You are right : ) I did call my nurse just to touch base with her on it. Basically the same thing you just said, if it hurts don't do it. But she told me to remember to use good body mechanics while picking him up, and the first few days of not doing it would be good. How old are yours? How many do you have? : ) just curious : ) I am so excited though!!!! And so ready to get started!!! With the band I mean : ) Take care sweety!

Hey! Thanks for the uplifting comment: ) u look great too! I think I am losing more inches than weight, but i will know for sure on wed. that's fill day for me....and weight day, lol....the last time i weighed was on dec. 16th and i was at 20 lbs. So we'll see at 11 weeks out where I am at! And that's exactly the right attitude..its coming off not on

Congratulations! And thank u : )

Well its been awhile since I talked to you, lol. My surgery date got postponed cuz i was sick...lol it was 10/27.....i will know exactly how much i have lost to date on wed the 20th....the last time i weight was before xmas on the 16th and i was at 20 lbs gone....so its averagely coming off, lol....but i think inches are coming off quicker : ) No complaints here! U look fabulous! I have been upping the protein and exercise this new year too, so keep up that conviction!!!

Congratulations Doll U look absolutely fabulous! I am so excited about the months ahead : ) U go girlie, yur hott : )

Absolutely! Totally get the feeling....especially since I only weigh now once a month.....its like okay.....ummmm....lol

But I started out as 24-26 in sizes, and now I am 20-22 so i am down ? until I weigh on wednesday : ) I hope its at least five...but u know, the holidays might rear it's ugly head....: ( lets hope my walking since the new year curbed it!

You are absolutely right! What a beautiful tool I too have battled my weight forever. And I too I am still learning. I am so happy that I have a new relationship with food now. And I must say, CONGRATULATIONS! Cuz u 2 are looking great!

That sounds so exciting! Wow. I cry now when I think of my boy, Josiah (18months) being that age, lol. I know i am pathetic. That is great though! I dream of a size 18 at this point!!!! And congratulations on your new phase of mushies! that is awesome. So glad you are doing well! I just did blood work this morning. So, hopefully everything is cool and band-day is this THursday! I am so ready! I am hanging in there on my diet, when i feel week and hungry I just get on here and look at before and after photos. And honestly, if my period would just end I would feel better too, lol. Sorry for too much info, lmao. Take care! TTYS

Oh yeah. 8 lbs down! Now at 230, hope i can lose more in 6 days

: )

Hey! Where are you? I can't' see you...

; )

You are beautiful! Thanks for your thread post. How much are you down since your January surgery? Just curious. My band date is October 8, 2009! I can't wait! Just 1 day before my 29th birthday!

Thanks for the post. You are such a sweety. But guess what? I came down with a yucky sinus infection over the passed weekend. Got into my PCP on Monday and started an antibiotic per my surgeon's nurse, but I am still sick as of this morning. I had to reschedule my date. Stupid F'N sinuses! So my new date is 10/28. Thanks so much though for keeping me positive. I know I am so ready to do this. Now I have to do the 2 week liquid all over again. I have been a really bad girl today with what I have ate too. Guilt really isn't getting me too much, cuz I know on 10/14 its back to hard core liquids again. So keep me posted as I will you. Hugs- : ( Starla

Hey! Haven't talked to you in awhile...How are you? Just wondering how everything is going. : ) Take care!

Thanks! : ) I used photoshop to put multiple pics into 1

Thanks Doll! So are u!

Thank you for the positivity! And the humor! I need it! I am getting super nervous. Hope i can be at 224 at surgery time : ) then I will be under 200 in no time : ) I can't tell you how happy that would make me : ) I am ready, did my bloodwork yesterday. Congrats on having to buy new undies : ) : ) : )

Thank U! I am bustin' my tail to get it off as fast as possible, lol

Thank u so much : )
