Hi out there. I am a recently banded female. I want to lose a total of 93 pounds, which I am sure will take a lot of dedication and perseverance. I have lost 8 pounds so far. I am looking for a mentor to help me reach my goals. Male or female is fine. I am in Denver, Colorado. I look forward to reaching my goal with your support!! Thanks, Katie

Great job for asking him to lunch. Just getting the nerve to do that is hard. This is how I deal with those situations. When people don't give us the answer we want, or when we are rejected, I take it as a life lesson. Of course it sucks, but I turn it back around on them. They will never know what a kind, amazing, and loving person I am. That is sad for them! Give yourself one day to cry, and then move on. I am confident that I will find my soulmate and have a family, but first I need to get myself in the best shape possible and have mental clarity before I can be a great "half" in a relationship. That was a long rant! LOL

I do have these gross weird burbs from my liquid diet, but I am willing to live with it.

I had my surgery on Friday, and I was feeling so great after surgery that I think I over did it. I was able to walk and go shopping the next day. I haven't had any pain on my incisions, but I do have a dull ache in my stomach. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not. I haven't taken any pain meds for about 24 hours though, so I think everything is getting better. I am so excited that I had this done. I am not hungry, and I am feeling great! I hope that I can get to my goal weight by next summer. I'm only thinking good things from here on out!
