2-Month Bandiversary- Down 34 pounds!

Hi all, Just wanted to report in at the 2-month mark of getting my lap-band - I'm down 34 pounds to 224!! I've updated my photos on my profile (found a better 'before' shot too) and also posted front, back and side photos from day of surgery on Sept. 12, Oct. 12 and Nov. 12 at: http://www.shesshrinking.blogspot.com I just got my 2nd fill and I think I now get what restriction is!! Holy cow! I had my 2nd PB last night as I horked up a chunk of chicken - I really find PB's to be rather traumatic, but it's always my fault for not chewing or taking too big a bite. This one was really a result of the new fill, and getting used to it.... Some tidbits: - Up until fill #2 this week, I've been able to eat if I chose to; now there will be no more choice - which is good, but another adjustment. I'm ok with that - I'm getting to the gym just about every day, doing workouts I like - mostly cardio between 35 - 60 minutes. I got an iPod Nano and budget for buying music that inspires my workouts! It sure helps! - I was busting out a size 24 pants, and now wear mostly 20's but still a few 22's. - I was starting to push size 22/24 tops, but now am squarely in an 18/20 and even some 14/16's at Lane Bryant! How about that! - The scale never goes up - it may hang out in the same spot for a bit, but never goes up. That is so nice! - I am so happy I did this!!!! Thanks for listening! I hope everyone is well! Jenn 258/224/155ish

Congratulations on your success!!!! I am happy you are doing well, and happy with your decision! Keep up the good work! Maureen

Thanks Maureen! Holy crapola, your going have your surgery in like 5 minutes!!! Wow! The countdown begins! ~Jenn

Yippidy doo dah, Jenn!!! You're on a mission, and you're movin' fast!!! I'm happy that YOU'RE happy you did this! That is what matters. You're getting in your exercise, feeling good in your size 20's!!! I know that feeling: just was able to buy size 20 jeans and they fit perfectly!!! I gave away my size 26/28s and my 22/24 pants; but I have to keep the 22 shirts...I'm a bit heavier up top than down below.... Soon, you know, you won't be able to shop at Lane Bryant!!!! All their stuff will be too BIG!!! I love Lane Bryant, don't get me wrong, but, if you don't have to be limited in the stores you can buy your clothes: go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations skinny girl! Jessica

Jessica, Man, you are kickin' booty doing it all on your own! Way to go! It's all very exciting isn't it? Though, we are totally opposite - I'm so much bigger on the bottom than up-top, but as long as it's going away, I don't really care where it leaves from Take care & keep up the good work! ~Jenn

Congrats Jen! You look mahvahlous! Rosa
