I'm not ashamed of my decision for lapband but not sure if I'm ready for the world to know.....

I go back to my warehouse job in 3 weeks. Since I've been home I've lost about 3 or 4 lbs. Nothing noticeable. But hmm will it be in 3 weeks? Lol.

It was really important that I lost weight before the surgery. Which I lost 30 lbs. I didn't want to start dropping all of a sudden. But oh well. Nothing really I'm worried about just a thought.

It's feels so good to be awaken from the spell....of McDonald's...Taco Bell... And other fast food cravings. I was a diet soda junkie. I've been clean for 3 months. I quit early because there wasnt a point in stringing it along when I couldn't have soda after band.

I'm so excited for this new life. I have been re-birth. Eating baby food to prove it. Lol.

Oh duh! Lol. Im new to the club.

Lucky for me the weather is gonna soon change and I will have on 3 layers of clothing so people prob will only notice it in my face. I haven't bought anything new to wear since April. I can't wait to go shopping. My birthday is in December I will have to buy an outfit. I wonder what size I will be. Smiling big likes its my birthday now. Lol

Well, welcome to the Club!

I really don't understand hiding your weight loss? Sooner or later they will find out and it seems if they see you losing little by little will be better then all at once. How you going to explain that?

I know I'm not going through this to hide my new, better health.

My family they come around and so oh you cant have this... no i dont want that. lol. I lost weight on the pre-op diet because i was staying under a certain amount of cals a day. before i would go out i would look up nutritional value and make my meal choice based on that. if i went to burger king i would get whopper jr without mayo and value size onion rings. that meals is under 500. having the surgery isnt an easy way out. its more responsibility.

eating at burger king is what helped make me obese (high fat/fried)

fast foods should be used in very sparse moderation (even subway is a better option)

the bands helps us eat less but its really up to us to help the band by

eating good food. (lean Protein, veggies and fruits)

Great point that you cannot untell someone. I purposely only told close friends & family but my little ones told others for me :-). I received some negative feedback from in-laws about leaving them in the dark, which made me angry. Their need to tell me their fears / concerns / thoughts does not = my need to hear it.

Tell who you trust and who supports you and don't worry about the others. People judge - plain & simple, fat, thin, whatever!

Best of luck & keep your eye on the prize!! Your good health!!

Tell me, how do you know what I'm doing at night???? For your information I ride a motorcycle in the middle of winter and still do not dress like you describe. From your very first post you have been unbelievable and I have been following you. First you changed your name, but that back fired. Then you continue to change your story.

I don't care if you're on here to have fun, but having newbies take in your garbage is where I draw the line.

So change your name again and start a new story. I'm done!!!

PS I'm not the only one who has figured you out.

figured what out genius. why are u following me? why do u care? please go sip on some broth and let me be? i dont have to lie or play any games.if u have a problem with me keep it to yourself. im not doing anything to u. all my thoughts and posts are real. do i need to send u a pic of something geeze,

Maddy I've read several of your post... Why are you becoming so hostile? Relax...
