Hello Lapband friends,

Time for latest progress pics! I have had my band for 5 months today, and it is all going really well. I have lost 40.9kg (90.1lb), and am feeling fantastic! I was finally able to go to a "normal" clothes shop last week and buy clothes size 2XL!!! You could not wipe the smile from my face!

I have attached pics of my progress side-on, as well as in my new clothes compared to my old clothes.

It hurts me to say this but I hate the "old" me, and I am totally disgusted that I allowed myself to ever look like I did. But no time for feeling sorry anymore, time to move on with the new me!

Take care all,

Joshie :smile:.

I want to share! I hope I can figure out how to get pictures on here right...

Attempting to post some before and after photos......

Before:

After (so far):

This will be a good way for me to see that difference as well, since I don't always feel like I've lost much.

Sorry if the pictures are big!!

The purple scrub shirt pics are from December 16, 2007, one night before surgery and the the blue dolphin shirt pics are today, almost 6 months out (if this works)

May 31st was my one year mark. I started out at weighing 250lbs and currently weighing 143lbs. I made my first goal of reaching to 150lbs. I have three pictures. The first set is 1 week before surgery. The second is about 4 months after and then the third is me in Feb. I need to take some new pictures cause I still look way different now than I did in Feb.:biggrin:

Hi:

I just got banded 21 days ago, but the change is already impressive...

I have lost 26 pounds since then....8 of them on pre-surgery diet.

I am recovering well....
