You're my inspiration!

I feel exactly the way you do too! I can't seem to get the wt. off fast enough. It gets very discouraging especially when you are trying so hard. But I know in the long run it will eventually come off. But I think you are doing a great job so keep it up and I will too!!!

It must be so nice to be in "onederland". I have a ways to go yet to get there. It can't happen soon enough for me!!! That food on the grill looks so good. What is it?

Sound like you are doing very well!

The first step is the most important step! Congratulations to you!

Congratulations!!!!! I can't wait to get to "onederland as well!" It will take a while yet. This weight just can't come off fast enough for me. I am so anxious!

Awesome job!

Yah they say if you throw up you can cause your band to slip so I am so afraid of that since I have also thrown up 3 times now.

I had that pain too. It was scarey coz I didn't know if it was heart pain or what? But it was only gas pain. I had it for like 2 wks. Just keep walking. You can take liquid tylenol to ease your pain as well. take care and glad things went well for you. Keep us posted on your progress.

Good luck to you today as you get banded. I will be thinking about you. You will be very glad that you did this for yourself. Keep us posted on your progress. Take care.

You are making a good choice! You will be very happy with the band. It is worth the wait. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Life can sure be hard sometimes huh? I wish you well and hope things start to get better for you. Take care and keep us posted.

Yes you sure are working hard at this and doing very well! Congratulations to you and keep up the good work!

I bought the rocket blender which is very small and has a small canister along with a larger one. The smaller one is perfect size to blend or chop up your chicken, tuna, or whatever you want. I mix miracle whip fat free, and add celery, onion or even pickle relish to it. Yum. Can eat this on whole wheat crackers. You can also use this small blender to make your protein shakes in. I still have the protein shakes when I feel I have over indulged I make up for it by having a protein shake for breakfast. Plus the added protein is good for you and helps you to feel full. The more protein you have the better. You can even sprinkle it on some of your other foods to get it in your diet. I have sprinkled the powder in sugar free puddings and other foods which you can't even taste it. Good luck!

Yah - that was me too 2 months ago! But I was succesfully banded 1/17 and have lost 40 lbs so far. You will be able to eat solid foods in no time at all - just small portions. Everyone gets nervous and doubts themselves before surgery date trust me! You will do fine. Good luck and keep us posted!

Well it happened to me today! I thought I would try out a packet of tuna without the water as I have never had it before. Well not thinking, I ate it without moistening it first. Well it didn't take long until I was in total miserable pain of being "stuck". I thought I would die. After about 5 minutes of this torture, I started sliming and then totally throwing up. Lesson learned - do not eat dry packaged tuna without moistening it first. Sometimes I can be so stupid it seems! Lol

CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO UPDATE MY TICKER BAR ON MY SIGNATURE PAGE? I UPDATED THE WT. INFO ON MY TICKER BAR BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW ON THE BLOGS ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE. THANK YOU!

Hmmm - I did all this and it still is not updating. Soooo frustrating! Yah you would think it would update automatically on your signature after you update the wt. on the ticker bar?????

If anyone wants to get rid of any extra large clothes, I would greatly appreciate them. I am only 5 ft. 2 in. though. I was wearing 2x -3x clothes but lost 40 lbs. I gave them to Goodwill. Thank you.

Good luck to you as you get banded and start your journey! Keep us posted.

Yes it is - Congratulations!

Congratulations! Awesome job. Also - you have some awesome recipes on your blog. Can't wait to try em all out! Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow - what a great story! I am so happy for you. Congratulations! Too bad your boyfriend didn't have it done with you. That would have been great. Maybe when he sees your progress and happiness - he will join the lapband wagon. Keep us posted on your progress and you will surely find this forum full of other banders willing to put their feelings out there to help others too. It is great. If I can be of any help to you please message me any time. Good luck.
