Hey everyone, I'm Tiffeny, from Westminster. I am starting a monthly support meeting for my area. I would like to invite all who would like to attend. The first meeting is schedule for Thursday June 25th @ 7pm at my home in Westminster. This will be completely informal. I'm newly banded only 5 months. I'm looking to meet others in my area that can relate to what I am going through. Please let me know if you are interested and I will send you out all the info. :grouphug:

Hi everyone, I'm Tiffeny. I got my band 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. I started my journey at 356 and am now down to 238. I have hit a plateau, but I think it is only because I have gotten comfortable. I could go back in an get a fill, but I don't think I want to be any tighter. I just need to get my butt in gear and exercise, which has never been a favorite of mine. I live in Westminster. I used to have a support group that met at my house every month. We did it for almost a year, but it came to an end when personal schedules got in the way and everyone has to start cancelling. I don't have time for support groups on a monthly basis anymore, but am always up for talking to other banders for moral support. Tiffeny -

Hi Betty, Are you doing the liquid diet right now, or are you talking about the two weeks after surgery? I never did liquids before surgery, but after I lived off the slim fast drinks. I have friends that loved the tortilla soup from El Pollo Loco, but they only drank the broth. That was a great treat for them. Where are you having your surgery at? -
Orange county and surrounding areas. Is anyone interested in a clothing swap?

My goodness that is amazing to hit your goal in only 6 months. WOW My doctor and I just realized a realistic final weight for me of 155-165. I'm happy sticking to my little goals. My next is to hit 250. Congrats again. That is wonderful.

I've found the new lifestyle very rewarding. I started my journey right around Thanksgiving and lost 22 pounds before my surgery on Jan 7th. I just hit my 6 months yesterday and I am down 60 since surgery and 82 since Thanksgiving. Everyone loses differently, but I'm very happy with my results so far.

Cammy, I just read your story in the album and my heart goes out to you. I'm sure most of us can relate to being teasted about our weight. No matter the circumstance it shouldn't happen. It just sickens me to know that others feel that they can treat others so badly. I wish you all the best of your new journey and hope that you get the results that you so richly deserve.
I started my journey 6 months ago at 356 lbs, so I know what it is like to be the fat chick. Hang in there and embrace your new lifestyle and you will inturn reap the rewards. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress.
