March 15th can't come soon enough!! Even tho it's my first step it's still one step closer:-( tell me i have continued on a diet since my decision to get banded NO POP, watching calories AND walking A LOT and I have gained 3 pounds!! WTH!!!!! I'm so frustrated I could scream!!:'-( or cry!!

March 15th?

thats throwin' me off too? do you mean May 15th?

Sorry yes May 15th:-))

I feel same way. I have 2.5 weeks to go and it can't come soon enough. In fact, I find myself eating MORE lately...a lot of 'final' meals (I know that's not good!)

Mine is just the first step but I feel like I'm just gaining and gaining:(

My doc was so busy, I had to wait 6 weeks for my first appointment. It felt like 6 years. Now here I am ready to have surgery before end of month!

That's awesome! I'm on my way to my seminar! I guess first step:))

It's life changing momma. I thank god for it I really do. Every time I walk into an office and fit in the chairs, buy a shirt off the rack, or bag another batch of fugly fattie clothes that no longer fit I thank the universe for my band. I can walk fast across the parking lot and I am no longer out of breath and people have stopped staring at me in amazement. I love becoming ordinary it is a gift. So happy for you and your beginning

Thanks!! I'm super excited:) I can't wait to bag up the fugly's:))

I was over 400 when I started so believe they were sooooo fugly! Lol!

Where are u at now? If you don't mind me asking!

Just crossed into the 290's and feeling spiffy! I was banded in November but I lost 30 pre op my goal is 140 I take it a pound at a time and try not to look at the long road ahead

That's awesome:)) congrats:-))

Thanx!

Very inspirational.

My wife was banded last October (late october) and has lost 50 lbs...when I took her to JC Penny's she actually got into a smaller size and she was just in the normal jeans section..not the maternity (which she expected)....I can't wait until my waist size goes down...I expect to be in at least 34 waist jeans next year at this time.
