.......i will try to get where you are now eye candy...work it GF

You are doing great. Don't get discouraged we are in your corner.

Don't beat your self up for talking to your friends about your troubles. That's what friends are for, right? The holidays are sooooo hard. I'm going to try and have a step by step plan for the 24th and 25th. I'm frustrated to about this time of year. I feel like I'm gonna gain it all back! Just keep focusing on surgery. It's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Wonderful job!

Love this, I am not on this post to be beaten down, I have done enough of that to myself the last 30 years. We all started somewhere and some need to remember that before coming down so hard. I need support and encouragement, even when I screw up and you know what I might also whine once in a while. Sorry but just being honest. Thank you to the ones that have encouraged me so far as a newby. That is the only reason I come to this site, not to see drama. We all want to be healthy and lose weight right???????? Then help us don't make us feel worse. Love this site and most of the posts:) Raising a child with Down Syndrome has taught me alot about how to treat others and to be kind and more patient with people. We could all learn from that :)

I'm so glad you went to the doctor!! Keep us updated how it goes!

Good for you seeing the doctor. They are there for us the whole way. I hope you don't need to have surgery to repair the band. One thing I have learned from this site and from other banders, call the doctor. Good luck eating.

It won't be you so long as you don't allow yourself to give up. Failure is not an option. !! you are doing great.. and you will be a success!

Love, This was a great post, and one that needed to be posted. I read some of these and I think the same thing.. Thank you for always being so supportive to everyone.. it helps way more than you know. Much love! <3

Very well written, and I respect your "opinion" And people need to hear everyone's opinion. In my case, this has not been hard at all! After the first 6 months were out of the way, it became very simple and easy , for me. I too have lost all my weight, and I wake every morning thanking God I can face he day the same way any other skinny person can, not afraid of eating wrong, and not afraid of gaining weight..... I can't wait to face the day, with no fear....what can possibly happen? Like I said, everyone has their opinion, and that is mine....and that is what these boards are all about....people being banded and sharing their personal experiences....and people need to hear it all. You are correct to say people should not be so judgemental. People should only respond by sharing what their experiences have been.....period. Thank You
