Having a good week, feeling like this will be the week I loose more than I have in the past few weeks. I would be elated to hit my current goal to get down to 200!!! That would be amazing but that is 5 lbs from where I was monday so I don't know if I will get there just yet?

Having a hard time today with eatting, everything keeps feeling like it's getting stuck???

Having a week from hell, and I am so ready for it to be over, cause I don't want to stress this much!!! I want the construction summer to be over already!!!

Hello Debi, well no your not asking too many questions, lol, that is fine, I am in Massachusetts, and I am doing my pre-op diet which I am ok, but at the same time still finding myself hungary. I am not a fan of these shakes, I don't know if you have the same ones as I do, but I got these Bariatric shakes and one you have to add fiber too, and ugh thats so nasty, and I got a banana flavored one and the way your supposed to make it you have to use less powder cause of how strong it is. It is not good. So I cut it with the vanilla powder or chocolate powder that I have. So anyway, when is your surgury? One of my other friends told me one tid bit that I want to share with you and that is make sure after your surgury try to sit up and get up and walk as much as possible to relieve the gas bubbles you get from surgury. Well I will talk to you soon!!!

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.

Hello Maritza, sorry I haven't been on in a few days weekend was nuts, and then yesterday I didn't come into work either cause my mom got sick and called me at 4 in the morning cause she needed to go to the hospital, so I went and took her, thankfully the kids were at their dads!!! She had to have her Galbladder taken out!!! It made for a really long day!!! So anyway I don't get on here everyday usually just during the week cause I am at work and on the weekends I am just running around so much that computer is the last thing on my mind!!! lol, I also sometimes hate looking at the progress of others, cause I get discouraged and want to be like they are so bad it makes me upset, so I look sometimes but I try not to!!! So anyway hope you had a great weekend and everything is going good with you!!! Talk to you soon, God Bless, Tina

hello Morovis, how are you doing? I see your surgury is for this 23rd? Well good luck, I hope you all the best, I just got my band this past wednesday, and I am getting used to it but its going to take a little while, so anyway if you have any questions for me I would be glad to help!!!

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!!!

Hello Tegan, I was just checking out your photos you look fantastic, congratulations on your success so far, I am looking forward to getting my band, I go in for my surgury Feb. 10th, and I am so excited. So can you give me a few pointers as to what I should do, I have started doing a pre-op diet for 2 weeks, and it's hard right now but I have only been doing this for 3 days. I still get hunger pains in my stomach at night mostly when I am finally sitting down to relax!!! I really just want advice from people who have had it done already. Well congrats and good luck!!!

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!!!

Hey everyone, still here been going threw some awful stuff since surgery, but I'm pushing thru!! Hoping this week is better!!!

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!!!

Hey Lauren, I am excited too, I just can't wait till it's Surgery day now! I am doing some Bariatric meal drinks, I have a chocolate and Banana flavored, I am supposed to have 3 - 4 shakes a day and I can have crystal light, broth soup, sugar free jello, I didn't think of sugar free popsicles, I should pick some of those up today for a night time snack, but the g2 gatorade and vitamin water 10 is good too. I am trying to add as much as I can to get a mix of things, but the shakes I have to add protien powder to one of them a day and fiber powder (which is nasty) to another one every day, but it's ok, I know it's not forever. So how are you doing on your diet? Well if you ever want to talk or want suggestions or anything I am here, I think things are easier when you have support from people going throught the same things I am. Well hope to talk to you soon.

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!!!

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!!!

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!!!

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 Morovis, lol, I don't even know your real name, but hey yeah hitting a plateau is a crappy thing, but you just have to push a little harder to get past it, I am at the same situation as you are. I have so much going on in my life right now that I am majorly stressed out so that doesn't help. So I am at 262 and still have a ways to go but 1 more lb and it will be my first 50 lbs off, which I am enjoying, but I am finding it tougher now. I don't see my doctor till October again, so he was happy with my progress in july after my first fill so he wanted to push me out to 3 months. Well anyway glad your doing good. Keep up the good work, God Bless!!!

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!!!

Hey Sue, my name is Tina, and I also am coming up on having the band done. My surgury date is February 10th. I am so excited. Well just wanted to come in and see if you wanna be friends. Well good luck with everything!!!

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!!!

Hey Sylvia, well those sound good, I didn't know that they made sugar free klondike bars. Yum I should look for those. Well I am not giving up, but I didn't not do well at all this weekend. I am seriously at a point where I just need to kick my own butt and get moving. I know what I have to do, it's just doing it that is killing me. I will get there, I am so glad you accepted my friend request. I know it is good to have people that are going through what I am going through, and I would love to beable to someone else as I go through it too. If you need any help please just let me know. I am planning on going to the local meetings/support groups. I think having others in my local area will be a good thing to have to talk to them and get hints from them too. Well keep in touch!!!

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

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!!!

Hi again!! So thanks for the little hints I definatly plan to get up and walk as much as I can after my surgury. I have heard about those gas pains and I am not looking forward to that. Don't want to go through that!!! So I did cheat a little this weekend, and I just had a granola bar, a little snack one that I have for my kids, and so I know it's not going to kill me!!! lol, So your surgen told you to have your last supper did he, well thats good to know, cause this coming saturday is going to be it for me I have been on this diet now for a week now, and my best friend and I are going out this saturday for girls night out and we are going to dinner and a movie, so I am definatly going to eat my last dinner and then I still have 4 days till my surgury date so I will have time to digest that. I will probably try to stay good, and have a saled or something, "maybe" lol??? Well thanks for the advice, and I am sure we will talk more soon.
