banded 1/24/05

first fill tommorrow!!

You look awesome:) Way to go!

Good Job! You can really tell!!

Way to go!!!!! you look wonderful!!!

You are a beautiful woman even with all the fat. I can really tell a diff in your face. You are going to be a knockout!

I am encouraged to start taking photos, but my husband says NOT to post anything online because the whole world will see. I tell him I want the whole world to know there is hope for obese people!

Good job Lauren!

Take those pics Alice.

Hope you don't mind I put the pics side by side. I can really see the difference. You should post these on the before and after pic thread.

Wow, Lauren! Just look at that window, it says it all....As much difference as day AND night! You are beautiful!

You look wonderful! I am in my second week of banding and haven't weighed

yet (its 2 weeks tomorrow). I hope I do as well as you have done. Keep up

the good work!

P.S. Love your son's name. I have a Connor (8yrs old) also!

I can really see a difference. By the way, welcome to Two-nesia!

Hey Lauren... WTG! You are right -31 pounds DOES show. Keep up the good work... (you are so pretty).

Great job...Thanks for the photo, can't wait for the next one!!!!

Lauren, you're doing great!! Good luck with your fill--tell Dr. Bertha I said hi!

(Speaking of which, I hope you'll be coming to the support group meetings. I'd love to meet you!)

Great Job Lauren, 31 lbs does make a difference. Go pick up 31 lbs of dog food at the grocery store see how heavy it is, I do it al lthe time, it is kind of motivating to me to go and pick up 80lbs of dog food or 80 lbs period and see how far i have come , you're doing a great job! Congratulations

Great pictures, and yes, you really can see a difference!

I love seeing the wonderful difference weight loss makes. You look great, I'll have to try to do duplicate of my before now that I've lost 32 lbs.
