I went from squeezing myself into size 22's to a 4 and my wedding dress falls off me now!

Oh, and I am a runner now! That to me is just as huge!

I can run along with my 6yo son, and play soccer with him. My 23yo daughter and I share clothes. I can walk for hours with my partner, and he and I went hiking in New Zealand, and he got winded before me. I also realise that big and healthy is better than skinny and living off cigarettes and coffee. I have a healthier relationship with food than I have had in my entire life.

Since last March I went from a size 20 jeans (plus size), 2-3x top to size 16 jeans and xl top!!! I now go to the gym and can walk much more than I have in a long long time. Took me 19 years to get under 200 lbs. and I love it!

Love seeing everyone else's results and happiness.

Oh I thought of a few more.

I am not longer a slave to 'bad' food. Don't get me wrong, when my band starting leaking, I gained because I could eat more, BUT I never EVER had the urge to drink a coke and still don't, or have sugar in my coffee/tea, or have a craving to have KFC. I chose 'quality' food over junk food, every single time.

And while I didn't enjoy (and still don't enjoy) formal exercise, I love getting out and walking, or skating, or running around with my kids. I enjoy being active, where I used to prefer sitting on the sidelines watching every one else get sweaty.

So leaking band or not, the lapband HAS changed the way I perceive food and has changed the level of activeness in my life. I don't think I quite realised that until I rejoined this forum a week ago.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
