Hey guys! Congrats on all your successes! Keep up the good work!!! I am down 5.8lbs this week. Bringing me to 260.4 (I dont remember for sure the last time I was 260lbs!) Just a reminder: Don't forget to reward yourselves! It doesnt matter whether you lose 0.1lbs or 100lbs, a success is a success!!!

I sure hope you're right! Congrats on getting to goal! What an amazing accomplishment!!!:tongue2:

Hey there, I thought that I would take a chance and look through the threads and was shocked to find something that said single! I was totally excited!! A little bit about me.... I am 23/f/single from kansas. I am currently in nursing school. I have been overweight my entire life and was banded on Dec 22nd in Denver colorado. So far I am down 28lbs. My relationship history is completely bleak and depressing. I've never had a serious relationship. Been kissed once and if I could take it back I totally would! So, I am sure you can guess that I have some confidence issues. I want a relationship so bad but it seems like every guy is completely repulsed by me. I'm hoping that through this process I not only get healthier but I gain confidence and get to a point where I dont repulse myself. I'm really glad that I found this thread. Hope I hear from you soon!

Hey all! Congrats on all of your continued weight loss! You're doing amazing!!! Well, I am down another 0.3lbs. I didnt meet my goal but I am SOOOO thankful that I am starting to lose again!!! My ending month weight is 266.2 For Febuary, my goal will be 10 lbs. Thanks for all the support! Cali:thumbup:

Hey Molly, I'm 23 female from KS, banded on 12/22/08. Would love to have someone to support/get support from through this experience. Hope your starting to feel better post-op!

Hey all, Today is my 6th day post-op, I feel like I am doing really well sticking with the liquids, the pounds are literally falling off. However, yesterday and today I have found myself getting hungry. I still get full after about 3/4 cup but its not lasting as long. Is this normal? Thanks for your help! Wishing everyone continued success!

Wow... sorry to hear about getting stuck! I'm only 6 days post-op so still on liquids. Hope it was your last time! Good Luck! Cali

I can totally relate! I'm getting banded on the 22nd but I have two finals to get through between now and then I'm glad that things are going well for you, hope it stays that way! Good luck on your finals and your surgery! Keep me posted! Cali:thumbup:
