jamilyne 102668 1,207 Posted February 20, 2014 Debbie - Even though you haven't lost any weight in 3 months - your body is still changing - that's why she noticed Congrats !!!! 4 chasingadream, Bama53, PrettyThick1 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
readysetg070113 1,476 Posted February 22, 2014 Ok I went to the grocery store today and I didn't take in enough money so the checker I knew suspended my trans action because there were people behind me and I didn't want to make the wait , told him I would run to my car and get more , and to my surprise I actually did run , lmao I have only ran twice having the band , as I could barley walk before , so that was a nsv been on a plateau for 3 months , but I guess since my clothes are smaller she thought I lost more weight. A victory is a victory !!! N yes ur body is changing even if the scale isn't 3 chasingadream, Debbie3sons and jamilyne 102668 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilmispcl 298 Posted February 23, 2014 So I had the PLEASURE of flying for the first time since losing weight! Ohhhh the NSV's were COUNTLESS! Well not countless cuz you can bet your sweet bippy I noticed every single one!! Starting with the preparation...no anxiety about taking up too much of the seat next to me! Then going through TSA and the agent does a triple take of my I.D. so I tell her "It's okay, you can tell me that looks NOTHING like me!" ... and she says "It doesn't! I mean I can sorta tell it's you but...." so I said "I've lost 110 pounds!" She was sooo nice and told me how amazing I look and congratulated me! That was one TSA experience I enjoyed....probably the only one in the history of TSA. Anyway...then there was the removing of the shoes that I used to loathe because tying my shoes used to be a big chore...NOT ANYMORE!! I can take those puppies off and on and tie them NO PROBLEM!! I do it for fun sometimes! Well not really but I could if I thought it were fun. I couldn't wait to board the plane! When I got to my seat it was sooo awesome to see extra seat on both sides of my ass!!! Not a chance there was gonna be any of me spilling over into the passengers seat next to me! Then the seat belt...I heard the angels singing when I clicked the buckle and had to pull it tight...soooo much left over belt! I took a picture! LOL This was THE best trip of my life. I spent 4 days in Vegas enjoying the spa in a bathing suit with ZERO thoughts about my weight. It felt AMAZING to truly be able to relax an enjoy myself. Negative thoughts used to consume me...everything I did brought about thoughts about my weight. I'm so happy to be living without those thoughts anymore. I can do anything! I FEEL amazing and that is priceless! 7 Bama53, jamilyne 102668, Julie norton and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leannel90 206 Posted February 24, 2014 I was so excited about the plane seatbelt I took a photo! Just before surgery I was using an extender. Look at the room left on that strap now! I'm 99 lbs down, surgery was May of 2013. I went from a 26 to a size 14. Bra went from 46dd to a 38c. My energy is through the roof, and I love lifting weights! Yay for lapband!

ameyer30 132 Posted February 24, 2014 I went shopping with my mom this weekend because my clothes were obscenely large! I shopped in regular stores and bought non- plus size clothes and actually enjoyed it! 7 jamilyne 102668, readysetg070113, lilmispcl and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamilyne 102668 1,207 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I have to take my engagement ring off - it's too big to wear. I'm going to have to get it sized because I'm afraid I'm going to lose it. I'm a little sad, but it's an NSV! Edited February 24, 2014 by jamilyne 102668 4 jfc193, Debbie3sons, chasingadream and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilmispcl 298 Posted February 24, 2014 Great pics! You should be so proud of yourself! Great legs Girl! I'm jealous! LOL Thanks!! I'm always teasin' the guys at the gym not to forget "leg day". The legs have such big muscles...build them and burn more calories just existing. I love strength training! Won't get bulky but lean with definition is on it's way! 5 Bandista, jfc193, jamilyne 102668 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted February 24, 2014 Of the TONS of reasons I'm happy with my decision to get the band, not hiding from the camera is a major NSV that strokes the "vanity" part of my ego the most. Beautiful....just beautiful. 4 Debbie3sons, lilmispcl, jamilyne 102668 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
