    That's exciting to know we will be in the same area at the same time though, even though with a different doctor. Good luck to you!

    GOOD! Looking forward to a fun weekend with my college friends- 1lbs from 199 and can't wait!! How are you?

    I'm sorry your husband is not being as supportive as you would like- I think, for some men, they have to actually see something happening before they understand- you know how they say men are not fathers until they physically hold their baby in their arms? He may very well become interested and attentive as your surgery date gets closer and he sees it is absolutely real. In the mean time, I suggest attending a counseling group- there is usually one attached to any major area hospital if you don't think there is one specific to the place you are having surgery. Its nice to have the support of others as you prepare.

    I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss! I will be devastated when I lose my dog- I understand how heart breaking it is to lose a beloved family member. I'll be thinking of you! <3 Things are fine here, just had a bit of a scare with the hurricane but all is settled down now and our power has just come back on, so no complaints. Today is my 3 month sleeveaversary

    Hi.... Thanks so much for your kind words My starting weight was 260lbs when I began the pre-op diet. I had to lose 25lbs before my surgeon would do the procedure. I lost 30lbs and was 230lbs the day of surgery. Today I am 162lbs! I still have 27lbs to lose to reach my goal weight, but considering I am only 4 months out from surgery I have no doubt I will be there soon. I'm sure you will do great. Just make sure you exercise. It's so worth it

One year surgerversary

by ShannaBanana on 03-02-2014 at 08:30 PM
Match 1st was one year ago I had my surgery. This has definitely been a challenging journey. There has been good days and bad days. Days I jumped with joy and days I cried. The stalls were very frustrating. I'm in one now and has really made me mad. I set a goal to reach by one year and didn't make it.
I'm very happy with my progress. I've worked really hard to get were I'm at.
I still don't eat Bread, corn, tortillas etc...i stick strictly with protein. I still have a problem eating

6 Months Update.....

by ShannaBanana on 09-01-2013 at 09:13 PM
Well its been six months today. I can hardly believe it. Time is flying by.[I][It seems like just yesterday I was anticipating surgery. Even though its been, and still is, allot of determination, will power and trial and error, I'm hanging in there. I've never been the one to stick with a diet after a stall before surgery. But now, its totally different. I'm bound and determined to get this weight off, even when i get frustrated from stalls.
My weight lose is slowing down some but still

HERE IT IS......4 months update.

by ShannaBanana on 07-08-2013 at 07:14 AM
Sorry, it's a few days late. Been really busy lately. Well it's been four months now and I think I may have reached 3 of my goals.
1st goal is.....I've lost 105lbs. I'm stoked. 100lbs GONE. I can hardly believe it. Yes the stalls still makes me mad and frustrated. But excited to see the scale move when it finally does. I've lost (I think, if i remember correctly) 55 inches total.
2nd goal is...... TWO...TWO...TWODERVILLE!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!! I haven't been in the 200s for about 17 yrs
