hey girl! We talked before once and I just wanted to let you know I saw your pics again today and you have done SSSOOO awesome! Such an inspiration girlfriend!

AAAAHHH (thats me freaking out) You are doing ssssssoooo good!!! Whats the total? Lets here your secrets? Ive lost a total of 42 but my body isnt lookin as good as yours!

yeah I know it is a big pain! Im starting weight was 276 and Im am currently 233. 10 before and the rest after the surgery.

THanks that sweet! I got denied because I did not weight enough in 2007. First time in my life I was under a weight a needed Ironic! I sent in pictures and letters from my M.D about all the things I tried and magically they approved me! Have you been banded?

THanks! It gets so much better after the fill..... U will notice a big difference on how much you eat.... its the being hungry shortly after that Im currently dealing with. But you will get used to eat. I didnt realize how little I ate until I went to dinner with a friend and she was like umm arent you hungry you barley at and I felt like I just stuffed my face! So, it will get better!

I got very lucky with both my docs being aggressive. THe surg. put 3cc in and then my fill doc on the first fill took me up to 5. Two weeks later she put me up to 5.7cc. I think I need one more little twic to really get at that perfect spo. But Im eating all normal foods so its nice. How r things with you?

I think about that.....things will change for me too.... already started changing. I need to learn how to approach it the right way rather than taking all the attention in......But the way I see it is hopefully that will finally be a good problem to have.

girl you are lookin so good!!! I just read you long thing about how you did it! Im losing weight but I need to amp up my dieting. Im doing great with working out but the eating is where i could change and lose a lot fast....so thanks for the ideas....and do you see anyone? an nutritionist or therapist?

Everything is going well so far. I was hoping for some faster weight loss and a little less ups and downs. But I had my first fill a week ago and I get my second fill next week.... Im really thinking sweet spot is going to help. I dont really feel restriction right now and I only eat a cup of food so just after that I am starving again. But Im excited that at least I am going down!! And like you keep reminding myself it takes time.

Everything is going well so far. Im dealing with eating mushie foods but ready for normal ones! Other than that Im doing good. I get my fill wed of next week and the nurse who does it says she likes t be aggressive on the first fill so Im hoping for some good results after that! I just got back to the gym yesteray and did ok with that so that made me happy that I could get back to exercising to hopefully speed the process up!!

Hey I saw your story and it sounded like mine!! How have you been doing since the band? I got banded Sept. 2....I hit a stand still with weight loss after I came off the liquids... hopefully it gets better?

I get my first fill on sept. 23! Im looking forward to it bc Im not sore and feeling bad anymore and mushie food is NO FUN. I also dont have any restriction so its getting hard. Not to mention dead stop in the weightloss. So that fill is going to be nice!

Im feeling great today. After I got past 3 days post op I was pretty good. Im finally getting hungry now and that is the hardest part is not eating much of anything. But it did make me realize I could eat way less than I have been my whole life!!

Things are going well so far! That whole thing of not havin an appetite after surgery was true UNTIL today. Ive been hungry ALL day but Ive been controlling it with sipping on water and protien shakes....... I just finished my week of clear liquid now Im on a week of "full liquid" soups and shake and such. THEN I go to pureed which is really no different than full luquid and its not till after that I can do mushies. So its gonna be a long road to real foods. But I must say it has been nice that Ive lost 10lbs in 6 days!!!

WOW I just looked at your pics you look amazing! I just got banded on sept 2nd and one of the things I can wait to do is go horsebacking riding again! So I liked the pic of you on the horse.......any secrets or things that really helped you get thru it all?

things are going good! Im still pretty sore! I ate some pudding today which helped me feel better bc I had only been eating popcicles and apple jucie and water.....how r u??

I just saw your bikini pic!!!!!!! you look awesome! Im so excited for you. I am getting banded in ONE day and your just reminded me why Im doing it.......so tell your secrets to making the band work? Im gonna need to advice!

hey girl! you look so good... im getting banded in two weeks got any advice? I saw you were from windsor I actually have several friends from windsor!

I dont know what they are going to put me on. I dont have anything for pre op diet. But I think its just a few days liquid before I can go to mushie foods!

Thanks! thats encouraging i will def let you know how the surgery goes!

hey! you are a total inspiration! I am having my surgery 3 weeks from today so I need the encourging pics from other ppl so I dont get scared!

I know right!!! I cant wait! Thats good that it is going so well for you right after surgery! I get nervous reading all the stories. I only have three weeks left!

That crazy Ive never met anyone with my name before! How is your banding goin? You are very newly banded!

I know you get this all the time but you look awesome! I am having surgery Sept. 2 and you are a real inspiration! It makes me really happy to see you didnt have any skin hanging I am sssooo nervous about that....what do you think lead to you having such sucess?

Hey Meagan! How long ago did you get your band? I get mine sept 2~ everyone keeps talking about how easy it is going to be bc I am young....what do you think about that? How is everything going for you? and advice?
