Hello all ! Hope you are all having a great day ! Just thought it was time to post a before and current picture .. Thanks for everyone's great support on here.. I wish you all the best of luck ! I am 1 year into my weight loss journey and 150 pounds down ! I had the lap band surgery 10 months ago and have lost 131 pounds post op.. It is an awesome tool to have but like anything else it is still hard work and takes great dedication to over come this life style change..

Life is to short not to do the things you dream of doing and I very much want to grow old and watch my daughter blossom throughout her life ! Never give quit or throw in the towel ... We can all achieve our goals together here on mfp !

    just gotta make the pics smaller. if you don't have a photo editing program you can use paint, go to image - stretch/skew then set the stretch percentages to something smaller. Make sure they are equal. This pic is 40% in both fields.

    What would you say are some of the most noticeable changes? What are some inconveniences that you used to deal with that you may not have thought about until now?

    Congratulations! It's great that you are losing while you are young and can enjoy life without the resctrictions of all that fat. You're right - life is short and before you know it - 20 years go by and if you don't lose it now - you'll have bad knees, hips, hight blood pressure, etc. Enjoy your family!

    I have alot more energy and I am able to do alot more things with my daughter ... I developed type 2 diabetes , had alot of foot and knee pain as well.. I am happy to say now that my blood sugar lvls remain in normal range with no meds and nearly all of the pain in my knees and feet is gone.. Heck I would have never thought I would be able to jog a mile non stop.. I am working on being able to complete a 5k without walking any..

    Thank you for sharing your success! I am so glad the lap band has been working for you. Can I ask how many fills you have had? What do your average daily menus look like? How much do you work out? I had lap band in May 2011 I need to lose about 215 pounds and have lost 51 pounds so including my pre-op diet. You are a wonderful inspiration. I plan on sending you a friend request if that is ok. It really helps having support from people who know what it is like to have to lose extreme amounts of weight.
    Thanks!
