Mis,
Thank you for your kind words. Just a ball of emotions but I'm trying my best not to gain weight!! Lol as sad as that is. Just don't know how to start over. Re focusing on my weight loss may help me feel better and distract me but I just can't control myself right now. Not having any restriction does not help!

Donyedd we share a Bandie bday I was banded 7/3 and have only lost 11-13 lbs (fluctuates daily) at first I was really upset cuz I would step on the scale and it would go down and then go back up! It's like everyday is groundhogs day and I'm seeing the same numbers. But after reading thru the forum I realized that right now ISN'T about weightless, it's about healing!! (As hard as that is and As much as we love to see ourselves losing) in my eyes, my body is trying to regulate itself after going on pre op diet, surgery, and now post op diet. We will reach our goals in due time, we need to prep our little bands and bodies for the battle first! Keep your head up!

I was banded January 6, 2012. Since then I have lost 220 pounds. I have 41 to go.

Any suggestions on how to achieve the full feeling?? Or should I tough it out till I get my first fill (I go for follow up on the 17th) I wonder if he would give me a fill that early

Is my surgery date! Wish me luck guys!!!

LOL me and another girl at my job who are going thru the same surgeon have developed crushes as well!!! I'm not sure what it is?! Maybe it's that I feel so grateful towards him for saving my life??

Of course being handsome doesn't hurt either lol

Is my surgery date! Wish me luck guys!!!

I have not been banded yet. I am type 2 diabetes. I have done my research and seen the good, bad and ugly. I personally have a bad relationship with food. As just like every bad relationship, you can stay and KNOW what you are dealing with and what you will be dealing with for as long as u put up with it or you can take a chance and risk it for the biscuit. I refuse to live my life with fluctuating weight, torturing myself because I'm so frustrated by the scale. I am not living to my fullest right now anyway! I am a prisoner of my own body so why wouldn't I take my chances? I hope you choose the right decision for you, but I know many people on here who will encourage this decision. I see these role models everyday and they just remind me that it's very possible even for me.

Ksaug, that's what they told me also... I just hope I'm not in that small percent that takes forever! This app has been the greatest thing I've found... I've become addicted to it! Lol I've read so much and it's amazing how complete strangers can be so supportive! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your approval! If you'd like to keep in touch you could always send me a messege on here!

Lol tawnya!!! I cooked for my family earlier and was like man I will be so glad to mix my shakes and call it a wrap. I can only imagine, not to pre op diet yet but I'm sure I will see my highly emotional and unstable post once I'm off my main vice! Carbs!

I'm currently 24 and looked into this procedure when I was 20. I wish I would have done it sooner!!! Encourage her to really consider it! She has a role model and support system right in front of her!!!
