thanks for the add, you look great!! how long have you been banded?

I know what you mean!! I had my first fill last week on the 1st and supposedly I have 2cc in my band right now, but I tell you can’t feel any restriction whatsoever. I stick to my ? cup servings like the nutritionist tells me how to, but I find myself eating and picking at stuff cause I get hungry!!!

Hi girlie, I am actually feeling real good today!! I am 4 days out Sorry to hear that your date was postponed but it was probably for the best of your health. I hope your doing better!!! So when is you new date?

Hello there, I am struggling I tell ya!!! Yeah, I don't get it either (w/ doc). I totally understand with the weekend too... omg then lately seems like every weekend we are invited to a birthday party or something and not to many people know about me getting banded so all I kept hearing people tell me aren't ya gonna have some of this and that it is good and stuff like that so finally I had to lie and just say no not feeling good but I ended up cheating :sad:with a little bit of beans anyway. So two more days for me I am super nervous!!! I keep having nighmares that I am already banded and in the dream I am terrified:eek: to swallow anything....

okay i just logged on and i think it's gonna take me a minute to get use too!!

Thanks for the request.. I was looking at your pictures you look great!!

I know, it is nice to have the support from some of these peeps. So how long ago did did you get banded?

Thanks for the request....

Your welcome, and I will definitely asks question when I think of some I just had my pre-opt appt.yesterday so they pretty much prepped me on what to expect and stuff for next friday... thanks!!! Right now I am holding up pretty well being on liquids.

So when did you get banded?

Well for my meals i do make healthy food choices, and as for my protein intake i make sure that every meal i have has some type of protein, so that does include 2 protein shakes a day, but if i don't drink my shakes i get tempted to eat more during my meals... i feel i have no restriction though so i cant wait till i get a fill. My weight is still the same for past two weeks i also workout 3 x a week on the elliptical for 30 min and do weights as well... so that is why i am getting a little discourage...so will see i am hanging in there!!

thanks for the friend request... i just want to say you look amazing!!! This journey has been so hard (regarding my relationship with food) how did you get through it all i can sure use some tips......

hello, just wondering how you're doing and how your surgery went? looking forward to hearing from you

I am glad that your doing great!!! I think i might of cheated also with the soups too instead of broth... ha ha ha oh well it was tough!! I am also doing great althought today i kind i woke up with with a weird pain/discomfort around my port area.... I hope it goes away =/ I am suppose to get a fill on 6/1 i can't wait because I feel I have no restriction what so ever and I been keeping myself under control with my food intake but I do get very hungry just eating 1/2 cup at a time. So I make sure i do take my protein shakes 2-3 a day on top of 3 1/2 cup meals..

hi there how are you doing with the zumba classes. i have noticed a lot of people are starting to go to them classes must be fun.. imma have try one day..... i like to workout in the privacy of my home.......

How are you doing? Just checking on you!!! I am doing great loving the band!!!!

OMG!! I would die to have that diet. It has been really really hard especially today this is my 5th day and I have not cheated, but i tell you i have been like a mad women drooling.. lol another thing it doesn't help that next week my menstrual period is coming >{ My surgery date is next Friday the 23rd... 7 more days

Thank you!! Aug 14th will be a year and it feels like it was just yesterday... =(

Thank you!! getting through that day wasn't so hard of course being with all my family helped!! I have 4 sisters and 1 brother she was the youngest only 27 years old she was very young she passed away unexpectically... I can't help not talking about her. She was that type of person that really left a stamp in your heart and was so full of life, very beautiful, So FUNNY, I swear she would light up a room; she didn't like to see anyone down in the dumps at all. She had something about her that she knew how to make everyone feel good about themselves, was never a judgmental person. Now to me not just because she was my sister, but she was one of a kind!

We were really very close but we were also so different she was a very out going happy go lucky type of kid, she was truly loved by so many people!!

She and I both worked together. I been at my job for 10 years now, and she was at her job for 5. It was so funny because me being at my job for that long when we would go to lunch together I knew hardly anyone cause all you'll get is a smile from me and her on the other hand she just seem to know everyone, and talk with anyone. I would make fun of her at times because of it, I'd tell her "OMG Jojo it wouldn't surprise me if you even stop and say hi to the dam stray dogs" lol

As you can tell I miss her so much I must say work has been really really hard to be at, but I guess dying is a part of life we may not understand it and we may fuss about it, but the way she lived life it kind of taught me so much and she would always say don't sweat the small stuff life is too short, and remember P (P short for my name) do what you can with what you got!! That was her advice all the time to me if I’d worry about anything. She was just so different it really is unexplainable. Well to honor her on her death anniversary we had a mass for her and went to her garden as my daughters like to call it and let balloons go up in the air in her memory... Talking about her really helps!!! Thank you for listening or reading i should say!

Hello Tatt3d girrl, your date is coming up how are you feeling? Mine is on the 23rd, Im a bit nervous, but I know I will be alright!! How are you holding up on your pre op liq diet or what type of diet did the doc request you to do?

OMGEEES I know what you mean i am a slow loser too, and yes very frustrating... total weight loss since i started this journey i am only down 30 pounds. ..... i am back on the site because it gives me more motivation.... to be honest with you i have no restriction at all and i am kind of embarrassed to go and get a fill because i have not lost any weight since Aug. i keep telling myself that i have to do this on my own before i go get another fill.

I was banded APril 23 2010 ........ i am only down 30 pounds.

It has been very frustrating, that i kind fell out of wack with my eating habits that is why i decided to get back on this site to gets some motivation.... and looking at other peoples pages because it does help and it reminds me to get my ass in gear...... so i will keep in touch cause looking at your pictures is truly an inspiration.... =)

Hello there so you have been banded a little over a month now ........ how did it go for you?

i know what you mean living off soft foods, i did also cause i was afraid to eat, but i been over that now ha ha. So i can pretty much eat anything, and it is scary cause i feel i have no restriction at all unless i don't chew my food right. So just watching what i eat and making sure i don't go over 1/2 cup of food but i still feel very hungry after i am done, so i find my self like dragging my bites so my food will last longer. oh i can't wait till i get my fill!!!
