Well...last may I came and I left, lol! i did update my pictures though! It seems like the people I used to chat w/ most on here aren't on here much anymore! =(

Hey everybody! I'm back!!! I haven't been on in FOREVER! But I'm going to try to keep up with this site again for awhile! Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey hot mama~ You need to put some pictures up here and show everybody how amazing you look! Neat that I found you on here. I haven't been on here in 6 mths with the support I get from the lapband blog community!

Hey woman!~ You should upload new pics of you and your family! How is it alll going???

Hey!!! I know a lot of younger people with it. YOu should check out my blog. YOu can look at my followers on the right side of my blog and those are ALL people who have been banded. There is a huge lapband blog community!!!

hey! How are you doing? I wanted to check up and see if you had new pictures. How are things?

Thanks for complimenting my shape! I'm lovin' my shape b/c my waist has gone in so much. Thankful for my big booty!!! haha! How much have you lost?

I'm doing good as well. Glad to be at this point and thankful for my band! Have you not added post op pictures? I haven't gotten on the June Journey's board recently, how much have you lost?

See I could only imagine the pain to be comparable to my c-section w/ my second kid. did you have a c-section w/ yours? It was painful. Not able to stand straight up for awhile. I think about a wk and a half out I was feelin' a lot more normal. I will eventually get one when I'm sure I'm done having kids b/c my kids and weight gain destroyed my lower stomach. So far though I am still holding out hope it MIGHT bounce back! haha!

Giiiiiiirl I'm doing fabulous! I love my band! This whole process has been up and down and up and stall and up and down! It's been a mental and emotional roller coaster figuring out my issues and working through them. But where I'm at today is, down to 238 lbs and already a size 18, that was a shock to me! At this pace I could be a 200 lb size 14 chick! That'd be pretty awesome!

That is awesome you recovered so fast. Day 2 for me I was off the pain meds and day 3 I was back to takin' care of my 2 boys by myself. I'm excited to keep up w/ your progress.

You should take some new pictures! I bet you'd see a big difference then. I'm sure you are doing fabulous. It's more slow and steady for the majority of us, including myself. And sprunger is beyond stoked w/ slow and steady!

How have you been? I haven't been on here in awhile. Were you banded in June like me?

omg I just read your update above and you just got banded a week ago? Awesome! How are you doing?

In response to your comment on my food pic... I do not drink protein shakes or supliments. My nutritionist recommends you get all you need from your food, and lucky for me I LOVe high protein foods. I'm a picky eater so the only meat I eat is chicken or turkey, no salads, only steamed veggies, and I rarely eat fruit. I just try to fill up on good stuff, even soups if I'm in a hurry. Watching the amount of food is key. A lot of busy people, like myself, carry around a container that is 1-2 cups so they can quickly put food in there and eat out of the container so they know they don't go over the limit. Your eyesballs are usually always bigger than your stomach! good luck!!!

Oh BTW, down 23 lbs and 45.5 inches now. 2nd fill was last week (total 7cc in band) and I finally have pretty darn good restriction.

I am alive. I havne't been on here much lately b/c I found great support w/ about 10 lapbandster woman on blogspot.com It's great to have that as a support group but I do need to get on here more often.

I'm following your blog now! Update update!!!!

Thanks for the comment and support! You're awesome! Pace yourself before surgery.

hEY! Good luck w/ orientation. I'm doing ok but you haven't heard much b/c I am not losing weight. I've been at the same "lbs" since 2 wks ago but I am losing inches, all over. Down like 41 inches total and my work outs have gone from 20 minutes to 90 minutes at a time. I try to do 3-4x a week, so the pounds thing is annoying. Bladder issues right now on my personal site, just working through it daily!!!

I saw your message of concern on the twenties board. It's been like 5 days since you did that, are you doing any better?? Feeling any better?

Awesome! thanks for the tips. I will have to stick to the exercise daily b/c I'm doing good w/ the food. Can't wait until my first fill!

Thank you so much! My boys are the world, they rock! Oh and the star tattoo, it's insane how much i love it! I did it so that if (and I hope I do) have more kids I can add stars down my back!

Well that is lucky that he's your man! I work right there so maybe I can do that sometime when I'm ready to up my workout. I'm setting a high goal to run a 5K in august so maybe I could come in and he could show me what to do to make that possible!!! I thought Awatukee was west valley??

Thanks for the tattoo comment. It's called a flip script. You could probably google it. But it's a site where you put in 2 words and it makes 1 word, very nifty! I just printed it out and took it to my tattoo artist!

In your photo album you mention a trainer? What is it you're doing for exercise? I'm about 2 1/2 wks post op and the last week and a half I've just been walking 30 mins a day, but I see a difference. FYI-You are super beautiful as it is! I bet you've always wished people complimented your body like they do your face!!! Oh yeah I'm in PHnx too, Mesa!
