First of all I have a very unique love story. I've known and loved my wife since I was 14 years old. Love at 1st site for me. It took her some time but I was patient..LOL Now you see I had grown up pretty much on my own, absent real parents and authoritive figures. This led to many problems as you may imagine. I was wild child and worse teenager. My wife however was in a loving, christian home. She married off to a Doctors son and began her life early and very stable. I was fighting the worlds temptations, Money, drugs,alchohol,women, and well you get the idea. We both married and divorced. All the while she knew I always loved her. Once we got together which i may add she said God had put us together as she had prayed for a true love. Guess what? I popped right up at the right time. My life changed. Its been nothing but success for us and me since then. Great life and career plus we are very happy 9 years running. She came to me well together. Perfect credit. Never missed an appt. always in church on Sunday. Helping people out. Well manored. Not to mention Beautiful Woman. I had a negative credit -600 FICO I'd say, hosted regular Poker games on Sundays. Enjoyed the nightlife you know. Never on time. Overweight and I doubt really a knockout kind of guy. But she knew I'd always loved her. I never made that a secret. My 1st wife never liked that too much either by the way. Now I'm very active and she is not. I go to the mtn camping and riding bikes. Running many miles a week. Lift weights. Always on the go. She stays home and is fine with it,Goes to College. We are great together but opposites in many ways. Together we are a very happy and successful couple.

I wanted to see the response on this though...Thanks...

As I have been banded a while I am very proud of how things have went. I have derailled myself with drinking mixed drinks and eating more than I need to. This by cheating. Over the last few months I've corrected that. I have listed new goals and I am determined to get there. I have seriously increased my exercise and I will never drink alchohol again.... Anyone here in the Dalton Ga are who'd like to join me for a workout or run send an email..... Notice the 198 by New Years. Pray for me to hit this mark. One anything would thrill me to death!

Question about tight chest after banding
bobby_hamrick replied to Big girl banded's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This very thing happened to me to the tune of me going into the office, Its gas. Yeah gas. I thought i was having some major heart problem or lung problem. Took my breath and I seemed to struggle breathing a time or two. I relaxed quickly though and it went away forever quickly. I panicked I guess. Hoping for more than a week off work I guess! -

Wanted: Help For The Anxious!
bobby_hamrick replied to FullofGRACE's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Maybe 2 years for just the weight loss but is everything calculated in there. The quality of time spent with your family will better. You can set a better example. You will be much more active and less depreseed too. I couldnt see how any scientist could even specualate the years added. Too many things to consider. Different strokes for different folks. Since the band I have exercised for 3 years running. My resting heart rate is 57 now. Down 23 BPM. How many beats you figure Ive added in the last 2 years.??? Many benefits and I swear I'd rather have done this than a root canal or crown! They would have to fight me to get my band Back! -

This happened to me too. It took 6 adjustments to get me right. The first 3/NADA, some help. I have the 4 cc band with 5 cc;s in it and I'm perfect. I can chaet and eat or use it and lose it. MY choice..Naver eating too much either way...

Alcoholic beverages for Lap Banders?
bobby_hamrick replied to DAA's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Darank too mich and it derailed my weight loss! Had no problem getting anu of it down though. I have since stopped and I have began a nice weight loss again... -
How long has it been since you began. You've made the decision to make a huge change that doesnt require surgery. Start now. Diet and exercise before and after the band. This was my decision when I had this done. Ive been there ever since. my weight comes off very slow but I had a problem with diet. Liqid calories. I am very pleased though. I couldnt have asked for a better team than Dr Fromm. The absolute best at weight management here in Dalton. Tell them I said that. If you have specific questions message me here. I only took about 90-120 days from beginning to end.

What are the High Protein drinks you would recommend the most Or way of mixing powder
bobby_hamrick replied to shell04937's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
These bacame a part of my regular breakfast. I have been through many types and I like the Six Sense at walmart as a base or Muscle Milk is great too. I mix this with Flax oil,Psyillium Fiber, Total Body Formula Multi vitamin and nutrient,always a bananna with blackberry,strawberry, or raspberry frozen organic fruit. I put in plain Yogurut, and whole D milk (4%). Mix it up! This is always breakfast and it keeps me on the straight and narrow. Everyone is different and you have to do trial and error. I liked the Metrx also. :bandit -

rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids plus show a significant help in the fight of prostate cancer. I feel that the fiber is essential for us especially the banders because we lose a lot once banded. The sillium and flax seed oil coupled with (matcha) fine green tea powder, blueberries, vitamins, powder I feel is the 1,2, punch.' The plavor of the one source I believe is pineapple but it taste like nothing I have tried. Very good in my breakfast shakes. Since banded I dedicated myself to exercise. I have done 2 5K's simce and regularly run 4-5 miles now. I lift weights 3 times a week too. I am still bulky but very healthy. Resting HR is 59 BPM it was 82 when I was banded. I've saved a lot of beats. One thing I want to add. When you have a drink such as this with the sillium fiber a hour later when you drink water you will still feel full and I normally dont eat until5-6 hours after I have this, Another recent trick. At 3-5AM for me Maybe PM for most a handful of carefully chewed walnuts. These will keep you full I promise til bedtime. And they are great for your heart and circulation. Yes the fiber andflax keep me perfectly regular and its all that does for me. :confused:

70lbs in 3 years! im in

I eat real butter, olive oil, Sour Cream and always use 2% or whole milk which is only 3% by the way. Real Cheese also. I have lost weight slow but steady. I love red meat and have a steak most every week. Med/rare. I am most successful when I cook and eat at home. It is when I find myself eating out all the time when I struggle to lose or actually gain. Its a terrible cycle for me. Preparing at home is key I believe.

It took some time to perfect my breakfast shake. I use whey protien, sillium fiber, flax seed oil, One Source Ultra Liquid vitamin, Green tea powder, black berries, Bannana. 1 Cup of milk. On most days this is breakfast. All Organic products and One Source is the absolute best vitamin I have found for me. Fruit is changed around but I usually get the Bannana in there everyday. I try to snack on walnuts if I can but sometimes they dont go so smooth. I used to juice alot and I am sorry I sold my Juicer.
