  1. Happy 38th Birthday tdawg874!

  2. Sorry, I just got your comment... Advice? Take it slow, day by day, and don't compare your weight loss to others who had it around the same time as you, everyone is different, and you will lose at your own rate. I have lost 95 pounds since March 2010, and I struggle to hit that 100 lb mark, but I look back, and it is a big accomplishment... Good luck to you on your journey =0)

  3. You look great!! I am getting banded in Madison on Oct 7th and advice for me?

    Still fill big?

    Definitely, I feel the same way at times.. I also started in a 22, and now am in a 12/14... I have not seen a size 12 since high school! But, yet still look in the mirror sometimes, and feel like I have accomplished nothing... It is definitely all mental. It is just a process to work through.
  5. I have the flab ABOVE my belly button, and pulling the skin down, doesn't touch that part. I was looking online and read something about the reverse abdominoplasty, where they pull it up, towards your breasts... There were few and far between articles on it, it said it was a fairly UNCOMMON procedure.. I am curious to know if anyone has had this, and how everthing went, results, etc... Please, and Thanks!
  6. I clicked on the link, and the chocolate peanut butter one I looked at has an expiration date of 3/11. Don't know about protein powders and their quality after expiration, you may want to look into that if you are interested in buying it... It 's a great offer though!

    Diverticulitis

    Anybody seem to have problems with diverticulitis? I have not been diagnosed, but I think thats what the problem may be. I have pains on my left side, most of the time after I eat. It was really bad after my obsession with popcorn, on a daily basis. Lol.. I read that the intestines flare up when u eat something thats difficult to digest. Anyone have it? Any pointers on prevention?

    lost posts???

    Me too, just vanished...
  9. I now officially weigh less than my drivers license says! WOOHOO!!
  10. Lol... I did take a picture of the scale the 1st time around...as I said before, I am on day 3 of the pouch test, I had eggs for breakfast no problem, tuna for lunch, and I have not been able to eat dinner, slimed a few times, I will try to eat again in the morning...
  11. I reached onederland in the beginning of November, only to have the 2's creep back up, where I have hovered between 200-203 for the past few months... Very frustrating, but I am on day 3 of the 5 day pouch test to give my system a reeboot.. I have lost 4 pounds, and am at 196.8.. Hopefully I broke through that awful 3 pound barrier for good....
  12. This is my first time logged on since the new layout, this status update reminds me of facebook....

  13. These pictures were taken a year or so apart, in the pink shirt, was when I decided to go through the 6 month pre surgical, at 280 pounds. The one wearing the glasses was this past August 2010. At 210ish... What a difference a year makes!:smile:

    Port Replacement Surgery

    I have not had replacement surgery, but... I have had 3 fills, the first two went off without a hitch, and the third... He had a harder time getting into my port, and he mentioned that there was not the liquid stated in the previous fill. Something I am supposed to monitor, and next time, if there's not 3.5 cc, then I may have a possible leak. So I wonder if my port is starting to flip, and a possible leak? :wub:
  15. I have been banded since March 17, 2010, with 3 fills under my belt....The first two, they found the port immediately, this last one, they had trouble finding the side where they stick the needle in. Is that normal for it to change positions like that after weight loss and such?
