congrats but I must tell you my Dr. told me no slim fast too many calories check that out you need protein shakes. Good luck your sore now but you will be so happy later. Michelle

Yeah Sara good for you and 52 pounds is alot for anyone and you should be so proud of yourself. I was banded on the 8th of Feb and I am done 30 something pounds and oh how I CANT WAIT TO SAY i HAVE LOST 50 POUNDS. By the way I dont know if you read but I stopped the smoking. Well good luck Sara keep up the good work and KIT. Michelle

You know who you are and dont let losing weight change that. So many women have lost weight and their minds at the same time. Yes its nice to have a good looking man flirt as long as you know where home is as long as you remember where the real love is. Good luck and keep up the good work. Michelle

Well it took me all of two days to read all your post and I first have to congratulate you on your progress I am so happy for you I can feel your excitement. You look great and I have never seen someone so happy that looks as if they should be is pain thank God for pain killers. I havent read all the other post but I have to tell you girl you better slow down. I know hubby made a serious mistake and I know how wrong he was but he loves you and I mean really loves you and you really need to know how precious love is. I dont care if you have a body of an 18 yr. old it is hard as hell to find real love. After you get off of your world spin you need to evaluate your situation and love worth having is worth fighting for. Your husband did cheat ok get past that think of all the good he did. When you were fat you werent happy you didnt have that same zest for life that you have today but he still loved you he didnt run off with the next hottie please imbrace your new life but see if there is room for the father of your children the man that loved you 100 pounds heavier next time some guy is flirting think to yourself would this man give me the time of day if i were fat. Your husband knows you and at 50 to 500 pounds ge would love you. I know he has learned his lesson. Please dont make the mistake and let him go re group get your priorties together. People get this surgery to find someone to spend their lives with and you had what so many of us want but its easier to party flirt. It is hard work to work on it learn to trust again but all the work could pay off. Please dont look up five years from now wore out from all the parting (best believe it will catch up to you) and end up the 40 something party girl left all alone. Someone other women would snatch up your husband and have a good life and because of you he would be a better stronger faithful husband why not be smart take your new body your knew life and share that with your husband and children just a thought. Good luck Michelle

You have the right attitude good luck and girl keep paddling untill your arms fall of or untill you reach that beach I hope to be there waiting on you Michelle

Dont get discourage this is typical of insurance companies they try to run you in circles hoping you will either lose the weight or your mind by the time they get to you. Stay on thier asses call every day three four times if need be fax twice and have your Dr. office fax another time be patient remember its just a job to them this is your life. You remember that saying killing them with kindness yeah this is the perfect situation to apply that. Good luck stay focus on the prize. Michelle

Well the pbing has stop so that I am so greatful for. I was really worried that my smoking had done some damage but as of now Iam fine (other then my dam teeth hurting) I did a light work out on the wii system but I havent been working out like I should be but thats ok my personal training begins tomorrow I hope I really stick with it I am excited. Lets see how excited Iam after the work out that is my true test. I dont have that same go get it attitude that I had a couple of weeks ago I want that feeling back. I have been working alot and all I can think about is getting home and jumping in the bed. I havent been hungrey at all thank God and I havent been drinking my water like I am suppose to. I just cant seem to get it all together at the same time. I am not smoking so I guess thats a start now I will conquor one at a time untill I have a sed. I can deal with. I just admire those women that do it all with LB take care of a family and still have time for themselves. I feel over loaded and all I have is me hell I dont even have a cat a plant and my son he is on this I am 19 and grown kick I only hear from him when he needs money. I say that just to say have no valid excuse why I cant get it together other then I lost that spark I had. I love my band I just want the same love for it like when we first meet. I need that spark back:tongue2: Michelle

Good going Kellie we must do what we have too. Good luck. Michelle

Oh I just love you and I am so happy for your tree good luck and keep up the work Michelle

ok first let me say congrats and now let me say I was advised not to have a shake for bfst becayse it funs through you I was told to use the shakes for a snack and the slim fast was a serious nono it is considered a high calorie drink so maybe you should look into that. I know everyone is different and alot of Dr.and Nutrionist work differently but I just thought I would share what my Dr.and my nutrionist told me. Good Luck and I wish you the best. Michelle

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL. Well tis morning I woke up and I refused to stop and buy a pack of cigs I instead bought some well needed patches to cut these cravings. I realized last night when trying to eat my ol faithful fish and squash I started to pb and realized that it has been happening alot this week. I havent been eating fast or big bites WTH. I am wondering if my smoking has anything to do with my pbing I am scared to death I hope like hell I dont have any damage to my lb. I hope I caught it in enough time. I am done and since cant seem to drink without a smoke well thats out aswell. I am going to give it a couple of days and hope my food goes down if not I will have to make an appt. to see my Dr. but my having the courage to admite that I went on a week smoking beng is a whole other thing. I have not only read about people smoking cigs. but weed too and I hadnt heard any horror stories so I just hope my head is playing tricks on me trying to make me realize just how dumb that was to even puff on one let alone purchase packs. Well my wii fit wow that is a serious work out and I have a ways to go. I have to be honest yesterday I vowed to tackle that system when I got home. "well lets just say I didnt exactly tackle it more like brushed against it lol yeah I just did a test run I was tired I did a double at work and after an hour drive and 4 cigs I wasnt feeling so good. (MY 5 HOUR ENERGY BOOSTER WORE OFF) My mouth still hurts yeah the cigs. slowed down the recover on that aswell those dam cigs. I hope this week is a better week for me but the good news is that I lost 2/3 pounds. You would think with my smoking mouth hurting and me pbing every where I would have lost more but I will take what I can. Michelle

Isabella, If you have read peoples blogs then you must know everyone has cold feet. Hell you have gotten through the hard part I couldnt imagin not eating for two weeks with the band let alone without it. I never understood that liquid shi## my Dr. just asked me to eat lighlt the week before then I took a liqiud laxative the day before surgery. I understand your pist off your worried and hungrey God bless your heart :rolleyes2: You will be fine dont trip bite the bullet and go get your band its has been the best choice that I have ever made. Read my blog and you will see I was stressed out like crazy b4 surgery. Wont I dont recomend is getting vieneers lol that has been my worst descion hahaha. Be excited just think you are on your way to a whole new life filled with energy and no hunger yeap there be come a day when you say dam did I eat today there will be a day that you will atuomaticly reach for the healthy choice rather then the fattening one and you wont think twice. Take care and good luck. Michelle

Well my personal training doesnt start untill this Tues. so after I woke up from my drug induced sleep. I felt better and went shopping and being that I was so inspired by alot of the LB people I bought the wii fit system. Did I get a good laugh and a couple of tears the dam system informed me that I was obese I thought it was hard to hear that word from a medical professional but for a dam system that I spend almost $400 hell no, not to mention it placed me in the 50 year old age group aint that a bi###. I did not know weather to find this info. amuzing or break down cry and pack that crap up and return it. I called my mom and she laughed oh did I make her night when I expressed how upset I was she told me to shut up and get to work and make the change anf though deep down I know she was right I wanted her to feel me but that was enough for me to end my pity party by then my mouth was hurting again. I will work this wii program and I will show it. I could have saved on that personal trainer because this workout is all I need. I tried eatting a english muffin with I cant believe its not butter and boy that muffin kicked my butt (wont try that again) for the most part I have been doing well on my calorie in take and the cigs have a 3 day notice. I am actually excited to go home and tackle that wii. I just have to get in better shape its so funny that I really hadnt realized just how unhealthy I am. I have to be honest I got the LB becuse of all the wrong reasons (I know I will get alot of mean comments) I dont know how to put it without sounding vien and I dont want to come across like that cause I am far from that. I just wanted to feel better about myself. I now know just how much this LB is benefiting me and I am ashamed that I hadnt came to that realization prior to my making such a drastic life change but I am on track now. I had a ahha moment better late then never. :w00t: Michelle

Girl, Be careful I was in that same situation my bmi was at 35.8 and that was with 3 pound leg weights lol and i vowed to make that bmi girl I went back 6 weeks later and you wont belive i managed to get myself to 41 bmi with ni weights omg i could have just died and by the time my surgery date (4 months later) I gained 30 pounds I didnt even see that coming. I ate everything in site I guess sub consiously I thought since I had such a low bmi I thought hell i am ok and by the time i got my date you could push my forehead and order and i would produce it hahaha. I am now 2 1/2 months post surgery and i am just losing that weight. Dsm if only I would have maintained my weight I would have been ok it made my journey just that much harder. Be careful use the ankle weights it will take you to 40 bmi just dont do too many of those wendy stops. Good Luck, Michelle

I am 37 yrs old and I have had a gap between my front teeth for ever and I dont know if I just got use to it or if I really like it ( other then that I have a beauitful set of teeth). I have always had comments about my gap weather it was positive or negative (schools fights) but I never gave it too much thought but now since I had the courage to get the lap band i have choose to go all the way. I went to the dentist and boy did I jump before thinking the next thing I know I have a new set of teeth yeap in two days I went from my big beauitful gap to a set of temps venears oh they hurt like hell what did I do?

I have to have these temps for two weeks I hope this pain subsides quickly or I am going for dentures:laugh: Yeah and I am suppose to put my patch on yeah right this hurts and my cigs are helping me I will stop soon for real. I went and bought a pack and couldnt believe they were damnear 6.00 hell no I was paying 3.50 for Marlboro just three months ago. I have so many issues I could have my own soap prime time.

Hello ok where shall I start fiest I am really messing up I went out Frieday night club bounce (fat girl club). I had a good time and I drank enough calories for the week. I also screwed up by smoking yes did I mess up. The only thing I didnt do was do the after club Denny's or Jack n box run. I dont ever go out but it was a good friends of mine b day. I am so upset with the fact that I smoked and you guessed it I havent stoped since. I am hiding it as much as I can (the smell is hard to mask) my mother would just kill me not to mention the rest of my family. My family was more happy that I quit smoking more so then the lap band. I am doing well as fae as my losing down to 229 yeah. I will put the patch on quit this sh## I know I felt so good being smoke free.

I have been told 145 is my idle wight NOT I would look like a crack head at 145 hell my ass and hair is almost half of that lol I would look good at 175 180 to hell with that chart I want some curves its the rolls i cant bear. Good luck to everyone Michelle
