  1. Happy 32nd Birthday hollygurl!

  2. no i dont exercise. I need to. I am struggling though with wanting to run away and be with this guy in NY. I moved to NY to be with him 5 months ago and stayed there 3 months and now I am feeling like going back. I dont know if it has anything to do with the weight loss but I have these crazy feelings alot that I try to fight. I get scared of being trapped and start doubting my relationship with my fiance. (of 6 years) he loves me sooo much and has sacrificed alot for me. But i still get these crazy feelings. I am going thru a hard time right now...

  3. Def. will take your advice! :) Yeah eating slow and chewing will be my downfall lol because before I use to eat sooooooo fast. I was 349 right before the surgery so around the same weight. :) I can't even picture myself 100 lbs lighter! I'm so excited :) Do you exercise regularly or at all? I'm 21.

  4. Aww thanks. My surgery was May 9th 2008. It will change your life! The biggest advice I can give you is to stay humble and not change just cause you loose weight. Its hard cause you get alot more attention and stuff like that but it actually made me mad in a way cause i want people to like me for me not just cause i lost a bunch of weight. I try to only eat now when im hungry. It comes off really fast in the beginning. CHEW ALOT! TAKE SMALL BITES and take your time eating. It's hard cause everyone aroundme scarfs their food and I did too before the surgery but If i do it now I feel soooo sick. Its a journey but well well worth it. How old are you? I started at 359 and still have about another 100 to loose. You will be soooo happy you did this!!

  5. Holly, you are such an inspiration! :) 100lbs!!!!!!!!!! That's so great! :) When was your surgery? xoxo :)

    Can my body really become a small size?

    Hi guys! My name is Holly and I got my band in may 2008. I am doing ok. I have lost 100 pounds but still have another 100 to loose. I started at 357 or something and im down to 257. I am having a hard time loosing now though but the entire time i have had the band I have not worked out. I'm guessing by looking at you guys on here that you work out and that if I did it would probably make a HUGE difference... Anyways i think most of you weren't as heavy as me when u started out. But just wanted to get some advice... Thanks :wink:

    Hi guys! I got my 3rd fill or 4th... can't remember. I was gaining a couple pounds and now i am at 100 pounds loss. Kindof stuck but i don't work out so I think that is something I need to incorporate to loose more. But i'm doing good and feel great! Anyone ever heard of Menstrual Cramps getting worse after a major weight loss?? I never had bad cramps but GEEZ they are badddd now for sure! Just wondering if anyone ever heard that from anyone?

    Hi just wanted to let you know you WILL most likely be able to eat nuggets. U eat McDonalds nuggets all the time. Eating SLOW is the key. I have been throwing up alot cause i feel so sick after eating like 2 bites of food and thats cause i eat to fast and i dont chew enough and those 2 things will make it sooo much easier if u get them down. :smile2:
