  1. hey there...i saw ur comment about hoping the band surgery doesnt hurt as bad as a c-section....nowhere near it...the band is breezy compared to a c-section...i dont know if u banded yet...but good luck!!!!!!

  2. how exciting!!!!!!!! if u ever have questions...feel free to message me anytime!!!!!

  3. how exciting!!!!!!!!! i've realized many people at the gym aren't there to actually exercise...but to hook up with each other!!!!!! i think i'm one of few that actually uses the gym to exercise....lol

  4. how r u feeling gorgeous?????

  5. i actually don't know if its the pre-natal vitamins that have helped or the biotin....i take both...all i know is one of them is working...lol....i take the biotin in pill form...i take 5000 mgs...most doctors recommend 2500mgs...but i was losing a ton of hair!!!!!!!!! i was never a big soda drinker...i'm an iced tea junkie...and have always used equal to sweeten it...so i didnt have to change that habit..i also love crystal lite on the goes and they come in a variety of flavors...

  6. i am absolutely...undoubtly...positively...definitely....100% sure...i will see you at goal in no time!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. i am 5'8 and 170.4 pounds in that pic...i want to get down down to 160...i am having a panniculectomy in july....what insurance covers instead of a tummy tuck...not as good as a tuck...i have 4-5 pounds of excess skin on the lower part of my stomach...i just dont take pic of that mess...lol

  8. i am 5'8 and currently weight 167.4

  9. i am 5'8.....my insurance covered my panniculectomy...thats just the removal of excess skin...i paid 3000.00 out of pocket for my mini tuck...it was a lot cheaper to have it done that way bcuz i didnt have to pay for the anesthia...(sp???)

  10. i am sooooooo nervous...i'm literally having nightmares...this week is flying by...i'm not excited like i was when i was getting banded...i kind of feel like i'm jumping the gun...i'm only a little over 10 months out...but due to work..insurance..my son..i have to do it now...

  12. i am sooooooooo happy 4 u!!!!!!!!!!!! get ready everyone...stand back....this girl is going to go from bomb to explosive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats!!!!!!!!congrats!!!!!!!!yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. I am totally satisfied on 1/2 cup of food 3xs a day...i will freak out and be real crabby if i feel hungry!!!!1lol...thats y convential diets never worked 4 me...i cant stand to feel hungry...if worse comes to worse...i will eat a tablespoon of p-nut butter...most bandsters will tell u thats a myth...but it seems to satisfy me...or at least hold me over or a banana...those r my 2 hold over foods if i really need something to eat inbetween meals...on days i work out real heavily...i need a little extra...i'm afraid to start bad eating habits so i stay away from snacking as much as possible.

  14. i am very sorry to hear about ur brother...i know he is shinning down on u and is so proud of u...ignore that lady...she should spend less time looking in2 illegal marijuana use and more time on getting to goal...

  15. i began walking immediately...the day i came home from the hospital i started walking up my street...as i felt better i added to my walking routine...from my first visit with my surgeon...he told me to walk...walk...walk...keep walking...i ate soup out of the top of a medicine bottle the first few weeks....and drank a lot...i look at it like this...i enjoyed food long enuff...it didnt get me anywhere but in the hospital to have to have surgery to repair the damage it did to my body...its only food...it satisfies u for a few minutes and then leaves u with a fat...unhealthy body...

  16. i bring that little bowl with me when i get fills to show my surgeon where i want my restriction level to b at...he seems to hit my sweet spot everytime...the bowls probably have nothing to do with him hitting my sweet spot...i just like to drive him crazy!!!!! lol

  17. i can honestly say he has always treated me like a queen...but his love or feelings never changed with my weight loss...he doesnt love me or treat any different these days as he did when i had the weight on...he still looks at me the same exact way...and i appreciate that soooo much.

  18. i can't get over u!!!!!!! i keep looking at ur b4 and after's....look at u!!!!!! absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! don't worry about ur hair...i know its devestating...i went throught it to...i took biotin AND pre-natal pills...take both....u may have to wear slicked back ponytails for a little while to hide it...but it does grow back...i promise!!!!

  19. i cant afford to have the skin removed from my arms...my insurance is covering my stomach...but not my arms or thighs...i only did cardio exercise...power-walking...running...bike riding...i have all the motivation in the world to do cardio...but cant seem to motivate myself to getting in the gym and toning up..i dont know what my problem is!!!!!!!!

  20. i checked out ur close-ups...u look absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

  21. i did have a panniculectomy and a mini tummy tuck on august 17th...i had a lot of skin hanging from my lower stomach...my arms are okay...im going to have a thigh lift in janurary....i'm not a fan of plastic surgery at all...not looking 4-ward 2 it at all....:-(

  22. i did suffer from hair loss...it is getting better...i take biotin and prenatal pills...

  23. i didnt get my 1st fill till my 6th week...my bandster hell wasnt that bad....i was on clear liquids 8 days b4 surgery....that was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. i do have arm flabs....they aren't horrible and luckily the excess skin is staying on top and underneath my arm...u cant c my wings unless my arm is extended out...i havent lifted weights yet...i'm going to start working with a trainer after my stitches come out...they don't really bother me...my arms r pretty thin...my friend who had bypass surgery isnt exercising at all...her excess skin is literally falling...the excess skin from the top of her arm has fallen to where ur arms bend...the top of my thighs bother me more than my arms...i will go back under the knife janurary of 2010...oooooo joy...lol
