Hi, My name is Jessica. I was banded Jan. 18th 2007. So far I have lost 21 lbs. I just had my first fill March 15th. I also miss my soda, but I got myself addicted to homemade Lipton Ice tea. I keep it unsweetened in the fridge and sweeten in with splenda( I actually use the Great Value walmart brand) in my glass. I drink it all day and it's 0 cal's. I actually can't stand the taste of actual sugar anymore, lol.

192/171/130

I love the Walmart Grape sf drink.

I feel like making sure I drink my sf liqiuds each day really helped me with my weight loss.

I still miss my diet mt dew. Oh well it is worth it.

Good luck,

edie

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! You are doing great!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Oh my gosh your from Somerset PA too. Where did you have your surgery done at. Im having mine done at Cleveland Clinic I know its far but they are one of the best I heard and anyway I am seeing my Endo up there anyway and she is the one who said that weight loss surgery might really help me and so sh reffered me to the Baratria center in the Cinic. does any one else go there. did you see Dr. Chand or Dr. Shauer (sp?). Its nice to find some one from my town that had this done. We should talk some time. By the way Im Lauren and Im 25 today. Yes today is my birthday. Im having a Angel food cake with strawberries and lite whipped cream. Only one slice. Trying to be good. Any way this is cool. Its nice to meet you.
