You have all been such an inspiration to me. Congratulations to all of you on your weight loss! You all truly look wonderful. I look forward to coming on the Before/After pix. So after four months and 76lbs down I have decided to post. This is still so hard just because I have so much more to loose. I am so thankful for the results though that I hope to give others hope that we can all fight the fight of morbid obesity and obesity alike. God Bless everyone on their journey...We can do this!

<HR style="COLOR: #e9e9e9" SIZE=1>Time for an update.

I hope the pics work this time!

First pics of me: Before and After LapBanding.

The first is in 2005 and the second pic is Early 2006. Same outfit, different look!

OK, next is late 2006 after a Tummy Tuck but I'm still losing weight.

Finally, here I am a few months ago - after goal weight. (I'll just put a link here. I'm fresh out of the shower in this picture, in my undies. Don't want to offend anyone!)

Even though this is an ongoing journey, Im proud of where I am. There are those who make snide comments ("Well you lost so much weight, you probably have so much hanging skin." or even "Oh, I guess you think you look so good now. Don't get a big head.")

No, I don't have a big head, but I haven't been this size in years. Hooray for the LapBand! clap2.gif

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.
