goalseeker 695 Posted April 5, 2013 Well I am 7 months from surgery and down 69.5 pounds with no preop diet. This band has been the biggest blessing. It has definitely made this process easier although it is still hard work. I think the difference is the hard work is actually paying off when it didn't with other methods. I still struggle with seeing myself as small from time to time and I am still 35 pounds from goal but I feel so much better. I wonder if at times I have a harder time believing I was actually that big before surgery or that I am actually this size now lol 14 LL112, grownazzkid, Sonya369 and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DetChatt 188 Posted April 5, 2013 You look beautiful! Congratulations on the great success so far. Our own body image is so hard to deal with. I still struggle with that every day. I think that's where the support comes in, and we need to get that from groups like this who are living it and "get it." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
