Well i weighed myself today. Ive lost a total of 14lbs since I started my 2 week diet before surgery and this liquid diet after surgery. I start the diet low carb slim fast. My mom and my cousin both said that my stomach has gone down alot, and that makes me feel so good. Ive already bought clothes for when I get thin:D. I want to be about 215/210 by my 1 month mark. Ive been printing out different foods and stuff that i can eat. ive made a little binder so i can put everything in. Im still sore, but this morning i didnt need help rolling outta bed. Ive went through my clothes and im giving some away that are to big on me now. i went down pant sizes. i was about 19/20 and im now 18/17. i want to be a 13ish but my 1 month mark. But when a year comes along I want to be a 7. Id be so happy to be a 7.I know i can do it. I want to meet some teens that are my age(17) who have had it done. So i can have someone to talk to about what im going through. I cant talk to my mom about it because she doesnt know what im going through. I kinda feel bad because my mom hasnt aten much because she doesnt wanna eat infront of me. Ive told her that it wouldnt bother me.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I live near Mobile, AL & received my band on 6-19-07. I am not 17, but am an old lady of 39. However, I feel like I'm 17 if that counts. You are gonna do GREAT girl! I wish I could have gotten mine at a younger age, so that I could have been going to more places & enjoying things a whole lot more. Well, I'm looking forward to reading about your success.
