Oh NO!!! If my feet shrink after surgery, I'll be out like 30 pairs of shoes!!! And a lot of money. I never thought of this. Lol yikes. Oh well guess what!!?! Hubby's gonna hate me!!! Hahhahah.

Omg. I'm only 5 ft tall. My butt is so big I wear an 18/20!! LoL. Hard to believe someone 5'9 could be the same guess it's all how people are per portioned.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Eyewonder. And everyone for the words of encouragement. Thought it wasn't my post, I'm having doubts now that my surgery date (aug 15th) is set. Can I do this??? I've struggled diet after diet.. I went to a lapband information night a year ago, but it wasn't the right time- NOW is the time for me& just this morning, I called on God to help me though yet another turning point in my life. I pray he walks this path with me. Yesterday was a good day- I was in 100% for the surgery. Then then next day doubt. Seeing others go through the same thoughts and emotions really help. Thank u all.

At a recent pre-op meeting. The 80/20 rule was bought up. Eat right and correctly 80% of the time. And leave a 20% margin for era. We are not all perfect. Or we'd all already be healthy and fit. We are human and make mistakes. The band is different for every single person. What works for one may not work for another. It will be a leading expirence as I go. My surg is aug 15. Can't hardly wait. I was told to try a timer set for meals so eat slower and chew. I'm having an issue as well with that. As a hairdresser, I have to eat quick ause I have clients waitin!! But I'm trying to make myself healthy now and taking the time I need. We can only try. Good luck to you!!!

Jealousy is an EVIL. People in general have been very opinionated when I talk about getting healthy and banding. I thin they're jealous a bit that now I'll look better than them or something. It's a shame, I love me and only want to be healthy - at 38. I want to live long enough to see my 3 year old babies be born and lots more!! Good luck. My surgery is aug 15. So excited but a very emotional time as well.

Hi. Good luck to you:) my surgery is set for Aug 15th, though it's over 2 months away, I'm gearing up!! Excited to hear about your journey.

Hi all. My journey began on march 26th 2012. At 222.5lbs. 5ft tall. And 38 years young. My surgery date is set for August 15 2012. Of course that pending review board ect. But I'm on my way. I've lost 6.5 lbs so far by changing my diet and exercise. I'm trying so hard to make all the right changes especially mentally. Feeling really great about myself. Im excited to make some new friends so we can support each other. happy Monday!!!!
