  4. thanks for the compliment.

  5. thanks for the compliments trina. hope all is good with ya.

  6. thanks. only horror story i got man was wearin those size 44" shorts. the surgery has been a breeze for me. i followed the docs directions, and have had few problems. mainly just learnin how much to chew my food, and when i get in a hurry and dont chew well the band lets me know. i can eat anything i did before, but now i just choose not to. so far im very pleased with the route that i went. it absolutely changed my look on bein healthy. good luck with ur decision, its a huge step. but if u make the best of it, its well worth it.

  7. thanks, i eat alot of seafood, packs of tuna, salads with vinagerette dressings, ground turkey. i stay away from red meats. when i snack i snack on kashi products. i drink only water, milk, and sometimes sunny d. i replaced bread with kashi whole grain crackers. ive been tryin to eat pretty strict, and now i enjoy it. as far as exercise, started out just walkin the dogs every evening, then i bought a heavy bag, and a all in one gym from a garage sale, and startin sweatin. holla at me if i can answer any more questions.

  14. thanks for the comments, i feel like a different person too. best of luck to ya.

  15. thank you. 57 lbs in 2 months is awesome, and im sure u will continue to lose it. sounds like ur doin the rite things. thanks again.

  16. i did. i got a koi fish on the outside of my lower leg when i lost 50 lbs. i still have one more sittin before its done. when i reach my goal weight, ill have another koi done on the inside of the leg to make the full sleeve. the koi fish has meanings: bein a non-conformer, kinda swimmin ur own path. and it also symbolizes goin thru adversity and overcomin. i also have plans for full back piece to be done after i loose the weight.
  17. thanks for the comment. haha, i wish i could blame it on gender, that would have made it alot easier. but i changed alot of things too, biggest thing was that if i ate it before, i dont eat it now. thanks again and ur doin well i saw too, 44 lbs good job, keep it up.

  18. thanks for the comments, good luck.

  19. thanks sweet, it wasnt that easy at first, but now its a breeze. I try to exercise regular, and i like to take our dogs for a walk every evening. ive even recently startin joggin in the early mornin. as far as eatin goes, ive decided i wont eat it unless it flies or swims, or grows in the ground. i eat tons of salads (no ranch, i like Kraft's caeser vinaigrette with parmesan). replace ground beef with ground turkey, things like that. i found all kinds of healthy recipes online too that the whole fam could eat. hope i could help. ull do great, and thanks again for the comments.

    lost an entire person so far...crazy

    since i was a kid, one of my nicknames was always Big Buck. i was always a bit heavier than most of the other guys. i never really noticed how big i had really gotten...HUGE. but i did this surgery 5 months ago and am down bout 110 lbs and have no intention of stopin till all the fat is gone. friends and fam be sayin "u dont need to loose it all". thats all fine and good if u aint never been fat. i want it all gone, never want to see it again. thanks to tha band, ive have completely changed my view on food. not only does it regulate the amount i take in, but it has mentally changed my life. im from texas and beef is a regular meal, but now i dont eat it unless it flies or swims, or grows in the ground. i work out regular, ive been gettin up before lite in the mornin and runnin. and i dont buy food unless the nutritional facts meet my requirements. its hard at first to not eat those things u luv, but give it awhile and ull see that tha food u luved was not luvin u back.

  23. im not much of a measurer, so use ur best judgement. large pouch of tuna one egg beaten couple of handfulls of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers handfull of feta cheese (i used the tomato and basil feta cheese) season to taste make into patties, and cook in skillet.
