That is awsome!!! 14 is my goal size. I know it must feel wonderful... good job!!!!

you look great!!!! great job... Love the dress.

I still have the shorts that I meet my DH in. They are black "Daisy dukes" with fringes around the legs. My GOAL is to get back into thoses shorts. My dh loved them and he told me years later when he saw them on me (I was not there for him, I happened to be dating his roommate) all he could think was "he wanted my legs wrapped around him". May TMI but it makes me smile! Good luck YOU will get into those outdated jeans.... Oh by the way I am 6'2 so I have tons of legs!!!!

yep it does!!!! enjoy it and I am right behind you getting my band on tues. YEAH Good luck

Thank you so much for posting that! That is awsome.. YEAH for you.. I am soon to be banded (july 25th) and little NSV like this make me know for sure that I am doing the right thing... Thanks

Lapbandfan, My husband is on his way to be banded. He just, two weeks ago changed his meds from a pill form to a liquid form. He gained 15 lbs in two weeks. He freaked out, and his doc said IT WAS NORMAL! and he said but what if my band doc won't band me now, and she told him not to worry, because it usually happens when you start a new kind of blood pressure med, and he will know this. Don't fret get your fill and once your body gets used to it you will drop the weight. Good luck

Three days and two hours remaining before I get to lap band land!!! I am so excited! gota go get ready just thought I would drop in..

Hey, Congrats on your surgey date! I can only tell you my experience. I had to keep from breast feeding for the first 24 hours after surgery. Then the first milk I pumped and dumped. I then went back to feeding like normal. Another concern is make sure your pain meds are compatiable with nursing.. Good luck and keep us posted...

I second elizabeth! you need to find a new doc. This one sounds like he just wants to get your band out!

hunnybun, You can do this, If you put your mind to it. I agree with mpvo, you need to make a buget. My dh and I went from make over 100,000 a year to just over 30,000 in less than two years. We had to cut out ALOT! When you go to buy something, think do I NEED this or do I WANT it. There is a big difference in those two words. Good luck on you entire journy of the new you!

This is a good thing right? I hope my nose and my brain does this to me when I am banded. The only time I experienced anything like this was when I was prego. It was so weird. All three pregnancies I could not look at, smell, touch or really think about raw meat! any kinds, red, chicken, turkey, didn't matter all of it made me sick.

If I needed alot of work, I probley would go to mx. for it

Cokes have never been my weakness, so I just leave them out all together. I am just to afraid that if I do drink a coke, then my band slips, I would mad at myself and blame myself for the slipage. I want to take no chances on lossing my band. If I do lose my band down the road I can honestly say it wasn't my fault. (not banded for another 4 days but thats my moto)

perv here!!!!

Hey nervous!, Don't waist your nervous energy on this. You should be fine with a BMI of 45. You will prob. breeze through this and be like, "what was I nervous about?" good luck tonight and jkust take it all in...

Sent you a PM by the way this is JEN if any of you are wondering...

LOL Good job.... LOL those were cute little pics. I was reading theres and alot of us are going down the same road.. So we need to look for them for inspiration.. (But while were there it won't hurt to throw some food around)lol

Have you tried the ones with the fruit? yummm I love the strawberry....

You can call now and set up some of your appointments now. I know both My nutr. and pysc dr. Had a two month wait because they were so booked. I would have everything set up by November or December. It took me three months to get all my stuff done but thats because I was waiting for appointments. Good luck!!!

KMO Your tooo funny!!! Thats my name... LMo we will be seeing you soon .......

WHHooohoooooo! I am down 7 lbs, I only have 4 more to go to be under 300 lbs. Can I get a Whot Whot!!! Hell Yes. I have worked out everyday and I feel great. It gets so much easier when you do it everyday. My dd is doing so good and working out with me. "Small nsv" we went to the store today to get the last few things I needed for surgery. We went past the cookies, and my ds said "mom lets get cookies", Before I could say anything My dd piped up and said "Kaleb, thats not very healthy". All I did was smile. We then went and got yogurt instead.. I went and had my "last supper" today. I went to cici's for cinn rolls. I did good and had a big salad with low fat dressing and 3 cinn rolls. That will be the last time I ever have a cinn roll from cici's. I will never go back... I tried on a pair of shorts today and could not get them buttoned but I did get them over my hips.. LOL they are safe in my dresser and waiting till the day I can put them on, button them, and have lots of room to move... I have 7 days left... Yeahhhhh This waiting is KILLING me. While I wait: 1 1/2 hours on cross trainer 300 crunches 100 leg lifts 3 sets 15 curls 3 sets 15 press DD 20 mins cross trainer 100 crunches 50 jumpin jacks 28 leg lifts

Hello You hit the nail on the head. I went today for my last supper before my Band surgery in a week. I went to cici's and I didn't want to be terrible because I have lost 7 more lbs. and want to lose another 5 before surgery. I went for the cinn rolls, they are my fav. Now I ate no pizza, I only ate salad with low fat ranch. The I ate 3 cinn rolls. Don't know which one did it, but I am happy That will NEVER be my lunch again... LOL LESSON LEARNED>>>

whohoo... I am getting one for christmas this year!!!!!!We found a new homeowners and guess what it 300.00 cheaper than what we had... LOL Go figure... Soon I will be bounceing!!! hehe I am happy
