That is awesome!!! I am so happy for you! You go girl! PS Get your redneck on lollol I love NASCAR TOO!

Thank you all so much!!!

Nice!!! PS That shirt is so cute!

Girl, first you are doing great!!! That's almost 4 lbs a wk...who cares how you lost it (liquids) you did it!!! Be proud! And don't worry about what other people think, they could never lose at the speed you will be losing at, and they know it. People will always hate because they are mad or jelous, it happens. Just laugh and keep on losing! The wait for the fill does suck, but it's true the practice is so needed! I still get stuck forgetting to chew 30 times or drinking to fast and its been a year in Dec. Just have faith you are going to do great!!! PS you have been through a lot it's time to take care of you!!!

My first goal of having lost more then I need to lose, has been met! I am so happy! Go check out my signature and you will see. :smile2: My second goal of being under 200 is getting close...I can not wait for this one!!! It's the one that means the most to me. :smile2: Hope to be posting on here soon...

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be back!!! I had my baby on Oct 8th, a beautiful healthy boy, 8lbs 1 oz 21 inches long. We named him Timothy Jones III. So when I got pregnant I weighed 219 during pregnancy I gained 14lbs which had me delivering at 233. Now 1 week and a half later I am down to 210, which is 9lbs less then when I got pregnant. I am sooooo happy for the jumpstart and am ready to make up for some lost time. I have my walking shoes and stroller ready lol and with an infant and 2 year old who has time to eat!?! LOL Please join me on my way to keep losing, my first goal im setting is to lose this 10 lbs and get out of the 200's. Never thought I would c the day!!! Talk to everyone soon and I will post baby pics soon! :thumbup:

Yes! You can eat many of the same things as before just, now, with super portion control. There are, though, a lot of things I have tried and will never try again (pasta, most all bread, and rice). It's just not worth it, the stuck and sick feeling. Plus there are things I never have tried and prob won't (soda or anything with bubbles). But, like cookies and chips those go down easy...the crispy carbs I call them. But, with the band you are so full and satisfied it's so easy to not want them, and if you really need them have just a small amount and move on. Hope this helped! Good luck.

That's amazing!!! You are doing so good!

That's soooooo good! Watch out!

Hi OMG! I know exactly what you are talking about! Haters are out there and they love to talk tons of Sh*t!!! My mother in law asked me "oh girl what size are you trying to get too"? I said I'm not sure but my dream is like 160. She laughed and laughed and was like "you can never be that small you aren't built for it". The thing is she was serious I don't even think she was being mean just hating without knowing...And my sister in laws got real defensive when they found out I was having the band done. They were all like, "its not cute to be small and I would never want to lose my shape". I mean I don't want to either, I think 160 will be perfect, but who says something like that. And then I have come across the mean ones who are like "how long is that gonna last and oh we'll see or what about your skin is it just gonna hang there". Girl I say prove them all wrong!!! LOL Thats all we can do! You will do and look great! Good luck and keep us updated.

Don't stop! You help us all!

That's awesome! I did the same thing, about, 50 lbs into it lol! You are going to be so happy you did. Congrats and keep up the good work!

I was the queen of diet coke! I drank one first thing in the morning like a coffee and then would drink at least another 6 or 7 through out the day. I never thought I could give it up, but I did. About a month before the band I started on caffine free then slowly each week less and less. I still havent had one since the band, I'm scared lol. I was told bubbles are super painful and that the carbination could cause band erosion...? I think me having the fear is a good thing lollol You will do what is right for you. good luck and keep us posted!

That's awesome!!! For me the best part has been that I am 8.5 months pregnant and have not swelled or had high blood pressure at any of my check ups! With my daughter I was 50lbs heavier and it was awful. I was so swollen I could barely bend my fingers and toes and my bp was so high I had to have it checked once a day and was always worried about going into labor early. i LOVE my band!!!

Sounds like you are doing great!!! Good luck on your journy and keep up the good work! Ps I like your plan about not telling too many people at work, I think thats the best way...

Girl, haters are everywhere! Don't let them bother you! I know its hard, because I went through the same thing, but you will learn how to laugh! You are doing soooooo amazing, just focuse on that. And next time someone hates on you, just say if I were you, I'd hate me too! LOL Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Hi! I am the same way except for me I am super restricted until about 6 oclock...then I can eat. Some days I don't even try to eat anything besides yogurt or milk before then. After 6 I am still restricted but not to the point of getting stuck. It's so weird! I have had one fill 5cc in a 10 cc band...After the baby comes I am gonna try for one more small fill. Hope all goes well for you, you are so close to onederland!!! Keep it up and keep us posted! PS Congrats on the new addition

Wow!!! That's awesome! I am so happy for you!!! I can't wait to be posting this same blog one day...lol :biggrin: Keep it up and see you soon

Girl, and they will! LOL I kept putting off buying new pants then one day I was walking up the stairs with my hands full and bammmm...pants on the ground pants on the ground...looking like a fool with my pants on the grounds! LOLLOLLOL

I hate that, something's out of order but I can't put my finger on it, feeling. The good thing is that it WILL pass. Keep up all of your hard work, and it will pay off...Remember a lb a week is 54 lbs a year. SO even half a lb a wk is 27! I know, though, I got pregnant a month after my band. I can't wait to be able to have another fill and get back on track. I feel like I have wasted 8 months of weight lose time We will do it togehter! Keep in touch and keep positive

Slow and steady win the race! 10 lbs in 3months is good! Thats almost a lb a week. And a lb a wk is 54 lbs in a yr. I think sometimes when you lose slowly it's easier to stay off. Don't feel bad, let your body adjust and do it's thing! Stay positive and keep us posted! GL you are doing great!

I'm sorry to hear that u had to go through so much! Don't worry, the worst part is done and now you can get back on track! PS don't feel bad about what your mom said, she is prob just worried about you and does'nt understand...you know how moms can be it sucks though...my mom got mad at me when I had it done too...GL!!!
