I'm from Henderson, Texas and I'm looking for a Buddy that's within 30 miles of myself. I prefer a female that needs to lose at least 100 lbs. Thanks

Hey!! Im not within 30 miles of you, Im from Fort Worth, but We can go through this journey together and keep in touch!

I know I'm not exactly what your looking for but can you really have too many friends?

I'm from shreveport Lousiana, about 20 mins away from the texas line. I still have about 100- to 130 lbs to go.

Im in Nacogdoches TX but I only need to lose 60 lbs...

I would love to be your buddy!

ooooooookay then.

I live in Lufkin. Your not very far from me.

Thank You for all the responses. I have not ment to ignore anyone. My daughter was suppose to be getting married this month and her fiancee just decided he did not want to be married. My daughter has four little ones. She has a 6 yr old ,a 4 yr old and a set of twins a boy and a girl 18 months old. My daughter is devastated and decided to take a trip for a week to get away and clear her head. I've been busy helping take care of the children. Forgive me if I seemed like I don't care enough to respond to your answers.

Ready to go I'd like to keep in touch. I just was wondering if there was someone close enough that we could meet sometime and do something together have lunch or just talk. I'm having a hard time staying motivated and I need some help. I would like to keep in touch with everyone. My e-mail is tgh153xl@yahoo.com

Once again I'm sorry I did not respond sooner. Hugs! Teresa

Hey Val!!! Who did your surgery? Dr. Hambric did mine.

Today, I was able to start soft foods. YIPPEE! Then next Friday I can transition to regular food. I haven't had any problems so far at all. This morning I did accidentally swallow a piece of ice and it hurt, but at least it melted. LOL

This past week I haven't lost any weight. I'm hanging around between 18-20 lbs. lost which is what I've been for about a week. That's kind of getting me down, but I'm trying not to let it bother me too much. I just thought I would have lost more weight.

Nice to know someone else in Lufkin that has been banded.

Congratulations Paula on your weightloss. I lost 20 lbs pre-op on my liquid diet. I was banded on June 4th. Since I was banded I've lost 35 lbs. My doctor told me I should be able to lose around 10 to 12 lbs a month. It's hard to do unless I get my exercise in. I go for my 3rd fill Sept 22. I'm looking forward to it. Keep up the great energy and don't get down. You will hit plateus with the lapband. You are doing great. Hugs!
