Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

[My_o_My 0]

I never thought I would lose enough weight to actually post, so for all of you who have slow weight loss - do not lose faith.

I think I almost went one full year without a fill, I didn't have great restriction, and then I begged for him to fill me tight - and he did, and the weight started to come off again - THANK GOODNESS. I've got 40 more to go, but I have HOPE!

My first B&A I feel like sharing with people outside of the violets lol.

Here are my new befores/afters. Ignore my funny face in all of these, lol! I can't take a straight-faced pic to save my life. The first "after" pic I had to pee really, really bad (in case your'e wondering about the stance). One of these days I'll take a g-rated full-body pic. More pics on Flickr: Photos from puddin_pie.

Finally I can post a picture!!! This is a work in progress and here's how far I've come in 12 weeks since surgery. First pic is in January on our cruise on the Freedom 3 months before surgery. Second pic is this morning before church. I see a body change and an attitude change. LOVE my band!!!

i am approaching my 9 month anniversary and have lost about 115 pounds (i havent stepped on the scale in about 5 days).

my weight before surgery was 402.5 and i can now say i live in twoterville ...

my "before" shirt was a 6XL, my current shirt - 1XL ...

i can fit in 18/20 tops (from a 44ish) and bottoms are tricky - usually 20-22 fit (down from 44-46).

this has been SO worth it!!!

I'm stalling because I am eating CRAP and so I am going to try and be more active to keep me motivated. I was banded Dec '06 but chickened out on getting a fill until mid March '07. I started at 217+ lbs ( last time I looked at the scale pre-fill) and am not at 181 where I have been for weeks and I need to get back to eating right and working out.

I have 30 lbs to reach my goal, and 8 lbs until my BMI is out of the overweight range. Good thing I am sabotaging myself these days.....

I cannot resist making stupid faces because I feel like a total dork getting my picture taken.

Same shirt- one year difference, and yes, we had a Water fight at my wedding.

The photo on the left is from August 2006. The one on the right, July 2007 (My husband took the pic when I wasn't expecting it). I'm down 30. I am waiting to get my port reattached so I can get another fill (I've only had one, and that was in March '07)
