Welcome Lucy!! Good luck !! , it is really life changing and I like the change!! You have come to the right place, you can get alot of questions answered, lotta nice people here!

I just saw them and you look great ! Congrats! I hope I do half as well ! Be proud girl " You look Marvelous!!!!!"

I stay cold too , I have a big baby sleeper looking thing I wear around the house at night,( it is huge I look ridiculous,lol) but I am warm and an electric blanket with 2 controls on the bed, my husband has a fan on him and I have the electric blanket on,lol.

5ft9 big feet,lol (size10) no doubt big frame and my fingers touch.

Jill , I did the same thing with a meatball, I woke up from a nap and went to put the dinner up popped a meatball in my mouth and forgot about the band and wham! I thought I would die! My husband still freaks out when I eat meatballs,lol.

I was that way , I had to go for a small unfill. I was too tight and I had a .2cc removed and made a great difference. I can eat good food again, and it is wonderful, don't wait as long as I did though my hair started breaking from lack of nutrients.

I did it too and it went away in a few days, nothing to worry about is what my pcp said.

I love grits, had them yesterday. I am southern, (TN) and love them with butter and sugar , of course I love butter and sugar on anything ,one of the reasons I am here,lol. I would eat it on chicken, but I can't eat chicken!

I have started deep conditioning my hair and it seems to have helped alot, I still lose hair but no where near as bad as before. The doctor said it is due to lack of nutrients because I was too tight and wasnt eating , I got a little unfill and infusium shampoo,conditioner,leave in treatment has helped. But if I dont use all three I can tell the difference. Just what helps me, food for thought.

<p></p> First Easter Dress !! My first grandchild Madison

I have 4 pounds! The hardest 4 pounds to get off, they just dont want to go, they will be crying and screaming to stay but I think I can handle them being gone.....NOW,lol

Yes I have this problem and I take vitamins and biotin and b12 and try to get all my protein but the last fill I got I was too tight and couldnt eat much and the doc says I wasnt getting enough nutrients and my hair is breaking off. It doesnt happen to everyone but make sure to get enough protein and vitamins and maybe you wont have this problem. I hope you dont, it is not a good feeling.

3.4 in 4cc band

I needed that laugh! Thanx y'all!!

I want to get under 200 and exercise more.

Welcome!! Being nervous is so normal, but you'll do fine. I was so nervous I wanted to leave the hospital, but now I am so glad I didnt. Good luck!!

Congrats!! I know that is a great feeling, keep up the good work ! Changing sizes is so cool, been alot of years since I have done that and still cant believe it is happening!

3.4 in mine, and dont think I need anymore, took 3 fills to get here.

Atkins is the best for me, less sugar and taste better to me anyway, but they have to be really cold.

Way to go girl, I wish I could say that I have about 15 pounds to go before I can, I'll get there.......someday.lol

Thanks for the great link,words to live by, I need to read it everyday , I just can't seem to get it through my thick skull to EAT SLOW, I need to write it on my hand so I can read it every time I reach for something to eat,lol

I used to have a problem before surgery, Dr fixed a hiatal hernia during surgery, now I CAN eat spicy foods, so they should be fine.

Hi!! Welcome, I was nervous too, real nervous the day of surgery. I told my husband I wanted to forget it and I wanted to leave the hospital. I have had many other surgeries and have never been this nervous but it wasnt as bad as other things I have had done and I would do it again in a minute.

It is my name, I thought maybe I could remember it !!

That is a great site!! Thanks so much for posting it, I saved to my favs!
