I feel - healthy, happy and still can't believe how much

my life has changed since this surgery

I need to work on - staying on track, it is getting harder

but I will make my goal!!

Starting at size 38/40; 6X at my heaviest; 30/32 4X surgery day

Current size...not sure, I can fit some 24, 26, 2x, 3x depends on what it is..clothes shopping is hard right now so I've decided to hold off until my current clothes fall off

I feel .... scared, nervous, excited, frustrated, accomplished...changes every single day!

I need to work on: not letting this process get to my head and just going with it.

I've never had a problem with excercising, it's dieting and making good food choices that I've had problems with. Since surgery I've become so obsessed with not eating the wrong things that at times I just don't want to eat. Which then causes me to over eat later. Vicious cycle. I need to just go with the flow. Getting better every day! If only I could stay away from the mini snickers jar at work...they are little devils!!!

Starting size: 30 pants, 3x shirts

Current size: 24-26 pants, 1x/2x shirts

I feel... grateful for this tool that is working despite a 5 mo. plateau - I'm not gaining, and still exercising

Working on...I have to work on drinking more, and not snacking in the car!

New question:

I was surprised at: weight came off easy at first, and this summer I still swam 3 days/week and walked other days but slowed down to nil. My clothes still do change, but it is getting tiresome being between the same few numbers on the scale - I am happy that I finally bumped through the 240s and now keep hovering between 236-37!

At 258, I was wearing 24/26 and 3x tops.

At 145, I am wearing size 8 pants - Kim Rogers from JC Penny's. Large tops/some medium

I am very pleased to have lost this much weight and kept my weight gain with my unfil to about 12 pounds. I had gotten to 133 in December but was throwing up daily and decided to do an unfil. I put on 10+ pounds in the 1st 2 weeks but after experiencing anemia from nose bleeds last week, and being hospitalized for 3 days with blood transfusions, I have lost excess Fluid and staying around 145. I am grateful!!

I think I will keep the band unfilled for a while longer as stress affects my band and I don't wanna go there right now.

Good luck to all!

I feel like a new person! I walk by mirrors and double take,because I cannot believe that the person I am seeing is really me!

Need to work making it to the gym 4 days or more a week.

I knew going into this, that getting banded was going to be a marathon, not a 50 yard dash, and the this journey reminds me daily of how much work this is!

Congratulations to everyone - you inspire me!

Great thread. It's always good to see where others have come from and where you currently are. I have a hard time visualizing size and weight. I am not a very good judge/estimator of weight. I am a bit different from many people. I never saw myself as an overweight person. I felt like a smaller person. I would see myself in photos and say, "Wow, I thought I was looking cute! Those are my clothes but damn...Is that how I look?" Or I would just plain hate the picture or even taking pictures.....Things are changing............

Starting size-18/20, highest weight 255lbs.

Current size-12/14, although I bought a pair of 11 juniors jeans yesterday! OMG!!!

I feel-Renewed and sexy!!! Somedays, still fat....

I need to work on-my stomach and toning

My Goal-150lbs....

I am having the time of my life....Still learning my band.....Still loving my band.....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
