hey there... i'm doing ok... i haven't lost any weight since my original 11 from before, that's disheartening but it is what it is...

how are you doing?

hi girly! how are you doing?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i've heard that muscle "weighs" more than fat, but i've also heard a pound is a pound.. who knows. lol

i hope all works out for you for the new job/insurance and for your surgery. My weightloss is EXTREMELY slow......... i've only lost 17 lbs since being banded March 30th.... actually i'm only down 9lbs since surgery... the rest was from the pre-op diet. HOWEVER, having said all that, i am still glad i had the surgery. My back doesn't hurt anymore, my knees don't hurt and my diabetes is much more under control. I hope it works out for you.

hi there... thanks for the friend add.. how are you doing? when were you banded and how is your journey going?

sorry you're discouraged... i understand fully. i hardly get on here either.. if you want to email i'm on yahoo all the time.. my email is: snereb27@yahoo.com.

take care.

are you kidding me??? he's upset cuz you've "only" lost 45 lbs in 6 months??? man he'd hate me! i've only lost 10 since surgery!!! but i only have 4cc's in my band. i'm hoping that on sept.8th when i get another fill, it will put me at good restriction. right now i'm a little discouraged.

i understand completely, but at least you're down between 28 and 32.. i'm struggling with the 10 i've lost since surgery. it's soooo frustrating. but everyone keeps telling me they can see that i'm losing, i just can't see it. oh well, i'm just really hoping that if i stay consistent one of these days i'll really see the difference. who knows.

anything else new and exciting in your world?

hi there.. i'm doing ok. how are you doing? I'm frustrated bcuz i keep staying at the same weight, but i'm still working on it... i am somewhat unmotivated but i know if i don't stay consistent then i won't only not lose weight, but i might even gain... anyway... how are you doing? how much have you lost?

Hey girly... your advatar looks like he has to pee!!! Let him go pee please!!!

25 down... that's amazing! sorry you're feeling sick.. that's never fun. I'm still hovering around the same weight loss, but i tried on a shirt the other day that i bought last year as motivation to lose weight and it was too big! :-) I told my sister that it was way too big in the boobs (she's a size A and I'm a DDD)... she said "welcome to the itty bitty titty committee... i'm still a DD but it was funny to hear!

hi there... thanks for the pic comment! hope you're doing well.

hey there.. just checking in to see how your'e doing....

HI there... We're actually not walking to night, this is the first night that Julie's husband is off for the past 2 weeks or so, and they want to have a quiet night together. After talking to her, i already made plans, so we are planning next tuesday at 4:45 on Senate and St. Clair and walking the canal. I'll be at the support group on thursday... it will be good to see you as well.

I can't wait to hear how your talk with dr clark went. talk to you soon!

ok, i emailed julie and she said -- I think somewhere around St. Clair and Senate would be good, I will be walking there and I will get an early start I can guide you to a good spot. Not sure exactly where you are coming from but off of 70 you would take the Meridian St exit and turn left off of exit to St Claire and left onto St Claire to Senate.. But we can fine tune that. call her if it works for you to come and she can give you better directions to get there. hope to see you!!!

hi there... hope you're doing well. sorry for the short notice, but do you want to walk tuesday night (june 30th) downtown around 4:45? somewhere on the canal, maybe at white river park? let me know if this works for you. :-) you can email me: snereb27@yahoo.com or call me 507-8585

i love your positive attitude! Keep going... keep your head up and focusing on you! you'll do great!

Hi there... good luck on your journey as well. how far into your 6 month wait are you?

oh, i wasn't nervous at all... i've spoken in front of thousands, so a handful is nothing. i just hated that i feel like a failure since i haven't lost much weight. you definitely should go to a support group, it is good to talk to your peers. :-)

Hi there... it went really well actually, i had a ton of things to say, but then once i got in there, i asked if everyone had already had the surgery and they said yes, so everything i was going to say would have been pointless. So i just shared part of my story and my struggles and everyone opened up and shared. It went really really well. Thanks for asking.

how are you doing?

i think getting together to walk/talk is a GREAT idea. We all kinda live in different spots... you're down south, julie is downtown and i'm up in lawrence, but i'm sure there is somewhere we can meet to walk. the canal is alwasy nice.

i'm so glad you came last night. It was great to meet you. i'd love for you, Julie and i to get together outside of once a month support group to support each other... i need more support i know. It's too easy for me to cheat because it's just me. I'm single, no kids, no boyfriend so it's easy for me to allow myself to cheat.

What side of town do you live on? I live in Lawrence off of 50th and Sunnyside. if you want to email, my personal email is: snereb27@yahoo.com

i was banded march 30th and have only lost about 10lbs since surgery. I had my first fill last week and still don't feel consistent restriction, but i'm also realizing that i can't do this by myself. I have supportive people but no support...i am not as strict on myself as i need to be, but i'm resolving today to be so. I have to speak next week at the support group here and i want to be a good example, not a bad one. it's such a slow process and although i knew that in my head, getting it to become a reality in my life is difficult and i lose motivation quickly because my nutritionist said i may only lose 1/2 lb a week... that's EXTREMELY frustrating. but we'll see.

actually then, you're way a head of me... when i was on my 2 week pre-op diet.. i only lost 8lbs total.

Yes, it's great to have friends to go with it together.. especially with us being the same starting weight, it will be interesting to see if our weight comes off in a similar time frame... look forward to talking more with you.
