wow.... thanks for this............. I need to get recommitted to me...... your right.... I AM WORTH IT.............

You can do it.......... Order the soup..... just don't eat the chunks...

I was on vaca for one of my weeks of liquids.... Everyplace i went...i would say .. I think i'll have the soup. It became a big joke for the whole trip. Everyone was like... Chris what are you having?

It will be all worth it in the end.

I had all that crap at my house too... never used them. Do you have a friend you can walk with? I can not get up and exercise in the morning.... i like to sleep till the last min...

My weight didn't show until i started exercising... My husband was my motivator and support system. Now I go to the Y right after work. I also have a dog that I walk 3-4 times a day. I live 10 min. from work so I go home at lunch and walk her.

I do zumba, body combat ans spin class as a group and i walk the treadmill and do the DEVIL (elliptical). When i first started i could only do like 5 min on both... now i'm up to 45.

You can do it..... We 40+ girls have to stick together.....

Welcome to the club....Tomorrow is the start of the New You..... i wish you all the luck in the world. A good support system is very very important. My husband and family are wonderful also. Be prepared for some people to not be as supportive as others. Especially your "other fat friends". Your true friends will stick by your side and encourage you all the way.

Wear comfortable clothes. I wore my pj's and a sports bra. socks... don't for get socks. Personal items... And don't forget to bring your positive attitude....

Hey Leslie,

Banded Nov. 10, 2009. Best decisions of my life.... Starting weight 223, now 153. Paints size 18, now 8-10. Started exercising about 4 months after i go my band and the weight started to come off faster.

Fixing to start a very intense work out plan hoping to lose the last 20 and tone up the mid-section.... But if i never lose another pound, i am so happy.

Since the weight-loss my husband and i do go "out" more and I do drink. I stay away from the drinks with soda in them. I use to drink Crown and 7, but now.... heck.... i just drink it on the rocks.

Be careful with how much you drink, I do feel it faster than before. I use to drink 3-4 crowns and a couple shots, then i would feel it, now 2 drinks and i feel it.

Went out for Mardi Gras and drank way too much, but had no stomach problems at all.... Good luck

no, but to be honest I could have gone home after surgery....

The smile on your pretty face speaks volumes...... Keep up the great work.

you have lost 100lbs in three months.... WOW that is incredible. Keep up the great work. One of my biggest AHA moments is when i noticed my thighs didn't rub when I walked.... OMG I was so happy. My goal was to get in a single digit paints and i did... from size 18 to 8.

P.S. the smile on your pretty face speaks volumes......

Got my band Nov. 10..... down 28lbs

don't worry, as soon as you start the pre-op diet the pounds will come off. I lost 14 in 14 days. No I didn't stick to the diet, I did't cheat twice. I was so hungry.

Keep up the good work and you will be glad you did this. Remember to be around possitive people.

I bought that yesterday. From HSN of all places, I had never bought anything from them before. I should get it on Monday or Tuesday. My son plays on his friends so I'm hoping he can help me understand and set it up.

I got my band Nov. 10 and doing just fine. I took the large band which I didn't think I would. Had my first fill on Dec. 10th. Didn't really feel all that different. I was to go on the 23rd, but I'm going to wait till after the christmas holidays. I'm still losing about 2-3 lbs a week which is great for me. I'm down 28lbs.

Did the 2-week pre diet and lost most of that. Stick to it as much as you can. I can't lie and tell you that I didn't cheat, because I did twice. My doctor said when he went in my liver looked fine. I really stuck to it the last 5 days.

I'm really shocked that he brought you all in as a group. HIPPA laws are pretty strick about people knowing others business. My dr. was wonderful, very understanding.

Were are you from? I live in South Louisiana.

I only come on line a couple times a week, so if you don't hear from me, I'll catch up.

I got my band Nov. 10 and went for my first fill Thursday and I too do not feel restricted. I have been watching what I eat, but I have to admit that i have not been drinking enough. I have only lost 20lbs. and feel that I should be losing more.

Had my first fill Thursday and I really can feel any different.... any advice?

WOW you are doing GREAT!! I hope my sucess is as good. this is why i'm choosing not to tell my family. i'm from the south and everything is food related. i have only shared my choice with very few people that i know will be supportive. I think ice cream will be hard for me too. Had my gllbladder out a few years ago. Easy surg., not bad at all.

Good luck

I will be having my band on the 10th, but with my dr. they have you continue with liq. diet for two to four week after and then a puree diet for two weeks, then a soft food diet for two weeks, than reg. diet. Seems kinda quick to be eating "reg." food.

Today is my first day on the liq. diet.... ughhh
