Hello Maureen,

Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. I did have Weiner. I didn't get a "clear cut" liquid diet. I just did clear liquids to the best of my abilities. So, how are you doing? How much have you lost? I've lost about 50+ lbs. I'm stuck. I need a fill. I'm going on the 25th. Can't wait.

Hello,

I hope your wedding day was most memorable but most of all I hope your marriage is everlasting! I pray that you have much success in this area as many give up too easily! Perservere and press toward the mark of the prize of the High Calling! Post some pics!

Hey Dawn,

Just checking on you to see how things are going for you. Send out an update! I'm sure you're doing well.

Hey Shonette,

Just wanted to wish you many blessings and a great weekend! Hope your adjustment to your fill continues to bring you success!

Hey, How are things going for you? I've been out of touch for a while now. Are you still in Schweinfurt? Still here in Wiesbaden. I won't see Weiner again until August which is 1 year out for me. I'm down 70lbs today. Not easy but I'm progressing. Update me.

Take Care

Hey,

I was just banded on Friday, 29 Aug. I am soooooo happy I did this. I contemplated for over a year and wish I had mad my decision last year. I'm already down 20 pounds from the liquid diet stage through surgery to 3 days post op. I have 3 more weeks of liquids and then the true test is on but I know God above is able to guide me and keep me. I wish you many blessings in your journey. Don't back out or quit. You are beautiful and I know you will only be more beautiful as you take this journey.

Stay positive,

Meek

Hey,

Just checking in and wanted to see how you're doing! Shoot me an update!

Hi Greenlady,

I'm sorry you are down. :-( We all get down sometimes. So, don't beat yourself up. Rest assured that we all have days where we are delighted we have this band and other days where we hate it with a passion! So, you are normal. Look at a few things first. You are female and over 50. Two strikes against you. We have to work harder even with the band, gastri...

Hi Tee,

We're about the same age and I wanted to see if I could offer you some advice from someone who has fallen off track as well. I've had a small setback and gained 20 pounds. I'm back on track now but the weight is moving slow! Give me some more details of your journey and I'll see if I can help!

Hi,

I pray you guys have a successful journey with your bands. I'm a worship leader at my church. I love to sing unto the Lord. (Not that great of a singer but...) I wanted to encourage you all to do this for it is life changing. It's hard work but life changing!

After reading your post, you are right. It takes all day for an appointment and you don't see Weiner again unless there are problems. I'm 2 and a half years out now. I've lost 116 lbs and loving life. I'm in K-Town all the time. Maybe we can meet soon. Take care and be blessed.

Are you still in Kaiserslautern? I'm in Wiesbaden. Did you get your band yet? I would love to stay in touch!

Cont. Also, you are only a year out and 40 pounds is GREAT! Now, start over. Go back to the beginning. Shock your body & do 2-3 days of protein shakes. That will take the 5 llbs off right away. Then start exercising if you're not already. Walk briskly. Are you drinking your water (very imp)? Eat more protein. I add protein powder to my yogurt. I do lots of diff stuff. No sweets/junk.

Headed to the gym to burn some serious calories! Getting ready for a relaxing and refreshing weekend. I had weightloss this week so I'm all smiles! Have a great weekend bandsters!

Hey Dear, Hope all is well for you. I am doing well. I'm stuck right now. I gained a bit but I've got that under control now. I haven't gained any more but have lost either. I'm pushing to get to my goal! I do realize that it takes time! I keep telling mysel this. You keep fighting the good fight! Don't lose hope. I pray for you blessings and weight loss and that you reach your goal.

Hey Greenlady, How are you? Get your fill? Hope so. Give me an update. Hope you've started drinking more water! I'm stalled right now but encouraged. I'm starting a new bootcamp at the gym and I know this will help me get past my plateau. I have 50 more pounds to go. Take care.

Hey Maureen, Are you still in Germany? I'm still in Wiesbaden. I'm down 116 pounds now. How are things going for you?

Hey, I'm an army wife, too (well, now retired). Just wanted to see how things are going for you on your journey! All the best to you!

Hi, I see that you're from SC as well. I'm from all the way across the state. How are yu and where are you in your journey. Just want to give you some encouragement and see how you're doing. Have a great one!

Hi, Thanks for the add. You are truly beautiful. When did you have your surgery?

Hope you are successful on your journey! Remember, it is just that, a journey not a race!

How are you coming along. Are you ready for your big day?

How is it going since your fill? I'm down 65 lbs now. Feel great but I'm almost to my max on restriction. I just want to continue losing. I have a lot more to lose. Best wishes to you.

How you doing girl? Just checking in to give you some encouraging words! Hope all is well. Remember slow and steady leads to victory! Keep taking steps forward and you will see more results!

I have lost 65 lbs. Of course, I'm wanting to lose more each day. I'm filled almost to the max. I don't think I can take anymore of a fill. It would be too tight. So, I've got to continue to execise and eat right. How did your tummy tuck heal? Is your tummy flat? Can't wait until I get mine.
