  8. Clint... I miss you!!!! Get back on this site :)

  9. Hey friend.... I miss you!!! I hope you are doing well... :)

  10. Bud... I miss you!!! Where have you been?? Are you ok??

  11. Hey girl... I was just thinking about you. I hope you are doing well!!!

  12. Im irritated today! This is day 4 of my self inflicted, liquid diet. I gained 4 ounces. what the heck!

  13. I agree with you all that at times its exhausting with everyone knowing. I feel like I am on display everywhere I go. People have heard about me, and want to talk to me about it. They want to know EVERYTHING i can eat and cannot eat. They even want to see scars lol. Try eating at one of these events. I feel like they might as well put me up on the big screen so everyone can see whats on my plate, and observe me eating LOL. Im exagerating a big, but people do talk to me about it alot. I dont really mind though because I am still so excited about it, 2 years later. If they didnt say anything, I would think wow, they cant tell that Ive lost 123 freaking pounds?? haha... Honestly, some people dont even recognize me, and THAT is a great feeling I undersatnd that telling everyone is not for everyone... and not everyone gets support like I have been given... but getting the band is awesome, even if its your little secret
  14. Good Morning, I had to respond to this because I am the girl who has told EVERYONE about my band, even people who probably dont care lol. I am the girl who blogs about it, and even mentions it in my online dating profile. That might be why I cant find any good ones, but thats a whole other topic! haha. Honestly, I never even considered keeping it private. I am 2 years post op. I honestly feel like it would have been difficult for me to keep it on the down low because of the way that I eat now. People that are close to me would have figured it out for sure. Also, telling everyone has kept me accountable to some point . I am a very open person, and being open about the band has allowed me to meet some amazing people who are considering the band to. I always say that I "witness" about my band to everyone that I can beucase I believe in it so much, so i have become the "go to girl" in my circle of friends for anyone who is considering weight loss surgery. I have been able to help so many people, and that makes me feel so good about it!!! I would say that only one person in my life has not been that supportive about it, and that is my boss. He was looking at it from a financial standpoint( I paid cash) and he thought I could lose the weight through other methods and I didnt need to spend all this money to do so. He has never been fat a day in his life, so his opinion didnt matter that much to me. If anyone else has been negative about it, i havent heard of it. I dont care what people think to be honest with you, because its my life. this was by far the best decision i ever have made for myself, and my only regret is that I didnt do it sooner. Good luck!!!!!! jennifer
