I was wondering if there is any support groups in the Fort Walton area?
-
WOW! This is such a great challenge! I am in! I am a little behind so I will have to make up for it tomorrow.

The seats are bigger than 17-18 inches. Just think a Barbie doll is 12 inches long, so no one would be able to fit in a seat. Don't get an exit seat... Those seats are so hard, uncomfortable and i always freeze. the night before, i don't sleep that way I can on the plane. If your tummy feels tight, ask the attendant for hot tea. I fly every week, this is what helps me. You will be fine.

Sorry you had complications, but it is the best decision i ever made. You can talk bad about it all you want to, it is your opinion and your right. I have lost 125 lbs, and i don't have one complaint about it. That is my opinion.

It is weird how people are effected different ways. Airports are my 2nd home. I am on a plane every other week, sometimes twice with my job. My band feels like it is tight when I'm on the plane. Once I'm off the plane I'm ok. I just drink hot teA. I have talked to my Dr and he said it was ok. As long as the tea goes down and when i am able to eat nothing gets stick i am ok. Like i said weird how everyone is affected differently.

I was banded 2 years ago today. 125 pounds later, still the best decision i ever made!

Do you have an Avenue near you? They sale wide calf boots and they are very cute. I am able to wear tall boots now. I bought a pair of thigh high boots and almost cried when i was able to zip them all the way!

When i had the surgery i was in a tight 22/24. All my clothes had to be bought at Torrid, lane bryant and avenue. Now i wear a very baggy 12. So i am starting to try on 10s. I have went from 3x to a medium! A great feeling is walking into one of those stores and asking for a 12 and they look at me crazy ( well kinda with a dirty look and attitude) and say we don't sale that size here! Btw... I am 5'4.

My shoe size also went from 9 to 8. I have become a shoe aholic! I am able to wear cute and sexy heels now. Before i would have them on for 5 minutes and be ready to take them off. Now i can wear them with no problems. I started out wearing an inch heel and then working my way up. Now I'm in 4 inch heels and starting to wear the platforms.

Thank you very much. I had it done 10/28/10. I started seeing results within weeks. It was the best thing i have ever done.

These are pictures of when i weighed 284, I am now at 164... I went to lose 15 to 20 more totally.

I started doing the Couch to 5k, when i weighed 200. I stopped because my hip was bothering me. I started again at 170.

I like Under Armor compression shorts and pants. They are pricey but worth it. I have also learned that if you wear two pair of socks, (the kind that have extra support on the bottom) this will help you when starting out. It helps with the joints, or mine it does.
