since surgery *august 2005* i have literally only had soda like 2 times. I only have it very rarely and only if thats the only thing i can drink @ that time. I prefer unsweetened Iced tea and water. Some crystal light too.

I had to loose 17 lbs in order to get insurance approval. I ended up loosing 20.5 lbs.

I am sooooooo with you. I only have 24.5 lbs to go til i get to onederland and i can't wait. It would be the first time in MY ADULT LIFE that i was ever under 200..Hey everyone keep up the good work! ~Kristen

I just recently split up wmy BF (about 3 weeks ago) and now that i am single again i am loving the attention ..it makes me feel good when i see a guy looking my way. I only have 44.5 lbs to go and then i am getting a tummy tuck and maybe a breast life ..I can't wait. ~Kristen

I couldn't access lbt this morning from home. kept getting this page is unavailable on every link that i clicked. Luckily i am @ work now and can access it but some of the pages still are not working

I have skin issues..Tummy and arms and inner thighs, I have always been heavy so my elasticity of my skin didnt really work. I have another plastic surgeons appt scheduled for July. I still have 44.5 lbs to loose here are my before and after so far

Julie i really haven't had the chance to post but you look amazing, I am hoping for a tummy tuck and possible breast life at the end of the year. Thanks

I wasn't able to sleep on my stomach until @ least 6 weeks after surgery. Now and again i still have a few times where i am not able to but i love sleeping on my stomach

I haven't been able to eat breakfast in a while, I am just not hungry..LOL. I do try to have a protein shake or egg beaters wcheese when i am hungry. I also have a cup of coffee from Dunkin doughnuts everymorning.

Never again.. I have to agree because i am soooo smitten with my ex. LOL..I felt like i fit right in. He has been messaging me alot lately but its small talk. He did mention to me the other night that he wanted to see what happens because he really liked being with me. but i don't think i want to sit around and wait. You should date too and if you really are smitten with her just take it a day at a time. Go out and have a good time but also keep in the back of your mind everything that has happened and is going on right now. You might find by going out with other people or even friends you might get less and less smitten with her. ~Kristen

I have fast food on a regular basis. Not every week, Not every month, But maybe 1 time every 6-8 weeks. I also eat chinese food and go out to dinner. I am not going to deprive myself because i know if i do i would of end of bingeing. YOU CAN EAT what you want but in smaller quantities and although this might not work for everyone i haven't stopped loosing.. ~Kristen

When i first has surgery they put me at a goal weight of 150 lbs. I asked them to bump it up to 180 lbs because i am so big boned. I have 44.5 lbs to go til i get there and DO plan on having a tummy tuck soon after. I can't really say what my goal weight will end up being until i am actually around 180 and see what my body looks like. I was thinking of trying to get to around 160-165 but i don't want to push it right now.

thanks lee love. I apprieciate your input. I am trying to move on but i HAVE never been great at that. How is everyone else doing?

I know i should forget him..I'm trying too...LOL but its too funny that he wouldn't leave me alone. Geez...he is dating someone already why the hell worry about me ..Must of been a little bit jealous..

I didn't get to finish it all today, I changed my plans around. I will be going back in a few weeks to get more work done..

I posted a pic of my tattoo on the Lap-band Lounge... Go take a look Oh by the way, I went out with mike saturday and had a blast. We did RUN into my ex and he wouldn't leave us alone.. Me and mike were sitting on a bench in the mall talking and my ex (security guard) and his buddy must of walked passed us @ least 100 times in the 45 min that we were sitting there. I got home and had 4 emails from my ex.. I think he was jealous LOL

Already bandsters, How many of you have tattoos? I am getting my zodiac sign (leo) on my right calf along with claw marks getting slashed right through it. Its going to take anywhere from 3-6 hours today. I am excited but nervous all @ the same time :mad:.. I will post pics tonight when i get home , appt is @ 2 so i figure i get home around 6-8pm est.. ~Kristen

Hi denise.. I feel the same way. Don't worry your prince charming is out there. I hate these penis posts too. They are sooooooooooo annoying. I am getting my first tattoo today so i gotta go get ready :mad:

For the longest time i didn't exercise ...Was only loosing 2 lbs a month, Finally something snapped and i started walking on the treadmill regularly..I was loosing 5-10 lbs a month. Now i am back to not exercising. Really need to start again. I have been on the treadmill like twice in the last two weeks. I really need to get moving. I only have 46 lbs to go

I can't wait to have this NSV..I haven't been on amusement park ride in like 5 years!!! OMG I CAN'T WAIT to take my neices to six flags

Thanks denise He doesn't know the guy i am going out with..Hopefully he never will. I think he might have today off. Which in the long run will work out for me cause then i can relax. I am looking forward to going out with mike and getting out for once. Haven't gotten out in a long time. I will keep you guys updated ..I am going to get my hair styled (gotta look nice) in a few hours.

Thanks susan.

I have noticed that now that i am halfway filled 2.0 cc in a 4cc band that i can only have liquids in the morning and for a good part of the afternoon, By evening i can eat small amts. I like it this way and have been loosing steadily but be careful with all liquids. If you think your too tight maybe they should take out .02

I am not looking for another relationship right this second, Just friendship. Mike just got out of a 3 yr relationship where the girl almost bankrupted him. THIS IS MY CONCERN--->. We are going to dinner and the movies the problem is is where we are going (the local mall) My ex works there as a security guard. I don't know how i should act if i see him. Do i just walk by him and ignore him or do i say hello and introduce mike?My ex is dating the girl he cheated on me with so i don't know if i should be the better person or ????? I have never been good at this relationship breakup stuff so i could use some advice. Thanks..

My friend mike wants to take me out this weekend. But i don't know if i am ready, I am still very depressed I guess it would be good to get out and go to dinner and a movie. What do you all think? ~Kristen PS i am getting a tattoo on SUNDAY
