Thanks guys!!! keep up the good work!

Today I went to my 2nd nutrition visit out of 4.... and I had lost two pounds since the last visit 1 month ago. wasn't expecting that at all! I just got put on blood pressure medicine last Thursday.....not good, but I guess it's an official co-morbidity....LOL Here's to hoping that the next two visits will get here quickly and then surgery and then maybe no more blood pressure medicine. Hope all is going well for all of you!! Take Care!

awesome post!

I just feel down. I haven't had the surgery yet...no issues there. I am just down in the dumps this week. Just needed an outlet for the blues i guess. maybe having some anxiety about all of these life changing decisions, but I know they are the right ones for me to make. UGH......blah, blah, blah. tomorrow will be a better day:blush:

on bended knee praying for you and your mother!

Keep it up!!!! that is great!

I haven't had the surgery yet...hoping for sept. 09. However, I totally relate to many of the above stories. I have been overweight/obese for such a long time. I am 5'5" and 250(highest)- current 242 and wear a size 18/20. I remember weighing 140 in college and thinking that was horrible (and a size 10). I have a hard time imagining that size again, much less a smaller size at that same weight......I am hopeful and praying every day for successful outcomes. Everyone keep up the good work. Glad to have this forum to go to for inspiration and motivation.

Love your blog! I can totally relate. I am hoping for surgery in Sept. I too have the daydreams of what it would be like to be 100 lbs. lighter, taking the stairs and it not hurting, and eating to live! Here's to life altering changes that we deserve and that we can make!!!! keep in touch.

AWESOME!!!!! you look terrific. way to go!!!!

so glad to hear that you are home and doing better!!! Wow...what a journey this has been. Hopefully now you can move on forward. take care!!!!!

oh...I am so, so sorry!!! that is definitely stressful on so many levels. Here is a big hug!!! take care

that is so true....it is definitely one of the things I fear and welcome at the same time once I have the surgery. I don't think i have ever really truly looked at what it is that makes me eat/gain weight.....although i have a few ideas. It will be an interesting yet difficult journey. I am looking forward to keeping a blog of the journey and being able to communicate with those that are going through the same things. Let's definitely keep in touch.... Friends in this journey are a great benefit adn help. talk with you soon!!!!

I hear you! I think this particular blog was a good way to open up!! I think you are on the right track because you are truly thinking through all of this and growing from the experience. Please know that though all of us may be miles and miles away....we/I am here for you. You need to talk you just message me anytime!!!!!! Keep up the good work- take it day by day. 40 pounds is awesome. YOU are important and doing great!!!! much love and positivity being sent your way!!!!!!!!!

hey there- I haven't had the band yet, but I am so sorry to hear of all your troubles. I live in the Dallas area- the surgeon I will be going to takes on patients that have had bands from other areas and whose docs don't help them (I believe.). maybe check it out and/or call their offic.....Nick Nicholson- at Nicholson Clinic in Plano. I don't know if they can help but it might be worth a shot. I will keep you in my prayers!!!!!

Please hang in there- those quiet times are the hardest. Loneliness is so difficult...I struggle with that too. Please know you aren't truly alone in any of this- if you are praying then you must have a faith- go to that, believe in that, trust in that.... You have this forum to go to...you do have your friends and supporters. Just take it one day at a time- slow and steady wins the race. (I know those things may sound trite or cliche....but it is so true right now). May God bless you and continue to watch over you. You can message me anytime. (I haven't had the band yet- hoping to in Sept. - but i struggle with what you are talking about right now and it is one of my fears after the band too.)- take care

You just keep on keepin on!!! New day tomorrow- I will be thinking of you and hoping it is better. take care

Hang in there!!! Just keep on keeping on....and it will all start to work. I will keep you in my thoughts.

you know....I have only lost about 2#.....the nutritionist wanted me to focus only on chewing my food slowly and not drinking while eating. She told me not to worry about any other goals for now. So, we will see what she says when I go back the first part of July. I think we will proably set some "food cut back goals". Good luck to you too!!!! It's a good journey, and like I said - one day at a time. thanks for the support. : )

....Psych eval done!!! Now all that is left is 2 1/2 more months of supervised diet, then a visit with the surgeon and then hopefully a date for surgery will be set. Yippee! one day at a time.:confused:
