I was banded 12/2011 and fell like I’m still learning still@30 from my initial goal

I love my band too! In December it will be 3 yrs for me started at 260 and down to 195 clothes sizes went from size 22- size 14 some size 12s. Still 40lbs from my goal and for the most part I'm enjoying the journey!

Hi @@fearfefe I just sent you a frend request on Instagram ine lifecoach_throndice

That happens when you cut carbs from your diet

I use myfitnesspal

just eat some sugar free chocolates like SF reese peanut butter cups... 5 of them are only 1 net carb. anytime I start feeling constipated I go to walgreens and get some and it straightens me out.. plus they are delish!

Hello there, looks like we are bandtwins! Dec. 13th is my day as well, I start my pre-op diet on the 29th, 2 weeks before surgery.. what about you?

hey there, how are you doing on your journey? My day is approaching, my surgery date is 12/13. Not everyone in my congregations knows, but most do, the ones that I am around the most.

JUST HOLD ON! remember the race is not given to the swift(how fast we lose) nor is the battle given to the strong(when we cant seem to get over temptation hurdles). But the reward is given to the one that endures... so girl friend, never give up. just keep doing what you know is right to do... on thanksgiving, eat really slow and off of salad plates. thats what I intend to do and I'm not even banded yet. ( Dec 13th is my date) I agree wit Loretta's comment above. Love ya sis and I'm praying for ya

hey there! I get my surgery on dec 13th.. I can eat mushy 24 hrs after surgery... its interesting how different doctors have different guidelines

Wow we gonna be band-twins!... thats my date as well, my surgery is at 8:30am... when is yours? hahaha who will be the oldest... we even weigh just about the same right now... my pre op testing is this thursday. I pray all goes well with you!

Hey there! I pray you have a speedy recovery keep us posted on your recovery

Hey there Jess how are you feeling 2 days after surgery? I pray all went well for you

I am happy to announce that my "band-date" is Dec 13th Hallelujah!! I get so excited because this has been an answered prayer for me

Amen!

PTL sis.. I am a pastor's wife and you are right about that we do have our own special challenges we must hold one another up in prayer... does your congregation know? and are you in ministry ( platform ) as well... being the wife of a pastor is a ministry in itself!

amen to that Fran! I thank God for even making this possible for me! (not banded yet I got to mp pych appointment next week

I am a believer! ( singing it like Mary Mary)

congrats... I will be so glad when I can say that

congrats to you both... I went to the seminar last week, and I go see the surgon & the psychiatrist on june 8 so hopfully I will get my by Aug.. I hope sooner though

I would go to the Dr

Hello everyone.. I'm fairly new here, I've been contemplating the band for 2 year, I went to the seminar 2 weeks ago, and they checked my insurance.. and i'm 90% covered my next step is my 1st appointment with my Dr. and the psychiatrist net week.. I' excited. Can anyone tell me how long does it usually take from the 1st appointment to the time they give you your surgery date?

aww, I am so sorry to hear that, just pray about it YOU KNOW why you are doing this, its not for vanity, its for your own good health so that you can be available for your kids and for him. I know you want support and encouragement.. thats probably one of the reasons you are on this site. However I believe that right now your husband NEED you to assure him that He is the only one for you, and that you will always love and respect Him, you are not changing for the worse but for the better. Tell him the only thing that will be getting dumped is the weight.
