I hear you! I can't wait to get back to that old number and them pass it on by!!!!! :cheerleader: Maytee

Wow! You look amazing!!!! You go girl!!!!! :girl_dance: :cheerleader: :lb13:

Monet, Thank you! In the morning I 42g of liquid protien that taste like jello, and a small bowl of Kashi cereal, lunch mostly salad or progresso soup, dinner what ever my mom made. I am Puerto Rican so I am trying to break her from cooking all the fried foods. I do miss her fried chicken its the best! Oh, well that is what got me here in the first place. I am using the small salad plates and I eat a lot of steamed broccolli I try to stay away from the carbs for dinner. What about your daily menu? Maytee

Thanks Everyone for your encouragement.! I got banded March 11th. Today we hiked up a very steep hill in my neighborhood. I thought I wasn't going to make it up, but I did and when I got to the top you could see most of the city I live in. We got back down and she killed me again with push-ups and lunges. I am so sore from Tuesday and I know tomorrow I will be a total body sore. My abs are one of the most sore and we really didn't work them that hard. I did tell her that I couldn't do a lot of ab work until the middle of June due to the port. When I got my first fill Dr. Romero told me I have a lot of scare tissue on and around my port and it looks good. I am almost to the 20lbs mark and I can't wait to post it on my signature. I live in Mesa AZ and my trainer said we could do a boot camp if anyone out there that lives here is interested. Let me know!!!!!! The more that can join me the better! Maytee

Today was a great day! I worked out with my a trainer today. It was so hard and I am already sore. I'm sure tomorrow sitting on the toilet will hurt! I finally feel I am on my way to getting this weight off. I will be working out with her Tuesdays and Thrusdays and I never thought I would be looking forward to getting killed! Knowing that I have the band helping me control the amount of food going in and the trainer to kick my but into shrinking, makes me feel so empowered. I love my band and I love seeing the weight come off!!!!!!!! :party2: Maytee

I read how much fun everyone had on the chat room. When are you doing it again? Maytee

Right On Girl!!!!! Great attitude! Keep it up! Maytee :lb13: :cheerleader:

Lisa, You are truly an inspiration! These pictures encourage me to lose that the weight. You go Girl!!!!! :lb24: Maytee

Wow Michelle!!! Thanks for the info, I will make sure I eat before I get on the plane. You look amazing!!! Maytee =D>

Today for lunch I went and got a baked chicken breast and baked red potatoes. It was my first time since this process started that I thought I was going to have a PBing moment. My bestfriend was taking to me and I wasn't paying attention to how I was chewing my food and then the pain hit. I stopped taking and she asked me if I was going to be ok. It left like an alien in my chest fighting to go down into my stomach. It really scared me. I had to breathe slowly and sit and think of relaxing my whole body so I wouldn't panic from the pain. Oh, never again!!! Ladies stay away from the dry chicken!!!!!!! I hope I didn't stretch my new stomach!!!! Maytee

I wish my bobbies would listen to me and go back to where they were! LOL!!!!!! Maytee :girl_haha:

I am hoping for the same, a little more restriction when drinking and eating!!!! I can't wait to see your progress with this new fill Michelle! Maytee :-h

Good job! We just need to listen to our bobies!!!! Maytee =D>

I am getting my 2nd fill June 2nd. Can't wait to meet all of you that are getting banded that day. Its still excting for me to see everyone that is about to change their lives for a healthier and skinnier one! =D> Maytee

Nicole Your right! I have been doing that just this week. And I feel so much better when I just listen to my body. Thanks! =D>

Maybe you should get a little taken out so you can eat more solids. Have you called your Doctor? Maytee

I can't wait to get my sweet spot!!!!!! Maytee

You go Girl!!!!! Maytee =D>

Teri, I know! It's very frustrating!!!! I can't believe they don't do fluro. The Doc here in Mesa said he would take me but they have never seen a patient that has had the band done outside the US. I would be their first. I have a consultation appt. with him next week. I have a lot of questions for him. If you want I will let you know what He said if your interested. We should get together sometime! Maytee

I weigh every day. It drives me crazy if I don't. You go Girl! Maytee

Barium is what the Dr. makes you drink when your getting your fill to see how fast fluid is going through your band. I am planning on getting a normal blood work up to see if my cholesterol has gone down. Is that what you meant? Maytee

Thanks everyone for helping me feel like I am not alone. Maytee >

It is so hard! Does any one have any thing they do to make it easier? Maytee
