Hi Lauren, just wanted to come in and try to get some friends in here so we can support each other, I am actually having my surgury the day before you are. So I am sure your getting excited, I know I am!!! Well Good Luck!!!

hi maranda, my name is Tina, I am just trying to get some friends on here so I can meet others that are going through what I am going through. So when is your Surgury? Mine is 2-10, 2 weeks away, It's been a long road, and it's almost here, I am excited. Well Good luck, and hope we can be friends. Thanks

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!!!

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!!!

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

Saturday is my 4 month mark, wow where has the time gone? I will be doing my 4 month measure and weight check tomorrow morning so I can put all my measures into the computer!!! I love this time of the month!!!

Hi boshie thanks for responding to my blog, I have been banded since feb 10 of this year, and I do drink coffee like everyday, but I guess I irratated it, and that is why I was having a hard time eatting and drinking. I am now going to be on a liquid diet to calm things down for a couple weeks. I am sure I will be fine soon.

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

Well friends, I am back to work after 2 fast weeks of healing. I thought these past 2 weeks would drag but just the opposite they went like 2 days? I am happy to be back moving around but I am not even close to 100% yet from the hernia repair surgery (just so you all know, this was a post WLS hernia), and I am still very sore and in some pain. but had to get back to work even if I just stay 1/2 days for this week. I haven't weighed myself since before my surgery cause I know I have swelling so I am waiting till the 19th which is my 9 month mark to weigh in again.

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.

Hello everyone!!!! It's been a while since I have been on here, just been going through a lot in my life, but on the up side, I am fully at my goal and am not recovering from skin removal surgery after getting down to my goal, I am super happy that I am for the first time down to a healthy weight, but I finally feel good too. I mean as good as I can after having this surgery almost 2 weeks ago, but I feel good, and on the road to recovery.

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 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!!!

Hey Judy, I also have lost a little over 50 lbs, and I do the same thing forget that you need to chew alot and slowly eat when I first take a bit, cause I want to eat, and I am hugary. I do love steak, but it is so hard to chew enough. I actually made that for the kids last night and I had a bit of it and OMG, it was soooo good!!! LOL Oh well so my port is also really close to my skin, I can feel it mostly when I stand up, but I don't have to worry about my pants cause my port is up higher. Oh well good luck, and keep in touch let me know how your doing!!!

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!!!

Hey Sylvia, I know just what you mean about the ice Cream, well I sent you a friend request, go accept it, and we can keep kicking each other in the butt to get our mojo in gear!!! Good luck!!!

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!!!

I am disgusted!!!

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!!!

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!!!

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!!!

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
