** Plus the fact that your only 18 means your body will bounce back and you will look amazing! #jealous

Good luck with your journey, I myself am a mother of two (9&2) and I can't run around with the two year old like I used to with the nine year old! I commend you for taking the steps needed in order to give yourself and your family a better longer healthier life!

I decided to try Unjury because I'm lactose intolerant. It contains whey protein isolate. It was a huge plus that it tastes good! I don't start my pre-op diet until next month. However, I tried it yesterday. I wanted to make sure I liked it before ordering more. I really didn't expect it to taste good.

@ATX_Veg I'm so excited to try on bathing suits and dresses Lord knows I have avoided those for way too long!

This is great.. Can't wait till I join the Feb13 BandWaggon... will find out my tenative date on Monday!!
Pros about getting a Feb Band that I keep telling myself to get through the pre-op appointment phase
1. You bypass the holidays
2. Its winter and cold so by the time your able to work out it again it should hopefully feel like Spring
3. && by the time its summer you will be looking GREAT!!
Good Luck Everyone!!

Well I think I've just had the most mind blowing NSV yet (and I've had a lot of them!)
When I started this journey a year ago, I wore a size 46. I had to special order all my clothes online because I couldn't find clothes big enough to fit me in stores, not even the plus size stores. I gave up wearing blue jeans decades ago.
Today, for the first time in 20 years, I am wearing size 18 jeans.
I SO love my band!!!
(below is my happy dance!)

@kvr1977 good for you for not giving up!! You will have an amazing reward for your patience & determination!! Good Luck to all of you Feb13 Bandisters!!

Hi everyone!! I was originally a may 2012 hopeful, then got denied, then was an October hopeful then got denied again . I was approved after 2 appeals and went thru 3 of the 4-month nutrition classes. I did it!!! I'm so happy and I am officially scheduled for Feb 21st after 12 months of nutrition visits and doc appts. I wanted to give up several times but pushed thru and didn't give Aetna the satisfaction of winning. So that's my story and I'm happy to have a home in this feb bandsters group. Lets shed those pounds!!!!!

I just wrote a quote on my Facebook that said..."A good goal should SCARE you a little and EXCITE you alot." This is my mantra for my surgery that is scheduled for Feb 7th!! Good luck!

This is great.. Can't wait till I join the Feb13 BandWaggon... will find out my tenative date on Monday!!

Those are great goals its the little things to others that we will be the most proud of! Don't forget to reward yourself for small goals I chose a new coach bag for the first 20-30 and clothes at about 50lbs!

I just want to be able to sit in a car without feeling BIG, sitting in an airplane without having to pull the buckle to the max! Oooooh, and ya just feeeeeling awesome about ME and what I'm wearing!
Good luck my dear!

I want to be able to walk for hours long without pain. I miss those days where I was able to walk from one length of the Jersey Shore boardwalk and back with no problem. I want to be able to go back down to Disney World and walk, instead of using the scooter. I want to be able to ride a bicycle, or maybe roller skate.
So many things I look forward to doing again, Its mostly physical activities that will be challenging, but the end reward will be to actually accomplish these simple tasks that we take for granted every day, that is what I mostly look forward to....

This is a terrific question and reminds me to make a list of everything I can't do now that I WILL do as my weight goes down. I think first on my list would be more travel...I've ceased to travel as much because my energy level is so low and I can't just sightsee and walk all day long as I used to be able to do. So more trips, and more participating in life in general. My weight has gradually caused me to isolate myself and I'm finding my life just revolved around three poles right now: home, work and food. I'm am SO looking forward to that changing, and being much more social.

Awesome plans I to am planning a Fall cruise in Sept or Oct I can't wait to be on a beach in a swim suit!!

I am a fellow FEP BCBS member hoping to receive a quick and painless approval. I have completed PSYCH eval and all but one Nut visit which is coming up next week then I finally meet the surgeon on 1/21/13. I would love to be banded in Feb!! Good Luck to everyone!!

I liked p90x but didnt have the time for the dvds each day. Insanity was a better fit for me no eqipment needed shorter work out time in the beginning.
