It is a rough journey for sure! But make no mistake - it is do able!!! Just read some of the forums. This is where you will get your strength and inspiration. So many good people on here willing to help you and share their experiences. I hope you will continue to post as well. Good luck to you and take care.

God will do just what you ask of him. He just want us to do our part to make the pieces all come together. This road is not easy but honestly, there is not one thing I would trade. I thank God every single day for giving me this opportunity to have my band. This is a very personal journey that only you alone can do with encouragement and support, but the rest is up to you. The tool has been put in place and it's up to you to use it to your advantage! You can do this. Like the nike logo "just do it"!

Yes it is a journey and you must think positive. I weigh myself on Fridays and this Friday I was up a pound but this morning, Saturday I was down 2 lbs. Yeah for me. So the only one that you are doing this for is yourself and you know you can do it. Rough at times but like Shonette says....just do it.......................

thank you all for the words of encouragement. I know that some says its hour by hour, i know this is what i am supposed to be doing and I know this is what He has planned for me, I tried to get the lapband years ago and i was so upset when i didnt get approved, i jumped thru all the hoops again and left it in Gods hands and said if this is what you have in store for me then it will all work out, and it did. So I know for a fact I am doing what I am suppose to be doing, I am a huge believer in everything happens for a reason and you are where you are in life for a reason. Going for fill # 3 on 4*11*11 will update.....
