Hi! Well done on the 5lbs loss! you are well on the way! Im glad to hear that you are not going to let your age get in the way. You made me laugh about your son fiance, maybe the weight that you are loosing you can give it to her, she needs it more than you! :eek:

WELL its an interesting one for me. I wanted to get the band on the national health service but they said my bmi was to high and it wouldn't work blah blah and offered me bypass which i dont wanna do. so im self paying...i could have the band now if i wanted by my money doesn't stretch that far at the mo, so im having to save.... would really like the band now, but im just biding time....everyday im getting closer.....cant wait!!

hey! i agree with the above your not giving your body enough cals, it needs 1200 min to function properly. Your body is thinking im not getting enough energy so im going to hold on to the lil bit i have. up the cals and see how you go xx

Hi ladies! Yes it has been quite a journey, and to think i havent even been banded yet. But i am well and truly on my way which is the important part. Anne was this 20lbs part of your pre op diet phase? Or 20lbs before he would give you a date? Please dont let age put you off banding, but rather think about how many more blessed years will be added on to your lifes by getting it done. Lottacash, your sister is living proof and like so many other on thsi site that it really does work if you work with the band. im sure she feels much better in all senses that she has gotten that much weight off. I wish you all the best in your journeys! xxx

i totally agree with that comment! i have made so many band buddys on this site, and its great to talk to somebody who is going through teh same thing, and someone who really understands. I love this site!!

hey debbie!! well done on getting a date, its all so ecxciting!!! i cant "weight" lol lol

Hi Anne! Sorry to hear that he is making you wait before you have surgery....has he given you a timeline to when you have loose it by? I have also been told to drop weight before surgery but wasnt given a certain amount. I was told anything will help...so instead of doing 2 weeks pre op diet im doing 4 weeks. Do you have a date for your knee op yet....? Will definatly keep you in my prayers! Stay blesssed! xxx

thanks for posting this..gives you an insight into what may happen once banded xx good luck with your WLjourney

You have done so well, you can really see a difference!! Keep up the hard work! i love seeing pics like this, because it really gives me inspiration!! xxx

I know excatly how you feel, people watching every single bite of what you eat. Even when its healthy things...it used to really get me upset, especially when its close family. Sometimes i would deliberately not eat in front of them, just so i wouldn't have to hear there comments. I mean i a fully grown woman, and if i want to put something in my mouth, its my choice. Right now i couldn't care less what they say...especially as they don't support me. Carry on doing your thing hun, and dont let them get to you. Keep focused on where you want to get to, and dont let them get in your way, you have come to far for that. xx

thats really nice of you! thank you and well done on your great loss!!
