nat- we need a kick in the butt sometimes I know I do from time to tme. I am going to the gym today and went the day b4 yesterday so I really need to be accountable for going to the gym thing ... I am trying to go 4 times a wk. you ladies kick my butt If I don't he he.... steph- the candy bar the are so tempting and melt in your mouth I know hard to resist remember my milky way story joe good luck on reaching your goal u can do it giggles - good luck to you as well lisa- do not worry about joining late i am so happy u are here to kay bman and sweethot and everyone i missed keep up the great work we are only just beginning the journey that will change our lives 4 ever that is a good catch phrase I may use that okay bye everyone going to the gym

jon- thanks for saying my hubby is cute. you are so right on looking the same on the outside as we feel i look in the mirror from time to time,and i say who is this fat girl.... i am so happy, i am on the right track. oh guys, i went to a birthday party last night my nephews and anyhow like i have said before everyone knows i am banded, and when and all so when i got there everyone was like oh khristina u are lookin awesome. i was like thanks, but i have only lost like ten lbs since surgery most people said oh man is that all, but to be honest i think it was planned because i can not tell a difference, and even though i know it is prob because i see myself daily i still don't think a 10 lb weight loss on my size person is noticeable, but i took the comment and said thanks. on to the 2nd part of my story my sis in law had gastric bypass in dec of 05,and she has went from a size 28 to a size 12.well she kind of called me out last night, and said khristina what size do u wanna be by christmas 07 i was like maybe a 12 ,but i will have to work my butt off to get there and she said well u started at a 20 and a 12 isn't far away i think u should defintly be there by dec. i was like remember i won't lose weight as fast as u she was like tell me again why u had lapband instead of bypass. i was like the health risks amoung other things. she said oh well i have got 90 percent of my health risks gone, but u still have to worry about erosions and slips not sure you made the right decision,and it pissed me off to be frank with yall i hate someone talking negative to me in a crowded room.i love my sis in law but she is a true butt sometimes she rarely thinks before she speaks we are gym partners and it seems like she would support me more but i think she is afraid i will lose more than her b-man i am with u i have not lost anymore weight in about 5 days i am mad. steph I am happy to hear someone else doesn't count protein i know i should but i don't That is one of my goals this yr..

Great job and congrats

vabandster - don't feel bad if u are following your doc's advice I think u should be fine bandiva-perxoide makes your skin not grow back over the open wounds as well my dad fell about two months ago and his day nurse was treating his wound with perxoide and not telling anyone he fell and I noticed it and we went to the doc his wound would have healed within a wk with no treatment vs what she was doing so wanted to let u know what my dads doc said

I wish my fills were that soon I will be envying u guys in Jan. oh yeah the 500 lb challenge seems awesome

I get mine on feb 6th my doc makes me wait 7 wks I am also a 18th of dec bandster welcome all

I am eleven days out and feel pretty normal I hope u soon feel better

1. work out at least 3 times a wk 2. lose at least 50 lbs because I am now banded 3. clean out my closet 4. eat what is good for me 5. shop less 6. start saving for the Bahamas
