You're welcome! :eek: My prom would not have been the same without my flask! Haha. :w00t:

I would say that drinking is okay as long as you do it in moderation. Becareful not to over do yourself because you really aren't eating that much. Stay away from carbonated drinks... I have a glass (or two!) of red wine with dinner some nights or maybe a lo-cal vodka drink (like the one suggested above)! Have fun and just listen to your body! Nothing wrong with having a good buzz on prom night! :eek:

Yaa! I finally get to post! Ha! I have two pairs of the same jeans... one is size 20 and one is size 18. I never wore the size 18's due to losing the reciept so I bought a 20 because I loved the style. ANYWAY... I went to put the 20's on and waaaaay too big! WOO HOO! The 18's are a bit tight... (I mean who cares if I had to lay down the zip them up)... but THEY FIT! haha. I was stoked!

I came to the conclusion that if loose skin is in my future... well so be it. I have spent almost my whole life being so unhappy about my weight. I am 22 years old and am so self conscious. It is the only thing keeping me from being truly happy. If I can end this battle, I will be able to breath and enjoy my life a little more. I will be more confident and that makes everything worth it. I can deal with loose skin. Loose skin doesn't cause illness or raise your blood pressure. It doesn't prevent you from going on an airplane or a roller coaster ride. It doesn't shorten your life span. Dont get me wrong loose skin will suck, but it is a risk I am willing take.

Congrats on almost getting to goal! That is soo exciting! Graduating too... You'll be a beautiful, SKINNY, graduate! Yaa! I am graduating in December and will hoping be weighing a lot less!
Being self pay absolutely keeps things more motivating. It was a lot of money my parents dished out and I dont want to let them or myelf down!
Keep up the great work!!! YA for August!

Hey all! Just a couple questions I have before the BIG day!! How many days did you all need to take off of work? Right now I have Thursday thru Monday off! Do you think that'll be enough time to recover fully! I am a student and preschool teacher with 15 two year old! Luckily I don't have school that week but will be chasing two year olds! Let me know your thoughts! Also I have been reading about the lack of energy during the liquid diet phase? Any suggestions to improve that!!

Great job! I can totally tell the difference! -
You look great! Congrats! -
My process went sooo freaking fast! On Feb 28th I went to the informational meeting and that day scheduled my surgery for March 12. I had thought and researched lap-band for about 6 months prior to that but never thought it was possible. My insurance company does not cover WLS. My WONDERFUL Mother agreed to pay for my surgery... so she is the reason things are the way they are. I will say... I was stoked about getting the surgery up until like 10 minutes before I went in. I had a bad anxiety attack and could not sit still. I was so worried I would be making the wrong decision. With that being said... this by no means at all was the wrong decision. I am so grateful for my band. :smile2:

Hey there! I was just banded March 12th and I will say that I would do this over again. So far I have lost 15 lbs. The restriction is something I could never do on my own and was my biggest set back. I tried Weight Watchers over and over again, I was always able to stay on course but never could feel full enough. The band has given me that sense of fullness. Surgery is a scary thing but the fact that this is a tool that will keep me thin makes everything worth it. If you have any other questions... I'm here!!!

I think I caught your bug!!! I am so sick! I'm sorry I missed your call yesterday... I feel like I'm dying!
About the fluid...I have no idea. I guess my doc just does that. Let me tell you tho 4cc's is intense! At least for me it was! I couldn't get anything down. I think when I get my next fill I'm gonna go with 2cc's and see how that feels.
Hope all is going well with ya! I will give ya a call soon!

Thanks for sharing! That was fun to read and watch!! :ohmy: -
Hey! I haven't weighed myself since Tuesday when I went to the doctor. I had lost 15 lbs. but then while I was there had 4cc's removed. I still have very little appetite though. I have an appt on the 30th... I think I'll ask them to put back 2cc's... I think I need a little more restriction. I'm sorry to hear that you are sick!
Feel better soon!!!Are you on mushy's now? Hows that going?
