Hey every1! 10 months ago I made a video called "Haitian Big Girl 4 Bow Wow". I made it for this "Big Girls contest" that my fav rapper (Bow Wow) was throwing. And ofcourse, I won it! :biggrin: I recieved a spa treatment courtesy of Bow and I used that on my birthday. So far I have 10 thousand views! In general dats not alot but its alot to me. Because I was banded on July 17, I will be able to do my "Haitian Big Girl loses weight" video lol. I hope to finish that by May 2010! So if anybody has a chance, please check out my current video. Feel free to rate and comment and pass it around to your friends. Thanks and good luck on your weight loss journey Link below

I find that happening to me around 4pm! Im always tired and neep to take a nap...I could be doing NOTHING all day but around 4pm I jus need 2 nap....Even when I go class, walk around, take long trips, I need to nap by 4pm...I think its because of lack of nutrition or something

Yay I got my first fill today! :thumbup: im on liquids den movin on to soft foods n then solids..if this fill isnt enough den I'll be getting another 1 in 3 weeks

LOL @ ur story..I cant wait 2 get my fill tomorrow!

LMAOOO Im def gonna start using that "ARE YOU SUPPOST 2 BE EATING THAT?!"...LOL thats gonna b my answer 4 now on lol

lol..once u tell 1 person its like ur tellin the world! lol

yea were almost the same date! good luck 2 u..Im sure we'll do great

Yea I tell ppl that I wanna weight 160 and they look at me like im insane...im 5'8 how much do u want me to weigh? I didnt get the lap band to weight 200 pounds!

LOL I feel u

omg u look so gorgous! I cant wait to drop all this weight! lol good job girl

lol Thanks Jennifer! n congratz

LMAO same with my mom...at times she'll be like "ok dont eat that, eat this instead"...or "your eating too much" but then later she'll order KFC and give me fried chicken

Thing with me is that Im younger, so when older family members say ignorant things I cant really disrespect them. I'll roll my eyes and say something and keep it moving. But when my younger cousin or sister says stuff then I'll just go off. So its kinda different, theres just no explaining anything cuz the older 1's think they know it all

I didnt tell everybody..Everybody else told everybody lol

good thing u told ur counselor...u can always talk to them when u have problems

I honestly dont think u need to tell your school about ur band. The only person that would know would be the nurse and Im sure she will have that on file along with your medical history..And Im sure ur doctor can write up a note to ur gym teacher to let him or her know that u cannot do certain activites until a certain period of time

Thanks..thats why I love comming on this board cuz everybody on here can relate and understand. Cause were all going thru this together. But people on the outside dont see that, they see strict things. And the worse part is how they all tend to look at my body. I can wear something today that makes me look small so they all congratulate me but then the next week I wear something that makes me look a lil bit bigger and someone will say "for some reason u look bigger" or "looks like u gained 3 pounds!" and that just kills. It makes me feel like im in jail and im on a surveillance camara

LMAO...I feel u cuz even my boyfriend does dat to me at times! I havent had mc donalds in like 2months so I wanted small fries and 4 piece chicken nuggets...So when I got to his house with my food he looks at me like I have 4 eyes! Im like what?! I cant eat mc donalds?! This isnt going to make me gain any weight..I use 2 eat mc donalds almost every day (large fries 2 mc chickens and a small drink) but now I got small fries and chicken nuggets (which is nothing 2 me) and hes having a heart attack. Atleast I changed the SIZE of my meal lmaoo be happy about that, dont exspect me to just give up mc donalds for the rest of my damn life...I wont eat it everyday or every week, only once in a blue moon (maybe once every 2 months)...but dont beat me up when that day comes...DAMN lol my doc told me I can eat things like dat once in a while in small portions so why u acting like Im banned from all the good foods? lol

yeah I always tell them what it is cuz once you start with me, I always finish....But its not on some serious arguing, its more like friendly...But I sometimes get serious cuz I tend to get frustated when its the same idiot that keep asking me why am I eating this or that. Alot of people are supportive butttt at the same time they get on my nerves. Maybe they're just trying to help but in the WRONG ways. Like they will say "wow ur losin weight u look good keep it up" but then the next few days its like "wow are u suppost 2 be eating that?!" "your never going to lose weight" so on and so on. That makes me feel like if Im going to eat then I might as well eat alone

Don't you hate when the people who kno about ur surgury are watchin what u eat? Its so annoying! I never asked anyone 2 b my doctor! They dont need to tell me what to eat! I feel like im in jail! They all act like I cant eat ANYTHING! Just cuz I had 2 do the stupid liquid diet for 4 weeks, they think I have to be on that for the rest of my life! Like give me a freakin break! I move on to soft foods and they acting like I cant do that. And solids are like Im disobeying my diet to them..Im 1 month post op if I want a small portion of rice let me freakin have it! Im human just like everybody else and it makes me mad when people look at me like Im some alien just because im eating chicken! Like what the hell do u exspect me to eat? salade and water all day?!?! Its like they want to see me starve and thats how Im suppost to lose weight in their eyes. B4 the lap band, ppl would be like "u shouldnt be eatin all of that" buttt now after the lap band they wanna be like "ARE YOU SUPPOST 2 BE EATING THAT?!" or "ISNT THE LAP BAND SUPPOST 2 B MAKING U EAT LESS"...Like no shit dumbass I have no fill n no restriction, Im still hungry. I'll be gettin my first fill in like 2 days. This is not a miracle weight loss plan its going to take time. It took time for me to gain weight it will take some time to lose it. Im just gettin frustrated with ppl looking to see what I eat. I have to defend myself all the time and yell at them because they are so IGNORANT! They cant ever look at the positive things that I did. Such as gettin up every morning to walk 4 miles and at night another 4 miles. Drink water constantly and I watch my calorie intake. I lost 19 pounds so far, maybe more, I'll know when I go to the doctor. But nobody wants to see that, they just look at what I put in my mouth! But I got so fed up with the bullshit I just ignore negative comments. Anybody else going thru this?
