I am happy you burst that bubble and decided to do this. Many things it's an easy way out, but girl, you still do have to work hard at this. I truly thought.. Id get this band and it was gonna be magic! id only be able to eat about half a cup and be full.. oh hell ya! no.. it's not like that, at least not till you get to full restriction. Want it.. and want it like no other! It is such an awesome tool for sure! You'll do great! where ya where? and good luck to ya!! Ooh! and you having a high bmi might be enough to not have to do the pre diet as well, I didn't have to.

omg I love you! lol.. I was just asking my bf today if he knew what the "net carbs" mean. I use these wheat tortilla wraps and they have 5 net carbs yet they say 14 carbs in the back.. yes they included the fiber. I am so happy to know it doesn't effect the blood sugar levels! yay!!! and thanks much for the info! and Also girls.. those bars sound great! gonna check them out! Thanks!

Hun.. please please go see your doc! if he is to expensive maybe call around and see if there is a cheaper one. I just recently stopped working, so I asked mine how much out of pocket will be, she said 50.00 doc visit, 100 for an adjustment.. not to bad.. considering the health issues you are causing yourself. Let us know how everything goes..!! good luck hun!!

I've pretty much just began my journey.. almost 3months now really getting myself into gear.. I've dilly dallied long enough.

Amazing Titan! You sure do deserve it! It really isn't some magic thing, if you want to be successful with the band you better as hell work your ass! Keep doin whatcha doin!

I'm such a noob when it comes to fitness. lol.. good socks? I did see some with some air vent around them, they were nike. lol. I found a place called foot solutions, I'll call them tomorrow. Didn't realize how hard it is to find a good place around here! damn florida.

Thanks so much!! I'll check that out right now!

Ok.. Now I need to ask another question.. I went to sports authority and the "experts" there.. sucked and didn't offer me any real information other than my shoe size and that didn't even seem accurate. ><.. where did you all go to get fit? Thanks all for all your help.. means a lot!~

WOW!! thats aweeeesommmee!! Grats girl!!

awesome!! being happy with who you are is most important.. glad you are happy and feeling great! enjoy !

Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day! and extra rum ini a mohito sounds delish!!

I have a bit more ghas but not that much more! After surgery though it lasted for about a month then subsided. Eating a lot of veggies surely does contribute though!! lol.. I'll take the veggies!

ugh.. that must be so horrible. Let us know how you are feeling hun.. good luck!!

Agreed!! so inspirational you all are!

Welcome and Congrats on getting approved!! YAY! .. that is such an awesome step ! Best decision ever I have ever made. I've only been banded almost 3 months and things are going well. Ups and downs.. you have a road ahead and it really isn't as hard as you'd think and it gets easier. The hardest part is the emotional eating if you are one of those as many are.. me .. oh yes! Once I get past that, omg.. I am soo golden! Just remember you are worth it to be happy, to feel great and live longer! wishing you all the success! *Hugs*!

Muffins sound awesome! totally gonna try that

Thanks all of you!! and Crystal thanks for sharing your story!! OUCH! I definitely don't want that to happen! eep! My bf owes me shoes.. so I am gonna have him take me lol.! thanks a ton guy and gals! <3

Thanks for sharing that!! much needed!

I'm sorry about your dad.. prayers to you and your family. Also, glad to see ya back. Getting back into the swing of things can be a feat, but you can do it! start at the basics again. Good luck to ya

Hiyas all! This thing does wonders I tell ya! I love this.. keeps ya on track!! my name is destynee13 feel free to add! Good luck all!

Girl! I LOVE doing this!! It passes the time quickly and it doesn't feel like you're exercising in the sense of dread... just something fun! and it sure does make ya sweat! hehe have fun!

Loss is a loss and congrats for that!! there are many out there who go through the same thing. What gets me is the.. "testing the limits" .. hun, I can tell you this and have known some who do this with the sleeve, and bypass as well, testing the limits is defeating the purpose of your tool. If you test the limits, you are going to stretch your pouch, and then you really aren't going to feel restriction because every little test you do, stretches it just a little more. Use the tool you have, and stretch YOUR limit but eating less and less and see how you feel, how long it takes you to get hungry, and you will find that more fulfilling and exciting!!! I wish you to all the success!! And Chaz, glad to see you are getting to were you want to be. **hugs to you both**!

Welcome to the family! I can relate to a lot of what you had said, and I feel ya. Change is going to happen, strap on, and enjoy the ride!

Thats awesome Mr fun I to love veggies and I really thank god for that! I still love my steak, I do choose the leaner ones and smaller oz's. Asparagus, is my new best friend as of late. lol.
