just saw your pics you look stunning! keep up the good work. ps. you have a beautiful family, hope to chat again soon... Blegs...lol

i decided that if the band wasnt going to do it i would. so i got gym membership and started swimming. yes its emabarassing to be in a swim suit, but i promise nobody is going to say anything! i started swimming 3 - 4 times a week, and walking everyday about 2 miles. i cut the mash potatoes and bread, and started making myself soups, with veggies, lentils, beans, any protein sourse, i cut meat, and started making fish, and i have not had a bite of bread since march, once i started doing this the pounds shed off. heres my last piece of advice. DONT weigh yourself everyday! its not steady. and it only made me feel depressed. weigh only once a week, or once every 2 weeks. i have lost 94 pds. but its been hard work, and dedication.gastric bypass is the easy way out, give this a chance you can do it! may God bless you on your journy.

hi hun, i just read your post about your port, i know exactly how you feel read my post its right after yours. But im writing you because you should not give up on this the band is a "Fickle Bitch" i know its so hard, harder than we imagined. i was also banded in november 11/24/08. i had such a hard time, i went down 3, then up 5 then down 2, then up another 4. i was like what the hell! heres what i was doing wrong, 1. i did not excercise at all! 2. i ate bad foods just softened them up in my mouth or blended them, i ate chocolate, mashed potatoes, bread. i thought that the band was gonna do all the dirty work. then i started to think i spent so much money on this "no insurance" i have to make this work,

thanks for the picture comment, you look great! Keep it up. Martha

you are so beautiful and such an inspiration. i will be banded this monday, i hope a can do half as well as you, god bless

God Bless you and your family, everything will go well with both of us im certain! did you tell your work you are doing the surgery? where do you live evelyn? talk to you later
