I completed my 3 hour class about the surgery. It was very informative and the instructor was amazing. Our instructor had the Gastro surgery so she knew first hand about this journey we all are taking. I am glad I made the decision to do the lap band. A lot of what she said made sense. She gave us names of different protein shakes that didn't taste too awful, so I will be getting that shortly. I had my one on one with Dr. Clark and he answered all of my questions. Now in the class it says no BREAD , no PASTA and NO RICE. I love those three things, but I will not eat it because you may eat just a tiny piece of those things or have a tiny bit that you think is a small amount but once it's in your stomach it becomes bigger, so if you think a spoonful of rice is nothing, it could actually become bigger once it's digested. Also I learned that you can chew gum but don't swallow it, if you swallow it, it may become stock and block food from digesting properly in your stomach. Also I like the analogy the instructor used, she said if you eat too much you could vomit it all up, sort of like if you continue to fill a sink up it will soon overflow. If you guys are in Hampton Roads, I recommend the Weight Loss Surgery on Jefferson Blvd, newportnews, Va to you, because they are very informative and supportive. No question is a dumb question. I'm excited because I have a supportive team near me! Also I learned if you have any negative people near you, you must dismiss them, you need all the support you can get!

That's my date too! Let's be banding buddies!!!

Okay this guy I used to mess with (4yrs known) , he's all like he think I should wait and try to lose weight on my own first before I make rational decisions. First of all 2 yrs ago he claimed if he hadn't just gotten out of a relationship he would be with me. He played this lil games of saying I love you's;then when I caught feelings he had the NERVE to say..I don't like you like THAT I thought we were friends. now in 2010 he has this girlfriend he been with for 2 yrs that he previously lied about. He hits me up on IM all the time telling me i'm beautiful and blah blah.all I have to say is.I'm getting fit and fab, and will he have a chance? NO. He want to be FRIENDS, sure I can be FRIENDS because my feelings for him has been caught in the wind somewhere. I bet he is going to SO wish he never let a good woman like me go. ALSO my friend that I talk to occasionally said what I was doing was dumb. Dumb for ME or YOU is what I wanted to ask, i just told him its my damn body and he has no say so over it and i hung up. He can go kick rocks with no damn shoes on because he has YET to take me on a date, we been talking since Feb now are you serious, please get out my face, he keep texting me now that I been stop paying him attention since two months ago, now he think he can make negative comments about my surgery...HA not And I SO can't wait to turn some heads. I want to be fierceeee by my birthday Jan 3rd!!!
