  1. I tried Sensa 4 mos ago but got expensive and gained twice the weight back! Not worth it! You won't need it with the band!
  2. You girls that are adding Biotin, don't forget must be liquid or crushables!
  3. I was always 118 pounds until I got married. But I know It will be again in Jesus name! I have always felt like I was a skinny girl on a fat body. I will do it and so will you and the others! Remember us in your pre-op prayers, I will! Countdown! 44 hours 32 mins! Finally
  4. I am 55 and get banded 12/14, but my skin is youthful and resilient. We can be older but get good results!
  5. Best decision ever! It's time we thought of ourselves! Congrats!
  6. The first three days is caffeine, carb, and sugar withdrawal! I had throbbing headaches for three days! But if I did you can do it too!
  7. Overnight but im a baby! Im hoping my doc gives me pain meds. Nurse told me he only does tylenol!
  8. Use hydrocortisone cream around the area, you may have a reaction to the tape but make sure not to touch the incision!!!!
  9. I will have both done Friday, only one surgeon! Its common!
  10. I'm getting banded this Friday and after my children, Its the best decision I have ever made!
  11. You can eat whatever you want, but what's the sense in getting banded to change your life and lose the weight knowing that your doctor and nutritionist don't want you to do these things because they are not good for you! Too many carbs and calories you really don't need! I read about so many girls that are depressed and quit cause they don't see results! But you know what, they don't stick to the rules! Changing your life and the habits that got us to where we are now require a lifetime commitment! Please stay on track! Do it for yourself!
  12. I am! I'm Friday too! Lost 13 lbs pre-op! Very nervous and anxious!
  13. Congratulations, tou look beautiful!
  14. Congratulations! You made it!
  15. I have a funny story to tell you guys today. I will be banded this Friday and I have been doing really well on the liquid diet. The last time I weighed myself before today was the day before yesterday when I weighed. 281. Last night I cooked a Cuban traditional meal for my family , and I thought I wouldn't have any issues. Boy was I wrong! I almost cheated! Imagine, white rice, black beans and spicy pulled pork! Who can turn that down? But, I am proud to say I didn't cheat and this morning when I weighed myself I'm 277 lbs. i have lost 13 lbs. in 12 days, which is not bad at all!!!
  16. You know what? I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I also believe that god is in control of everything. If he cheated, he doesn't love you as you do him, and If he left you now, what more proof do you need? It's your time to shine! Forget him and don't bother! Use this time to work on yourself! You deserve better and God's plans for us are bigger than we could ever imagine. Let go and let God deal with him! We are here for you! My surgery is this Friday and I told my family I don't want them there to see the worst of me. That's what the nurses are there for! If you have to, take a taxi home, show him you don't need him! Cheer up and don't stop now! The best is yet to come!
  17. That wolf just be a few drops!
