30lbs down,thats good...I dont have a date yet i will begin orientation classes in Jan. (6wks) then i guess my surgery will be scheduled. I'm just super hyped...I want my confidence back, I want to shop and I have a few ppl I wanna floss on ....LOL. Oh and of course ultimately I want to be healthier. Thanks for replying...keep posting pics, it helps others to stay motivated etc.

Hey honey!

IM really good! 30lbs down! i just had my first fill last week! The only thing is I thing my band needs to be tighter because I feel no difference in last week!!! When is your surgery????

Hi kellee just wondering how are things...how do you feel...how are you holding up? Haven't had my surgery yet but im very anxious...cant wait.

Hey lady,

I have some but it could be worse. I'm working out with weights trying to tone up a bit. I guess "acceptance' is part of the process unless one wants another surgery and I surely don't. I'm a chicken.

Thanks..I'm gonna start looking into the protein shakes now...good advice, Keep me posted on your progress.

Thanks for the inquiry. ) Things are going okay. I have been losing weight.....down 25 pounds in three weeks. YAY! I am finding it hard to drink the protein powder. It tastes okay but the texture is nasty. I have to literally CHOKE it down. Make sure you are trying protein powders BEFORE surgery. And be prepared for pain. It is painful, both physical and emotional. My hardest part is watching my family eat the foods I used to love and not want to have some too. But I just keep telling myself, "This is better for me. I will be happier in the end." Gotta keep my eye on the prize, so to speak. LOL. I havent had any real problems. Besides finding a comfortable position to sleep in...I had to sleep in a chair with my feet on another chair for almost TWO weeks because the gas was causing pain in my chest if I wasnt sitting up or standing up. And the mushy food getting stuck. That is painful too!

I have some but its not that bad. I am just trying to do weight training to tone it up. Its helping...

Hello again...I have a question, Did you have a problem with loose skin? If so what did you do? Any advice?

Hello Jen,

I'm from San Bernardino...I'm getting ready to start my orientation classes in Jan.2010 (Kaiser Fontana) Can hardly wait. How are things going for you? Any advice you could give me?
