No I just look at them crazy like they be looking at me. ive told a few co workers but i just dont thnk its everyone's bussines. There are 20 of them that have had gastric by pass, along with a lot of difficulty. Whats going to happen is someone is going to catch me on a bad day and Im going to flip out on them.

Ive wanted to get up to two work outs daily,I just cant force mself to get up any earlier then I do 5:30am. i have to be to work at 6:45am and I work 12hr shifts. Well you turning up the pace I exspect to see some progress pics.

So how is the camp going.

Hi stranger have'nt talked with you in a while, I hope all is going well with you on your journey.

Yes I take two pieces of hair (wet) along with some Carols' Daughter lockn butter and do a head full of twist I normally wear it twisted up a few days. I do not set under the blow dryer, i dont put any heat to my hair. Some of my girlfriends who are also natural set under the blow dryer. I didnt realize you were natural.

Just keep being consistent and the weight will fall off. When are you going to post more pics.

Yea I have'nt been shopping since being banded, I told myself that I had to reach a goal of -50lbs before I go. I allowded a friend to talk me into meeting her at the mall, when she went into the dressing room I picked up a few items..... just to try on, and she looked at me like I was crazy b/c I had picked up a pair of jeans, size 20. I didnt even believe I couldnt wear them until I tried them on. Well it really makes me feel a little better to know that Im not alone when it comes to looking into the mirror. Im starting to wonder if my goal of 175 is a little too small for me, Ive moved mine up to 200 for now. When I saw your pic last nite I screamed I couldnt believe that your still coming down. Thxs for the compliment on the wedding pic

Oh I do whats called a 2 strand twist then finger it out.

yea I think Im going to have to say something b/c Im tired of people walking up to me talking about diets and dieting. they dont have the nerve to ask me what Im doing to loose weight.

I promise you its all worth it. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I have but I dont know how much b/c I only get on the scale at Dr's appt. I have an appt on the 29th so I will be posting pics and weight then. Ive been tripping for the past few days, rumors are going around my job that I had to have had gastric by pass, being that Im coming down so fast. However I look in the mirror and still see the same old VK. Its been driving me crazy. i can see the difference in my face, pics and clothes (inches) but thats it. Did you check out my 2 month pics

Whats going on havent heard from you in a while.

Hope all is well with you that pre op diet. I promise you its worth it, stay encourged ,look forward to see those progress pics.

Congrats I will keep you in my prays. As for not being able to eat like before, its a mental thing, I conditioned myself for the change, so I havent had too many issues with being depressed about things I can no longer eat, now those 1st few weeks after surgery I went through what I called a stage of mourning for food, but that same determination I had to get banded is the same determination that got me threw the mourning stage and it will get you threw also. Good luck

Thxs for the encougement I guess I have been being really hard on myself, it just drives me crazy not being able to see it like everyone else. The funny thing is when they were talkn to me about how people go threw, not being able to see the change, I thought it was crazy.

Thanks for the encougement. Im still tying to get adjusted to the changes I put my clothes on and they falling off of me, my co workers spreading rumors that I had gastric bypass but I look in the mirror and see the same old me, its driving me crazy. I can see the change only in pics only however I will get over this. I love my band

Thanks for the encourgement Its just driving me crazy that my clothes are falling off me people at work are spreading rumors that I had gastric bypass bc Im coming down so quick but I look in the mirror and see the same old me. I can look at pictures and see the change. Overall getting banded was the best thing I could have done for myself and my family. So do you have your date yet.

Thanks for the encougement Ive been tripping for the past few days I can only see change in pics, and its driving me crazy I know that Im doing well, I just dont understand how when I look in the mirror I see the old me.

I dont really know whats going on with me my clothes are falling off me ,Ive lost close to 40lbs but I just cant see it and its driving me crazy. As far as everything else Im good I enjoy working out, Ive been eating 3meals since day 1. I guess I just might need to go to a group meeting. When I look at pics of myself I see the difference but when I look in the mirror, its crazy. Overall Im loving my band. You Look great in your pics how have things been going with you.
