I am sure you will be fine. How long do you have to stay off work?

Hey girly! I see you have lost 22 lbs! Congrats! How's it going? I still have not made it to my size 12's but I'm close!!

Hi! Yes, I am doing good now. I have my ups and downs but all in all I cannot complain. I have started working with a trainer, however, not very consistantly but at least once a week I see him and do my own thing at least 3-4 days out of the week. My eating varies...it depends on the tightness of my band like now I am really tight so I just try to get in what I can. Mostly baked fish and veggies if I dont go out to eat. But my eating is not consistant at all. Its working so far so I'm not complaining! :-)

I was banded in Dec 08. I have lost 80 lbs. I did stick to a plan at first but now I have gotten lazy. I'm still trying to stay with a plan but I fall off from time to time. That doesnt stop me though...I pick it right back up and keep going. You are doing great! 14 lbs in one month...that is awesome...keep up the good work...you can do it!

I am so sorry I missed this message. Thank you so much and congrats to you on getting your band and starting your new journey. I am happy that I can encourage you and hope to continue. This new life is hard work but you can do it. Just figure out what works best for you and make it happen! :-)

Thanks for the pic comment!

Hey thanks! I actually had surgery december 2008.

Hey! thanks for the pic comment!

Hey girly! I have to check on you often cuz I know you are a little disgusted with your band...so how are you doing? I hope its getting better.

So cool! I loved Dr. Benevides. He was one of the few doctors that didnt make you feel rushed and gives you time to ask all the questions you need. Congrats on having your surgery. Keep me posted on your progress!

awww...i'm sorry you are having a rough time. it will get better! i still dont know what "full" feels like. i have to measure my food otherwise i will over eat and be in pain. some people just dont feel it like others do. once you get some good restriction the pounds are gonna melt off...it just takes a little patience...but DONT GIVE UP!!! YOU CAN DO IT! I am up to almost 8 cc's in my 10 cc band. I got lucky b/c my band was already filled with 6 cc's when they put it in so i had restriction from the beginning. As of now I am down about 75 lbs. I was up to 80 but I have gained a good bit back because I went and got unfilled so i can go on vacation next week but you best believe i will be running to the clinic to get filled up again!

Thanks! I noticed you were in Atlanta so I like to keep up with my Atlanta peeps when I find them :-) Good luck on your upcoming surgery. Keep me posted!
