  1. Hi everyone! I havent posted in forever! But with our 1 year coming up I thought I would check in to see how everyone was doing. I would LOVE to start getting on here more to keep myself more motivated! Ive lots a total of 85 lbs and Im doing fun things again like wakeboarding and I can run several miles and I dont let my weight stop me ANYMORE! I feel like that was what the band was supposed to help me do (get my life back) But like all the rest of us its SUCH a struggle! I had NO clue it was going to be this difficult. I exercise everyday I try to not eat bad. But like someone was saying when you know that icecream goes down easy, no chewing and chewing and chewing and it taste delicous it become the easy out! I think overall though we are doing what we set out to do and if we keep it up eventually we will all be where we want to be! CONGRATS EVERYONE ON 1 YEAR!!!!!!!!!
  2. She will, tell megan McCall Sink sent you and she will take good care of ya! Even if you cant get the surgery she is fantastic as a weight consler. She has been there she knows the thoughts and the patterns and she puts things out there you would never think of! And remember if you get it or if you dont get it, its going to be a struggle either way so get your mind right and you will do just fine!!
  3. Hey, I go to Hedi at surgical weightloss center in st. peters for my post op and she is AMAZING!!! I got 7.5 in my band in only 3 fills..... LOVE HER! If you want to know so about mexico. Look up Megan davis she is a weight loss consuler who got lap band done in mexico! She is located in sunset hills right now!
  4. Opps forgot to post yesterday! I lost 2 pounds this week.... Im 3 pounds from my goal so I guess I wont be making my goal at christmas but maybe by the week after!! Everyone is doing good thus far through the holiday! I hope we all report back on monday after christmas with good stuff!!! GOOD LUCK and HAPPY HOLIDAY!
  5. Hey everyone! I had another good week! Lost 4 pounds! 224lbs
  6. Monday post time! I lost 7 pounds this week :thumbup: Im 228 right now!
  7. Hey Ladies! I havent checked in in a while.... But things are going ok. The holiday was REALLY hard! But I made it through and got back to the gym two times today! Ive lost a total of 42 pounds since sept. 2nd and I have 7cc in my 10 cc band...... THe lady that does my fills is AWESOME...super agrressive. Ive had 3 fills and with that Im at 7cc. She tells me I can come in every two weeks and get more if I dont feel restriction. She does it under floroscopy so she can tell if it is to tight. Does anyone feel like they have to do SSSSOOOO much themseleves? Sometimes I feel like Im doing it all on my own. That there isnt a tool there helping me. But then my friend who knows makes commits about how I didnt eat barely anything and I think maybe Im just used to not eating as much and I have more restriction than i think. Everyone is doing great! So pround of all of you! I went back and read everyones post!!
  8. You guys did great not gaining! I managed to eat enough to gain 3 pounds this week I had an extended holiday with friends in town and eating out since thursday. Im going to the gym today and Im not coming out till Christmas!! Next week will be the opposite direction!

  10. So are well all reporting in our weightloss tomorrow? And all the other monday's until chirstmas?
  11. Ya Im so excited.... Im recently havin trouble losing more than 2 pounds a week and Im working harder than I have ever worked. BUt Im starting to come to grips with it and its way better than gaining 2 lbs a week! Im excited girls.... How are you guys going to reach this goal??
  12. Oh girl Im in..... I am seeing my family at thanksgiving and then I wont see them again till christmas.. Ive almost reached my goal for thanksgiving but Im going to want to lose 20 more before christmas..... that is a really big goal but I think I can do it... we will have to keep eachother super motivated!
  13. HEY EVERYONE! I havent been on here in quite a while! I wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing and see if I was on track with everyone else. Banded 9/2/09 and Ive lost a total of 37 pounds. For some reason I feel like im getting no where..... I know that sounds sssooo silly when I say it out loud. I think its bc my losing has come to a hault. I was working out sssssooo hard last week and I only lost 2 pounds as compaired to my be able to lose 5 pounds a week and the week before only 1 pound. What does everyone this about this... r u all going through the same thing?
  14. HEY EVERYONE!! I havent been on it a while but it looks like everyone is doing well! Today is my 3 week bandaversariy! I got my first fill today of 5cc in a 10cc band. Im on liquids today but tomorrow I get to go back to a normal diet. Im really nervous about the first time I eat with the restriction but SUPER EXCITED!!!
