I am at 10 months post-banding and wanted to share my NSVs with all of you. :clap2:

In no particular order:

1. I have a noticable jawline & cheeckbones, and only 1 chin.

2. I can sit in any seat now and not be squished in by the sides.

3. I now shop in the misses section for my tops (size Large).

4. I weigh less now than I have for the last 18 years.

5. I can cross my legs!

6. I can sit in a booth in a resturant without my belly hitting the table.

7. My collarbones are visible again.

8. Hubby can reach all the way around me when he hugs me.

9. I am just over 1/2 way to my goal weight (mine, not doctors).

10. I can look down when standing and see my toes!

At my first visit to the surgeon my weight was 329. I now am 249.6. My personal goal is 165 or so (doctor says 135).

At 5', 3", that was a lot of weight to carry around. I work out 1 1/2 to 2 hrs 5 days a week at the gym and love it. I hope to be at goal weight at my 2 year bandaversary.

Thanks for sharing with me.

Hu-ray! Thanks for posting this! The NSVs are so very important to show depth and texture for your journey!

CONGRATS!

Those are wonderful NSV's indeed. The scale can not measure the pleasure of sitting comfortably in any seat, any where.

      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.
