  1. Ok so I see your info all over this site so I know you would be a good person to ask a question. I am out 2 weeks today, had surgery in Mexico. I am following the foods you posted for 2 week, but I am starving it feels like? Did you have that feeling too? I feel like maybe they didn't take enough out or something?

  2. Had sleeve surgery Sept 4th..down 14 pounds!!! From 204 to 190.

  3. I have had a hard time with my band and actually had it removed last week, I am scared I will gain it all back. I was starving to death basically and my band eventually slipped. I wish you the best of luck and I think this site is a good place to get info!

  4. Do you have tattoo's also? Mine did really well, just got smaller and brighter in color!

  5. Let me know how everything goes and if you have any questions! Good luck!!

  6. Thanks for the pic comment and you miss thang you are looking amazing! Are you at goal weight you look like you are!! And how has the band been for you?

  7. I am completely unfilled now, but i am still swollen so will take a little over a week to get back to normal. I used to throw up many times a day, acid reflux super bad all of that! I had my gallbladder pulled 9/14 and things were better for awhile, only had 22 cc's in a 10 cc band and had to have a complete unfill. Doctor says I am doing something wrong so going to unfill start my eating all over and see if I can just do it on my own. I am only 10 pounds away from goal. But my main problem is fiber and you know what happens with not enough fiber not to give tmi. So you gave me some good info! And I really appreciate it. I will be checking your progress and you look amazing!!!!

  8. Thanks so much for the info! And yes what is your shake recipe? Veggie chips going to try that. What about fiber do you get enough? I can't get an egg any kind of egg down haven't been able to since surgery or I would use that for protein. And you can get meat down? I have a hard time with this also. Sorry I have so many questions lol!

  9. I was just wondering what do you eat on a daily basis? I have had such probs with my band and had a complete unfill today and still have 10 pounds till goal. And info on your diet would be great! Thanks

  11. Ok I need your help!! I am 15 away from goal and for my first year ya I lost 100 but I starved myself as my surgeon wasn't really helpful in that area. So what do you eat daily? I am learning this all over after a year! So any info would be great!! I want to get to 150 !

  12. So I was just looking at your pics and wanted to tell you how amazing you look, then while looking on facebook I see you on my friend Emily Stack's facebook. How random huh? You do look amazing and I just wanted to know if you have any problems (other than being friends with emily) Lol. And did you go to ASC?

  13. I have not had a lift....I wish! My skin to me is horrible and was alot better when I was swimming...had some set backs but I am ready to work my booty again and get my body looking it's best! What is your goal?

  14. It took forever for me to notice my weight loss and everyone around me was like what the hell are you blind. Body image is so weird and honestly I think people look at me I am still 260....it is very weird transistion and I struggle with it everyday. I am really hard on myself too! I just had emergency gallbladder surgery and had my band all the way unfilled two weeks ago...I have gained 8 pounds and I started my period too. I had a really unhealthy weight loss and I lost about half my hair so trust me gradual is better...you have beautiful hair and you will want to keep it! You just need to keep on going girl and it will be a great feeling when you hit goal. How much have you lost?

  15. The Tool show was amazing!! I have wanted to see them forever they were on my list of top 5's to see before I die...so I have seen Metallica, Slipknot, Tool, Marilyn Manson, Korn and just have Rage Against the Machine and I can die happy. Maynard was so amazing and captivating and hippie like vibe was so kool!

    Have you seen them?

  16. I had surgery on June 11th 2008 so just celbrated my year anniversary! I have lost 95 pounds and I am at a stand still lately!! I want to loose another 15 but it is gotten really hard! How are you doing??

  17. Congrats on having surgery. I would say to understand that lapband is the most unconsistant thing in the world. One day I can eat chicken the next day it gets stuck. I will say that eating slow is the key. I chew each bite 30 times before I swallow. Listen to your body it will tell you if what you are eating is not going to sit well, but sometimes it tastes good so you will push it and you will be sorry. I had alot of problems with constipation so I take miralax which was a lifesaver! I also lost alot of hair so take prenatal vitamins. Those were two things that I really had a hard time with! Let me know how everything goes! Good luck!!
