  1. i'm not too intense. right now i'm just on one of the bikes i've only been on it for like a half hour so far lol. but everyday that i was home from the hospital me and my mom would go to a mall and just walk around. so i've heard from other people that i'm pretty active but i like to look at it as motivated lol. i was nervous about sleeping on my belly because that's how i normally sleep but i've just been falling asleep on my back which has been fine. sorry that you are in pain that would suck. are you keeping up with your pain meds? maybe that could help?

  2. hey i would love to stay in contact i think that is a really great idea. how have you been feeling? i've been feeling really great since i got my band, in fact i'm at the gym right now lol. let me know how you're doing, i would love to talk with ya. :D

  3. So I was only banded on Monday January 4th, but I haven't been hungry at all since the surgery. I've had some broth a couple times, some jello, but otherwise I've been living off of grape sugar free kool-aid. Is this normal? I'm just worried because with the grape kool-aid if I've only been living off of that, I'm only getting like less than 100 calories a day, is that healthy? Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
  4. girl you look so great! congrats on the band! i think it's such a great thing for us younger people to get our bands so we can move forward in our lives!

  5. that's really neat! my back doesn't hurt just my shoulders but it's not like bad pain, just a little discomfort! we all need to keep in touch to see where we all are at!! dredems, how did your surgery go?

    What I didn't expect post op.

    I'm 2 days post op as well & i weighed myself this morning, just being curious if i lost weight or not from being in the hospital, i also gained 2 lbs. I was somewhat discouraged but i'm just trying to stay optimistic we should chat since we got our bands on the same day! stay positive girl!
  7. i have to be on liquids for 2 weeks and then purued foods for 2 weeks & then on week 5 i can start small soft food! so i think next week i'll be on baby food just cause it's already ready lol. good for you girl! it WILL work for you! & i'm jealous that you're going to mexico..i had mine done here in minnesota where it is FREEEEZING!

  8. hey sonogirl! i did get banded yesterday morning and i just got home like ten minutes ago :) i slept alot yesterday afternoon after surgery but then i felt fine. like i needed some pain medication but not as much as i thought i would need. today i didn't take any pain medication. i woke up feeling great this morning, just a little sore in my mid section! :) i'm very glad i got banded & i'm just so looking forward to starting my journey once i'm all healed up :) best of luck to you!! are you nervous or anything?? don't be a stranger girL!

    Surgery day!!

    So the day is FINALLY here...SURGERY DAY! I only got like maybe 3 hours of sleep last night because I just had like a million thoughts racing through my head, it was so crazy! Some of my best friends from high school came over last night for a movie night as sort of my last thing before surgery. All of my friends and family have been so supportive! I am so lucky with the great support system that I have. I have faith in myself that this surgery will go great just because of the people that I know I can lean on. Well, we're kind of rushing out the door but I just wanted to post this first! If you read this and wouldn't mind just thinking of me or saying a little prayer I would be very grateful. My surgery is in about 2 hours so it's go time! Thanks for reading! missKAYLA

    6 days until my surgery, already?!

    Wow, so I really can't explain how excited I am for my surgery in 6 days! January 4th really cannot come soon enough :tt2: I have the little bit of nervousness but I'm way more excited to even let that bother me! I saw my surgeon today and I had only lost 1 lb since I last saw him. Even though that was not as much as I was supposed to lose I am proud of myself for not gaining through the holidays! Every little victory should be recognized So now I'm on a very strict diet for surgery, I need to try to lose 5-7 lbs this week which my surgeon thinks is possible. If he has faith in me, then there is no reason for me not to have faith in myself. Realistically there is only 4 days left of me being on my diet since my surgery is on Monday and I can't eat on Sunday, so 4 more days is completely do-able. Not that I would ever wish my life away but I'm excited to be a year out of surgery when I look at other peoples pictures! Seeing other people succeed just makes me that much more excited! For my new years resolution, I want to lose 100 lbs, or as close to 100 as I can get. I'm guessing I'll be 260 on New Years which means if I am able to lose 100, I'd be down to 160 next year which means only 25 lbs away from my goal! :w00t: How fabulous! I'm hopefully going to go mall walking with my mother tomorrow to get some exercise since my treadmill is acting up & there is too much snow on the ground to walk outside! I'm kind of nervous about not making my weight before surgery, so if any of you have suggestions that would be wondeful! I hope everyone's holidays were amazing! always, missKAYLA
