MsBallard Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Thank you all - each and everyone! Looking at pictures, you all look terrific. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pics. I am packing today, flight out of Wichita Ks on Wednesday morning. My sister (banded 5/2009)and I treated ourselves to a spa day yesterday (Saturday)...she wanted Marble slab ice cream afterwards..funny things happen to banded peeps after a two many bites! She has shared many of her experiences, I've also endured many of her experiences... Anyway, I am thrilled to be finally be so close to my new journey in life. Will keep everyone posted! Thank you for the words of encouragement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnyagain Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Good luck tomorrow! You are embarking on a new you, a new way of life, a new way of thinking. You will begin to see food in a different way...If you haven't bought Dr. Ortiz's book, I suggest getting it soon. I look at mine over and over. It keeps the rules right there at hand. There is a section for trouble shooting. If I have a question and can't remember the answer, I can review the book..its real handy...Don't forget your anti-gas strips, and walk walk walk so you can move the gas out of your system. You can get pretty severe shoulder pain from the gas settling in your shoulder...Walking will assist with getting that gas out... We are all here for you ...Consult us if you have any quesions. Good luck and welcome. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
