How wonderful for all of you. This gives me hope. I am in the inbetween stage of healing before my first fill. I don't have restriction and am hungry! But God will see me through.

So tell me, how IS life 100 pounds lighter? I want to feel it so much it makes me fight tears. I know its coming, I know it takes time, I know I have to be patient.. but sometimes it just hits me that I will be 100 pounds lighter this year and I'm just overwhelmed by it. Too good to be true kind of a thing.

So please share what it feels like, what changes it has made in you and in your lives. It helps it be more of a reality for us, in some odd way.

I lost 95 lbs in about 18 months before becoming pregnant. This time, I plan to make it well past 100

How has loss of 100 pounds changed my life? Here are just a few off top of my head.....

• I can go out in public and not be embarrassed.
  
• I can wear bluejeans comfortably.
  
• I can fit into booths at resteraunts and movie theaters without problems.
  
• My legs don't rub together catching my pants on fire....:nervous
  
• My nieces and nephews can sit on my lap, I never had one before.
  
• I have more confidence in myself to get up in front of crowds now.
  
• I can wear a seatbelt in the vehicle now (before it would not fit)
  
• I don't suffer from severe depression anymore.
  
• I have energy to exercise and do more outdoors things with my husband.
  
• I can shop for clothes in my hometown instead of ordering everything from plus size catalogs.
  
• The JOY I get if I pass someone I know who has not seen me in a long time and they don't recognize that it is me!!! :clap2:
  
• My favorite...My husband tells everyong he got a new wife and did not even have to get a divorce.:kiss2:

See attached photo of how it looks.....

You look great Ethel! Notice the smile difference between the two pictures? And the leaning in closeness that you are now showing together? Okay, I gotta ask...Did hubby gain weight or does he just look bigger next to the small you?

Brenda - He does look happy, doesn't he? And so do you. Thank you for that post.. it was just what I was looking for. Any more of you? Pweeeeze?

Jack - You're such a hoot! Hey.. I don't think I've ever seen any before and after pics of you. Are there any posted here on LBT? If not.. why?

[LapBandFan 22]

Susan, thanks you are too kind. There are other NSV I am sure but I don't have time to post a lot right now as I am at work afterall.... hee hee... I have more pics of me at a photo website at www.picturetrail.com/befain go to wt loss album, you will need the password which is 1968loser. Thanks for looking.

Jenna - Yes, you are right We are both happier now. DH has gained a little bit of weight he found out he is diabetic and the medicine he is on made him gain some weight. Thanks for your kind words.

you wouldnt believe the difference 100lbs can make, even 30lbs makes a big big difference.

I dont sweat anymore even when Im not moving around

I dont get back ache

I can stand for half an hour without leaning on something

I can stand and prepare a meal

I can reach all my cheeky bits in the shower.

I can buy clothes all be it in a fat shop, but now Im within their size range.

shoes are 2 size smaller

even jewellry I can buy an 18" chain instead of a 24" chain

I sleep right through the night instead of sleeping an hour wake for 2 hours etc

I can get a bath instead of showering all the time, cos I fit now.

I can get out of the bath and in the bath !!

I can wrap a towel around myself

I can dry all my important little parts !

I can kneel down to clean the hearth

I can get up again !!

I can fit comfortable in a plane seat and get the tray down (still need an extender though)

I needed an emergency operation and was told if Id been the weight I was they would have just had to let me die !!!

in otherwords ITS FANTASTIC
