Krystal you are a STRONG woman ....You know you deserve better for yourself and your kids...so sorry u have to deal with this

So nice to "meet" u all and learn a little more about u guys !

Lol and close anniversaries too

Sure my name is Amanda I'm 32 gonna be 33 on Wednesday. ..I've been married almost 3 yrs (july 31st) and we have a 28 month old daughter she was a surprise we found out about 2 weeks before our wedding lol ..... I have been overweight since about 11 my lowest as an adult was 220lbs about 5 yrs ago after having the lapband done then in 2009 my dad passed away from complications from diabetes ...I was always daddys little girl and have taken it pretty bad and gained about 30lbs when he passed away yhe rest came back while pregnant.....I own an income tax business and work from jan-april (hence why I had my surgery april 16th lol) I didn't want to wait any longer than I had to....When its not tax season I'm a stay at home mom

Yeah I'm fine as far as food going in and I feel like if ut wasn't going down it would have to come back up right?

Ok thanks I'm clueless when it comes to anything medical lol just was worried and scared to eat cause I don't know what a stricture is or feels like

I haven't had any in the past but am gonna try the salt water ty...its more like a lump in ny throat than a sore throat it goes away then comes back

Omg god bless you krystal you are definitely one strong woman!!

I have a ? Ok so for the past week or so at night I have a sore throat kinda feels like a limp in my throat and I cough and eventually it goes away well today I started feeling like it was happening when I eat...I also wake up with phlegm (tmi sorry) if I cough I can get it to go away for a bit. ...I don't feel like my food is stuck or making me sick but could it be my pouch ? A stricture? Or just something with my throat like a cold ? I don't want to call my dr cause he'll make me come in for any complaint lol

Lol

Lol I check often but for some reason my phone hasn't let me get on in a few days

Thanks I agree I think she's def a littl envious that I did it she did yhe same when I had the lapband then she had the lapband about 2 yrs after me lol she waits I think to see how I do haha

How r u doing ? I haven't been on in a few days

Yay hope we get some more people that want to do it and maybe someone who can help set it up cause I don't know how lol

I am down to 317lbs surgery weight was 363lbs on 4/16/13 and yesterday a friend of mine who Is also obese and a failed lapband pt that's gained all the weight back and lives on milkshakes and junk food says to me "so how much did u lose" so I tell her 46lbs and she says "really? U can't tell at all" I was so upset I just said "wow that was so rude" and walked away this is also the same friend that wants to do band to bypass but is too scared and won't quit smoking (she doesn't know I know she wants it but her best friend told me she had a consult with the surgeon the week I had surgery to have the revision done) also she used to keep saying "Why is it taking u so long to heal? So and so's friend had it and was fine in 2 days blah blah " Ughh some people are just rude!!!!

We should do either a pen pal just for our april group or an exchange thing cuz I have stuff like that too that is unopened and unused but I've someone else may like it ...we have such a good group here I think it could be fun

I made a pizza out of flat out tortilla with aan marzano tomatoes and reduced fat mozz cheese and crumbled some leftover turkey meatloaf on it ...it was so good I ate a little less than 3/4 of it and I'm full

I was thinking the same thing lol
