Hey Heather, just checking in to see how life is treating you! :0)

Thank you so much! That is so kind of you! Have you been banded yet?

Meredith, just checking in to see how you are doing! I saw on your ticker that you are down 46? That's awesome! You need to put some new pics up! Hope all is well.

thanks for the photo comment! Wow, I can tell a big difference in your before and afters! keep up the great work!

Oh that's awesome. I bet you are super excited. it's a great experience, and I'm sure you'll do well! Best of luck, that's right around the corner!

Hi, my doctor was Dr. Pesta out of Henry Ford Macomb Warren Campus.

Hey Heather, so glad that you had a great time! I'm jealous. lol. Yikes, the bathroom 5 times! not fun! I hope you have a good holiday!

Hey girl, not sure if you are in Disney right now, but thought I'd check in to see how you are doing!

Thanks Linda! Yes, please keep me posted! I wish you the best of luck!

Hi Linda! I'm doing really well, feeling really good! I hit 45 pounds today, I was excited. 5 more and I make my next goal of 50! woo hoo! How are things with you? Any progress with the surgery?

Wow, 61 that's awesome! I'm so happy for you! I do feel so much better, just physically and even mentally already. I have more confidence than I have in a long time. OOOH The Ugly Truth! I want to see that! OMG, you are right, he's so sexy!!!!!!!

Hey Heather, congrats on the 5 pounds, that's awesome!!!! This past Friday I lost one pound. This week hopefully I'll lose more! I've lost 40.5 lbs so far. My goal is 50 my Labor day! I know what you mean, I'm 254, I want to get into the 240's as well! So what is your total now? Over 60 right??? That's awesome!!!

Your weekend sounded fun! What movie did you see?

I know what you mean. As you said every lb is one closer to goal! I know that it seems like a far way off, but look how well you've done already! You'll be there in no time. Hopefully I won't be too far behind, lol.

OH awesome! Have a great time at the concert! That's bound to be a great time!

That sounds like a really nice 4th! Very relaxing I'm sure. What beach did you go to this past weekend? It's been so long since I've been to a beach! LOL

Oh no, I'm sorry about your weight loss...BUT at least you're still losing right? Good for you! You are doing great. I'm sure you'll make that goal for 6 weeks. Haha, I would probably have the same reaction as you to what your doctor said. Even though we know that's ok, we still want to lose a little more! My loss is going alright. I have 3 cc's in a 9cc band. I have my 2nd fill next Thursday. I'm looking forward to it because I'm still not having any restriction. Everything is will power still. I lost 5 pounds last week and only half a pound this week. Oh well, I'm happy! My 4th was nice, it went by too fast though!

I'm really glad that you are having a nice summer! I heard that it's supposed to be super hot later this week, so maybe you'll enjoy that more! Have a great week!

Hey Heather, just checking in to see how you are doing? How was your 4th of July? Are you having a nice summer! TTYL!

Hi there, I just came across your profile from the Michigan bandsters board, and I thought I'd stop in and say hi! Congrats on your weight loss, you look amazing! You should post before pictures so we can see what a difference you've made!!!!

I'm glad that you are doing well. Oh, are you having the left shoulder gas pains? Don't worry it will go away soon. I know, that was really hard for me. I hope everything goes ok for you! I'm doing well thanks!

Meredith! How did it go???

Yeah I think I'll hold off on swimming for a bit. My boyfriend and I are going away next weekend so maybe I'll be able to swim then if the doc gives me the ok! CONGRATS on your 55! That's amazing! And wow, 18/20 tops, that's great, I am still in a 22/24 top because my boobs and stomach are big, lol. I'm jealous. I have gone down in sizes, it's amazing to me! I am in 22 jeans, some 20's too! I know what you mean, it will be so odd to not shop in plus sizes! I can't wait either. I hear some people say that even after they've lost all the weight, they still head to the plus size section because of instinct. I hope that doesn't happen! Congrats to you, you are doing so awesome! Have a great one!

LUCKY! I'm so jealous! I love swimming and don't know anyone with a pool. Hope you have a blast! Enjoy the weather and the weekend! How are things going with your loss? I'm doing well, I've lost 29 so far and my first fill is Monday! Although, one drawback, I had to go to the er Monday because one of my incisions was bleeding and painful. I had a small abscess but it's healing now, I'm on antibiotics. Otherwise I am doing great. Hope you have a beautiful day!

Hey Heather, just checking in to see how you are doing???

Ok so 2 more months then you will get an answer? I did have a stress test because my family has a history of heart disease. But I didn't have to do the exercise portion. Good luck, let me know how it goes!

Thanks Linda! It's actually 29 now because I weighed myself this morning and lost 3 more...Can't wait to make it to 30! How are things for you? Any progress with surgery?

Hey Meredith! Wow, so the process has begun huh? How are you feeling physically since starting the liquids? I bet you are getting nervous, but don't worry, everything will go great. It'll be over before you know it. Things are going great for me. I've lost 10 pounds so far since surgery, which I'm happy about because people say most people don't lose much the first month until their first fill. So all total, 26 pounds. I already feel alot better physically and mentally. It was hard to get adjusted to smaller portions, but now that I'm back on normal foods, it's not as hard at all. I'm exercising every day and feeling great! Don't worry, you'll be doing great too! Let me know how everything goes for you.

Wow, sounds like you had a lot of fun. Your weekends always sound so fun and adventerous. I'm jealous! You are probably right, it's probably lean muscle mass building up. Have you measured yourself? That's one thing I haven't done, but I bet if you did, you've probably lost alot of inches. Don't worry, I'm sure the weight will come off soon! I lost 2.5 today. Pretty good. I was happy. My weekend was fine, but pretty boring! Especially in comparison to yours!
