Goal is possible. I am 14.5 lbs away from goal. I am down a total of 131 lbs.....in two years (friday is my 2 year bandanniversary). I am hoping the 14.5 lbs will come off before the end of october ..If you follow the rules and work out regularly you can make it no problem.

I have 12 lbs to go before i hit 199

Thanks hun , Congrads on making in TWO years though..I hit my two years out 8/8 I am currently 123.5 lbs down..

I am going to be 24 08/08..I was banded 08/10/05 2 days after my 22nd birthday

Thanks Misscarol for your kind words..I really need them ..Ive been doing ok otherwise..Starting to loose weight again..think i was stuck on a plateau for a while..Also booked a vacation for my 21st b-day..Going to lake george again With myself, my cousin danny, and maybe a guy friend..

are you exercising? I was doing 6 days a week of cardio and weights, and i was stuck @ the same weight, My doctor told me to stop doing weights so much and focus on cardio (do weights only 1-2 times a week) and ive lost 2 1/2 lbs in the last two days...

Just wanted to let you know i am thinking about you..My grandpa had 4 bypass surgerys. My grandma 2 heart valve transplants..So i know how emotional everything is..(((hugs))))

I experience Jealousy all the time, From my friends, My family, My sister (me and her had the lap-band the same day)..I have followed program and am down 118.5..She is down about 60lbs and is starting to gain..My mom also is very jealous..She has gained alot of weight over the last few years (quit smoking) and gives me an attitude all the time, Most of my friends are very supportive and so is most of the rest of my family but there are those times where they do make those "stupid" comments.. "taking the easy way out" "your obsessed wloosing weight" " Gymaholic" etc..I try not to let it bother me. I am working on a new inproved me..If they can't deal with it..There is the door...Dont let it hit them on the way out

hey everyone..Hope all is doing well..I have been ok i guess. Went to lake george memorial day weekend. I went out with guy last night his name was seth..he is pretty cute and we had fun..he already asked me out on another date.. I still depressed about my ex ..I know it takes time but i want to go out and have fun not think about him cause lord knows he ain't thinking about me..Ugh...Well gotta go back to work..Have a good afternoon

Hey everyone

First of all congrads on making onederland!!!! I haven't seen onederland since i was in elementary school (seriously) I only have 17.5 lbs til i get there myself and i cannot wait!!!!!!!!

Denise,

I have insecurity issues too..I just bought a couple books, One about self esteem and the other on self confidence..Have you tried counseling? I am going to try to read the books and if that doesn't help then im gonna try counseling (i think)..

~Kristen

I love the chocpeanut butter Protein Bar from special k..Its awesome..Tastes just like a candy bar lol

I would love to go..I voted for Las vegas or orlando..Haven't been to either one and now that i am thinner i would LOVE to ride the rides @ disney lol

Hi tink..

Dr kwon was my doctor, I was banded 8/10/05 and am down 114.5 lbs ..You might find all of us on the NY page..He is by far the best doctor in the whole wide world and i wouldnt change anything so far..

If you need anything or have any questions message me

~Kristen

I can also show you before and during pictures if you want..

I have an ad on Yahoo and match but honestly i am just not in the mood to date right now ..I pretty much give up right now. I am thinking about just taking time for myself the next few months. I just started regularlly exercising and weight training..I also bought a few books about self esteemself confidence because obviously being heavy my entire life hasn't help in either of these departments..I have a few guys ive been chatting with but im just not in the mood. I guess i should learn to love me before i can love someone else. I do love myself..There is just certain aspects (weight, Skin issues)..That i don't..Ugh..

~Kristen

Hey !!!!

Congrads on getting banded..All those emotions are normal!!!!..I had a million and one different emotions running through my body that i couldn't stand it! Its well worth it with a little time and effort..and exercise!

Best wishes to a safe and speedy recovery
