You took a BIG step with stopping smoking. KUDOS to you..Take it one day at a time..this is s great site for motivation. If you need an accountability partner, I'm here..I head Lapland surgery in 2010. List the first year and started with complications....gained all of my weight back in 1 year..this time last year I had a hiatal hernia repair and band repositioned..I got down to 185 pounds. I started this journey at 248. I am currently 246.4...by God's grace I am scheduled for revision surgery to bypass on jan. 16th...it's been a long road but I'm not giving up...if you need to talk, vent, our need someone to be accountable to, let me know....Good luck!!! You will do great!!!

You look AMAZING!!!!!

I Would loved to be added to this great gesture...gonenatural2@gmail.com

It's so much easier, cheaper, and tastier to make your own shakes...

Thank you...we will definitely keep in touch..

Enjoy your weekend...I'm here doing all my preop things now..labs, ekg, chest xray...it's getting close!!!!!!

Hello there..I'm in Dallas/Plano. How is everything going?

WOOP!!! WOOP!!!! :-)

Looks like we will be at it together...Yes...my preop for the band was 2 weeks but I was able to eat 1 meal daily of a lean protein and green veggie..I didn't have prelabs, ekg and chest xray for the band either...I must say that my new surgeon is about more thorough than my previous surgeon who did the band...

One day at a time is all you can do...it will definitely pay off in the long run. What type of Protein are you all using?
