vent anytime!! we "banditos" need to stick together. you made a brave choice. after two weeks? give it til the first month and youll feel like a new person! that frst fill... you need to re learn eating again but that was the most noticable for me. EVERYONE mentioned it but i didnt see it. the weight loss, to me it was the same not a number but being able to walk comfortably and go hiking/ sledding with my daughter with out having to sit down because my back hurt. now im up and running (kind of) but complete difference in my weight attitude and life in general. so good luck and this is why we are all here!! i look forward to reading your "diary"!!!

good for you! i also made a quick recovery and went back to work. i found it easier being occupied keeping my mind off the liquids. good luck, this was the best decision i had ever made and i hope its the same for you !

thats the way to look at it!! anything youre doing now is better than what you were doing. i was 255 and had no motivation, once a month had passed and only lost a small amount of weight i was a little discouraged. i stepped it up and it dramatically fell off now im already high school skinny and still losing! honestly i work out occasionally i dont think any ones ever "pumped" to work out... but eventually when you see and feel a difference thats when youll become motivated. good luck!! and we all like to here about your story thats why we are all here.....

good luck tomorrow!! this decision was the best i ever made, not just for me but for my daughter too. being a positive role model. i totally can relate my brain was running the week before, the night before, even the hour before. just remember the reason you are doing this and take that with you. itll be worth it im excited for you !! its not as bad as you think!! my recovery time was quick took 2 days off work and was back the following monday. wish you speedy recovery and speedy losing!!

i am just a year short of my band buddy and i totally relate! i am so happy for you!! i have exceded where i thouht id be and went from a size 22 to a size 12 and still losing. hopefully youll have the same luck!! i havent shopped in stores like old navy for 10 yrs and now im addicted... maybe soon ill see you there!

just go with it and learn to take the compliments! that was my hardest part.... if some one loves you it wont matter what things look like, trust me it aint so pretty under my clothes either, but that doesnt stop me!! plus you can always leave the lights off... good luck!! I am also single but love it. the only way to take that next step is to just jump, take the chances and learn from them thats all you can do! I also hide my emotions with sarcasm but we all need to let our guard down sometimes... but dont hide from hot guys embrace them, literally form out of town or not!!
