WOW, your new pics. are BEAUTIFUL!!! you look amazin! i'm down 63 lbs. so far and i go for my 2nd fill next wk. i'm ready again too cause sure enough i'm gettin hungry again. it's scary when it happens! anyways, i'm gonna do better this time on my fill. my doc. kinda freaked me out and i was havin trouble keepin the sips of water down but who wouldn't after doin sit-ups with a needle hangin out your stomach and everyone lookin at ya like and repeatedly sayin what bout now, what bout now, what bout now? anyways, he'll not trick me again. i'm gonna get it filled to the rim! lmao!!! just don't want to be hungry! take care amanda and again you look BEAUTIFUL!!!

Girl 41 pounds already .. thats great.. good job.. I am glad you are doing well.. and I think 15 a month is pretty realistic.. but dont beat your seelf up if you stall... I am 5 months and I had full RNY and I have only lost 83 or so... but it will happen sweety... I cant wait to see you in your new pics..

i'm so sorry amanda. i've just been kicked back waitin for these last few days to go by. i have my first fill tomorrow finally. i've lost a total of 41 lbs. so far. that's pre-op and post-op and that's without a fill. i'm kinda at a slow-go for last two weeks and am so excited to be gettin first fill tomorrow. my goal is to lose 15 lbs. a month for sept., oct., nov., and dec. that will put me a little over 100 lbs. and what a great christmas gift that'll be. you look great amanda. i so look forward to lookin good enough and feelin good enough bout myself to post pretty pics. like you. it'll be awhile though. take care amanda and i'll be lookin for ya on line. ttys~tammy!!!

Hey Chica where have you been? How are you feeling is everything ok?

OHH MYYYY CHICK ... welcome to the losers bench. I just got back from florida ... and girl it was too fun . I am finally officially in a size 14 and I am super excited. Just think pretty soon you will be watching the pounds fall off. Its an amazing journey. Just try to focus on the water and protien for now... sweety it too me a long time to really eat solid food. Even puried. I still struggle at 17 weeks out. BUt I wouldnt change a thing.

hi amanda! just droppin in to let ya know i made it. i had my surgery on tuesday of this wk., the 15th/. i'm on my last day of full liquids and am so proud that tomorrow is pureed foods. it's really hard gettin amounts of protein on these last few days. anyways i just got finished makin out one daily menu for tomorrow and plan to make more later on. i guess i'll just eat the one for a few days, but that's alright. it's things that i like. so hope all is good wt. you amanda. reply soon! ttys~tammy!!!

Hang in there babygirl. You are doing great and you will make it through. these last few days wre exciting arent they? I will keep you in my prayers...

that is so great amanda bout size 14's! wow, i haven't seen 14's in 12 yrs. now. i started gainin all my weight back in 1996 when i quit work to travel wt. hubby's work and was a stay-at-home mom. always before that i had worked in factory's and was constantly on the run and always took fastin to stay at 150 lbs. as soon as i quit work all the pounds started packin on and they just wouldn't stop to it got so out of control that everything i tried, i just wasn't strong enough to lose it all and then came the constant yo-yo diet for all these years. up, down, up, down, up, down. the most i ever lost was 50 lbs. then 36lbs. then 19lbs. then i just give up and then my health was the only thing that started goin down after that. thus here i am today. i can't wait to feel good again. seein you and everyone else doin so good gives me so much hope. keep up the good work and keep me posted. oh and all your pics. are wonderful and you look so beautiful!!! ttys~tammy!!!

p.s i'm so hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
