yes most defenetly god is real.........

do whats best for you.......mine was not happy about me having it but i followed my heart and had it done.....im happy i did.

I know I have tried to think of excuses on why it is not working.

Like: Oh I had it removed.

Or oh I have not had them put any Fluid in it.

Or I had a fautly band so it just isn't working.

Or I was just kidding I never had the surgery.

Nothing sounds believable. LOL

HOW TO LOOSSE 100 POUNDS 1 POUND AT A TIME.....

hi ladies

yall are not alone it has taken me 2 years, yes two years to loosse 62 pounds its a very slow proccess,the first year i lost 14 pounds not what i expected at all but the band is not the same for everyone,i still till this day have no restriction at all,the weight i have lost its because i have changed the way i ate totally,monday to friday liquid diet..saturday and sunday small portions of only Protein and veggies.its a very harsh diet but after paying 17,000 for this surgery and not loosing any weight i am willing to do anything to get this weight off.this stories of not enough weight loss or no weight loss at all are more common than we think,all i can do is share what i had to due in order to loosse weight and wish you soo much luck with your personal journey....its sooo hard but it can be done.lol MARIAH

hola munequita

my meal schedule was to eat something every 3 hours,like half a Protein Shake, fresh fruit smashed,broth and stuff like that. i still eat this way and it has worked for me.during the week i limit my food intake alot and the weekend i eat what ever i want in small portions ofcourse......lol MARIAH

thanks ladys,yes me too i wish i had done something else than the band..but whats done its done....time to fix the problem...lol

hello hello hello

how are you irene? im on board are you?....lol

I DONATED THEM TO GOODWILL,I HAVE NO FAMILY OR FRIENDS THAT ARE OVERWEIGHT SO CHARITY WAS THE ANSWER FOR ME.....lol

HI MISSY

i also tried phertermine a few times,lost 50 pounds keep it off for a few months and then gaind 70...horrible... for my experience with this drug it gave me gitters,i could not concentrate at all at work so i stoped taking it,all this was before the band know its a constant struggle to eat right and exercise it has ben very hard to loosse this pounds but hopefully i will be at goal by the end of the year...becarefull with phentermine for what i understand know its not a safe drug,good luck and hopefully soon you will be back on goal....lol MARIAH
