Lately I've been struggling with this question a lot. After getting the band, wow, three years ago next May, I lost a lot of weight and fairly fast, although the last, oh year and a half, I've been dealing with so much depression and stress, haven't gone to the doctors at all, no follow ups or anything after the first year, I've been eating like crazy and hardly working out at all after a devestating knee injury that prevents me from doing almost any cardio. Luckily, I have only gained maybe 10 pounds back, bringing my total weight loss in 2 1/2 years to about 45 pounds or so. I'm not sure whats really causing all of this, I worry that I've totally destroyed my band, some days I can eat an entire pizza, other days three small bites of chicken will make me "slime" for an hour. I know I need to get checked out desperately, but I'm so terrified of actually having my failure out there in front of my doctor (who I haven't seen in forever and probably thinks I moved or died or something.) Getting the lapband so young, I know that I really wasn't ready or perhaps it was the wrong choice for me. I still eat, out of boredom, depression, and just simply that I love food and lots of it. I know I'm stupid for ruining this opportunity, I'm such an "avoider."

I bought new jeans yesterday because all my pants are falling off me. The pair I ended up getting are Levi's skinny jeans in a size 13! Thats right, juniors sizes! The last time I fit into juniors sizes I was probably in 9th grade. I was so excited, even though they wern't cheap. Woo!

Hey everyone! Its been forever since I've been on here, busy busy busy with school and 2 jobs and an ever growing social life, I can't complain though, I'm down 55 pounds and feel more comfortable with myself than I ever have. I still have about 50 more to go before I am at goal, but I'm a little more than halfway there and only about 6 months out, yay!

Hey everyone, first time on here in months! I can't wait for school to be over so I have a little more time to myself. With 5 classes and 2 jobs I've had little time to focus on working out, but the weight has been coming off slow, but fairly steady, I've lost 55 pounds as of today, woo!

[/url] the first two are taken a month before surgery at the beach, I'm pretty much at my highest weight there, there not that great of pictures, the dress covers up my giant belly, which is where I can see most of the difference since loosing 40 pounds. The second two are taken at two different concerts in August, I'm about 3 months post op and down 40 pounds :smile:

Yay! This is me about 40 ish pounds down :biggrin:

I finally lost a couple pounds! About 5 in the last week, since my second fill. I hadn't lost anything in weeks so it was a relief to see the scale move, although I know theres no way I can loose any significant weight until I hit the gym! I haven't had a day off in months, so whenever I don't have to go to work until late, I sleep as late as I can then do errands and such, if I have to work in the morning I'm exhausted by the time I get out (I'm a banquet waitress...) I work two jobs and usually end up working one in the morning then the other in the night, its so hard to find time to breath, forget go work out! When school starts I'm hoping to maybe get on some kind of schedual at work so my life is a little easier to deal with. :biggrin:

I've only lost about 35 pounds and right now my boobs look nice, but I can already tell they are deflating. I used to not be sure, but I've always been known as the girl with the huge knockers lol. If they were seriously deflated and droopy I would def get some kind of lift, maybe with an implant. I want to have nice big boobs that look like 20 year old boobs, not 70 year old boobs~! lol
