  1. Okay well for those of you who been keeping tabs on me know that Im keeping this a secret one cause ppl know i work out like crazy and my sudden weight loss will not be a surprize to them the will think wow she found the missing link!! But how ever Im in a long distance military relitonship, and Im hiding it from him untill totally neccassary. Like we get married and he needs to know medically. One for the fact that when we met I was super skinny and two he is a soldier so i hear him talk of his soldiers badly for getting out of shape!!!! He never gives me any reason to feel badly about my weight at all! He always said more to love but he knows how it bugs me... Any ways So my girlfriend in florida said her and her hubby were lying on the couch cuddling and he felt a knot on her waitst and freaked out like what is that!!! He knew of the surgery but he port poked out like knot!!! So WHERE IS THE BEST LEAST NOTICABLE PLACE TO HAVE IT ?????


  2. wow that was a good read, Im keeping it from every one at work except my cheif the supervisor and one co worker. For the fact we served in fort polk louisiana togeather and have that bond u know? Im also keeping it from my long distance boyfriend!! Im debating on where I can have the port placed now wher it isnt easily felt durring hanky panky!! Just say when you go back that you hired a personal train whome has really really watched your diet for a rapid start!! forget those ppl this is you and they will all forget when they see you shinning.. As for the man friend, I would feel very comfertable if we could schedule out date for this time era and we could conversate over the phone for a bit first??


  3. this was a great read, i was having doubts today due to some bad dreams. But i went to the gym today and ran 3 miles at a 4.0-3.5 pace fluctuating and im so in so much pain right now i miss the days i could run 6 miles no problem i cant wait to have those days back. Now when you say you only worked out 4 days a month are u for real or was that a typo??? What did u do on those four days and what exactly is a sweet spot???


  4. For the past 3 nights Ive been dreaming about this whole thing. Like this past time I dreamed that I was about to have it and I had to use the restroom then all of the sudden it took me forever to clean the toilet, there were tons of people crowding the waiting room. Like Im in line at a spa just making another order. So by the time im finally able to use the restroom an announcment comes over calling my name. So I say forget it i need this done, by the time i make it through the crowd Im in my room the doc has cancled me!!! Refuses to do it and reschedule.. Whats this all about? Ive been telling my self every time doubt comes across my mind that I do need this I need it really really bad, Ive bounced up and down up and down with my weight all my life I need a steady point now, I need my career now... Did any one have to keep convinving them selves to keep doing this? Or have weird dreams? I feel like I need to convince my self cause I slip back in to dream world of maybe just maybe Ill lose the weight on my own this time? I know i wont succeed on my own for sure even though i dropped 46 pounds on my own and maintained it a year now but i cant get passes this point grrrrrrrrrr


  5. good way to put it cause being obese is a pain like no other, its horrible to be 26 and uncomfetable with my body and sexually im not pleased cause imnot comfey that way I cant wait to start video blogging this step for step in youtube. Im keeping the eye on the prize for sure i promise.....keep in touch you guys


  6. I get bandded Jan 20th, and ive noticed ppl keep saying every time they get a fill they gotta start the liquid diet alll over again? I plan on being really aggressive with my weight loss untill i get below 190 pounds then from there i wanna do it slow and easie like 2 pounds a week.. But i also read that Ill never get to eat some of my comfert foods again is this true? I mean i gotta have some mac n cheese every once and a great while when come to think of it the last time i had it was like 5 months ago... what about some dessert here and there??? do i have to start the liquid diet all over again every fill? Also my friend that had this surgery done and awsome results she said it totally changed her eatting habits... like she dosent want junk food any more ect , ill take any insight peeps love to hear your thoughs


  7. wow i at first told my all my every day aquaintences, even the really huge ppl that you know have though about it also were judgmental and unapproving so I went as if I decided not to do it. Now Im keeping it a secret also... I dont want to be looked at like wow she was that fat she needed surgery how lazy and nasty is that.. People tick me off on how close minded they our, now ppl always knew me to always work out really hard so hopefully they think wow she found the button that clicks..


  8. :tt1::cool::tongue2:

    I just ate a whole pack of bertolli 10 minuet pasta meal in the bag. One bag serves 2 people and i ate the whole thing by my self with out any second guesses or thoughts. My stomach dont even feel full really slightly maybe but thats it.. I am totally embarrased to eat in front of ppl for this fact, any one agree? I cant wait to get bandded and actually eat like girl dose not a freaking foot ball player. You know the last time i met up with my man five months ago, we went to the maccaroni grill and he orderd a huge plate and u know the normal portions they serve are enough to last a bandded person a week. Well we spent the night at a hotel for 24 hours ( military we meet in the middle) And i just ate the meat of the pasta it was shrimp and chicken.. and went hungry the rest of them time and drank water to shut my stomach up... The next morning we ate at mc Donalds and he ordered two breakfest burritos and i lol the fruit and wal nut salad lol and after we parted and i stopped crying enough to relize my stomach was yelling obsenities i pulled over and got a value meal at mc donalds... My eatting is so embarrasing, any one feel me?????


  9. 1- Do people see dramatic results in your portions like to the point its freaky? Im scared that Ill go eat with some one and they think im annorexic lol?

    2- whats the average weight loss for the first month of being banded when you work out 4-5 days a week?

    3- can you balance your weight loss to a certain weight like i was really comfertable at 150- still had my hips and booty, ect I dont want to be stick thin I dont think so any ways?

    4- how you deal with the changing of clothes sizes? Just wear stuff till they fall off or buy an out firt or twoo to carry u through?

    5- how soon can you work out?

    6- how long it usually take for your incisions t totally heal?

    Sorry these are stupid questions but ive never had surgery before and I am to excited to be normal soon again.....


  10. 2008 has been a major turning pointe in my life, it all started in 2005. I left my husband at the age of wow I think 23! While he was in a range shooting practice. I couldnt take him no more he just tore me down and him flirting and gods only knows what else. I didnt have a proublem with im being a soldier, but i had proublems with him not comming home untill 11pm and not calling me once all day long. So I dont have kids and Im deffinatly miss indipendent. I get my own place and live as seperated for a year and 9 months untill he found out he got another pregnante and needed to marry to get the army to payfor it.. So I divorce in Sept of 06.. He remarried a week later, well needless to say Its been crazy and Ive learned what marriage is about even more. Durring this time i totally lost my self, my goals, dreams and ambitions but yet met the love of my life. Well after my divorce I decided that im 26 no kids and got a good head on my shoulders, ect... Its time to get back to whome I was before i got married and make up for lost time.. In this time I raised my credit 4 hundred some odd points. Completed a Ohio police academy and got hired Dept of Army Security and moved to Virginia just below DC.. Now that I got my careeer on track and getting my finances back in order as well talking to the love of my life again and we are getting back togeather again. The only thing out of place is my body image, im not comfertable in my own skin!!! I got all this stuff togeather except my weight that I gained durring my marriage of hell.. Ive lost around 40 some pounds on my own n the time passing but thats through the unhealthy ways and deffinatly need to lose around a hundred more!!!! I cant wait till turnning point of my life on Jan 20th 2009

    I need this to complete me!!!!!!!


  11. Congrads on your first fill, I get banded Jan 20th. My reasons for getting banded is one i want to live a healthy life before i have kids, two this weight is my main obstivle for becomming a police officer. Right now Im security also for the dept of the army.. How have things changed for you?


  12. :mad2::blush::wub::thumbup::eek:Well I was tryin again for the past two months to do this on my own.. But nothing I lost 8 pounds by starving my self and then I had 2 weeks on duty out of my area in new hampsier, I gained it all back!!!! I give up i need this done. I have my career and that one last step to my career dreams but the weight is the wall between us. I Have the love of my life back after two years apart and he knew me when i as at my smallest, I know we are going to marry one day and I want to look hella hot as we did when we first met!!! I need this done I need this done years ago so i don have to worry for this and that damn scale. BTW who said not weighing your self helps paleezze a day me not weighing my self lol wow ill fall back and not know it and totally depressed when i finally step back on the scales.... Ill be scheduling the surgery date tomarrow and Im taking the first day I get available, I have 3 days leave saved up So that should be good to go with work...


  13. OKay so im making up my surgery date tomarrow! Tonight im going to jot down all possible days i can make it happen, here is what dates are available right now November 5th, 18th, 19th,25 so that 25th works the best so far it falls on my tuesday and wensday off! and then I can use a leave day or two for that and make it four days off and so onn but i gotta see. cause ill proubably get swamped with over time due to the holidays and im the newbie.... hmmmmm I dont know what to think now shooot far...... any recomendations and remember that im new here been here 2 months exactly now.


  14. So Im sure you guys and gals can see that i go back and forth with this idea! Right? Well I tell you this, past weekend was retarded in portions and eatting and what not. I had a four day weekend and I didnt get to see my one true love 12 hours aways (both military, hes the soldier though) So i was board out of my mind, i ate sushi 3 rolls, a salad and miso soup. I had more the next day, and this morning omg I bought a box of freaking smore pop tarts not the normal box but the bigger ones, and i ate one pack on the way home, then 2 more just chilling then went to buy me a new lap top and cause it was morning, i saw mc donalds and got a steak egg and cheese bagle with the hash brown, not cause i was hungry cause i craved it!!! what the heck?? Now I know with this band it will stop me from over eatting like that for sure! Then by the end of the day guess what no more pop tarts!!!! RRRRRRRRRRRRR i hate my self for that crap! I do I do I doooo....... so i finally saw some scares of laproscopic surgeries one for gastric bypass one for lap banding. My friend in florida that had it done in April her scars look the worse cause she said something about her being italian and the what her blood dose to them?? Made them red and thick looking? Even her heart surgery scar is like that. Well any ways, on another note I talked to the schedule lady and there are a few days i can choose from. The surgeries are done on tuesdays and thursday, if not wensdays I forget. So this is the deal, I get one four day weekend a month Friday, sat, sun, monday. Then I get 2, two days tuesday and wensday's. Now Im armed security for the military on midnight shifts, i barely do anything except for when on post two where i gotta make a long round a 20-30 minuet walk basically 2 times that night, then a 5 minuet walk ever other hour. So my question is could I get this surgery on a two day weekend use one leave day and make it three and be mostly comfertable to do that minimal work? im proubaly going to do it on the wensday that way I can use leave for the thursday and have 5 days off.. I think thats going to work better. Now another thing is I can have it early Oct if I do the two days off or other wise i gotta wait till the end of the month for my four day. If any one can show some insight on this let me know..
