One year ago today took the first step to change my life. I got the lapband and started my journey to loose weight and change my life. The last year has been a challenge to say the least but today I stand here 115 pounds lighter and amazed with all I accomplished this year. I started my journey at 314lbs. Today I weigh 199lbs' date=' and still aiming for goal:)[/quote']

Congratulations! You look fabulous!!!

wow wow wow!!!

You look incredible!

BTW' date=' I noticed you don't have loose skin on your arms, did you do anything in specific? toning or anything?[/quote']

Thank you! Since the very beginning I have been going to the gym 5-6 days a week doing a combination of strength training and cardio. I do have loose skin but it really isn't that bad. As far as weights go I work with a personal trainer and learned a whole bunch of whole body exercises that I enjoy. I change it up all the time!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing & congrats! To see that scale under 2...anything is amazing! Please share any tips or encouragement for us that are just beginning our journey :)

Hi Nicole- this journey has probably been the hardest things I've ever done and stuck with. I'm 25 and there's always temptations! I do struggle daily still but I lean on my friends for support. The feeling of success is worth it! I started going to the gym very early in my journey and built a strong support system there. I truly believe that working out has helped me so much. You can do it! If you need anything or just need to talk , message me

I started going to the gym very early in my journey. I workout about5-6 days a week for about 1- 1 1/2 hours and it has truly made a difference in my weight loss. I have been doing a combination of strength training and cardio. It's crazy the things I couldn't do in the beginning but can do now!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
