I took the big step. I did what I said I would never do, I had weight loss surgery.:eek: And I'm glad, even with the band issues I'm having now, I'm glad I did it.

While I am still not at my goal weight I am down 80 lbs:smile2:

I went from a tight size 22 to a tight size 8 jeans, (1 pair), but mostly size 10's :-). I no longer wear tight XXL tops, I fit into mediums. I no longer own any granny panties, I went out and made victoria happy and purchased WAYYYY to many pairs of cute medium size panties. :blush:
I also stocked up on cute bras, to fit my new boobies that my hubby bought me, because mine disappeared with my weight loss.

My foot went down a size, my wedding ring from a 9 to a 5.5.
I no longer have to shop in the "big girl section or stores and hope they have something cute, I shop in the "small" girl stores and always find something cute. :-)

I am not a perfect bandster, I could exercise more, I could eat a little better, But I am a good bandster, I do exercise, and I do eat Good almost all of the time, even with my band that isn't working a t the moment, I make it work for me. I eat ALL my meals on a saucer at home, I practice portion control, I try and always eat my protein first.
And while I havent lost any weight in a while, I haven't gained any either. I am happy!!!!

While I used to hide from the camera, I now don't mind it.

I hope all my November Nymphs are well and wish you all a happy banderversary month!!!:thumbup::thumbup: ]]> November 07 Bandsters Shalee04 http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f99/2-years-ago-today-i-banded-105399/ http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f99/no-more-excuses-104940-new/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:37:04 GMT This is our November, 2009 thread.
