banded3-14-13

Gosh thank you!!! What an ego boost!!! Yes, I was banded 3/14...and I was totally sucking it in!!!

That's awesome!!!! Congrats!

Thank you!!! That is very sweet of you to say! When were you banded?

My goal weight would be about 130-135

Yes....3/14/13...I was 187 when I was banded...I am down to 160 as of today! But, I am working really really really hard. I go to a trainer 2 times a week, try to do cardio for an hour 3 times a week, and try my best to eat healthy...I have cut back on wine, my favorite...and just try to stay away from junk. My BMI was 31 when I got banded....not very high I know...I did it with my mom and we went to Mexico. I am very happy that I did it....despite the hurdles along the way...my mom has also lost 20 pounds :-)

Sorry for the yucky pic...need to wash my bathroom mirror!!! Do u see the lump right under my rib?

Where my port is, it is clearly protruding outside of my stomach like a lump...anyone else?

I just had an episode I forget what u call it those 2 letters....where u gag and puke up saliva and stuff :-(

But why the pain in my shoulder I don't understand??? Is it okay to take Advil?

Wow I am in horrendous pain. Whenever I eat too much it feels like someone is taking a butcher knife in my left shoulder blade and just twisting it...what do I do to make it stop?!

Immediately after eating a tablespoon of hummus i felt the urge to vomit but didn't then I burped a few times what does that mean?

Thank you!!!

I'm too afraid to post my picture in fear that I will be recognized by someone I know...not sure how I feel about that.
