Thanks you guys! Janet, I think once your happy with yourself, no matter how much you have lost, the whole journey finally feels worth it! Keep it up, your doing GREAT! Copa, congrats on your surgery date! I was there less then 6 months ago and couldn’t be more excited to start my new life. you wont regret it i promise! Sandra, thanks so much for the nice comments! I couldn’t do it without the support I get from this page! It really means a lot! At your highest you feel at your all time low, but ever pound you loose from there is just making you feel better and better each day! The only thing I want from this surgery is to feel better about myself, no matter if im 10 lbs down or 100. Again, thanks!

Weird i got on here today, I’m at my half way mark.. my weight loss is starting to slow down a little bit, but im finally comfortable to post some really really bad pics of myself at my highest because I can actually see the change. I am feeling really good about myself, I’ve been saying, if I don’t loose another pound, I will be totally happy. Every pound I loose from here is going to be bonus. I finally feel really good about myself. This is the first time in my life that I can actually say that. Its amazing what weight loss can do to your self-esteem. When I was at my smallest (about 200) I would always feel so self-conscious. Being as high as I’ve gotten, being at 225 is a dream come true. My confidence is sky high! This is the best part about the Lapland! I am also noticing how much people actually consume in one sitting.. like non-overweight people. Its crazy! I also am noticing how much I used to eat. I was riding with my friend who stopped at Arby’s the other day and I looked at the menu. I used to get the biggest combo and an order of cheesy potato bites on top of that, and I could eat more after that! That part trips me out the most. Just thought I would let people know how it feels to be at your half mark point. It is truly AMAZING!!!!! :thumbup:

Hey guys. I don’t know if anyone has talked about this yet, but there are very inspirational vlogs on youtube. One in particular is skymoon1982 (put her name in search and go to her page to see all the videos). She has been posting a video every week since she got her lapband, and she has over 100 videos now. She gives great tips and got to her goal weight within 7 months. I get so excited every week to see her latest video. She is a great motivator so you should check it out:thumbup:. *I don't think she'll mind me posting this since she said the reason she does the videos is to educate other bandsters
