Hi Andy...

Im just over 2 months banded....and honestly I knew I wanted this surgery 10 yrs ago but had to wait till I had insurance....and since I have started this the 6 month diet and learning how to eat I have never regreated any of it...I also was worryed about ....never eatting as I was eatting but ...my Dr reminded me...eatting like I was ...is why I was morbidly obease !!! and because of that I couldnt enjoy life or my family like I do now...So many non scale victorys I see now...im not always worryed about if my butt hangs off the bleacher at a ball game...my bellie doesnt rub against the stearing wheel of the car....I dont have the kids getting things for me all the time....sounds crazy but I enjoy jumping up off the couch. I know its only going to get better....socially Im more out going and people respond to that...Good Luck...

Dee...

Congrats shelli...

Im so happy that everything went well for you and your on your way to a healthy life now !!!

So happy for you...the 6 months will go by fast I bet....mine did...

I believe carbs trigger me to want to eat also....

But i was so worryed about carbs I was staying away from them and over doing the protien...and I was getting so tired...and feeling hungry....guess its a fine line

Checking in at 190...a lb up from last week...

Laughing with the stress filled week I have had....im pretty hapy that Im only up a lb....

holy banana toffee..You lost 67lbs in 2 months!??????? Dayum!!!!!!!

dont i wish....laughing....that was with the 6 months pre diet that my insurance comp requested before surgery !!!!

I think we ere all feeling the emotions you are feeling now...You will do fine...God be with you...

hi angel...just want to say congrats on getting this fun....the best is yet to come Im sure you already know that too !

Larry checking in today at 189.6 and a big smile too !

Hi all....Mothers day is coming and I was thinking of asking my family for a juicer...how many of you use them...and are the worth the money...any brands better then others...thanks

So sorry you are feeling so stressed...but I to bet you are doing alot more worrying then you need to.

Yes fat people are judged and treated differantly by many...I look at that as it is their lost not mine I am the same girl I have always been just a lot happyier on the inside now...not just smiling to make people think Im happy...

God has plans for all of us....and remember if He takes you to it....He will take you through it...

does anyone like the dannon brand of greek yogurt. and you just eat the the greek yogurt for do you eat with something.

I LOVE thw Dannon brand of Greek Yougurt....the blueberry has become my staple food !!!

I am feeling a little discouraged. I had my first fill on 04/03 and got 4cc's. I dont feel any restriction and have not lost a pound. I can eat just about anything I want but I watch what I eat and count all intake. I don't know what to do!

I was where you are too....and I was so upset...but like everyone told me just wait it out....and the scale will start moving soon....try to focus on the nsv...my pants were all getting baggy on me and the scale was the same.....Its moving now !!! and yours will too !

greek yogurt ... low fat string cheese...and what ever fish is on sale...OOoo and lots of salad..

I like to walk while my sons are playing baseball at the park...so I listen to kids playing and the sounds of nature....

welcome Molly..

i to had my first fill on april 5th.. 6 ccs....i can still eat a large portion but im making sure its salads or some other good choice...i dont feel any restriction...though Easter dinner with ham i did get a horrable pain in my chest.I went to the bathroom and hung out till it passed....but for the most part...i can eat anything still. Good Luck...and ~hug~

yea for me...good food choices today...came in from church and out of habit I grabbed a box of crackers from the pantry.Then i was like...woooo and put it back ,grabbed a cheese stick !

congrats on getting banded,,,,,hello to the healthy life !

Happy Easter everyone....192 this morning !

hello....I too worried lots just before surgery....but all for nothing...i stayed in the hospital one night and at home had maybe 3 days of being uncomfy....but that was all....had my first fill this week and feeling better then I have in 15 years !!! Good Luck
