FLORIDAYS

Evidentially when you reach a certain age the medical community thinks it's a good idea to subject their patients to a colonoscopy. I get it so I scheduled my appointment a few weeks ago for tomorrow. What I didn't do was pay close attention to the fact that I had to be on Clear liquids all of today and at 3 pm start drinking concoctions which will "clean me out".
So today I am reminding myself of the fact that I am a successful lapband patient. 3 years ago I was on liquids for 2 weeks pre op and Clear Liquids for a week post op. I CAN do this!!

I have been trying to think of how I rewarded myself and I don't think I did until I hit my goal and found out I really do like to shop !! All those years I wasted lol
Mis that ring sounds lovely!

thanks Bandista for the kind words. I am trying to get used to the new me but I tell you after being fat for so long it's hard to wrap your head around thin.... But believe me all the sacrifice is worth it!!

Here are some new pics... I can't find where the photos are on this new format yet.... But these were taken a few weeks ago......

Hi friends.. First time on in a while and see the new format and feel like I am at a new house!!! LOL. Just wanted to stop in and play catch up and see how everyone is doing and skinny you all are! I have been doing well... Still maintaining my weight since I reached my goal last December!! I can't believe I am going on 3 years banded! I go up and down about 5 lbs but that seems to be normal. I will post some pics when I figure out the new site. Look forward to hearing from you!

it's wonderful to see you I wondered about you to actually as well as so many others. So I wandered back to this site! You look amazing I am so proud of your success! Life got in the way… for the past few months And I just never found the time to sit down and post but I found u really missed you and a handful of others so thought I would try to get back in the habit again.

if you think that way the band is not a good choice for you. Thankfully we all have choices... I chose to eat small bites which are bigger the the size of grain and be a size 4/6... some others might choose to lose weight without help and that's great... I couldn't do that... I tried for years and years so the band was a perfect option for me and I'm willing to accept whatever sacrifice is necessary. 3 years out and I don't regret my decision and live a normal existence

hi missy. I missed you too!! Are those pants I sent you too big yet?

oh CG I barely recognize you and it's only been a few months. You look amazing. I never had any doubt !

FLORIDAYS!!! We missed you!!!
Great to see you back!!!

3 years ago next week I started this journey... I have no idea where the time went but I had the surgery, Paid my dues for 22 months and reached my goal last December!
The last ten months have been easier then I expected as my band is my governor! It doesn't allow me to over eat. I still do my part .. Eat small Portions, Drink Water, mentally track my calories, weigh myself daily and if I go up 3 lbs I get strict and lose it in a few days.
With my help The band has changed my life! I am a thin person for the first time in my adult life!

Hey FL, I've been wondering about you. Congratulations on your 3yr Bandiversary! You have always been an inspiration to us all. I just celebrated 1y Bandiversary on Oct 15. I have lost 102lbs and 30 lbs to go.
Really happy you stopped by.

congrats on making the choice to change your life!! Remember to stay focused on The end result.... It's a lifetime commitment and it won't happen over night. It took me 22 months to lose 227 lbs! Follow your doctors orders to the letter.... Track the calorie count of everything you put in your mouth and just learn to become one with your band. It will happen I promise. Best of luck to you!
