First and Goal!

I'm officially 6 months out from surgery, and I'm down to 221! I haven't been under 220 in a good 6 years. A full 30 pound weight loss plus change (as in that extra pound)! I feel like I'm right at the 1 yard line about to score a touchdown! If you can believe it, I actually ASKED my husband to take a picture of me with the girls this morning. This is the first picture in maybe forever - at least since having the girls - that I've requested a picture be taken of me. Others have been taken against my will of course.

Went shopping yesterday for the first time since surgery and bought a few new outfits that FIT! Also, I got measured for and bought a supportive bra from Lane Bryant....only 1 though b/c I'm seeing a surgeon on Thursday about a breast reduction and lift. I hear it is a painful surgery, but after toting around DD's for as long as I can remember, I can handle the pain. Plus, insurance pays for it...and I still have the filter in that helps to block blood clots. That has to come out soon, and once it is out, there is no way in hell I'm going to have it put back in for elective surgery. So, figure I'll reduce the ta-tas while I have the benefit of the filter.

When I look at the before pictures on the right of my blog, and the after picture I'm posing here, I'm so proud of the progress. I've got so far to go, but I'm proud of what I've done so far...with lots of help from the lapband and support of fellow lapbanders, friends, family and followers. I couldn't have lost 30 pounds in 6 months if not for all of the support. More updates to follow of course, but now I'm off to get the children and begin the nightly routine.

Starting Weight: 252 lbs
Today's Weight: 221 lbs
Surgery Date: March 17

  1. You look so amazing, Girl!! Seriously! I didn't have the reduction-I got some business added in because after I did the lift I was going to be flat chested which would've looked weird on my frame-but the lift and implant part really wasn't that bad. I was in pain for a few days, but I had good drugs and it was totally worth every dime I had to pay for it to not have to get my girls in my bra via oragami. You will be amazed how much more confident you feel afterwards!!

  3. I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and
    bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be
    much more useful than ever before.

  5. So much so that you саn even lose 3-5 lbs just sitting оn thе sofа or while wогking at your ԁesk,
