Hey there Sandra, I got your post to my blog, and I am interested in the Slim fast in the freezer thing. I am a huge Ice Cream and Ice cup fan, so which kind of slim fast do you use, the one already maid in the can and just pour it into something and freeze it or do you use the powder and make it and freeze it. Please let me know. I think that is probably a better alternative then Ice cream or sherbert or anything like that!!! LOL!!! Thanks

So tomorrow is your big day, congrats and good luck!!! Trust me it's well worth it, but I hope your really ready for a total lifestyle change, cause you can be told that it is a change until your blue in the face, but when it really comes down to it, thats when you really realize what a change this is, and I am very happy I did it, but somedays it's harder then others. It is a wonderful choice and it will help you, but it doesn't do it for you!!! Good luck and if you ever need to talk, you can email me anytime!!! Good luck!!!

Congrats on your Success thus far!!! If you ever need to talk or just need some I can try to be as much help as possible for you, I got my band in Feb of 2010, and I have lost 45 lbs so far, I last weighed in about 3 weeks ago, at the doctors, thats the scale I go by the one at home isn't reliable!!! lol, Well good luck and keep it up!!!

Hi Sandra, thanks, I am doing good, thanks. How are you doing? I am trying a few new things for the breakfast time to keep my belly full, which will help me get through my day!!! Well Talk to you soon. Thanks so much.

Hey Richele, just wanted to check in and see how your Doctor Appt. went. Did he talk to you about how much food your able to eat, and a fill? Well Hope everything is ok, keep me posted, and good luck!!!

Richele, you only had your surgury a week ago and you feel like you can eat anything??? I think you should probably talk to your doctor about that, cause that is not normal, I have had my band since feb 10th, and I just got my first fill. Have you been eatting alot? Well I don't know everyone is different but a week after my surgury I was still mostly on liquids and some mushy, but nothing solid!!! I also replied on the blog, but I wanted to make sure you saw this, so I wanted to post it to your page also!!!

Hi M, I am not sure I have never had a fill, I have whatever he put in it when he put in the band. I am going in June for a checkup, and I am going to talk to him about doing one now. I know I am able to eat more then I should at this time only cause of the amount of solids I can eat. So Thanks I think that picture is from a month after I had the surgury. I am very excited about having it and I know everyday will be a challange, but I just have to keep in mind what is on the other end of all of this. I know I can do this!!!

Wow it flipped, well that stinks, but glad that things are working out better for you now!!! That is fantastic 46.8 pounds. Congrats!!! So your running a 5K, wow, that is awesome, I know I couldn't do that yet!!! I am not a good runner as it is, but I also have bad knees so that wouldn't help me either. I am doing well, I am trying to get into the solid food phase and its a lot tougher then I thought it would be, but I am getting there!!! Well Keep in touch!!! Tina

hey lexus, I replyed to your post on my blog, and I gave you my email address, but just in case I wanted to send you it here so you would get it easier. I would like that excel program you designed for calculating my intake. my email address is tina1577@verizon.net. Thanks so much!!!

Thanks Drowsy, I know what you mean about being a busy family, we are too, T-Ball, and Softball, and all the other wonderful things that comes with being a single mom with 2 kids, but you know what is a really good idea, and I haven't tried it myself, but it is one of the things on my to-do list, is Spend one day best would be the weekend and put together your meal plan, and make all your meals for the week, and then all you have to do is heat it up and your ready to go!!! I want to do this because even though I am eatting good, I am still giving my kids the horrible stuff like 50% of the time. They need to learn now how to eat healthy and that way they don't grow up having the same problems I did!!! Good Luck, and Keep in touch!!!

Hi Chris, I read your blog about your fill, and I couldn't comment, but I wanted to tell you that you are not wrong for doing what your doing!!! Don't let people put you down on your attempts at a healthier life!!! I do however feel you need to cut the fast food, and start working on your diet. I had my surgury Feb. 10th and have lost 40lbs and no fills yet. I just cut out all that bad stuff and became active. Have you tried support groups in your area? Well if you ever want advice or help, you can ask I will help!!!

hey, I know exactly what you mean about being fat an lonely!!! I thought that noone could love me, and be with me bacause I was fat, and I found a wonderful man before I started this process and he reminds me everyday that I don't need to do this for him, and I have to remind him everyday that I'm not!!! LOL, yeah I love how I can put down all my feelings about my weight and stuff on this site and then know that no one is going to be cruel and mean cause we are all fighting the same fight!!! Well I will definatly keep in touch, as you do the same. I try to blog atleast 4 - 5 times a week just to follow my own process and if it helps others in the process I like that!!! Well have a good day!!!

Well that was a great birthday presant now wasn't it!!! lol well that is fantastic!!! Oh I l know didn't it taste so good to beable to chew something!!! I love eggs, I use the egg white egg beaters!!! They are so much better for you, and I throw in some cheese, very yummy!!!

why? Does your insurance not cover it? My health insurance fully covered mine, and I didn't have to go anywhere!!! Well I think its the best thing they have come up with for people who have a hard time loosing weight on their own besides that Gastric Bypass, I didn't want to do a full surgury like that!!! I am very happy with my choice!!!

Hey Melissa, so tell me a little about yourself, and if your considering it, it's probably the greatest thing you can do for yourself if you are having a hard time loosing weight, and this website you can meet so many people that are here to help!!! If you have questions or anything I will help the best I can!!!

Hi Laurie, that is fantastic, when was your surgury date? I last weighed in like 2 weeks ago, and I was down 30 lbs, and I haven't weighed in since, I do know i have lost 10 inches on my waist, and I am going down in size on my cloths, so that is one way to tell, but I am not big for getting on the scale all the time, I don't want to drive myself crazy checking how much weight I am loosing all the time!!! So how are you feeling? What stage are you on? Are you eatting mushy stuff yet, or just sticking to the liquids still??? Well I can tell you on Saturday I am on my 3rd month and I am still doing mushy stuff so it is a slow process!!! Just keep your head up and keep going!!!

hey Laurie, just wanted to stop in and see if you got your surgury done, and see how your doing. I know the last time we talked you were having cold feet. I hope all is ok!!! I hope to hear from you sometime soon. Good Luck!!!

Congrats on your journey, and keep up the good work you look great!!!

Hello there, Congrats on your journey, I just started on my journey, and I am very excited. I have been banded a month and a week now, and I have lost 26 lbs, I am very happy about my weight loss, and I can't wait for more!!! Well keep up the good work!!!

Not to worry I feel the same way!!! Just remember use the people that are on this website as help, and resources!!!. Keep it up!!!

Make friends on here and talk to people, it helps. Is there support groups where you live? I am not a big fan of support groups myself, but I have been doing the diet and talking to people on here and writing out my thoughts, and it helps!!! I am here if you ever want to talk!!! I have aol im and my screen name is tina77f, if I am not online it goes to my phone!!! I will try to help as much as I can!!!

Hey Laurie, I just read your post to my blog, and I totally understand how your feeling right now, I felt that same way before I had my surgury, but then I thought to myself, and I realized that all this is what got me into trouble in the first place, and I am so glad that I stuck with it and had my surgury. I am doing so well, and as long as you stick with what your supposed to do you will do just as well. Trust me I am not going to tell you that it's easy, and that the weight is just going to melt off, cause it's not, I have days where I want to eat every piece of junk food in sight, but I feel my stomach and know that I had this done for a reason, and I am going to push through all this, and I am going to succeed!!!

Hello my name is Tina, and I was looking at your pictures and OMG, you have done fabuleous!!! I just got banded a month ago tomorrow. I am pretty excited and I hope to have results as good as yours. I wish you the best of luck in your future!!!

Hi Tegan, I am ok, I did tomorrow will be 1 month I have had my band!!! WOOO HOOOO lol, I am doing good, in 6 weeks from the time I started the 2 week pre-op diet till today I have lost 25.6 lbs. I am doing well, just know I am going to need a fill at my next appt. which is the 25th of this month. So how are you doing? Hows your diet? Well I hope all is well with you also. Keep in touch!!! Thanks
