Hey Melissa, so tell me a little about yourself, and if your considering it, it's probably the greatest thing you can do for yourself if you are having a hard time loosing weight, and this website you can meet so many people that are here to help!!! If you have questions or anything I will help the best I can!!!

Hi Laurie, that is fantastic, when was your surgury date? I last weighed in like 2 weeks ago, and I was down 30 lbs, and I haven't weighed in since, I do know i have lost 10 inches on my waist, and I am going down in size on my cloths, so that is one way to tell, but I am not big for getting on the scale all the time, I don't want to drive myself crazy checking how much weight I am loosing all the time!!! So how are you feeling? What stage are you on? Are you eatting mushy stuff yet, or just sticking to the liquids still??? Well I can tell you on Saturday I am on my 3rd month and I am still doing mushy stuff so it is a slow process!!! Just keep your head up and keep going!!!

hey Laurie, just wanted to stop in and see if you got your surgury done, and see how your doing. I know the last time we talked you were having cold feet. I hope all is ok!!! I hope to hear from you sometime soon. Good Luck!!!

Congrats on your journey, and keep up the good work you look great!!!

Hello there, Congrats on your journey, I just started on my journey, and I am very excited. I have been banded a month and a week now, and I have lost 26 lbs, I am very happy about my weight loss, and I can't wait for more!!! Well keep up the good work!!!

Not to worry I feel the same way!!! Just remember use the people that are on this website as help, and resources!!!. Keep it up!!!

Make friends on here and talk to people, it helps. Is there support groups where you live? I am not a big fan of support groups myself, but I have been doing the diet and talking to people on here and writing out my thoughts, and it helps!!! I am here if you ever want to talk!!! I have aol im and my screen name is tina77f, if I am not online it goes to my phone!!! I will try to help as much as I can!!!

Hey Laurie, I just read your post to my blog, and I totally understand how your feeling right now, I felt that same way before I had my surgury, but then I thought to myself, and I realized that all this is what got me into trouble in the first place, and I am so glad that I stuck with it and had my surgury. I am doing so well, and as long as you stick with what your supposed to do you will do just as well. Trust me I am not going to tell you that it's easy, and that the weight is just going to melt off, cause it's not, I have days where I want to eat every piece of junk food in sight, but I feel my stomach and know that I had this done for a reason, and I am going to push through all this, and I am going to succeed!!!

Hello my name is Tina, and I was looking at your pictures and OMG, you have done fabuleous!!! I just got banded a month ago tomorrow. I am pretty excited and I hope to have results as good as yours. I wish you the best of luck in your future!!!

Hi Tegan, I am ok, I did tomorrow will be 1 month I have had my band!!! WOOO HOOOO lol, I am doing good, in 6 weeks from the time I started the 2 week pre-op diet till today I have lost 25.6 lbs. I am doing well, just know I am going to need a fill at my next appt. which is the 25th of this month. So how are you doing? Hows your diet? Well I hope all is well with you also. Keep in touch!!!

Hey Julz,

Congrats on deciding to get healthy and getting banded, I have been banded for 3 weeks now, and I have lost 20 lbs already! I wish you good luck on your journey!!!

hello Morovis, how are you doing? I see your surgury is for this 23rd? Well good luck, I hope you all the best, I just got my band this past wednesday, and I am getting used to it but its going to take a little while, so anyway if you have any questions for me I would be glad to help!!!

Hi Jess, I saw you on Youtube, and so thats how I found out about this site, so thanks alot. You look like your doing very good on your band, I am very excited, I am going in tomorrow morning to have mine done. Well good luck!!!

Hi Bella, you look awesome!!! Congrats on your results!!!

Hi Ali, wow you look fabuleous!!! You really did take full advantage of the lapband, that is wonderful, I am getting banded this coming wednesday and I am so in hopes to get some results like you have. Is there any advice you can give me? Congradulations!!!

Hi again!! So thanks for the little hints I definatly plan to get up and walk as much as I can after my surgury. I have heard about those gas pains and I am not looking forward to that. Don't want to go through that!!! So I did cheat a little this weekend, and I just had a granola bar, a little snack one that I have for my kids, and so I know it's not going to kill me!!! lol, So your surgen told you to have your last supper did he, well thats good to know, cause this coming saturday is going to be it for me I have been on this diet now for a week now, and my best friend and I are going out this saturday for girls night out and we are going to dinner and a movie, so I am definatly going to eat my last dinner and then I still have 4 days till my surgury date so I will have time to digest that. I will probably try to stay good, and have a saled or something, "maybe" lol??? Well thanks for the advice, and I am sure we will talk more soon.

Hello Debi, well no your not asking too many questions, lol, that is fine, I am in Massachusetts, and I am doing my pre-op diet which I am ok, but at the same time still finding myself hungary. I am not a fan of these shakes, I don't know if you have the same ones as I do, but I got these Bariatric shakes and one you have to add fiber too, and ugh thats so nasty, and I got a banana flavored one and the way your supposed to make it you have to use less powder cause of how strong it is. It is not good. So I cut it with the vanilla powder or chocolate powder that I have. So anyway, when is your surgury? One of my other friends told me one tid bit that I want to share with you and that is make sure after your surgury try to sit up and get up and walk as much as possible to relieve the gas bubbles you get from surgury. Well I will talk to you soon!!!

Hey Sue, my name is Tina, and I also am coming up on having the band done. My surgury date is February 10th. I am so excited. Well just wanted to come in and see if you wanna be friends. Well good luck with everything!!!

Hello Tegan, I was just checking out your photos you look fantastic, congratulations on your success so far, I am looking forward to getting my band, I go in for my surgury Feb. 10th, and I am so excited. So can you give me a few pointers as to what I should do, I have started doing a pre-op diet for 2 weeks, and it's hard right now but I have only been doing this for 3 days. I still get hunger pains in my stomach at night mostly when I am finally sitting down to relax!!! I really just want advice from people who have had it done already. Well congrats and good luck!!!

Hey Lauren, I am excited too, I just can't wait till it's Surgery day now! I am doing some Bariatric meal drinks, I have a chocolate and Banana flavored, I am supposed to have 3 - 4 shakes a day and I can have crystal light, broth soup, sugar free jello, I didn't think of sugar free popsicles, I should pick some of those up today for a night time snack, but the g2 gatorade and vitamin water 10 is good too. I am trying to add as much as I can to get a mix of things, but the shakes I have to add protien powder to one of them a day and fiber powder (which is nasty) to another one every day, but it's ok, I know it's not forever. So how are you doing on your diet? Well if you ever want to talk or want suggestions or anything I am here, I think things are easier when you have support from people going throught the same things I am. Well hope to talk to you soon.

hi maranda, my name is Tina, I am just trying to get some friends on here so I can meet others that are going through what I am going through. So when is your Surgury? Mine is 2-10, 2 weeks away, It's been a long road, and it's almost here, I am excited. Well Good luck, and hope we can be friends. Thanks

Hi Lauren, just wanted to come in and try to get some friends in here so we can support each other, I am actually having my surgury the day before you are. So I am sure your getting excited, I know I am!!! Well Good Luck!!!
