Everything is going amazing right now nice to meet you! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. So busy with school/work. How are you? How's your band journey going?

Yes. Stick to meats as much as you can. They fill you up much quicker. Avoid carbs though like rice and potatoes. But the secret I've found is resetting your diet every few weeks. Like indulge in a few carbs. Otherwise my body got wise and would still retain some weight. I've steadily lost though with that trick.

Hey there. Thanks! I was banded at the end of December of lat year. Are you banded yet?

Hey you! How'd that interview go!?

Hey just wanted stop by and say good luck on your journey!

Haha yeahhhh me too New York? I'm kind of jealous. I live in Austin, Tx. I'm from San Antonio though, I just moved here. I love it! I don't think I could ever live outside the city. Haha. Do you go to school?

Yeah I can't lie I break my diet sometimes. But my job is all exercise so I end up working it off anyways. There's times when I don't even get hungry all day. It's weird. Haha I guess my name should have been self-explanitory too where ya from?

Thanks I love the band. i'm still able to eat what I want just not as much. Being a poor college student that saves me so much money it's not even funny. The journey has been amazing. Hearing all the people tell me how great I look is even better. I don't think I've ever talked to you before. Ha. I'm Drew.

Hey there. I was just looking at your pictures and I wanted to say good job! Congrats on the weight loss! How do you like it?

Hey there. Just wanted to stop by and give some words of encouragement to a fellow guy bandster! Stick with it and it'll pay off. I'm Drew by the way. Haha.

All it takes is focus and exercise. Start changing the way you eat now then it'll just seem natural when you have the band. I lost about 45 pounds before I even had the surgery.

That's awesome! Congrats. Ahh moving out is so much fun. Especially now that we're not fat I'm doing great. Almost to goal! I just moved to Austin, I got a new job at Costco pushing carts (constant exercise so I'm getting into shape QUICK) and I'm living with two girls. Haha.

Heeeeeyyyyy. You're looking awesome. Keep it up

Down 60+ pounds! Nice! Keep it up bro. It only gets better from here.

Hey! How are you?

Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. Yeah, fast food is a killer. I only eat it when I know I have the time to work it off later. How've ya been?

Heyyy how ya doing man?

Hahaha yessss I was brushing my teeth. I gotta multitask!

I was insured. My insurance company was Aetna. They were surprisingly easy to deal with. I lost just under 50 pounds before the surgery and I still got approved.

I've been really good. Just crossed the 100 lbs lost mark. I'm waiting til I'm down a little more before I get a TT. I'm almost 100% sure I want it though. How are you?

Yeahhhh so I'm really considering a TT... good idea or no? By the way long time no talk!

Dude how's the band working for you!?

Haha dude not a weird question at all. I'm still loosing and as it stands right now, I have a bunch of excess skin. But I prefer the skin to the weight. I also have a lot of excess skin on my thighs and arms. But I'm only 6 months post op. For exercise I don't do anything too fancy. I lift weights every other day (I'll take an extra day if I'm really sore) and do at least 45 minutes on the treadmill. Now I just walk but I do it at a 10 degree incline. Burns more calories. Feel free to ask more questions. I remember how nervous I was and how many questions I had!

JANE!!! I didn't forget about you

Haha well I appreciate the compliments! How's the band going for you?
