....soooo i have not received the ALL clear from the doctor's office yet, but i called the insurance company and they told me i'm APPROVED: ) APPROVED: ) APPROVED: )....i am ECSTATiC!!...just waiting for their call so i can be scheduled for pre-OP so we can get this weight loss party crackin!!!!...HAHAHAHA!!...i just don't know what to do with myself!!..

Just realized that I'm down 2.6 pounds in the past 5 days. Yay! It's nice to see after 2 weeks no loss

My goal is to loose 50 lbs before my vacation on Apr 27. I have lost 40 lbs, so i am close, but i am preparing myself to miss my goal. I will celebrate where I am, and where I have been while acknowledging that I made some mistakes that kept me from making my goal. I LEARNED alot these past 7 1/2 weeks. AND like I PROMISED myself, I will enjoy the weight loss journey and not suffer through it. I can honestly say - I am so happy and proud.

I went to the Doctor yesterday...I am still at 174 pounds, down from 298 pounds! I am excited because I have finally peaked in terms of my loss. The doctor took pictures with me and even asked me to do a radio and tv promotion. Lol, me.

After 2 weeks of no weight loss, finally 3 pounds down...

Down 1.6 pounds. I'm surprised it's not more, but I'm happy with the loss! Whoo Hoo!

TO NON-PET OWNERS who visit our homes. Don't complain about our pets. (1) They live here, you don't. (2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'Fur'-niture. (3) Chances are, I love my pets more then I like you. (4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are family who are hairy, walk on all fours & don't talk back. Re-post if you love your pet

Had my first check up today. All good. They told me I am on track with my weight loss... Really??? I see people loosing so so much more...

I had my surgery in April 2010. I have only lost 25 pounds post op. I haven't gained any but I haven't lost any either. What sucks,I can't eat very much food at all with out vomitting it back up. My last fill was Oct 2010. I excercise, eat right.. no weight loss...

been crying lots today. my hair is falling out. i'm worried.

Down 27 total lbs!!! YAY!!! 15 lbs weight loss in 11 days!!! WOO!!!

It's been 2 years since my lapband surgery. I lost 40 lbs. and have now been maintaining, but no further weight loss. Trying to get motivated to lose 30 more lbs.!

I'm eight months out after my surgery and have been experiencing a look of upper back pain, a burning pain in my upper back for several weeks, its releaved when I stand up, has anyone else had this problem? Wonder if its from the weight loss now at 72 lbs, only 20 to go.

Had my first fill today! Dont feel any different, but I will be patient and give it time. No weight loss....Just getting discouraged.

So exhausted with just the smallest of activities... I hope this improves. Washed dishes and washed my hair now about to pass out!

Hi everyone! I am new to all of this.........have never blogged before and am a week out from surgery. I am battling with my head right now and craving chocolate.......am looking for any ideas on how to get over the cravings and keep on track. Am not sure what my weight loss has been so far. My scale is not working correctly, but I have lost some weight, I can tell that much from the scale and my clothes. Yay! I have so many fears surrounding this whole thing.......can I stay mo...

With the weight loss I am really getting into fashion again. Time to look good. Nice to be able to dress the way I want to....

We are currently in the process of re-vamping the site to make it more easily accessible but I would love for everyone to come check the site out and check out some of my posts! http://www.truthinchange.com Thanks guys, don't forget to register and "like"

It's been so long! Weight loss is going well....slow but steady. I get really frustrated sometimes, but taking a loooong walk downhill is better than taking a neverending walk uphill!
