We all made it! All of us are finally at the finish line. After a month of fearing, cheering, and "OMG if I ever see anymore Jell-O I am going to lose it!" (Sorry to the folks who are recently banded...you will feel that way very shortly.)

Now our new journey together begins: WEIGHT LOSS and EXERCISE! YEEHAW.... I knew we were name TENACIOUS for a reason.

As we move into November and December and get into the swing of our new bodies, and our bands it will be important that we come together as a group. And can you just imagine what the new year is going to look like for all of us? Wow we are going to be HOT!

In closing I just want to say that I am proud to be a member of the Tenacious Tens. We are now off...and running...no one can stop us now!

OMG! You are so right! I didn't even think of that.

Best of luck to all the 10's!!!

<p>Great post CookieLover I was thinking the exact same thing.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Hey all you early October banders-Does it feel like surgery was ages ago or is it just me?</p> <p> </p> <p>CONGRATS TO US ALL!!!!!</p>

Amy - you are doing so great!! Have you lost all of your weight since surgery or did you do a liquid diet before hand?

I am so impressed!

Count me in.. love it the TENACIOUS TEN of Bandland~~~ what a whoot!!! What a wonderful month.

OK the Good news on me ---

hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...amen!!!

I went to see my HERO, my Doc yesterday for my 2-week post-op. I am doing so good that he said ...[are you ready] ... I get my 1st fill in two weeks not having to wait till four AND all my insission are completely well so I can go swimming NOW!!!! Seeing him to get the details of my surgery and getting this great report was just so wonderful. I still can't believe it. Oh thank-you LORD...I am getting a fill that I have been waiting for over one whole year because of my 1st band leaking....I am exstatic. I may not sleep for two more weeks. I'd only loss -16lbs but it will come with restriction in time.

Amy - you are doing so great!! Have you lost all of your weight since surgery or did you do a liquid diet before hand?

I did not lose any weight before the surgery. I was in Vegas living it up in Sincity and then I went to California and had the time of my life. Got back 3 days later and it was time for surgery. My doctor did not require a pre-op diet...god bless him!
