-

-
Hey there fellow army wife! I just left ft. bragg last aug. how do you like it there so far?
-
Hey there! First off congratulations on your weight loss. I just wanted to know how long did it take for you to reach your goal and do you have any advice for a freshman bandster?
-
Hey there! First off you look amazing! Congrats on your weightloss! I can't wait to get where you are!

Hey there! I saw your post "what made you decide..." I just thought it was so weird that you and I are the same height and weigh about the same and we're getting banded the exact same day! I feel the same way you feel too, that I could maintain 150-160 back when I was younger. Well good luck to you and please keep in touch!

Hey there! So I have a couple questions...when did you have the lap band done, how much total did you lose and when you started gaining it back did you have any complications such as slippage or erosion? BTW your pics look great! They give me hope!

Hey yea I just got home about 2 hrs ago. I went in at 8:30 and my surgery was supposed to be at 10:30 and they didnt get me in till almost 1:30!! I was starving and thirsty lol. I was so worried that I messed up my pre-op diet b/c I was on the low carb/fat high protein and i didn't realize how many carbs were in fruits!! So all last night I was stressing about it thinking that my liver didn't shrink good enough. Well after my surgery, my hubby talked to my surgeon and he said that i did wonderful on my pre-op and that I actually saved him 20 mins because he didnt' even have to move my liver around and that I was the best patient he had that day!! So that made me feel great and basically told me thats what took so long with his other patients. Now I'm in a little pain with the gas in my left shoulder and of course the incisions. Other than I'm good. Not really hungry just thristy my mouth is dry. How do you feel after day 4 for you?

Hey! I would love to keep in with you! Do you have any advice for a freshman bandster? And thank you for the friend request!

I do have a gym in my apts too but I'll be honest when I get home from work all I want to do is be in my house, thats why I want to invest in an elliptical, that way I can still be in my house and not have an excuse of not working out lol. It would be even better if I had a gym buddy. The only friend I have here is a nurse too so our schedules never coincide for us to work out together and she is a gym freak. She gave me a cute jean one peice of hers. Its a size medium for when I lose my weight. And trust me I look at it every single day! Why is your appointment so late?

I hope so, I've been between 215-217 for the last month now. I wanna see 199 already before the end of July.

I just saw your post in the before/after pics!! You look amazing!! Congratulations! You are such an inspiration!

I totally feel how you feel on not being able to tell if i'm full. My hubby made me some soup last night (i swear he makes the best veggie beef soup in the world!!) and i ate about a cup of his soup...kinda fast i know thats bad but it was so good. Well i started to get pain in my chest and i had to stop eating. I started to walking and that alleviated the pain sat back down and I knocked out within 10 mins lol. I hate it b/c its hard to tell right now. If I were you I would take the weekend off too. I took the entire week of myself. How much did you lose prior to surgery?
