  1. Starting to see that this is truly an emotional process. I have not been banded yet, but just trying to get things together, I'm learning so much about myself..how I see myself..the things I'm happy or unhappy w/.. it also brings to light other aspects of my life I want to change. Realizing that I have control over so much more than I think! It's amazing..liberating.. and very emotional! Hope everyone has a excellent week! =)

  2. no problem! keep in touch! =)

  3. I LOVE LBT!! All of you bandsters are so fabulous! You guys and gals encourage me so much and I am so glad I found this site. I love reading your updates and viewing your amazing progress photos! But sometimes, I know there are wonderful stories behind the photos! If you feel so inclined, I'd like for you guys to share some of your greatest moments in banded history. It could be anything; funny, scary, a learning experience or even a great "look at me now" story about an ex or someone you haven't seen in a long time. I love to read...so no matter how long or short the story, I want it! So please...share away! Look forward to reading from you soon! Thanks in advance for sharing! -Mary-
  4. So many balls in the air..feels like nothing is going to settle anytime soon! The waiting game is the worst! But I still have my head up and I'm looking forward to going forth in this process. Just trying to keep thinking of a thin me and reminding myself that it will all be worth it in the end! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend! =D

    Greatest Moments In Banded History...

    Thank you for sharing! So funny, I was just reading a forum yesterday on gas and how loud and annoying it can be.. but most everyone just says you'll get used to it after a while. I am glad your pains have subsided! I hope you get to your goal with no problem! All the best on your journey! Please keep me posted! -Mary R.-

    Greatest Moments In Banded History...

    Thank you for sharing! I've heard that a lot of the doubt in the beginning comes from the fact that it's still so new..you can't really see any change and the surgery just mentally does something to you. But if you hang in there!! I've heard it from so many people that this is the best decision they've made in their life! I think, like anything, you have to do what works for you. And if you're ok w/no fills right now ..then stick to that. As long as you are seeing the kind of progress you can be happy with! All the best on your journey! -Mary R-

    Your are probably one of the biggest inspirations on this site! I'm hovering between 295-300lbs.. and to see the progress you've made is truly inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
  12. Hey lady! Thanks for the add!! How are you? Keep in touch! =)

  13. Ok..a little bit of frustration setting in. Trying to stay positive.. but I'm trying to get all of my documentation together and it just feels like I'm all over the place. Trying to refocus. Had my Nutrition appt and RMR test today so that's another 2 things off the list. I also got my weight history from my PCP. Just waiting for the hospital to call me and schedule my Upper Endoscopy..and that's it...I hope *sigh* Hope you all are having a great Thursday! =)

  14. Started my Vitamin D supplement today. The pharmacist (and my mom) say that I'll notice a big difference in my energy levels. I hope.. because lately I've been feeling very tired. Nutrition and RMR tomorrow..which means no food after 8pm. Better go eat dinner now! LoL! Hope you all are on cloud 9! =D

  15. LOL! nope..I'm still here! yes..just jumpin thru all these ins hoops..fitness/nutrition/psych eval/rmr/upper endoscopy & now a Vitamin D supplement for 2mths. I don't think it'll hold up the ins submission but if I was goin to get a surgery date before then it'll most likely be pushed out til after. I'm glad to hear that u'll be making a change for the better. hopefully it's just what u need! =)

  16. haha! yes! a journey to a journey..that's a great way to describe it! I didn't have a supervised diet as a requirement...so I'm grateful for that. But it does feel like it's been a journey even up until this point! So glad that things are finally wrapping up for you! shouldn't be too long now! =D

  17. LoL! That's ok! I'm doing very well.. things are progressing. I am getting all my pre-reqs out of the way. Just got my Nutrition and RMR tomorrow and that'll do it. Once I'm done w/that I will be ready to be submitted to insurance. Found out I have a vitamin d deficiency so I'm on a supplement for 2mths.. other than that everything's good! =)

  18. Looking fantastic! That smile looks pretty permanent! ;o) Congrats on your success so far! Keep up the great work!

  19. Hey Shirley!! Long time no talk to!! How are you? Hope things are progressing very well for ya! I'm on my way..I should be ready to be submitted to insurance by the end of the week! =) Can't wait to be on the other side of this journey! Drop me a line sometime! =)
