Hey Reshee how's it going? I see your down 21lbs!!!! Way to go!

Hey DMogren just stopping by to say thanks for reading my blog and I hope your surgery went ok. Take it easy.

Hey Reshee way to go on the 15lbs so far!!!!! I bet your excited and a little nervous for your surgery so I just thought I would stop by and say you will be fine. Don't forget to get your fluids in and walk walk walk! Give me an update when you get to feeling better. -April

Hey Mandy just stopping by to check in with you. How are you feeling. I am still waiting for my first fill and I'm kind of starving. That walking program you emailed me is great. I'm still doing week one over and over again because it's still hard but that's ok I don't want to overload my ticker. Hope you are well. Talk to you soon.

Hey girl your birthday is coming up and I just thought I would give you an early HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Hope all is well and you can have a nibble of birthday cake.

Hey jinnie how are you feeling? My surgery wasn't too bad at all. I'm now on normal foods and feeling hungry quite a bit but I'm white knuckling it and trying to stick to a decent diet. Atleast I do know I'm eating smaller better portions then before I started all this. Send me an update. I hope your doing great.

Hey shonette. I was banded on Jan 12th. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was always good on diets for about 3 months then I would slowly fall off the band wagon so to speak. Right now I am at no restriction and pretty hungry but I figure I have lost 34 pounds so far and thats damn good. I can't wait to get my first fill on March 1st. It's all baby steps but babys eventually walk then they run. I'm definately looking forward to running.

Hey Peggy1 thank you for reading and commenting on my blog. Your date is in 3 days!!!! I'm so excited for you. Just remember take it easy after your home. Just walk around a little and when you feel tired be a cat and nap. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Your in my thoughts.

Hey Reshee thanks for reading my blog. Yes walking helps alot. I did a ton of walking in the hospital. Every time I got up to tinkle (which is alot considering they pump you full of fluids) I made it a point to take an extra walk down the hall and back. You should be so proud of yourself for doing this. The pre-op diet kinda sucks but the weight really comes off when your eating next to nothing and thats pretty darn exciting. I lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks and my liver was beautiful according to my surgeon. Keep up the good work and feel free to come with any questions you might have. I haven't been banded long but I will always try to answer with the best of my knowledge.

I am so feeling you on the wanting fills thing. My first one isn't scheduled until March 1st. Then I have one March 15th & 29th. Hopefully I will get to my sweet spot pretty quickly. I'm having to just will power it too. I have noticed I'm not craving sweets like I used to before this whole ordeal and that's a good thing. Hope you are well and keep up the good work!

Hey girl just checking in. How has the exercising thing going. I'm pretty proud of myself I went to the gym and had a good workout 4 out of 6 days. Mostly walking and a little jogging mixed with some lunges and light free weights. I wish it would get warm here so I could get outside and do something fun like bike riding.

Im from up north in a small town called Chillicothe. Its about an hour and fifteen away from KC. Im getting banded in two days and I am so excited with a little bit of nervous mixed in. Hope you are doing well and yes I'm all in for being friends and supporting each other.

Thanks for the friend request jinnie! It looks like we have a lot in common. Motherhood although my brood only consists of one. I loooove Twilight and we both live in Missouri. Hooray. Hope we can keep in touch.

Hey CherieLynne I'm getting banded on Jan 12th too! Hope we might be able to be cheerleaders for each other. Best of luck in the countdown to skinny!
