Thanks for the pic comment!

Thanks for checking on me. I'm doing alright. I have maintained my 23lbs lose! Just started doing some exercise so i hope that can help hold me until my first fill on 9/11. How are you doing?

Thanks for the friend request. I see your surgery is tomorrow! Best wishes!!!

I cant wait until i'm able to move on to more complex foods. I will fire up me some cheese grits this weekend, lol!

I'm healing good! Just getting to full liquids so I'm enjoying more than jello, lol! Glad to see you are doing so well. First fill, true restriction has got to be exciting!

I know what you mean about the jello. I finally had blended up clam chowder today and thought it was the best thing i'd ever put in my mouth! I'm about like you, eating every 4 hours and drinking in between. Congrats on the 21lbs! Keep it up!

I'm doing great! The gas pain wasnt to bad! I didnt feel it in my shoulders, it was more in my back. It was off and on for a few days. I'm actually going back to work tomorrow so we will see how I feel then, lol!

Hey Nikki, just wanted to let you know that everything went great! I'm down about 20lbs from pre-op diet to now. A little tired of the pudding, pops, and protein shakes, but its worth it. Can't wait til I can have some soup in a couple days!

Hey girl, how are you healing? Is everything going well for you?

Hey girl! How are things going with you? You should be close to eating regular food now! Lucky you! The puddings and protien drinks are getting old.

I've had surgery several times be4 this so I was prepaired for the pain. The crazy part is the others were worse than this. Depending on what my bum looks like after all the weight is lost I might seriously be looking for a doc. How is your diet going so far? Getting hungry yet?

about the pic comment. the donk goes away when the weight does! thats the only bad thing. might have to find a doc who does back shots, lol!

hey girl, i'm just getting back from Denver today. so far i'm down 17lbs but thats pre-op diet up to today. I'm a little sore but other than that everything is good! Can't believe it's finally done!

Thanks! Girl it's a weird feeling knowing that it is finally done. The rest is left up to me!

Thanks for your support! I'm finally back from Denver and everything went well! Can't wait to see what the future holds!

Thanks for the friend request! I've secretly followed your blog, lol. Good stuff! You have inspired me!

Thanks for the shout out! WOW 30lbs down! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I need all the best wishes and prayers I can get!

Soror, it was good to hear from you! Starting an Atl group is a good idea. Someone else mentioned it about a week ago. Congrats on your sugery date. What kind of pre-op diet will your doc have you on?

Hey Ivy! Congrats on taking the first step: seminar. A couple of questions off the top of my head that I really wanted to know were. 1. How long has the Dr. been placing bands? 2. How many do they place in a month? 3. What's their personal stats, as far as slips and erosions? 4. What band do they use? 5. How much are fills? I'll hit u up later if I think of any more.

Girl i'm happy to see that you are doing good. I know it feels great to be on the other side. I can't wait! I'm ready to get this show on the road! Started pre-op on the 9th and it's going well. My doc is Kirshenbaum in Colorado. I'm self pay so I had to find a good doc I could afford. You know starting something for the Atl crew is a great idea. Count me in!

Congrats on the date! Time will fly and it will be here before you know it. I started my pre-op no carb diet the other day. It hasn't been so bad, but only time will tell.

Hey! From the A and being banded on the same day! What are the odds! Start pre-op tomorrow and i'm so not looking forward to it. When do you start?

Hey! Thanks for the compliment, and so are you! It's good to see some folks in here with some height. I'm 5'11" so i'm shooting for brick house status!

Just wanted to say hello. Nice to see other Atlanta bandsters on here. I see you will be banded tomorrow! Good for you! I'm going in on the 23rd. Best of wishes and speedy recovery! Kim
