joanne.lazar 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Well, I'm getting banded this Friday (the 13th :thumbup:) so I have no after photos. I started an album of the worst pics of me I can find because I didn't have time to suck in my gut. Those are my "before" pictures. I'm going to do something a little more depressing... I'm going to post photos of SKINNY me when I was thinner as a GOAL pictures. These pictures are ordered in order of milestones: Me post-college - 290lbs: Pre-College (I'm the one of the left with the lifeguard tan) - 215lbs: Is it possible I can ever make it back to that??? you can totally make it back!!!! although you look good now. here's to healthier times!!!

mrsebg 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Wow! You guys all look great! Drew, you've lost 70lbs in 2 months?! You are my new inspiration! I've lost 35 in 1 month and thought that the loss would slow down, any tips on it not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drew05 20 Posted February 24, 2009 Well I lost about 30 of that pre surgery. But stick to filling foods that stick in the pouch (steak... mmm) and no drinking 30 minutes before/60 minutes after a meal. And EXERCISE!!! It's so much fun and feels soooo good!

chocolate_snaps 3 Posted March 11, 2009 A2bachik, Sarahthree, Janesays, xtanyax, Mrsebg you all look smashing!. Everyone looks amazing! With a capital "A"! Sarahthree, I cant agree more that B&A's are huge motivators, for others as well as for ourselves. Ive been inspired by so many other bandsters, here is my contribution. OMG WHY DO I LOOK SO CONFUSED TODAY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JosShavaughn 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Sarah WOWOWOWOW... Looking at you now.. I would never think you have ever had surgery or that you ever had a need for it. You should be the posterchild for the lap-band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
