I paint my nails. It's weird but it stops me from eating when I'm just bored.

What an inspiration. You look fabulous!

Thanks everyone. I've lost weight before and I had a bit of loose skin from where I was pregnant and my skin stretched and I'm afraid this time it's going to be way worse partly because I'm bigger and bad genes. But thanks for everyone's opinion.

I was just wondering if anyone prepped your skin for weight loss. I want to do something to prevent too much loose skin but not sure what.

This thread is hilarious! Y'all have awesome attitudes and sense of humors I love it! And yup gassy here too

Congrats!!!!

For me the gas isn't painful just so uncomfortable but yeah been trying to walk but I sure do love being pampered which is really why I haven't gotten up. Lol.

Yes they prescribed me Vicodin as well and it's working fine for me. You should definitely ask your dr to switch everyone reacts different to meds differently and plus you need to be comfortable. Are you having the gas pains?

You look sooooo good! Can't wait for my before and after photos! Congrats!

Oops meant focus on company

B52 as one of those newbies your story is inspirational to me. Sounds like your not missing out on anything and still being able to enjoy a dinner out is awesome. That was one of my fears: "what am I going to do when we go out to eat?" And now I know I can have my healthy meal and not focus on company and not stuff my face like I always do. Thanks!

Awesome!!!

Got banded today as well! Feeling super bloated I hate it but with little pain so far so can't complain. But overall I feel great. Can't wait to start working on the new me!

I was on my 2 week liquid diet (through the holidays I must add) when I was on my last day the Dr office called and said the ins denied me. After suffering missing Christmas dinner and Christmas parties I had to jump through red tape with the ins and do it all over again. Well I finally got the call yesterday I was approved and scheduled for next fri. Jan 18th. I understand about the frustration though but I guess we all have obstacles to overcome. Good luck to you.
