Thanks for adding me! My surgery is tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed:P are you already banded?

Hi! I friended you. We were banded around the same time. You have lost so much weight! Is that all from being banded or did you do a 6 month diet beforehand? Anyways, congrats on your awesome progress! I'm hoping to make into onederland by thanksgiving!

hey willow! how are things going for you??

Hey thanks for the encouraging words! I've been flip flopping between 224 and 228 for the past 5 days now and I'm getting so frustrated. Frustrated because I just came off of a 5 day liquid diet (my doc does 3 days clear liquids, 2 days full liquids, following a fill) and lost a lot, but have put at least 3 back on now that I'm back on solid foods (this morning I was at about 228 even). And I still don't feel like I have such great restriction. Anyways, any advice that you have, I'd love to hear!! I really want to be a fast loser lol.

Hi! We were banded a few months apart. We seem to be on a similar track. We've been posting in the same threads, so just wanted to say hi

Hi - I friended you after reading your post that you wrote after seeing the doctor for the first time. I see you're almost down 100 pounds and it looks like you just had your surgery. I'm glad that you decided to do this and I am sure, with your great attitude, that you will do so well!! Did everything go okay with your surgery? Hoping very good things for you!

Hi Wren Glad to be friends on here!

Hey! Sorry Ive been MIA! Im doing well. Its been about 11 days since surgery and I don't have too much pain at this point (just near the port). I am scheduled for an adjustment on July 28. My biggest problem (never thought Id say this!) is that I'm only eating about 400 calories a day and I think I've hit a plateau now (scale is going back and forth between 253-254 for the past 3-4 days). I may need to up my calorie intake. I also need to start going to the gym now. How about you??

THAT IS WONDERFUL! congratulations and kudos to your firm abs haha! So did you stay overnight in the hospital or did you leave at 6PM the same day?? Anyhow, I'm so glad everything was great for you. I will let you know how mine goes when I come home next week! Good luck with your first few days with your new band!

Hey! Im doing alright. The pre-op diet is getting harder. I'm really craving something to chew. My surgery is June 11th and Im getting excited! how are you doing?

Hi! I sent you a friend request. We were banded by the surgeon. Hope everything is going well for you!

Onederland finally!! So happy and grateful to finally be here!

Aw hey thanks! That made me happy I noticed also that there are a lot of grumpy ladies on here! I feel like there are more of them than there used to be. But your comment made me happy, so thanks!!
