i REALLY needed to read all your entries tonight. Thanks for the laughs and encouragement. I ate 5 choc chip Cookies and other stuff I shouldn't have tonight. I am almost 3 weeks banded and have until March 4 for my 1st fill. So I felt like I could eat whatever I wanted to. Dang it! But I have stopped beating myself up and tomorrow is another GOOD day! This is such a good site to go to every night. THANKS AGAIN!!

It's so great to hear all the stories of people making it to "onderland". And for those of you who suggested panties, great idea!!!

Maybe this weekend I will be able to give myself a little treat. :thumbdown:

Hi... I'm now 6 pounds away from Onederland! I bought myself a Pandora Bracelet just before I started on my Lapband journey. I have charms for each 5, 10 and 25 pounds I lose. In the future, I'm hoping to fill the bracelet!

I am looking for a charm bracelet! I'd like the first charm to be the $ sign as we paid cash, its a hard one to find.

Oh I can chime in here, I hit Onederland TODAY!!! 199 officially and I am so psyched as this was my goal since Christmas.

I was banded on 6/9/09 and had a starting weight of 265, surgery weight of 248 and am now 199. I have gone from a 22/24 to a solid 14. I was a 16 at Christmas. Last weekend Mike and I went to Busch Gardens and this weekend I am supposed to go to Disney World. LOTS of walking. My shirts have gone from a 2x to a L and I am so happy. I have not been 199 since 1991, when my youngest daughter was born. And at the time I wore a 16. I haven't worn a 14 since the day I got married in 1987 to my ex. Somewhere I have the jeans I bought for my honeymoon, I will have to look for them, and see how they fit now. They were giving away t-shirts at the fair last week, and of course they were all size L, well I took one for Mike and he grabbed one for me, I didn't realize it until we got home. I told him I guess you have 2 now, he said why it will fit you. I was laughing and said yeah, nice thought. IT FIT. I was so happy. Last weekend while in Tampa and it was raining we went shopping, I did the new bra and underwear dance there. from a 44 to a 38, yes I am happy with the new bra size, and now my panties are an L instead of a 11. WHOO HOOO

Thinneranniesoon,

Congrats...That is an exciting thing to get into size 14. My stomach is still too flabby for size 14 jeans. But, I did buy size 14 with a elastic waste. I am also, in a 38 bra. I have treated myself to Victoria secret at Christmas. They are almost too big. My husband is happy, he always wanted me to loose. I weighed at 189.8 this morning. I go for "official" weigh in on Wed. PS:My daughter had her surgery, too, and she got into her 14 jeans. So, she would be awfully disappointed if I did, too!

I have a pair of my oldest daughters 13/14's that she was going to get rid of, and I put them on today, one more inch and I will be able to wear them. We only see each other every couple of weeks, and she is now trying to lose also, because she is into 15's and not too happy. AND she was asked to be Maid of Honor at her best friends wedding in September.
