost, I am writing about the way my body looks and feels. I was not lucky enough to be born with a pear shape, I am an apple. I used to liken myself to an egg walking on tooth picks. My body has been so out of balance, and not happy with me.

All the sudden, I'm waking up earlier, I've got a spring in my step. I feel fantastic. All this time, I cursed my body when I realized I should have appreciated it. I am so lucky that this body of mine didnt give out, have a heart attack, whatever while I was abusing it, and hating it.

i'm watching the weight loss, watching how fat is melting off of me, and for the first time, I am starting to feel like an attractive person.

Its kind of amazing.

Isn't it funny how great it is possible to feel? I just hit the 20 pound mark this morning and I had surgery on Oct 29th. I just started walking over the weekend am up to two miles (I do in-home walking to Leslie Sansone DVD's as I have 2 small kiddos and outdoor walking is non-productive with them along). It's so weird to see how much better your body can look and we are just getting started. And people are starting to notice the weight loss, which just adds a little more spring in your step. Great job on your weight loss and I loved reading your post!!

Yes, thank you for your posts. Although I need to know ALL information, it sure is good to hear the positive right before surgery date.

Congrats on your success!!:clap2:

      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.
