CONGRATULATIONS!! to all loosing weight with both bands. Can't wait for that kind of success

yesterday was my 3rd day of liquid diet and I am having a bad time too. Specially feeding my family and cooking for them and not being able to eat it. When I get hungry I get a cup of yogurt or apple sauce or a shake and stay away from the kitchen as much as possible. I have lost 4 lbs already. I did medifast 2 yrs ago and it was easier than this.

My toy was a fun gift from a friend and I have had for a long time and I do prefer my husband who has a good size member and he is great at it all. If it wasn't for our schedules being so different I would not need the help of a toy.

WOW page 4 already! I too am afraid my husband will find mine. Specially because it is bigger than him.

Having a family to feed during makes it harder. Yesterday was not fun for me, I know it only gets harder. I stay away from the kitchen as much as possible. Drinking my shake while cooking seems to have made it easier.

Green: how awsome for your friend!! Swimming naked, I hope to do one day.

I started my liquid diet today and on the way to pick up my youngest at speech therapy I told the girls "on the way back we can go to Burger King" ha! quickly my oldest (8 yrs old) reminded me that I cannot have any. I got them some kid meals and quickly made myself a protein shake. I am following the Unjury liquid diet program.

Lepez it was a difficult marriage, he was also very abusive. The only time he was interested in me was when he wanted to have sex and even if I told him no he would still force it. The violent rape was in front of our oldest 2 daughters ages 3 yrs old and 7 months old. It is hard to live w/o the hugs and kisses I could not tell you how I survived I think I went numb but I knew things could not get worst I knew someday I would be out of that. When married to my first husband I went online and bought a dildo, there I said it. It helps at least it did me. I am glad this conversation was started.

WOW! Nume hugs from me too. My first husband and I were married for 6 yrs and had 3 children. He raped me violently once after I filed for divorce and the sex during the marriage can be considered rape also since he forced me. He cheated a lot. My second husband and I have a great relationship but he gets up at 3am to go to work and goes to bed at 9pm sometimes earlier. I go to bed after 11pm. The only time we are intimate are the Fridays that my children go to their dad's house, if he takes them so we are talking about twice per month if we are lucky. I start to feel disconnected when weeks go on and we have not done it. I guess it is a good thing we are not planning on having children or that would never happen at the rate we are going.

WOW how exciting! I am looking forward to the PS. Can't wait to see more recent pictures

I heard about it also from Puddin. I am getting banded on June 26 (I start liquid diet tomorrow) 2 weeks ago I bought one. I am really happy to hear that it is money well spent.

I was right at 35 when I went to the seminar so I stopped dieting and by the day I saw the doctor my BMI was 36.9 and since I have comorbidities and my family history is really bad (obesity,diabetes, heart problems to mention a few) I was ok by my doctor. Insurance did not cover it.

After attending the seminar Iasked myself if I would be ok going to the mexican restaurant that I soooo love and not eat my usual and have to find a healthier replacement and eat a small portion at first it scared me a lot but a plate of food is not going to keep me in this hell that I live every day being obese. I am ready to make the changes and the band is a tool that will make it easier. Take your time and ask yourself a lot of questions and run through different scenarios and when you go to your favorite restaurant look at the healthier choices and see if you can live with them. Doing all that has helped me with my decision to get the band and also the fact that because I am self pay and it took me a while to find the money(even re financing the house was not approved) made me realize how much I really want this and how ready I am.

The only thing I like about the gastric bypass is the "free 100" this is the as I have heard 100lbs that come off effortlessly. Everything else scarred me: being cut and having my system altered, dumping syndrome, even (this is my thought) the stomach stretching again. With the band I feel more in control and my system is not messed with and even though weight loss is slower I feel it maybe more permanent and it is reversible. I hope this helps.

Miss Carol 15lbs is awsome! Congrats!

You do look great!! Thank you for sharing

My doctor requires the diet to shrink the liver. I am planning to go to a super buffet for my last meal.

Hardy! shopping the next day!? wow! does everyone experience this kind of recovery?

WOW Luvinke that sounds easy. I have to do the liquids; shakes, yogurt, Soups and the day before the surgery Clear liquids. I did one of my Denise Austin's video today. It is also recomended by by doctor to exercise before the surgery

Congratulations on both!! Those are huge accomplishments

I agree, I am not waiting that long

Oh! my brother in law lives in loganville!

I finally have a surgery date!! June 26th. As all the loans I found or applied for were not for me or I got denied. I got a low interest credit card and I am treating it like a loan and plan to pay it off ASAP. Next will be the plastic surgery bill.

That is what I told my husband whos worried that after I have the surgery our medical insurance will start to cover the surgery and my answer to that is by then I will have lost weight and feeling so good I wont care

2 weeks of liquids for me. Starting June 12.
