  2. My sister had a gastric bypass, lost a lot of weight and gain most of it back. Yes, there is no magical WLS, just have it and lose weight. Nope not gonna happen!
  3. I want to be able to go to a concert and not be so uncomfortable trying to keep all my fat in my own space. That would be nice!

  9. That is awesome, Congratulations! !! My surgery is 2wks from today. Can't wait to start my journey after banding. Please stick around and give us newbies advice and continued inspiration. Can you attach before/ after pictures?

What I would suggest is start utilizing some LB rules like- Eat on a smaller plate Take small bites Wait 1 min between bites Stop after 20 mins whether done or not Start with Protein first 15-20gr per meal Drink a lot of Water Continue exercising I'm not banded yet (Oct15) but I have adopted these into my life and have lost 34lbs. The only reason for going through with surgery is b/c I have a problem keeping it off.
  11. May the Lord bring you peace tonight and a quick recovery after surgery.May your journey be blessed with success!

  14. But laughter is the best medicine, even if it hurts! Really!!!!
  15. I also purchased baby spoons & a oyster fork to control my bite size, just til I get the hang of things.
