It's been 3 months since my Lap-Band surgery. I have lost 43 lbs forever!! I feel terrific. I am wearing size 16 jeans (started in 24's ) and I scored an XL (started in 22/24) Columbia brand fleece sweatshirt at Savers for $7.99, which fits perfectly!! I am pretty darned happy!!! I LOVE my band!!

I agree with everyone! You're doing AWESOME! Congratulations. Shopping is simply the best thing to visualize the accomplishment.

Enjoy it.

I have tried not to do too much shopping, but I have been wearing "Hammer Pants", so I had to break down and at least keep up with a pair of jeans that fit. I have been keeping a spreadsheet of my weight and measurements that I update every month on my surgiversary....that really shows the progress, and even when the scale seems to be moving slower than I hope, I can look at those numbers and see the progress. whoopie!!
