11 Months! Wahoo! Give us #'s
katiebug replied to christasha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Alright, I voted a day late, but whatevs. I'm down 125lbs. It's given me a new sense of confidence that I love, but that has lead me to some not so happy times. More or less stressful times. Anyway, I'm feeling great. I know my ticker says I could lose like another 7lb but I think I'm happy where I am right now. As long as I don't go up a pant size, I think I'll be okay. Before: 2x tops & 24 pants Now: M/L tops & 12/13 pants 2006 2008 -
I didn't have any co-morbidities. I had been looking into getting banded a year before I actually did, so my surgeon kind of helped me. Like, I didn't weigh enough because I had been trying to lose the weight so he gave me some weights to hold on to when we did my official insurance weigh-in.

I'm not a snooper or anything but I saw you finally got approved. Congratulations!

What's a good way to meet a guy? Do guys actually like bigger girls?
katiebug replied to Amethystjade's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't see how you couldn't have a boyfriend. You are fucking gorgeous. I wish I could help, but I can't. See, I've had two boyfriends, but it was before I was banded. Now that I'm almost at goal, I've been having sex every once in awhile, but no steady boyfriend. & that's all I really want. You seem like a pretty confident & funny person, which is the only thing I could suggest, since I know that's what I need. I hope this could have helped in come way haha. -
Thank you! -

I'm down 122 lb & looking to possibly lose 10 more but I am very much happy with what I've lost right now. I still have some distorted views of how I look because of the excess skin. I don't see a TT in the future anymore as we are having financial problems. I'll just deal with it. Also my port sticks out a little bit & will cause some discomfort almost on a daily basis. Anyway, I should tell you something good! I'm like a size 13 now & can wear a S/M/L top. Usually a M/L. I've also been going out more but still no boyfriend. & it's horrible because one of my best friends told me he really likes me but he has a girlfriend. They've been together for 2 & a half years so he doesn't want to break up with her. Lame huh? Either way, I just like the flirting. & who wouldn't? Haha I'm glad to see everyone is doing well. I can't wait until we all have our bandiversaries! -
Oh my goodness, I though collarbones were amazing but then yeah, I saw my wrist bones. Love it!

How many sizes did u go down vs. the amt you've lost? curious..
katiebug replied to Crummy78's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I noticed it took a long time for me to actually start dropping sizes. But now it seems as though I have to get a new size every like 15lbs. Anyway, I started at a size 24 & now a 14/12/10 haha yeah. My tops were 2x & now they can be a L/M/S. Its kind of weird. -
Hmm, see in retrospect, I wouldn't have told anyone. If I run into an old friend who doesn't know I have the band, I just tell them I eat significantly less. People judge & I'd rather not have that burden while I'm going through a life-changing experience. But you should find maybe like one friend, who you KNOW will understand & support you. I don't know.

I've been in counseling for like 10+ years & finally got out of it. I'd rather be able to get over this shit without a counselor. You can't always tell them EVERYTHING & I feel like that'd be the only way to get anything out of it.
-
I wish I could get over myself & just start having fun. I know I'm no longer over weight, but I still feel like I look big. Ugh!
-
I straight up can't drink beer now. But I'm okay with that. A little wine or liquor & I'm good since I'll have such a little amount of food in my stomach anyway. When I was fat, I missed out on all the parties, so I'm trying to hit that up now. Unfortunately, my self-esteem is still very low. That's where the booze kicks in! Haha

Most recent picture. I need to take another one. I have a full on beard now!

Oh man, you can really tell a difference. & yeah, you are super cute. -
So, I've lost a bit of weight since I started this thread & gained the tiniest bit of confidence, but it has definitely helped. No boyfriend right now though. But that's cool.

Up top weight loss (ladies)
katiebug replied to la8again's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Gah! I was a very full 38c & sometimes 38d but now I'm a 34b. I didn't realize how much I was going to lose in the boob area. I'm quite sad actually, haha. -
Today is my nine months & I'm down 107 lbs. The weight is still coming off, but only 1-3 lbs every 1-2 weeks. I also haven't started working out yet, only a little jogging here & there. But yeah, I hope everyone is doing well!

You are looking so great! -
I just voted & she is winning!

Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!
katiebug replied to Rockin' Robyn's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I finally reached 100lb about a week ago. For some reason, 100lb doesn't seem like as much as you'd think. Probably because I'm tall. Anyway, I'm happy. I think getting a TT would help though haha.
