it may not feel like it right now and hard to believe, but each day that passes, you will get/feel better...keep sipping/resting and remain positive....the new you is here

((((((((lellow)))))) hugs to you, am enjoying your new pictures..you rock it GF

this was outstanding......agree with all points of this post...

hey poker buddy .....so glad you are back....and even better such a wonderful time you had

and some say the band dont work.........well GF, you keep on proving them wrong

you can eat what you want (the band can help you eat less)..dont be afraid to eat..food is meant to be enjoyed, so do it..make good decisions....eat slow, take small bites, chew alot.......i eat beans everyday..as i like them nearly as much as i love sammy hagar

yes i have heard of it..its a def yes in my opinion. here is some more info: http://www.breast-plastic-surgery.org/nipple-enlargement.html

i am tying hard not to buy clothes as like you, no idea if it will fit...i have bought some and it not too long that it turns out to be too big (thats a good thing)........enjoy the ride as it will take you all the way to your goal.

well i will jump for joy with youwhoooooooo whooooo GF

best of luck to you all stay positive and know you CAN and WILL succeed

welcome back and glad you had a nice time :wub:

GREAT job GF i got to onderville 2 friday myself......so here is to both of us:

am sorry for whatever happened when i am upset/sad/mad...i go take a walk.......and a hot bath works wonders also again, am sorry...hang in there okay

hey missy, in the late 90s, i hd a breast reduction..i went from triple I to a c cup......my breasts was long and nerly hung down to my belly button..no fooling...they took off 9 pounds....i had to buy penny rich bras from the bra patch...check out their website if you can..great quality and lasts a long time....hope it helps

very well said: Everything is a lifestyle, with or without the band. We choose to eat what we do, so the choice to eat healthy or unhealthy is totally up to you.

some people may not know what to say....i find i am that way as if i say something it maybe took wrong or something......maybe that is what happened here...i dont know.....but do not let it get you down. its YOUR journey..it is about you....no one else can make you happy or sad but your decision to be that way.....so make the decision to rise above whatever, head up and keep on moving forward to goal......very happy for you and super proud as janice said.

what gets me back on track.......looking at a picture of me (before).....at my well over 300+ self......and then i have a pic in my wallet and on my cell phone of my hub and me wearing a skirt i wore last summer...we both fit and it has room......yeah, need motivation, getting down on myself.....those 2 things snap me right out of it.......even if it seems slow, remember do you want it like it was? NOT..........good job in turning it around

trouble breathing? need to make a call to your dr (and lap band doctor) as this is NOT normal

well, i usually say, this is what i have (gained)....my mobility and my self esteem as this means MORE to me than what the number i have lost...TRUTH 100%......sure i have lost alot but i had alot to lose and still do.....i say this because if someone had trouble (simply walking) as i did a mere 14 months ago, me saying me walking again is what i'd answer..

hey jim i read this last night and wanted to respond but on my lap top at home with my long nails its hard for me to type (fast/alot) so i waited til i got back to work..your progress is amazing....you know from our convo's you are one of my inspirations and i am sooooooo proud of you....your wife has the BEST example of a success story...tell her i said so i find if we say i am gonna do this a certain number of times, we tend to stress and if we dont, we stress more and then it consumes us.... i think if you work out (when you can), it will count as you know, i am in agreement with you....everything we do movement wise counts.....us larger BMI people took things for granted..... so dont get caught up on a set number of times per week just do what you can, when you can.......that is what you have told me before......i remember that work is crazy......i dont have time to do much of anything and when i get home i want to crawl into a hot bath, then my bed and go to sleep....some days i walk....some days i do my aerobics, some days i dont.......i just do what i can.......i eat good, let the band work and stay positive and focused........just LIKE YOU ARE saggy skin, i feel ya but my ole man said to me would i rather be fat with tight skin (well over 300+ ) or nearly under 200 and some saggy skin.....give me sag any day love ya virginia

looking absolutely fantastic
