i am finding this journey a lonely and emotional one. im a single mom with a less than helpful Baby daddy. i did this for myself and my son, but honestly could use a pep talk every now and then. i want to be there for other people in the long run.

I'm in TX also. I'm in Mansfield near Arlington, where are you located ?

Come here for the pep talk you need. Stay motivated and focused. Good Luck

Hello all! I live in Houston and I need a buddy....I am new to this I was just banded 9/10...

Hey Misha!!! Welcome

I was banded on 9/20..

I would so love to be able to connect with you all. This gives me hope!! Sometimes we girlies just need other like minded "sisters" to help motivate and keep up on track and keep pushing forward. Thanks so much!

I keep a blog on my weight loss journey ... http://justicesmom.blogspot.com/p/diary-of-fatty-my-journey.html

Please feel free to read and comment. I would also love if yall would message me and join me on Facebook or we can share email addresses privately so that we can keep in touch more often.

As far as the ladies that are in Houston, I really want to get together on a weekend or what not.. maybe at Memorial Park or something. I am doing the walk for Autism and also doing the walk for Diabetes. It would be awesome to see you come and walk with me for that!

Let me know if yall want to get together! Power in numbers!

Thanks prettygirlswag......how is your lap band experience going?

Hey Misha,

All is well, I didn't have to do the Pre-op diet, just liquids the day before... The day of surgery I was 260, as of last Tuesday I was down 8lbs, and today another 4... So that's 12lbs since Sept 20!! I'm excited, I get my first fill on the 15th, I have the 14cc AP Band

I started soft foods Saturday

What have you been eating..I need some advice so I wont get bored with the same foods? Can we drink milk?

Amber, when is the walk? I would LOVE to do the walk so please let me know the date and time...I don't live that far from Memorial...
