  1. Hoping that I have a better weigh-in on Monday at the doctor's office. So far, not looking so good. :(

  2. Hope you're doing well! :)

  3. Hey girlie - it's slow but it's steady. I have a new goal to see Onederland before Christmas. We'll see... LOL! I haven't been overfilled. I can still eat protein and everything but I do think I get hungry faster. I go back on the 24th of September, because I had a visit on the 13th of August and they didn't do a fill because they think I'm at my sweet spot. We'll see....

  4. Hey girl - how is it going???

  5. Stopping by to say "hi" birthday buddy! :)

  6. I'm one of Dr. Curry's patients, too! Your before and after pics are amazing! I am praying that I have that type of success! Thanks for posting.

  7. Hey girl - hope things are good! I had my first fill on Monday and everything went fine. I don't really feel any restriction which sort of stinks - and I have 5 CCs in my 10 cc band! Can you believe that? But maybe it's one of those things where I have to wait to see. She thought she tightened it a tad too much but I think that she pulled out more than she was thinking.

     

    Anyway - I've lost a few pounds so I'm still happy about it. Just trying to stick to my protein shake and light meal regimen. :)

     

    Hope you're doing well!

  8. You'll do fine at your doc's appointment! :) I can't wait to hear how you do. I was down 14 lbs at mine last week but I think I've lost about 5-6 since then. The scale is REALLY moving all of the sudden. :) I'm still sticking to a pretty strict regimen. I drink a protein shake every morning for breakfast. Lunch is something small and packed with protein. I eat a TON of chicken and turkey. Protein first! ;) Dinners are less than 1/2 of what I used to eat. Last night was 1/2 of a chicken wrap. Sadly, my hubby has GAINED 5+ lbs, but I think it's because he keeps finishing my meals. I have to get him to stop that.

     

    I'm worried because I'm going out of town this weekend and will inevitably bloat. I don't want to go into my doctor's office on Monday for my first fill and be up or not show any more weight loss. :( So, I'm trying to figure that out.

     

    Good luck to you! HUGS!

  9. Hey girl! :)

     

    Let's see... right now I'm not scrapbooking my weight loss journey. I probably will once things really start going - I'm a reflective type of person more so than a current scrapbooker. But I am sure I will eventually get there. Of course, I rarely have time to scrap, which is why I am digital most of the time. I miss paper scrapping but digital is a bit more convenient.

     

    How are you doing? Good, I hop!

  10. Hey - just saw you're into scrapbooking! I used to be a scrapbook designer and still work for a company that owns a scrapbooking magazine. :)

     

    Can't wait to follow you on your journey!

  11. Thanks for checking in on me. :) I'm doing well - feeling pretty good now. It's amazing, it was like when I hit the week mark, my body healed all of the sudden.

     

    Don't be nervous! It will be great and pretty soon you'll be banded and starting your new life!

  12. Ooohhhh! Someone who's almost on the same path as me. How much do you have to lose? I have a little over 100 to lose (like 106) before I hit my ideal goal.

     

    And yes - I'm TOTALLY into photography. I have two girls, been married for 12 years (yes - I was practically a CHILD when I got married) and I love design and photography.

     

    Keep in touch!

  13. Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate it! :)

  14. OMG! You are an absolute inspiration! I just had my surgery on Monday and I am so excited thinking about the possibilities! WOW! YOU GO GIRL!

  15. Been following your blog! Such an inspiration for me. I hope to have the same success! :)

  16. Would love to be band buddies! Good luck on your surgery on Tuesday and I will be thinking of you! :) (Oh and I <3 disney, too! I have Ariel tattooed on my back) ;)
