Jammin & Losin

Jack I see you have graduated nicely a whole 23 pounds! Wow

Just kidding Greg I'm sure you did lots of research ... and first hand knowledge on this issue!!

I was wondering what the difference in the sizes of the bands are? I saw ladiebird has 10cc band and katie and you said your was 11cc band. How many sizes are there?

Greg Did you do these" SCIENTIFIC FINDS YOURSELF " just so you could talk your wife into giving you some? HaHa!!!

You are doing great 10 pounds is something to be proud of! Your well on your way to getting healthy.

glad your doing so well. Come back often and tell us more about yourself. You got lots of new friends and good support here!!!

well it sounds like your night wasn't very pleasent. I hope you are doing better now and that everything is okay.

Keep up the good work. You'll do great!!!!

Hey Tammy it is so wonderful just to know they will cover it. I wish you lots of luck.

You know I think it took me a really long time to get to this point myself and I still feel the denial now and then.I never thought of myself as a compulsive eater.I always made excuses about my eating. I hide when I ate. I think that made me feel like it was unknown to the rest of the world ...and all I was doing was hiding from the reality that I had a problem with eating. I would talk about being on a diet during the day eating salads and healthy food and as soon as I got home from school or work I would eat junk to get rid of the cravings.. I guess it was more like a binge most of the time.Or I would take it to extreme the other way and not eat for days, I guess this was like a punishment to my self for the guilt I felt. I would think food is your enemy and you can't eat anything(all or none... I guess). I really hope my band will give me the reminder that I should eat to live... not live to eat ....

I have lots of inspirations I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful 5 year old daughter and a family who loves me and last... but not least... I want to get banded for my health and for my self. My scanner isn't working right now so I can't post pictures but I will get some pictures of myself and my family as soon has I can. !! I also want to say that you guys are a real inspiration to me also. Your stories bring tears to my eyes and a smile to my face and knowledge to my brain. I know you all are always here to talk to and that is so important to me. You all are changing lives daily with your kind words and wisdom THANK YOU!!!

Good for you and good luck! I know you will do wonderful !

Hey you guys I eat those Zone bars and they really are good. I don't have my band yet and I've been wondering if those would still be something I could eat after surgery.They do have alot of protein and they are suppose to be like eating a balanced meal with some fat/ carbs/ protein/and they are a good source of vitamins. Thanks I 'll keep eating the Zone bars.

You have done so well. I wish you continued success!!!!!
