Hahaha...thanks! You can do it...it's hard work but sooooooo very worth it! Best of luck to you!

Hey there BooBoo...it's been a long time...thought I would stop by and say hello and see how you're doing. I'm doing great...got my final divorce hearing next week and can't wait. Hope to hear from ya soon.

Thank you very much for the compliment. I gotta tell ya...it's been a lot of hard work but it is most definitely worth it. I am just shy of my 3 year bandiversary and my life has changed so much because of it. I love my band and my new life.

Hey there...I'm so glad that you are doing so well...I have slipped a little but it also started after a new medication so I have stopped that and I'm going for a fill today...I will NEVER go back anywhere near where I was before...my new life ROCKS! I'm going to go on a cruise in April so I gotta get a nice looking bathing suit body...lol. Keep up the good work...I am soooooo proud of you!

I did have loose skin but I had PS in April and had it removed...had a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation.

How have you been? I've been hanging in there...can't wait until I get the thumbs up to exercise again...all I'm allowed to do right now is walk and it's getting pretty old.

If I don't up my fundraising efforts and get some donations, I won't be doing the 3day walk. I have to raise $2,300 or I can't walk...I have only raised $175...however, 3 of my 4 donations have come from lovely people on this board...everyone (well, almost everyone) here is so awesome.

Well...I hope you're doing well...talk to ya soon.

Haha...maybe you should bet on the Redskins...you never know what may happen this year...keep up the good work...you really do look great!

You look so damn good. You should be very proud of yourself! It feels great, doesn't it? BTW...we have the same birthday...just a different year (lol).

Hi there...oh...what a journey it has been. There were many times that I felt frustrated and just wanted to give up but even before I had my surgery I made up my mind that enough was enough...it really is a mind game...once you make up your mind that you're gonna make it work...you will do it. If you have a bad or off day, pick yourself up and start over...nobody is perfect and slipping up every once in a while is human. Good luck to you...don't hesitate to reach out to me at any time...I will try my best to encourage you!

Thanks so much. I cannot tell you how much my life has changed, for the better, following the weight loss and now the plastic surgery. My only regret is that I did not lose the weight sooner. You can do it...if I can...anyone can

Hey there...I have been doing wonderfully. I have been really keeping busy...doing a couple of road trips and just enjoying myself. I'm still having to get fluid drained from my back following the PS but it will eventually stop and I'll be all good. I can't wait to get the green light to start exercising again. I'm going to register for the 3-day walk again this year. I had so much fun last year walking those 60 miles I wanna do it again. How are you doing?

Hey gal...do me a favor and delete the message from that idiot mymy...it's just unnecessary and uncalled for...she needs therapy.

Hey Speed...so...surgery went well and I'm rocking and rolling right through recovery. I posted some current pics on my thread "Betrayal is a Bitch" under Rants and Raves...you'll have to check them out.

How was your port revision?

Oh no...I hope that everything goes well for you. I'll be thinking about you today while you're at the hospital. Let me know how things go.

Right now I seem to be having some sort of allergic reaction to something and I'm freaking out about it. I have a rash all over my arms and my legs and they are itching like crazy. I can't take anything until I call the surgeon's office to see what I can and can't take. You know how it is prior to surgery...ONLY TYLENOL products. So...that's where I stand right now.

Best of luck to you today...take care and let me know how you're doing.

Hey you...how's it going? Only seven days now until my surgery. Got a call from the hospital this afternoon to go over my health history and get me all ready to go. Went to the lab to have my blood drawn and now all is ready to go. I can't believe it. I have been waiting so long for such a change in my life and it's almost here. I can't imagine feeling any better about myself...is that even possible...despite the fact that my husband tried to completely ruin my self esteem...there was no dragging me down!!! I can't believe how much I have changed over the last year. Who am I? Lol

So...how are you doing?

Oh my goodness...that would scare me to death. I have been pbing a bit lately. In the last two years I have only done it about 6 times but I did it twice in the last week..kinda weird. I hope that nothing is wrong. So...you still think that it's twisted? I wonder how that happened.

I'm fighting a pretty bad cold right now and I hope that it goes away pretty quickly. I have to get it checked out because I think I have a sinus infection or something and I know that you can't have any surgery when you're sick.

Well...I hope that you are doing well and that you don't have any major problems with your tube. Let me know how things are going.

Hey there...I am actually doing great. It's tough on me to see my husband have such a hard time but to be honest with you...I haven't been this happy in a very, very long time. I'm loving life...I have a new love for myself and I'm taking care of me and my kids. The only thing bothering me right now is that I'm scared to death of my upcoming surgery. It is in 3 weeks from today and I'm horrified. I go next week to pay for it and to get "marked up" to see what they are going to remove. The recovery is scaring me to death. Other than that...I couldn't be any better. How are you doing?

Well...tomorrow is the big day...he's freaking out and he's stressing me big time. I have a terrible headache...I can't even imagine how tomorrow is going to be. Me and the boys are going to go to my brothers house and hang out with him and my sister-in-law while he's moving out. I need to get up and go for a walk but it's cold outside...uuuggghhhhh

Good for you!!! I think that I found those 10 pounds that you lost...lol...I have been eating like a cow...I'm sure it's stress related and hopefully it will end soon. I'm doing alright...I told the kids this past weekend that daddy was moving out. Their response was "okay". I cried and my husband cried but I knew that I would get emotional. He's suppose to be moving out this weekend but he's having a hard time finding friends to help him move. Next weekend is my sons birthday party so that will be a little weird but I'll get through it. Anyway...all in all I think I'm doing alright.

Hey there...how's it going?

Well, good for her...you seem like a good guy though...I don't think that you would do anything to harm your marriage like my shit bag for a husband did. BTW...an update...we are sitting down this Saturday to discuss the "formal" separation. He can move into the new place after the first of the month. Reality is truly about to hit me. I'm happy, scared, terrified...you name it.

Thanks! My chin is up for now...let's see how long I can keep it that way:)

Thanks so much. I truly appreciate it. I am a product of divorced parents. I was only 2 when my father left my mother for another woman...she had no job and we had no house. She struggled like crazy but she did it. I now have a relationship with my father...it's more of a friend relationship instead of father/daughter but I have a wonderful step father who has always been there for me. My husband has become a wonderful person in this last 10 months of counseling however I just cannot get past everything that was done.

My brother's first wife also cheated on him. I don't know what it is about my family, apparently we have signs on our forehead to cheat on us. I never thought I would be dealing with this with my husband. His parents have been married for 44 years... strict Catholic...you name it. Somewhere my husband lost all of his morals and did some terrible damage to the marriage that in my eyes cannot be repaired.

I'm hanging in there. My husband has found a place to live, now it's just a matter of time for when he actually makes the move. I, on the other hand, really need to settle down. I am going out WAY too much. I sat down yesterday and figured out our budget and I think we'll be alright. The entire process of separation and possibly divorce is just draining, thinking about it.

My loan was direct deposited into my bank account yesterday. I borrowed from my retirement for my plastic surgery. It seems all too real now. I'll be in the OR in 8 weeks from yesterday. YIKES.

My mother still is not talking to me but that's alright...I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. My kids are doing great but I don't think they know what is ahead but I still think that they will be alright.

So...how are you doing?

Thanks Larry...I'm doing alright...hanging in there...loving my life "band" life. Good luck to you with your weight journey...
