it feels great!

Thank you!

So I started out in 24 size jeans, the other day i went to our storage unit to pick up some older clothes that use to fit me for when the time comes, and I tried on a pair curious to see how far i needed. Well they fit! 18's! Then I tried on the next, and they fit. I ran into the living room and showed my mom and started dancing around. I then ran back to my room and tried on the rest. They all fit! I 'm so excited! :D

no, she doesn't. Shes lucky that way, now maybe she should have better habits but my mother is thin. 140 lbs 5,8

I think you both are right to an extend. I appreciate the feedback!

I don't, but i didn't expect her to wham me with my three favs in a row :/ and yeah i have made great progress.

I can ignore it no problem like you said, its just when its in the house is when i get upset.(i dont want it around) I mean i didn't touch it, doesn't mean that it still doesn't make me want to eat something. There is only so long that you can do tomato soup, and shakes before going a little koo koo..>.<

I am doing great on my 3 week liquid diet after surgery. I haven't cheated. I have the rest of today and tomorrow left. These past few days my mom hasn't been doing as well as she was. She wasn't really eating around me, and if she was it was stuff that didn't really phase me. These last few days she made spagetti for her and my dad. I could smell it throughout the whole house, and she knows its my favorite and then yesterday she brought zaxbys home to my dad. My previous fav fast food and now i just walked in to see her eating papa johns. AHHHH Mental hunger to the max. Im so sick of tomato soup and shakes. I can't wait until wed, but this is making it a bit unfair

I can't wait.

yeah niether did i, i just finished a small bowl, and let me tell you how much better i feel.

I was told not to, but i dont see the difference if it's liquified. I cant find any good creamy soups...so i liquified the vegetable soup. I just feel like i need something else. Tomato soup is really beginning to gross me out. How will it be bad for me if there isnt any chunks?

I signed up and added you!

my nutritionist told me that i didn't need more than 50g per day when i start back on solids, she said unless you work out more than 12 hrs a week all that protein isn't necessary. So don't overdo it, and calories really varies for each person, if you exercising i'd recommend at least 1000-1200. Femles are different than males, and im pretty sure reverie is doing bodybuilder amount of protein.

I have the biggest loser scale, works wonderful.

My surgeon is Dr. Ariel Ortiz and he works at the OCC in Mexico.

Aw, i was born in augusta, what a coincidence.

I was banded on August 10th, and my surgeon has performed over 10,000 procedures. He's the co founder of the band, and has a fantastic reputation. He was recently published in Newsweek as 1 of the 15 top bariatric surgeons. He's been on CNN & Oprah. He and his team of surgeons, nutritionists and healthcare professionals developed Enspira–formulated with six fruits and six vegetables as well as green tea extract. It's called Enspira, and I've been taking it. So far It's been going well, and I thought you guys might be interested in checking it out. Here is the link http://obesitycontro...e-multivitamin/ Thought i'd share with you all! We are all here for each others well-being and progress!!!

My surgeon said there is no point in cheating, you don't want to shake the foundations now, because you won't see slips yet.....it may occur 6 months to a year down the road! Please go back to your prescribed diet, and finish it! I would not want you to have any complications!

sagetracey is right! Pic by pic comparisons help me the most! I can tell the differences just in my Face from my old license to my new one!

I'm on a 3 week liquid diet. I just finished the first week. I'm getting in quite a bit of liquids and i've dropped so much weight....12lbs...in 7 days but for the first week i was just on diluted juices,clear liquids, g2, etc. today i can start protein shake, drinkable yogurt, and creamy soups, so im sure it will slow a little.

my surgeon said after my 3 week liquid diet he wanted me to eat as small as i can 3 times a day without being devastatingly hungry. So the pouch doesnt stretch, and your weight loss keeps up.

my doctor said no carbonated drinks for 6 months after band and then maybe 1 every two weeks. I prob wont even do that, good thing i don't care too much for beer. I've always like the harder drinks.

is it weird for me? I have no issue AT ALL getting any liquids down....

i had mine on the 10th!

i just had it on the 10th, and the process is so much better than you imagine!
