Having a lapband gives us so many expectations. When they come true we are so delighted and when they don't happen how we imagine then it can become really frustrating.
I don't think it matters how much we research, or how much we understand, we all have aims and goals and want things to happen as fast as they possibly can. If I'm honest I want to be at goal -yesterday!
So, today something happened that made me realise this is working, this is going to continue working and you know what, I am going to get where I have never been before...to a normal BMI and be slim.
My mum sent me some new workout clothes from the UK. Those who know me, will know I've moaned about losing so much and my clothes sizes not dropping, well today that changed.
I ordered vests 2 -4 sizes lower than the size I was wearing, just to be prepared and to my utter shock (and absolute delight) the ones 4 sizes smaller are the best fit. They make my boobs look really good!!!! :nod: So from a UK 30/32 I'm now comfortably wearing a 22/24 and I still can't believe it.
It's not a huge thing, it doesn't help my health or wellbeing but boy oh boy oh boy did it make my day.
I miss 'eating' some days but today I just love my band and the way my life is going and no food on earth is worth that feeling.
