    Hey you! It's good to hear from you.
    I'm down 38lbs as of yesterday. The energy comes and goes. If I get a good night's rest then I am pretty good for the entire day, but my work days are the worst.
    At this point I want to eat SO bad. Everything pretty much disagrees with me. I had to go back to an almost liquid diet. I wasn't expecting that. The dehydration and the lack of protein does much more than I ever imagined. I
    I have your number, I suppose I should text you. lol

    Yes, GW, I find I crave fruit, and I find that I am able to eat more than just a couple bites before I'm full…especially watermelon. I make sure that what I eat has 4g or more of protein in it. I don't even look at calories really….just protein and sugar. I have even downloaded an app on my phone so that I am able to track what I am eating. I just don't want to do anything to hurt my new stomach and cause me not to be successful. I have failed so many times before this and was looking forward to this working. I was an emotional eater and would eat when I was bored. I'm just really scared of messing this up!

    I hope they have a pool. Lol. Our flight arrives at 825am so it's bsure to be a long day. I planned it that way so that I would be exhausted by bedtime and wouldn't have time to second guess myself.
    I've been scheduled since March I believe.
  9. Nice to meet you Anne and husband! I arrive on 6/28 at 6:35pm in San Diego. What time are you getting in? I've lived in Huntington Beach, SF and now in Stockton where I grew up and all my family lives. Currently single, but previously married for 8 years to my now ex-husband. By the pool? Do they have one? haha.. I haven't really looked.. How long have you been scheduled for surgery?

  12. I just joined today... I was previously lap banded but it slipped after 4 years and Kaiser (my insurance) wouldn't fix it as I had the surgery in Mexico back in 2005. So, since it was removed in 2009 I've gained weight.. about 10 lbs a year. So, I'm at 209lbs and its time to take care of it.

    I'm bringing my sister otherwise I'd bunk up with you.. I'm gay, so no need to worry! :-)

    I'm still getting used to this site. Where are you from? How old are ya? I'll be 35 in one month and two days!! Mid life crisis time.. hehe.. j/k.

    By the way, I'm G.W. (Like George Washington). From Northern California.

Biography:
Help. I've struggled with weight all my life. I'm turning 35 in June and want to lose this other person that has been attached to me and start a healthy life for myself. I was lap-banded back in 2005 (296lbs) and in 2009 at the weight of 135lbs (161lbs weight loss) my lapland was removed due to it slipping. I'm sure it could have been corrected however, my medical insurance provider didn't like the idea of having surgery in Mexico and them having to fix it. I was just happy to have the insurance to cover it as I was unable to eat and only get clear liquids down for 14 days. I maintained my weight loss for several years up until 2013. I am currently back up to 209lbs and for many that number may seem low however I am a small guy at 5'5" and the weight carries significant burden on my spine, hips and just recently knees, ankles and feet. I've done this before and I know I can do it again! PS. Ladies, I'm gay so your hubby's not be worried!!!
