Things got done this weekend............. Started with the underwear.... there is no reason one person needs 90 pair of underwear. Why do the call them pair when it's just one... Hmmmm. Got them down to 50. So most of you know i had the band done in 2009 and got down to 143... size 6... very few 4's. Anyway, i never got rid of them because the weight came on 5lbs here 10lbs there... till i had put back 30lbs after the removal. Fast forward to Aug 28, 2019.. Sleeve. Back down, but lower than before and now a lot of the size 6's are too big. So my wonderful husband took me shopping Saturday at Chico's and left with 4 new shirts and 3 new pants. Went home and started the purge..... went through EVERYTHING in my closet and my skirts now fit and a **** ton of pants, all my dresses that were making me look like stuffed sausage... fit... Now i get to shop in my closet again. I did manage to throw out a pile at least 2' high of stuff that is 2x too big. Tonight i get to go through Shorts, sleeveless tops and workout clothes..... after crossfit... i can see a bunch of OOTD post.... Today, are a pair of olive chico's pants bought before band removal.... and a plain white shirt.... I know.. it's too big... but i love it. Pants are too big in the waist... but they fit everyplace else...

You have great boobs.... Love the dress.... Wrong shoes. You need some sexy strappy ones. I wore these for NYE 2018.... They would be perfect...... This was, Of course, Jan 1, 2018.... I had my band removed 10 months before, so i had put on like 15lbs.... I'm going to have to go home and try that dress on again. Look for the VS Push and Plung bra. I can't wear them, but i have friends that do and WOW it makes a difference.

mine too.... love love love

I bought a few years back when i was a band member (LB).. hehe and it fit great. So i'm like great i can wear it again now.... too big... crap cuz i really like it..... guess it will go in the donate pile

mine doesn't squeak... hehe.... they are tight... that's for sure. No, my legs didn't sweat. I wore them for hours at our christmas party and for new year eve

OOTD..... This dress is now too big....

I had my band placed in 2009, lost and maintained 89lbs for 7+ years. then in 2017 i got the flu and slipped my band.... So out came the band. I looked on and off for years for someone to revise.... but keep getting NOOOO you don't weigh enough. Over that time i put on 30lbs of the weight i lost. Went from 143 to 173.5. I was so depressed that i was doing everything i could and i was still gaining.... Crossfit, starving my self, diet pill.... nothing worked. I was weeks away from going to Mex to get the MGB when i happen to call a local dr. He agreed to see me. We talked and he said that because i had had the band that he could do a revision even though it was 2.5+ years out. He just had to note it in the file that i was a previous bander. So Aug 28, 2019 i revised to the sleeve. I had to pay out of pocket 14K. Worth every penny. As of today... down 38.5lbs in 19 weeks. 5'1" (now 51 y/o) 2009: SW: 232, LW: 135, but my most consistent weight was 143. Size 20 to a size 6 2019: SW: 173.5, CW: 135. Size 4-6 Pros of the band, i had total control of my diet. What i ate and didn't eat and if i ate too much, i "got rid of it". Sleeve, no maintenance. I can't eat nearly the amount of what i ate with the band. 2-3 bites and im done, but i'm hungry again in about an hour. I've only had two episodes of vomiting in 19 weeks. If your dr. will do a revision at the same time as a removal..... i would do it. Look into the Mini GB. Its what i really wanted, but my dr doesn't do them. So i choose to go with the sleeve and be 10 min from his office..... vs having to fly to Mex.

looks great and love the "beard"... just make sure you keep it nice and neat... and NOOOOO neck hair.

Love....

HOTTTTT HOTTTT HOTTTTT..... I love them. Mine are like years old... i actually got them at a thrift store... .50 cents.... heheh..... never wore them till christmas. PM me where you got yours................ LOVEEEEEEEEEEE. this is totally coming from a Hetrosexual place... but i'd do ya....

You are so sweet.... @sillykitty

We had a great NYE.... Starting to see the weight loss.... Wish i had taken a full-length picture... Girl that took didn't. Oh well....

Better.... but the legs are still to big... I feel your pain. Unless they are skinny jeans or leggings, all my dress slacks are just like this.

and if i ate too much.... i could easily get rid of it..... Now that's total honesty.

no.... it's way to big for you..... you body is too cute..... leggings and boots is a yes

I was thinking the same thing. We are going to a house party, so it won't be too fancy.

Smoking dude...

thanks.... below my goal weight of 140.... down to 136 as of this am

The control..... I had complete control of how much i could eat

Today's OOTD I am in love with these cheap ass leggings from Walmart..... I think they are like $5. They fit high on the waist and does not roll down. Super soft.....

Not going to lie.... i do miss my band sometimes. But the sleeve is doing great.... today 137lbs.... that's a 36.5 lbs loss since Aug.

Yes.... she was my "other half".... and everyone calls me Chris.... but my name is Christina.... so.... she became Tina.

Ok.... so I use to have a lot of pictures on here.... before, during and after when i had the band... but i hid them and now i can't figure out how to open them.... Anyway, Here is my Before, Before pic. Blue shirt, 232lbs. It was my first dr. visit pic. Swim suit is at my very best before having Tina removed 143lbs. That was taken in the summer of 2016. The burnt orange sweater is today..... I weight less now than in the swim suit..... Today 137lbs.

from a 10 to a 4 whoop whoop

OOTD..... Tusday the 17th...... Super comfy....
