  1. Not banded yet June 5th but i'm here if you need me!!
  2. Wow I can't believe that I am still hanging on strong with this liquid diet!! I am not giving into the enemy of food!! I am so ready for this June 5th Surgery!! Went to the Dr. yesterday for Medical Clearance and I lost 9 pounds already!! I am so focused and ready to be fierce!! Every time I want to eat I keep telling myself Nope God brought me this far I know he can take me all the way!!! I'm so focused so focused so focused and I am not turning back to the old me!!!
  3. Learn to ignore the negative energy you know some people where placed in our lives to be negative and discourage us!! She is completing her goal making you feel bad!! Learn to trust in God and ignore those who have no purpose in your life but to bring you down!! If they cant add positive to your life then delete them!!!! delete delete delete!!! I think you are doing a great job and look great and I dont even know you!!!!!!!
  4. It was as if I was suppose to see your message!! Listen God has your back no matter what but I think that its sad that you dont have your back! The Bible says that God will give you strength is you only believe the size of a muster seed but thats the problem you have no faith in you!! Stop blaming unemployment, graduation, a job, and others for your failures and learn to take responsibility for your self!! You can change your life or you can complain about your life if you dont like your situation then change it!! Just ask God for the strength and he will take you to the next level!! we all have challenges on this journey but the goal is to encourgae one another when we fall and help each other get back up. I will be here fro you in every way I can but the love and motivation needs to come from you!! Talk to God he will never leave you nor forsake you!! You are his Daughter now believe it!!! Love Sharon

  19. I am having the Lap band Plication Surgery on June 5th can anyone tell me the difference between the regular Lap Band and The Plication? Does it Hurt Worse and Is there More Weight Loss with one instead of the other?
  20. I just want to say a few words!! I am having my surgery on June 5th 2012 but I have started my weight loss before then and I am doing okay!! I looked in the mirror this morning and can't imagine how I am going to look after I loose all this weight!! I can't wait to to face all those people who called me fat cow, and ugly, and nasty names and I began to loose focus of my goals. I realized after watching this christian show that I must not loose focus!! I can't let pride get to me once I am looking and feeling great!! I just wanted to post this topic because everyone on the forum seems to be hard on themselves once they gained a little weight back!! Its not the weight you gained back but how you humble yourself when you loose the weight! Once you get the focus off yourself and loose pride yes I said loose pride then you will begin to see what this weight loss is really about!! Once the people encourage you and people say how good you look and once you have mastered the weight loss or try then you will begin to loose yourself don't!! For once second don't loose focus on this mission because if you dont humble yourself and see the good in you now then you wont see it once the weight is off!! Learn to say I look good now but once I loose this weight then God will give me the strength to do bigger and better things!!! Once you add the weight loss with the mind and know that with this better look and with the weight loss now God will give you the strength to master it!! But when your pride takes over and you begin to see the weight loss as a weapon then you will begin to get stuck and you might gain it back!! You might gain all the weight back and more or be so nasty that no one can stand the better smaller you!! Learn to humble yourself and see this journey as doing Gods work and begin to be a better person with the weight loss. I hope everyone gets my message and see that I am trying to get people to humble yourself so people can see who you are and loose the pride cause shame will find you and you will hate the person you become once the weight comes off!! Take the new look and the new you and never forget that God got you through this and now you can take this weight loss and better health to the next level because you let pride go and now you can humble yourself with the new you!! If you do you will begin to look better both inside and out!! And for the people who called me fat cow and for the husband who cheated and made me feel like crap daily, and for the people who made me feel bad because I was over weight and for all the guys who never wanted to date me because I was big and for all the people who made me feel ashamed because I loved food!! Don't worry because the new and improved humble me will soon come out and I will send all of you a thank you note for never letting me forget where I came from!!! i'm on my way and I plan to do all of Gods work with this new body and new mind!! Humble I will be!!! !!
