I've seen this in some of the other monthly support group threads and thought we should have one too!

I guess I'll start:

1. I've went down 2 sizes on clothes

2. I'm finally starting to see my cheek bones

3. I don't have to struggle when standing up from a chair anymore

Oh, I had a new one yesterday. I had to buy a new bra because mine was soooo big on me!

silly me - i just realized this was a sept 07 thread i subscribed to...i'm just a few wks away:wink_smile: being banded in oct 07 ...

i think this is such a great thread, probably one of my fav!!!

today i got called tiny. i KNOW i'm short at 5'1 standing upright - but for a neighbor to tell me i'm so petite made me giggle from my toes to my nose...LOL

make no mistake - i got thighs for DAYS, and can be the best nut cracker for the holidays, but am thrilled they're getting solid vs swinging on their own, along w/the butt that could have qualified for it's own zip code.

congrats to everyone here, !!!

way to go luluc. BTW, I am an October bandster too. I think it's ok....

-I can jog/run and I do!

-I love to exercise

-My closet is empty and every single day I have to take something else out that is way too big. (even though this makes me so mad bc what am I going to wear!)

-I have so much energy

-I saw a guy checking me out the other day. OMG!

thanks ya'll!!!!

tulipstar - i agree, exercise is great & the energy that comes with it...congrats on your NSVs!!!!...especially the guy checking ya out:tongue:

This has to be my most favorite thread on Lapband! I have smiled at each one of your achievments. Well done everyone.

I am still very much in the early stages of my weight loss but I have 3 NSV´s that I am proud of so far.

1. I can wear both my wedding band and engagement ring on my finger. Before I could barely wear the ring. (Although my "real" wedding ring is waiting patiently for me to get smaller so I can wear the real diamonds again.

2. I bought a pair of 3/4 jeans a few months ago and the waist was so tight I couldn´t do up the zip. They now fit and look so good, my DH was checking out my a$$ yesterday and loving the way it looked.

3. Another pair of jeans that I bought, I could fit into them but they were so uncomfortable that I didn´t wear them. They are now lose fitting.

I love these little achievements.

Great NSV's everyone!!!!

I recently bought some workout pants and I was able to wear an XL, IN THE REGULAR SIZES!! I know they are stretchy, but I don't care....they fit!! I can't wait until I can do all my shopping in the regular sizes. What a wonderful day that will be!

Today I was driving down the road and DS was sitting in the front passenger seat. He kept looking at me then he said, "Mom, I don't think that lapband thing was supposed to work so fast!" He said that I am officially 81% to being "hot". He is sooooo much like my DH. They both crack me up!!
