Looking for Buddies!

[hildegard 0]

Hi all!!

My name is Hollie and I just got banded on 8/17 and I'm looking for some upbeat, kick my butt buddies to help me with this journey. I know we all can't be positive all the time, but I will promise to try my best to motivate and help you feel better when you need it as well!!

I live in north central Missouri. I'm 27, married, with twin 8 year old boys and a mini Aussie Shepherd named Pixie. I'm currently going to school to get my RN license AND trying to continue my job with dialysis, as well as being a good wife and mother and making a huge life change with my band journey! So I have A LOT on my plate (figuratively) I have unlimited talk and text!

Let me know!

I have almost 5 years of being banded. Banded October 31, 2006.

I had to do a 12 month Pre surgical diet do to the Ins company.

My surgeon put me on a 1200 calorie a day diet, and 1 MUSCLE MILK LIGHT shake a day.

I lost over 120LBS. before I even got Banded.

So I have some experience being banded.

If you need a helping hand, or a push to get it in gear.

I guess I can do that too

Let me know if interested.

I quit smoking in Mayand gained it back. A small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

And would beextremely interested in your wise help Shirley!

I have found that a lot of my hunger is in my head. If I think about it for a second, I'm not hungry and it's more of a habit and tasting something good. Not eating.

Invest in MUSCLE MILK LIGHT Protein shakes. I still drink them, and the Protein kills your appetite. Plus it is very good for you.

I have a web site that I buy threw and shipping 1 or 101 is $5.99 Now that's a deal The 1 1/2

lb jug of powder is under $19.00, and it's good stuff. if your interested I will give the name of the Company, and some assorted flavors that are Great for Protein Shakes.

Let me know..
