What do I need to do.. I want to be at 220 for Thanksgiving to see my family... Thanksgiving ticker

Congrats to you.. I was banded June 3. I have three goals. I have 37 pounds more to go to reach my first goal.. Which is to get to 200 pounds...

Well for now it is lol... All those commericals on tv about how easy it is LIE!!!.. I could not do it without the support of my friends on here and in every day life and my family.. I don't know how any one could keep it a secret and not go insane. I started at 273 on the day of my surgery and am now 237.. 37 more pounds to lose to get to my first big goal. oh and in the past month I have lost 6 inches I found out today. So that helps with the only losing 6 pounds I think in one month.. :thumbup:

I am at 34 pounds but going insane... I know women have this time of the month and I have to have more self control than normal but it does not matter I still gained.. 2 POUNDS! yeah I know that is nothing.. but between my emotions and the stress of the economy it makes things worse.. I gain then I lose I gain then I lose half this month I am going insane and then I am ok but it is a huge rolar coaster... I want to get down 100 pounds so the doctor can see about getting me pregnant.. I think that is what is killing me the most. So yes me getting my monthly about the same time each month is actually a good good thing because I have had problems... SEE WHAT I MEAN?? how can I keep my emotions stable? I would love to lose 140 to 150 though.. that would be completely fun for me. Especially If I can't get prego.. at least I will finally be thin. I know I am venting/babbling but I just needed to. Thanks for reading/listening to me freak out. I feel better putting this in writing even though I am still emotional and not sure how I feel.. I think I am just going to be more strict with myself to make some habits over the next month and see if that helps me to lose a little faster. I know I can and still be healthy. I mean 12 to 15 a month would be nice... oh and I am so crabby today too :glare: :mad::thumbdown::frown::eek::confused::sad:

I am so happy for you and can't wait to be hot as well so I get it

Ok so I did my weigh in and I lost three pounds. A total of 21 pounds since the date of the surgery.. and I am starting to really see it.. for the first time in forever I went to Disneyland and bought and extra large shirt and wore it.. I am going to add it to my pictures.. I know that it is slow compared to some but I am just so excited it is coming off and so excited for the friends I have made in here.. I also just want to pray for those having a really tough time.. Lord please honor their hard work and help them and be their peace.. Love you all :confused:

It is a long process.. but I will tell you that it is completely worth it.. I hope and pray the best for you.. and this place is awesome with support and answering questions you are having.. Jessi

Ok are you on completely clear liquids.. Because I was able to have Carnation Breakfast drink and sugar free pudding too which helped.. How are you getting your Protein? Jessi

:thumbup: ok I feel like I am hungry all the time.. even when I know I am full.. I have been trying to drink water and ignore the feelings but sometimes they keep me up at night.. But then again I am very gassy.. have been since the afternoon I got back from my surgery.. they say to avoid gassy foods but I am beginning to think what is the difference.. maybe it will help me.. I don't know if it is because of my IBS or what... I am happy about the fact that I have been blessed to be able to get the lapband and have lost 17.5 pounds so far.. I just am nervous I will stop loosing or gain...........
