About Me

  • Biography
    I'm a musician, and I currently weigh 275. I'm thinking about getting the band because I want permanent "help" with my lifestyle change. With everything I read on here, I feel even more inspired to really do something this time that will help me.

  1. Happy 34th Birthday musicfrommyheart!

  2. okay give me a minute to figure out this new profile...lol everything looks so different. Hello my Fellow Libra Diva Did you have a Good B-Day ? Yes I agree WE have to get back on track... it's an everyday battle and process !

  3. Trying to get back on track. Loving my life and determined to get everything in order.

  4. Hey lady thanks for the post. Glad to hear that things are getting better!

  5. Hey fellow Libra, girl. Welcome back! Let's do it. It was great hearing from you today :).

  6. Hey GypsyGirl, thanks for the comments. I've actually decided to log onto SparkPeople. After being on it for about a month now, I've lost 17 lbs. So, I feel like I'm back on track, even though I haven't lost all of the weight that I put back on after the surgery. But still, my band feels tighter, and I'm getting better. How are you doing? How are you dealing with your plateau?

  7. Hi, don't be bored. I am on day 60ish and I am on plateau...

    Lots Of Gas And Back Pain

    Wow, I have to say that I'm so relieved to see this post. I'm not even sure what to do anymore. I was banded last March, lost about 30 pounds before the surgery and another 20 after the surgery but I had the weirdest issue with gas (and still do). For me, I always get severely bloated if I DON'T eat. It drives me crazy. The only way that my stomach can feel better is after I eat. Sometimes, if I wait to long to eat, my stomach gets so bloated and gassy, I can't even stand up straight. I went to the doctor, and they did the GI test and discovered that my band was working properly and that I had no other issues, but still the gas hasn't gone away. I've gained almost all of my weight back and am very disappointed in my band. I'm almost ready to just have the thing taken out and go back to square one. If I continue to have this gas issue, I'm going to go to the doctor one more time, and then I'm going to look into alternatives. I can't take it anymore.
  9. Hi i was banded 12/23/8.my wt is up and down.last wed. I weighed 171.down from 229 last dec. In a loose 12 goal.a comfortable 8.hopefully a will be in a 10 in all pants and dresses,and skirts by christmas.

  10. good to hear from you, i've been struggling myself and have to hit a plateau right now that has me sooo frustated and discouraged...just uggghhhhh ! so i dont really have any tools, i need some myself because i have ran out.

  11. hey girl! Good to hear from you. Yes, I'm down 50 pounds and holding. I've been moving, traveling, and working like crazy and now am trying to get back on track. It isn't easy, but I feel good that I've maintained my weightloss throughout it all. How are you holding up? What kinds of tools are you using to help you keep focused?

  12. ahhh you sound so down, are you okay ? i was about to put out a BAND ALERT for you...lol well everything is going okay on my side, still not losing at the rate i'd like to be but i've gotten comfortable with the fact that as long as i continue to lose i'll get there ! just with out a speeding ticket. i've made it to around 50lbs also, long as it does'nt go up i'm GOOD !
