THey day of my surgery I was 313 and I am 294. I am 5'7. My goal weight is anything under 200 haha. I really don't want to lose my boobs but I know I will cause that's part of it but they will be back...the same doctor who did my surgery does boobies! Umm I would love to be in a size 8 pants one day that would be good enough for me I am confident always so it really don't matter as long as I am healthy!

Hi, I am Ashley I am from Bama. I was banded on the 21 of December, 07'! I did great in surgery after was a different story but I am doing great now. I have lost 21lbs and intend on losing 20 more lbs by the 31st of this month which will be my 20th birthday

umm...I would definatley see a doctor..your body had so much truama with the surgery it could have thrown your hormones off balance it did mine...I had to go to my "down there" doctor lol it's all good now she just said my body was trying to adjust to the difference.

update...he called I didnt answer how proud of me are ya'll!! lol I know that I am proud of me!

I know this may sound HORRIBLE but I am tired of Oprah YES I said it OPRAH!! I mean there are plenty of homeless, deprived americans she could at least help them out some...instead she sends all her money to Africa (which is great) and gives crap away to people on her show..(not so great there's homeless people who need the money) but instead jane doe for Jersey gets a new blender. and everyone else gets a car! I guess I just have a heart for Americans in need...sorry for my rant guys it just bothers me!

any single guys out there from alabama?? lol just curious haha

well it's not permanent you can opt to have it removed but I don't know why anyone would...lol....but only 1% have had to have it taken out due to medical problems from what my doctor said to me...

No they dont' take it out lol..whoever told you was badly misinformed...

oh yes....

most doctors will do the surgery as long as you pay for it

i know and my best friend married his(hottie with the body up there's) best friend...lol she told matt that she's already planning our wedding! it's so hilarious..I think I am gonna show up to a party one day and it be my wedding kinda scary huh? lol

I can't find any pics of russell that doesn't have me and him in them so i def aint putting them on here! lol but he looks no where near as fine as mr matt above! lol

so cha think ladies??

Yeh...I feel like its time..he's pissed me off to no end this time. He got back from Iowa and text me I didn't next back. Well I got on yahoo today and he had sent me an offline saying sorry I havent called I have been busy with mom and my little sis I'll call tomorrow or tonight whenever kim gets out of the house. I know when she goes to work and he still hasnt called!! I am about to blow a fuse and thats rare for me. I have been so good about this and he takes advantage of it all!! I can't believe some of the shit I have put up with but it's stoppin! I am not even gonna answer the phone if he even calls cause if I do I'd blow his hair back and prolly start crying again. And I have already shed more than enough tears for this ass hole. okay and I am gonna post a pic of the other guy and russell and you tell me what cha think :smile:

Hey II am Ashley I am 19 and from Alabama! I had surgery the 21st of december..it was also harder than I expected..I was allergic to my pain pills so I did have anything for pain. But I am doing great now down 21lbs so far..so things are good. Don't worry about gaining the weight back just take things one day at a time, watch what ya eat, and exercise and most of all keep yourself busy so there's no temptations to eat. PM me if ya need any support!

I ate jello, pudding, yogart, soups, and other stuff. I was never really that hungry...I still don't get that hungry at all....you can try some mashed taters or oatmeal or grits. That's what my doctor said for my second week. So I did. I hated the baby food and I did not puree anything! lol I couldn't stand the texture or smell of either!

your doing good!! I think your expecting alot quicker loss but that's normal! It takes time to get used to but you'll be fine..I made people stay outside or eat away from me too! lol

I agree I would like to know more about this!!

Congrats!!! I am very excited for you kudos to your doctor you better get him a great gift!! lol

lunch- I had steamed chinese chicken and veggie lomein noodles supper- my leftovers from lunch I intend on eating a cup of yogart an hour before bed. my doctor is adament about me eating 3 times a day sooo...I am trying! lol

yeh, I don't think anyone will ever have the right answer to this or anything lol

I just know when I am full...it's also mental cause I get so tired of chewing I convince myself I am full as well. I just feel like I can't eat anymore set my timer so I will know when I can get something to drink and keep myself busy!

AMEN TO THAT ONE sweethot143

this is great! I believe that it'll help tons of people!!

I agree with you on that! Goverment involvement is ludacris! I dont know why they think they have some divine right to the 'throne" but they do and it pisses me off lol I had a friend who had an abortion and told me after the fact. Her and her boyfriend were living with their parents and she did it out of selfishness and I guess that's where my bitterness comes from about the subject because there's a possiblilty that I may never be able to have kids and I honestly would have told her I would raise the child and she knows that!! So it's crazy!! lol
