Hi i just wanted to say thank you...i went on youtube and watched your videos and it was very enlightening and motivating it really made me rethink my situation. Like you im a food addict to and when i got banded i felt like i lost my best friend. I can relate to everything you said and i have been struggling alot with my decision. I now have a better understanding of everything and im looking forward to what my future holds. Thanks so much!

Yea I hear ya it is very hard...in my mind i knew how it was gonna be but doing it is a different story. Ive lost about 20lbs and havent lost anything in a few weeks so its discouraging but im gonna just keep on trucking and make good food choices...cant wait to see pics. Im here if you need me.

Wow 34lbs is amazing when are you gonna put some more pics up girl...i want to see....how are you doing?

Hey meredith so how's life? How are you doing? Things are REALLY slow going for me....kinda sucks but eventually it will come off..i still have no restriction damn summer vacations but i get my fill on the 6th so hopefully i will lose more. How about you any weightlotss?

Hey there! Sorry things have been nuts to much to tell on here..ill probably call ya soon. How are you?

So sorry for your loss..i know how hard losing a parent is. I got banded june 10th and do ok...i dont get my first fill till august though which sucks cuz im barely losing weight. Oh well though I just need to move...im on vacation in maine right now and its sooooo hard not to eat cuz i can pretty much tolerate anything and i have no restriction so im sure you can understand my pain. Well im here if you need me..talk to you later.

HaHa! Me too...eating everything except i havent even tried a piece of bread. I can eat tortillas though so i make turkey rolls in it. I cant get my first fill till august 6 which blows cux my surgeon and I are going on vacation...not together lol but at around the same time. Keep me updated have you lost much weight?

Yes its normal it will subside eventually...how goes the eating? Im doing well but really need to start exercising so i can have optimum weight loss.

So I just saw you pics you look amazing..i was just banded about a month ago..hopefully i can get some great results too.

Hey Hey how ya doing? Are you better now? Im doing good just taking it one day at a time. So what kinda stuff are you eating and are you hungry? I cant wait for my first fill....i feel like im eating to much but im hungry ya know.

Im doing good so far. I acutally have been able to eat pretty much everything except smaller portions. I have tried rice or actual bread but I ate a tortilla roll up turkey sand. and a piece of veggie pizza and had no problems. My weightloss halted once I started solids but once I start exercising more it will kick back up. Ive lost 18lbs total which my nutrionist says is good cuz my starting weight was 216 so almost 10%. Well I hope all goes well with your gall bladder surgery..and oh i take a womens multivitamin and im gonna but the stuff at gnc for your hair and nails so hopefully i wont lose to much cuz i dont have much to lose. Keep in touch girlie..will be thinking of you.

Wow mexico huh..i can see your concerns. I actually was banded right here in KS. Im lucky my insurance covered my whole surgery. Its going well so far I have lost a total of 18 lbs so far and it came off in like 3 weeks then my weight loss stalled. My nutrionist said its a good start though...my starting weight was 216 so it was almost 10% and thats what they look for. Its a little discouraging but once I can workout hard it will start to melt off. I cant wait. Well keep me posted on what you do and I am here to chat if you need to.

Ive lost 18 lbs total...its slow but going.

Hey there! Its going slow but sure..since I started solid foods and I have no restriction im not losing a ton of weight but once I get restriction and really start exercising it should start to come off. So whats your time frame of being banded? Do you have a long time to wait?

Well I hope you have a great week looking forward to hearing from you.
