hey girlie, everything happens for a reason and your friend getting married is a great one. keep your chin up, your date will get here soon enough

grrrrrrrrrr! >_< i HAVE to stay on my plan because the scale and i have been fighting for over two weeks... i know i can win.

(well, im at work so lets see how long this is going to take,lol!) my name is krysten, i live in norwalk,ca;southeast los Angeles county.i just turned 25 on 3/15. i'm happily married with one cat, Roxy LeMew. i spoil both of them to death!!! i have the best supportive family anyone could ask for; they've given me their blessing to get wls. my date's scheduled for 5/22 and i cannot wait for this journey to begin. i've been fat almost all of my life, with the exception of my sophmore year in h.s. and when i was 19-20yrs old. i shed a lot of weight sophmore thru old fashioned diet and exercise, gained back + some more. then when i was 19 1/2 had lipo done, followed a strict green diet,lost weight,and gained it all back within 2years :ohmy:. yay me.(i hope you noticed my sarcasm!) from then on, i have been gaining weight steadly. i have always gone to the gym, or walked, but i sometimes go thru hectic phases in my life were i cannot make it to the gym or out for my walks. i know when i get banded, this will change; my health is my priority. i'm trying to incorporate the healthy lifestyle now, preband, so it hopefully won't be so hard after banding. i'm 263ish, it goes up or down every week. my bmi is 41; i think. my weight really never caused any health issues until now. my knees hurt sometimes, my lower back is hurting all the time, and being overweight has caused me to become infertile. :huh2: i sometimes can't believe i let myself go... this SUCKS! i try not to think about it so much. my husband and were trying to get pg, but when i found this out i completely freaked out. the good thing is that my doc said to loose weight and this could help get everything back to normal, then try for the baby. this is reason #1 why i'm getting surgery done. i mean, i can diet & exercise, but this will take me a couple of years to do at my pace, whereas if i had a powerful tool like the band, i know it will help me loose weight a little faster. that's my story... looking forward to getting to know all of you wonderful people!

these are all so cool; awesome job ladies!:ohmy:

tough descisions; so many great ones :thumbup:

hey miles!!!!! we share the same b-day,our BAND-day that is! congrats on the date!!! :thumbup:

you're a genius!!!!!!!! i friggin' love it :tt1::eek:!!!!!!!! *BRAVO!* when are we voting for names? time's a tickin' for may (its going to be here before we know it!)

okay people, although i am about 80% comfortable with my fatness (i must admit my mindset is like, if they make it in my size,i'll wear it) but the other 20% is like...."ikkk girl, you're too fat to be wearing that!" with this said i can't wait to wear simple body hugging jeans with regular cutsie tops. nothing that costs me an arm & leg. now i spend about $180.00 for three tops and a pair of jeans. I do want at least one pair of GUESS jeans; that's my dream to fit into a pair. i'm more of a sneakers kind of chick, but i do have pairs of expensive shoes from when i was smaller...ALDOS are my fav and i do have several pairs of those i can't wait to rock those out! trips....i do travel to maui every year, and yes, my fellow big brothers & sisters are out there too, but i want to be comfortable knowing people might not be thinking,"oh look at the beached whale!" yes i do walk around with my head held high,pretending that it doesn't bother me to be in a swimsuit, but it does. i'm not fishing for compliments, but an occasional, "wow your body looks great," would be nice, instead of the 'ol "you have such a pretty face!" (gag me, i've heard that all my life!) i would love to work up my exercising, jogging, to eventually keep up with my 50 y/o mom who jogs 10miles everyday nonstop...i think thats probably up there with top three. i think she's amazing for doing this (love my momma). i want to be able to go to magic mountain and get on all the rides; i haven't gone because i'm afraid they'll say, i'm too big. i want to feel comfortable around my hubby nekkid:wub: ! i want to go atv-ing with him and his friends; he's been trying to get me out to glamis FOREVER. there are so many things, but #1 priority, is to get pg in (*God willing/crosses fringers/hopefully/sprinkle baby dust*) the following 2-3yrs after... that's why im having this done to begin with, all the other things are perks ...thanks for listening sorry i wrote a lot :wink:... p.s.LOVE this thread!!!!!

i'm staying on plan today because i "kind of" have been, but i need to get back on track (100%)....want to be at least -10lbs @ surgery.

no pre op diet required here; every doc has their own requirements.

here you go, just click on the link below :thumbdown: Ticker TUTORIAL (WITH PICTURES!)

well, it may just be me not paying close enough attention, but i don't see the lbt guys with their month names. there are the victorious valentines, shrinking violets, and someother 'girly' ones out there...i wonder if we can go girly too???:shades_smile: all these may names are faboulos by the way...

A MILLION CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::Dancing_shocked:

i just can't wait until i get to do the things i want to do; this weight stops me from doing so much. maybe i can do them,but i'm afraid i'll look ridiculous. like,snowboarding...i already told dh, when all this weight comes off,that's one of the first things i want to do. another is go to a normal size store and try on EVERYTHING for the heck of it! i think when i'm finally there,i'll cry. this procedure is really is a new begining for all of us:redface:

im staying on a plan today because i've been a bad girl these last few days:scared2: gaaaahhhh...

lifechange82: when i went for my first treatment,late january,the tech girl told me for the best effect,the pulse readings on the laser have to be between 10 and 15. anything less than a 10, you really won't see results. i go for my second treatment this saturday, i go to american laser centers here in l.a. i already see the differnce; i have light skin with sick dark hair:cursing: and i HATE the daily shaving with the HEAVY amounts of consealer & foundation; can you ladies feel me?!? but you hang in there. i've had this problem for 11yrs and finally decided to do something about it. maybe you should go to another facility or have a different tech treat your areas...?
