75+lbs gone and "normal" bmi

What a difference! I still don't see any change in me but my son says I've lost a lot of weight. My doctor's staff took a before pic of me on 12/27/12. I was banded on 12/28/12 and I'm still wearing the same clothes. I know that I do fit in an airline seat now and the buckle fits with room to spare. However' date=' when I look in the mirror I see the same old me. Maybe it's psychological. I've been heavy all my life and even though I imagine myself thinner I just don't see it yet.[/quote']

Sometimes it takes the brain a long time to catch up with your body. I was the same way wearing the same clothes even tho I had lost weight.

Wow! That's awesome! You look wonderful so proud of you.. I was band like 11 days ago so I'm a newborn to this journey I hope to find amazing results like yourself. Once I hit the 199 mark I will have tears of joy I haven't seen that in a very long time. Thanks for sharing!

Good luck to you!

Hi guys. Just wanted to post an update and progress pic. It's a little over a year since surgery (banded 5/29/12). I'm down over 75lbs and in the normal bmi range. It's SO strange to be able to say that! Lol I'd still love to lose a little more weight to get to my goal. These last lbs are slow' date=' but steady which is fine by me! My mind still has trouble catching up with my body, but looking at old pics now and then helps put things in perspective. Hope everyone's having a good summer!
