thank you!!! -
OMG!!! Are you kidding me! Thats insane! WOW! Congrats! You must be so proud. You are amazing! -
Chocolate_Snaps- It made me smile when I read your post. It is funny how I use to dread seeing people from long ago, especially high school. I always knew they would be thinking, "Wow, she let herself go!" Now I take every opportunity to see people from my past because as shallow as it seems I love the compliments. At times it is what keeps me going! My current NSVs are: -Shopping in the juniors dept. -getting rid of all of my XL t-shirts and 18/20 jeans! -Someone saying, "You don't need to lose anymore weight!" haha yes I do, but NO ONE has ever said that to me! -Being the same size I was my SOPHOMORE year of HIGH SCHOOL!!!! :tongue2:

I'm down 50 and don't have any drooping and/or loose skin! Knock on wood... I do workout 3 times a week, cardio and weight training! That may have something to do with it as well as my age! I'm 22. I would still like to lose another 50 so hopefully I will continue to be lucky and everything will stay in place!

Hey! I would absolutely do the surgery over again. It has changed my life in such a positive way... I can't even begin to tell you. It hasn't been easy but it absolutely has been worth it. I had a huge anxiety attack before surgery in the pre-op room and actually considered walking out. I think the hardest thing is that it is a choice and you are always concerned whether or not you are making the right one. I am confident in the fact that I made the right choice, I now no longer have to live life being heavy and unhappy. I never have to weigh 264lbs and I never have to buy a pair of 22 jeans again! I am a huge advocate for this surgery because of the way it has made me feel about myself.
Fill- they are hands down a piece of cake!
I hate needles, hate shots, hate IV's, but fills dont bother me. It is pretty much painless.Best of luck to you regardless of what you decide to do.

Hi!! How excited for Monday you must be! Lap-band has been the most amazing thing ever for me! I was soooo nervous the day of surgery, seriously contemplating if it was the right option. Now 5 months out... I am so thankful I went through with it. I weighed 264 before surgery and was juts getting heavier and heavier every year. It is so nice now that every time I step on the scale the number goes down. The hardest thing for me was the first month... liquids and mushy foods... it was awful. Just keep your eye and the prize and stick to it tho... it the long run it really helps you. Also I had to learn how to eat all over again. I feed myself like I would a two-year old. Cut every thing in little bites and take my time chewing, I eat soooo slow! If you have any questions at all let me know! Best of luck to you! It is such an exciting journey!

Progress... still hoping for another 50! -
It has been forever since I have been on here! I am so happy for all of you that are still continuing to melt away! :drool: I have lost 47 pounds and am soooo excited to hit that 5-0 mark! Some of my recent NSV's are: 1.) Airplane ride to Santa Barbara... NO problem sitting in the seats! I even had a little extra room! 2.) I bought my first pair of Seven jeans... size 14! Suuuuper excited! I was up to a size 20 b4 surgery! 3.) I no longer wear an XL just a L and let me tell you I lovvve every second of it! 4.) The guy I'm dating was like "WOW, you've lost a lot of weight!" 5.) I went shopping in this little boutique called Divaz and totally fit into their L size dresses.... again very excited bc I use to never be able to shop in those boutiques. 6.) Being called "Tiny," "Skinny Minny," "Little."

I obvivously need to go to the doctor... but in the meantime I just wanted to hear from all of you! I have 3.25cc's in a 10cc band and get stuck on EVERYTHING!! Real quick on everything I've gone through so far... I had surgery and came out with 4cc's in my band. That first week I couldn't even drink water! So they removed all Fluid and then have been slowly working their way up! I got up to 3.75cc and thought I was going to die! Everything I ate, I threw up. So I went to the doctors they took pictures of my band to make sure everything looked right... and it did. She removed fluid and sent me on my way. I was ok for like 2 weeks and then BOOM... I can't eat anymore. It is really frustrating and not healthy. I swear some people think I have an eating disorder bc A.) I never eat and B.) I throw up 5 times out of 10. Has anyone else experienced this much discomfort when eating?? It is funny... I use to LOVE eating (ha! part of the reason why I had to get Lap-Band) and now it is a task and I really dread it. :thumbup: I cannot enjoy anything. I am miserable... except for when I get to go shopping and buy a smaller size! Hmmm.... if only I could shop instead of eat. haha only kidding.

That sounds scary... I'll mention it to my doctor. Thanks for the advice. :tongue_smilie:

You are gorgeous yourself!As far as my trainer... well I'm pretty lucky because he is also my boyfriend!
We do about 30 minutes of cardio and weight training. I think it is really important to keep your muscles strong and also help my skin from getting super loose! He works at Pure Fitness on Rural and Baseline... if you ever want to meet up I'd be happy to show you what I do daily. I have tons of free passes so don't worry if you don't have a membership.Hope to hear from you soon!
