Hi all!
Well, it will soon be 5 months since surgery day and I've lost 40 lbs! Yay! The only thing is, I've been stuck here for almost a month now! That is very frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this plateau and will it pass??? Otherwise, I am very happy with my results, I've dropped 3 pant sizes and I am actually wearing shorter skirts now! It's the little things...

FOR SALE: 1 bag of straws!
**grumbling** Did anyone else get frustrated with the straw diet? I'm going insane and I have to do this for another 2 weeks! I want to use my teeth for what they were intended and CHEW something! My family is evil, eating sandwiches in front of me, how dare they! (tantrum over)
Otherwise, I am doing very well, I think. I've lost 3 pounds so far, that's good right? Three pounds in only 6 days??? I've gotten rather creative in the kitchen as well, so if anyone wants something new to try, let me know, I've probably put it in my magic bullet and pulverized it!!
Have a great day!

Hi all!
Well, surgery was yesturday and it went very well. I was in and out of the within 3 hours! Amazing! I am very sore today, really sore where they made the port pocket. Anyone else really sore there? I've felt a little queezy everyonce in a while but not too bad. It's just amazing that I have not had any hunger pains! And food really doesn't look that great to me, ok, the occasional cheese burger add does make me weep but...... I wanted to thank ALL of you who have sent me such supportive messages, it really means a lot!

9 days before surgery!
Hello all! I am new to this site and would like to introduce myself!
My name is Tiffani and I am 36 years old and as of right now I weigh 228 pounds. I have been overweight most of my life, all of my adult life anyway. Like many people who are overweight, I have struggled with life every day! I have literally sat on the sidelines and watched my life go by.
Just about everyone in my life is thin, I've always been the "heavy one" in the group. My weight has kept me from doing a lot of the things that I love most. It's not just the physical aspect of it, it's also the not wanting people to see me doing things for fear of looking ridiculous. So, I became the "square girl", the "quiet one". I always had people telling me that I needed to smile and talk more.
For the longest time food has been my best friend, I was always smiling when it came to food, food didn't make fun of me. So, any time I had a problem, I turned to food. I was heading into a downward spiral until I heard about the LAP-BAND surgery so I made an appointment and now my surgery is schedule for April 2nd! I am just elated! Just to know that by this summer I will be smaller!
