aww thanks kamie! well ill let you guys in on the good news i lost the weight. i had went from 247 to 250 i wanted to die now its about a week later im at 242 soo i guess it was just a weird time.

Soo i guess an update on my weight is in order i was 296 at hieghest, at surgery i was 275 im now 6 weeks out and im at 247 and im STUCK! i got my first fill friday which was horrible bc i couldnt handle the 3ccs in my band.. almost threw up the water they had me drink then had to get poked again and the ccs taken out! ugh. well i have 1cc in my band, but thats not my problem.. i havent lost a thing! since going to the fill last week i have gained a pound! and im eating what i should.. the only difference is i added fruit and veggies to my diet.. not a lotta fruit maybe about half a cup and about the same or a lil more of veggies.. i dont understand if im doing it right why is this happening!!!! and the most frustrating thing is i hear ppl treating them selves with ice cream, subway, burgers and their loosing weight .... i only have chix fish or turkey, veggies and fruit THATS IT!!!! UGH! i hate plateaus... im not gonna give up i no i cant it would be soo stupid. im hoping if i just stick with it and keep working out it will come off again. (my goal was 15 more pounds by mid august for my bestfriends bday!)

soo its 4 30 in the morning i just got home from the bar and had to come on and wwrite how amazing my night was. i havent gone out since a month b4 surgery. and i just felt like a new person. just soo much more confidence . and i looked better and i met a BOY! i came home crying cause i was soo happy not cause i met a guy but bc i never felt that good at the bar b4. i still have only lost 45 pounds which i no is good but i still have like 90 to go.. and hes soooo cute!

omg hess soooo cute! i dont no if it will lead into anything but hes been texting me ever since. it def gave me a boost of confidence thank you guys !

i always wanted southern cooking. im in new york so the resturants give u lil portion ( some do give you big ones ) but the fancy ones want the presentation to be nice lol.. and the child menu is always chicken fingers and french fries. but i hear ya.. i honestly think if your on vacation you deserve a lil treat!

well from what ive notced the child menus seem to be all fried or like mac and cheese and im trying to stay away from that.. soo i much rather get something a lil healtier then just take it home.. or sometimes i share my meals with like my sister or mom.

hey, i am a month post op and went through the same thing you are. i lost like 7 pounds my first week then it started to level off and i completely hit plateau for like a week and a half then i went to jersey came back got on the scale and it dropped like 6 pounds in that 3 days. so dont panic your definetely gonna plateau a few times but i promise keep it up itll be worth it not im down about 20 after surgery.just keep waking and building up your work out. ur doing great!

Hey i was banded 5 21 09 and i only had one incision. but not only that it was in my belly botton so theres no visible scarring. my recovery was prolly the same as everyone else maybe even less bc there was only one scar. im thrilled!

hey, i was banded 5/21, by dr. kaul. They are amazing. everyone there is great and Dr. Kaul is the best. He is one of the nicest doctors and he is so smart when it comes to this stuff he knows whats hes talking about and he also did something amazing for me that i dont know if its even been done b4. He only made 1 insicion rather then like 3 or 4 which is normal. and it was in my belly botton. when i went for my 2 week appointment all the surgeons were in there looking at it like omg thats remarkable. they even took a bunch of pictures for bragging lol. just cause it was done and looks great. No one will even know i had surgery! and thats not all they have support groups their and great nutritionists. i would highle recommend going there. GOOD LUCK!

Sooo i guess since this is my first one i should tell you a little about me.. im 22 and i just graduated from college. and i must say i have great friends and family. i have been banded for 4 days now and its tough because IM HUNGRY lol. but its ok im getting through it. it was a long long process as im sure it was for everyone. soo ill start from the getgo.. ive been overweight since i can remember ..at first it was just 10 15 pounds. like at 9 or 10 i remember being weighed in front of all the kids they weighed about 80 and i weight about 95. At this point i was chunky but it just increased through the years. it got really bad in college. i had gained about 60 pounds in college. and was the worst when iwas with my ex who is about 5'10 and 350lbs.. he ate which of course allowed me to eat more.. soo i decided to get this surgery after trying and trying. i was sick of being 22 and having my joints hurt already and not being able to shop where all my friends shopped.. also i wanna have kids in the next like 5 years and i dont want them to pick up the bad habits i had and i knew this would help me form good habits. soo my highest weight was 296 and im 5'9 before surgery i had dropped down to 275 .. great feeling but i didnt see or feel a difference. soo far its 4 days post op and im 268. im happy its coming off but its really hard. i have bad cravings. no joke i dreamed i ate a cheeseburger ( i dont even like cheeseburgers that much lol ).. and i have bad hunger pains but i drink a lot and try to get them to go away through that. oh and i find tea helps! WONDERFUL!. i wanna get down to about 160 eventually i think for my height that would be ideal for me. and thats my long term goal. for now im praying for 20 pounds a month maybe not too realistic but i can pray and work my ass off to make it happen. soo i guess thats it.. i cant wait for these 2 weeks to end so i can start incorporating real food into my diet! but till then... byebye!:thumbup:
