  1. Happy 55th Birthday Slim Down Donna!

  2. Happy 54th Birthday Slim Down Donna!

  3. I have walked the walk. I have lost 30 pounds in a month. If you do not want the advise don't ask. Yes we are here to encourage each other and You are not being encouraging to others. I am not judging when you say how easy junk food goes down. Why are you eating junk food in the first placxe. I am sorry you do not want to hear the truth. I will not respond to your posts any longer.
  4. I am sorry to say this, but it is posts like yours and the people who replied that give lap band surgery a bad rap. What are you doing even letting any jusnk food past your lips? If the more solid meat is too hard to eat grind it up with a blender or something similar. People wake up if you do what you did you will get waht you have alwasy had. (Which is fat and not loosing weight. The most important thing is to drink a gallaon of non caloric fluid a day at least half of which is pure water. Then it is protein and green leafy vegetables. That is it until you have lost all your weight. Then other things can be added. stop playing games and blambing the bad. Do you realize how many people you discourage by posting your cheats then saying how discouraged you are? The responces that supported the posters bad food choices is so wrong. You have been given this gift of a wonderful tool. If you do not know how to work it get yourself educated. Where was your before and after care instructions? The good thing is it is not too late. Start fresh and do it 100 % right. It is not okay to eat what you are not supposed to eat. Hubby was baned 10-21-11 and has lost 40+ pounds. I am going Dec 9. I have already lost 27. Maybe I am irrated because I have not eaten in 5 days of opti fast. Yes, I am hungry but I like the weight loss. You have to be willing to work or get the band removed.

    19 and ready to be banded

    You are off to a good start. Keep doing what you are doing. The 3 months will go by beofre you know it. Keep educating yourself so you learn how to use this tool. It is not a magic bullet. If you work it, it will work for you. Food luck and hang in there.
  6. One star is because I do not know how to operate the computer and site very well. I love Dr. Rehnke and all his office staff. The before and after care is so important. They give this to the fullest. I have also heard Dr. Jesse is wonderful, but I have never met her. Please come to the support group any Thursday evening from 6:30-7:30.

  8. May the Lords healing hands touch you. Lord please give the Physicians wisdom and the power to diagnose and heal. May you have the strength on this journey towards success in weight loss. That you may go forward to honor and serve God for all the blessings he has given to you in your life. Amen
  9. Not to be flippant, but go weigh in with good ankle weights under long pants. Also load your pockets down with coins. Good luck and do not gibe up. Even if it did not work out with current ins. The work will be done to completion for the next ins.

    HOW EXCITING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. I would reply that you have done your homework and are well educated with the lap band. In the process of learning about the lap band it has nothing to do with not doing the diet the normal way. The band is only a tool to help you and that eating right and exercising more is exactly what you will need to do. This is just a tool to help you eat less and never gain it again. Then I would ask dad if he wanted you alive or dead. Becasue doing what you are to date is going to make your life very short and miserable. Then ask for the support, ask if they can't say positive things to not ask or make comment.
  12. Hi SlimdownDonna, I wanted to reach out because I noticed you have Dr. Rehnke listed as well. It shows you only rated him 1 star and I was curious if you had problems or issues? I am nervous going thru this process so wanted to check with you on your experience. My experience thus far has been positive. Thanks!!
