Congratulations !!

WOW !! And you are so inspiring , this could not have happened to s more deserving person !! :-)

I gain 3-5 lbs. I stop weighing now until 2-3 days after its over.

I always send people here . For a pretty unbiased comparison. http://www.trueresul...-loss-surgeries/

Awesome and handsome !

YAY !! Congratulations !!

I saw one person on here who takes bites the size of a grain of rice. Try smaller bites.

Gained 7 lbs after a long long still . Pre op 3/23/12 started at 339 lbs . banded 4/6/12 current weight 279 lbs. that's 60 lbs in 1 year !! YAY !! BUT i lost most of that in first 6 months and was on what I thought was a long plateau !! My lowest weight was 272 mid February. Today 279 !! I've been on this site long enough to know what went wrong and what I need to do to fix it !! So I just need somebody to kick my A$$ " yell" PUSH KESHA !! SHAKE IT OFF !! GET UR BUTT UP !! MOVE !! NO EXCUSES !!

Great job everyone !! Very inspired !!

I agree !! Although I feel a bit defensive about the band I tell people who ask. I have not spread it on FB like I do for other things. But my hope is to let people know there is hope out there and they are not alone. Right now I am under the microscope cuz I started out great but now I'm not losing. But I will refocus and get it done, partly because I have to be accountable to myself first, but also to the people feeling hopeless out there.

Awesome !!

OUCH !! LoL !!thank you for the A$$ kicking !!! I have not been exercising regularly, which I will restart tonight,I've been drinking my calories a lot that also stops today, I've learned how to " eat around" the band , which I will be watching for, but its a little harder but I will work on it. I also have not been consistent on this site being inspired or pushing others. I use to live on this site !! I do not blame the band at all. I understand it is a tool and I have to work it. But I had it really easy at first and I didn't really do anything for the weight to come off.Now I know that was the low hanging fruit and the real work has to begin !! :-)

Beautiful !!

My She-ro !! Congratulations !!

Get the nutrition facts from the Atkins brand protein shake. See if the vitamins etc are comparable to what the dr recommend. Some drs are promoting and selling shakes and it has nothing to do with your actual needs.

WOW WOW !! Absolutely stunning !! :-) congratulations !! Your post were my inspiration when I was prepping for pre op last year.I started strong but fizzled because of a couple of traumatic " life" incidents over last summer and fall. I came here tonight looking for that spark , I think I just found it with this post. Good luck with your tummy tuck and next phase ! :-)

WOW !!

Awesome !!

WOW ! Just what I needed !

EXACTLY what I needed to read ! Thank you for posting !! :-)

Unlike other sites (sleeve) we dont oust people with other surgeries .We welcome anyone with any WLS.the decision to do any surgery is very hard.and we all need support on the lifestyle changes and ups and downs.many of the changes inneating and the emotional stuff we go through is the same and we need each other...goodluck in your journey !!

YAY !! Congratulations !!
