After going to 6 stores I bought a sweater from kohls and back to lane Bryant for the blingy top! They gave me a coupon for 25 percent off!

Omygosh!! I am so looking forward to the day that I enjoy clothes shopping!! I am going out with the hubby tonight so I went to Lane Bryant found a cute sequin top and a sweater. I fell in love..I looked at the price and to get both it would cost me $150.00 are you effin kidding me!!!! So then off to kohls..all things plus looks like its for someones grandma! Then off to ashley stewart..cheaper prices definitely lower grade material..found some cute things..go to the dressing room and everything looks stretched out and boxy! Ugghhh!! Now off to dress barn woamn..all for a shirt! Wish me luck!

Oh the visit with the doctor was very pleasant. He just asked about my history of weight issues and if I understood that it is life changing and that if I ever needed him I could come back....ummm NO. I told him that there are support groups which I highly intend to use. Got my letter and they didn't commit me.

Ummm that's not what my issue was..I was surrounded by severely...mentally handicapped people. It was like one flew over the coookooos nest..it started to break my heart. I just prayed for them and for me to get the hell outta there.

This is really starting to creep me out..I think I chose the wrong place for my pre op appointment...oh gosh

Wow! So my insurance requires that I do a pre op visit with a therapist..I am a little creeped out by this place..I am glad to see some of these people here getting help...just filling out my paperwork made me feel a little nuts by the questions on it. I think I chose the wrong doc...lol

Thanks I will. I am telling a select few also. I lost 50 pounds last year with diet and exercise and was down to a size 12! I gained it all back once again! A guy at work asked me if I was pregnant!! I am so tired of the yo yo coaster..I start to think people enjoy my failure of not keeping the weight off.

Hi all! I am getting banded Nov 9th..eventhough I know that everyones experience is different would you mind sharing with me how much you lost the first month after surgery? I see there are a lof of negative posts on the site..I love hearing positive stories..they motivate me!

Thanks!

Hi all! I get banded 11/9..I love hearing success stories. Do you mind sharing yours? Start weight and date and end weight and date? I read so many negative things on the board..I like hearing the good stuff!! It is very motivating!

11/9/11! It can't get here fast enough. I have been gaining instead of losing..I need to get my mind right!

looking forward to losing this fat apron...

looking forward to shopping in the mall with my skinny sister and not standing around the skinny chick stores just watching and wishing

looking forward to not wearing a business suit as a bathing suit...i swear they put so much material on those tankinis theres enough for a job interview!

I am only at the beginning and have a lone way to go but I wonder what you are looking forward to most

My list is

To shop in a normal store (not to have to go in the back behind the ties or the "specialty" store- yuck)

To cross my legs comfortably

To sit in the middle seat on the subway without getting the horrified look from the others

Hi All,

This is the first time that i am writing on the boards. I am a happily married mother of 3 girls and i have battled my weight up and down my whole life. I lost 50 pounds by diet and exercising and quickly gained it back....so i am 3 pounds away from my all time highest. I dont get banded until 11/9/11 and it seems so far away! I am so tired of the fat rollercoaster and just want to get off the dang ride! Would you believe that a man i work with had the gaul to say "Hey are you Preggo"?? in front of someone else. I poliely said no....he then goes on to say "REALLY" he was one of the people who told me how great i looked when i lost the 50 pounds! i said yes i am sure...i am just FAT! i didnt know what else to say to that honestly. I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired. My doc does not give a pre op diet...after the pregnancy remark i think i will start one! How is everyone doing?
