So I've decide to try some of my old clothes and shirts wow wow I was able to wear some of my clothes that months ago they didn't fit :wink:. Ok now I need to get jeans and pants and shirts, so I've decided to go to the mall and go to the plus size store like I usually do but something inside of me said not to and go to a regular / normal store. ( I don't know what to call it since I was always going to plus size stores) So I tried some shirts and pants and was having so many many WOW moments :eek::eek::w00t::thumbup: the sales associate was so helpful I didn't know what size shirt and pants I was. So I purchase my 1st normal size shirt and pants wow its been such a long time.

Well in my case I had to do the same things you are going through and my doctors office said it could be 4-6 weeks for my insurance to say yes or no. Double check with your doctors office. At one point I did want to give up, but my husband was very supportive and I had to think positive and things came through. I hope all goes well for you, please let me know what happens.

I eat oatmeal, yogurt, and jello for breakfast and snacks, I feel the same way. I can't do bread, I can do 1/2 a crossant. Fruits that are easy are bluberry, tangerines, strawberry and bananas. Good luck on your WL journey!!! I wish you the best!!!

Hi, I'm here if you want to talk, please don't hesitate to ask anything. I know what you are experiencing but it will be worth it. I don't regret it at all and I do it in a heart beat.

Wow I have noticed the amount of energy that I have. I'm able to go to the gym 3xs a week for now, on mondays I do a 30 min pilates, 30 min of yoga and then 1 hour of cardio latin. Tuesday 1 hour of cardio latin and saturday 45 min of cardio and 1 hr of spinning class. The spinning class is very motivating to bust your butt and love it :thumbup: :confused::tt1: Some sundays we are able to play tennis with my friends and wow that is another big improvement a long time ago I was only able to play for like 30 min now we play for hours straight, what I do is take my crystal light and a fruit cup for snacks. Also I'm able to job light with my dogs, my plan is to be able to run straight with my dogs, little by little I will be able to do that in the future.

Looking to see if anyone from florida had lapband or any other bariatric surgery. I don't have any friends in florida that are going to have or had this procedure, well I do but she lives in Chicago IL, just trying to make new friends that I can relate to in Florida.

Yes your life will change for the better, I was a size 22 and banded 3/21/09 and I don't regret it at all. I love my new journey, you will see changes on you like energy, confidence, self esteem, wanting to do new things in life. Sorry to hear about yout ex but remember things happen for a reason and it was not meant to be. Good luck in your new life and journey I wish you the best.

I was banded 3/21/09 and what you are feeling is ok, I went through the what was I thinking but remember its a new chapter in your life and a new journey. Do you know anyone that has had this procedure? The reason why I asked is because I had my friend and she had the procedure and she talked to me alot she was here with me for my surgery and after surgery. I was blessed to have her with since we can talk about it. If you want to talk I'm here for you. Remember you will be able to eat but for now your body needs to heal and recover from your procedure. You will gradually re-introduce food but in portions. Best wishes in your journey.

That is great news, everything you've said wow brings back my memories of my pre-op. The last 2 days will go by so fast, I wish you the best on your journey.

Is any one having problems with taking vitamins? I'm trying to take womens one a day but the pills are too big so I've cut them in half but its still too big and I get the nauseous feeling. I'm having my oatmeal for breakfast and I'll take an hour later and still get that nauseous feeling. Does any one have any suggestions?

thanks for the suggestions I appreciate it

ok so my first fill was in may 5, 09 and it was 3.3 cc and saw my doctor in june and doctor said no fill since I had lost 9lbs. :cool::smile2: The scary part I thought I had not lost any weight since I was not working out at the gym but I have been doing house chores and cutting my grass and etc. I think my body has gotten used to it and because I've noticed I am able to eat more and more. I have my doctors appointment this week and we'll see what the doctors say. I also don't think I've lost weight either but we'll see waiting anxious for my doctor visit.

I've had the surgery and my husband was aware of it, he went with to the dr visits and seminars. To this day he is helping me on my eating and being supportive when I have my good and bad days. I wish you the best girl, maybe he is scared you might leave him when you have met your goal and look good. Best of luck to you :thumbup:
