Hi Andrea, when did you have your surgery ? Congrats on making this journey. This is a great place to be !

Do you still go to the support meetings

? I have to go to the first on on the 30th. Looking forward to it too.

Hi there, I am in Vegas too and wanted to see when the next meet up will be, I just had surgery on March 12th and would love to meet some locals who are banded too.

When do you get your surgery ? Slow and steady wins the race for me, I cant take it off too fast because of my heart otherwise I would have prob. had gastric bypass to do it as quickly as possible.

You look wonderful anyways big or small and I am glad to have met you.

How are things going????

I am having a moment this week, a good friend died, marriage issues and I am not losing a FUCKING pound.? I am really wondering wtf did I do this to myself for ?

Congrats on the loss. I am down 16 lbs since I got my band last week and I feel GREAT ! Much luck to you in the coming months !!

Congrats on your loss so far, I saw your ticker!! I really need to update mine sometime soon. I am down 20 ish too !!!

Hey Jodi... I am in the Northwest as well. I saw your post on the Vegas board. How are you doing so far?

just got back on here, you got your band ?? Congrats !

I tried posting pics of myself but I cant get it to work, however I have photos in my albums.

I just got banded, I used to weigh 350- got down to 200- then back up to 290 - now working my way down, I am down 18 lbs since my band 9 days ago so I am just pushing to lose it and keep it off at this point.

Being a foodie I cant stand the taste of the Isopure or most of the drinks. I actually can eat beef tendon ( yeah gross ) but I can get it at a Vietmanese restaraunt here and it goes down great and each portion has like 36g of protien for 3 ozs and only 150 calories which just rocks for me. I will look into that stuff that you reccomended. Once I hit 30 things just changed with my body and even though I am glad that I am losing fast the moment I hit 240 ( my sweet spot for weight ) I plan on hitting the gym to work out at the same time to keep myself nice and toned. Congrats once again ..
