The picture above is from April 8, 2009 at 247lbs (25 lbs lost) and May 13, 2009 (40 lbs lost). I am really starting to like this band. I am really starting to feel and see the weight coming off. The weight loss is making up for all the little inconveniences of the band. I am getting excited and can't wait to see the end results!!

Unless, it gives me big results. I am now down 33 pounds in five weeks.
This morning when I got up, I decided to try on some of my clothes that I haven't worn in about two years. To my surprise, most of them fit and the rest should fit shortly.
I have to say that it felt very good this morning. I knew that my other clothes were getting too big but I didn't think that I could fit into a XL top yet. So excited...getting back down into the "regular" sizes. I look forward to the day of no more Ws behind the number. I have always thought in my head that that number represents WIDE and not womens.Things are truly starting to look up!

This has to be the first time in my history that I actually lost weight over Easter weekend. Unfortunately, it was only .4 pounds. I am trying to remind myself that I probably would have gained 5 pounds over the weekend at Grandma's house. You know how grandmas can cook and all the sweet things. I kept to my four ounces a meal and only had one cookie with milk as a cheat the whole weekend. I managed to stay away from the chocolate. That is a weakness for me so that was an accomplishment in itself!
I will get my first adjustment in two weeks. I am getting hungry between meals now so I am hoping that it will help.

At the 25 lb mark!
Apr 08, 2009
As of today, I have lost 25 pounds!!! 102 left to go now! I have been pretty frustrated this week because the weight was not coming off. I wasn't supposed to eat solids until Friday but my friend Amy, who had surgery the same day, said that she was able to do it. It is so much more satsifying. I think that I was not eating enough calories a day to lose weight on the liquids. I was consuming 500 calories if I was lucky. After consuming more calories yesterday, it resulted in a pound lost today. No complaints here.
Today, my sister is going to her appointment with her primary care doctor to try to get a referral for the lapband. I have my fingers crossed for her! I hope to hear from her this afternoon.
