I'm sorry I'm late posting, but girl you are seriously working those glasses! What brand are they? I want a pair!! Gawd to be able to see bone....ANY bone on my body would be surreal. Keep it up chica! :)

[skymoon1982]

There Dolche & Cabana glasses. I cant believe I see my bones either. Its so krazy. I cant believe it myself. I overwhelm myself at times. LOL

[RaleighGirll]

I know, isnt it crazy? Girl, I have been so puffy puffed for so many years, I think I would faint if I ever saw a rib bone again! Tickle me now, and I giggle like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

[skymoon1982]

[wdsDarlin]

I'm thinking about having lap band sugery. I need to lose 76lbs. I want it because im type II Diabetic. When I listen to you it sounds like your having the same struggle as it you didn't have the surgery. Do you feel like you could lose the weight you have lost with out the surgery?

[skymoon1982]

Your the second person who asked me this question and while it is a difficult question to answer, it would probably be an I Dont Know answer. The most weight I lost on my own was 30 pounds. Could have tried harder to see if I could lose more but I got very lazy and gained it back double. The main reason I got the band to maintain my weight loss. Never to go back up once I lost it. I learned from my expierences that I can never maintain my weight loss.

hey girl! you are doing awesome! keep up the greaat work!

[msbebe83]

Hey girl!!! I am so happy you are doing so well. If you listen to everyone elses profiles, your success is the best. question... I am in the process of getting approved, but I was wondering do you think if you hadnt got the surgery and you were on a really strict diet, you could of gotten the same results. Im just wondering in case I dont get approved. Also, your son is so cute!!!!!!

[skymoon1982]

Thanks msbebe. I so appreciate your comment. Im very impressed with myself on how much im loosing for being a lapband patient. Im losing as fast as a gastric person would do. The question you asked if I think I could have done this on my own is very hard. I really dont know!! The most weight I lost on my own was 30 pounds and I gained it back double! I guess I could have tried harder on my own but I knew I wouldn't keep it off. Thats why I got the band

[Katiedittz]

Im glad you have a little restriction! you already got your 2nd fill! Im jealous haha I really want to get another fill, but I just don't have the money right now. You are catching up on me really fast! hehe I am so glad you like to exercise I wish I could be more like that you are very motivating to me! Keep up the work chica! Your doing amazing! and you look amazing!!!

[skymoon1982]

Girl, let me tell you. Im at 5.1 right now. I feel the restriction!!! I ate bread and rice ther other day and it nearly got stuck. I had to pause and take a minute before I ate again. Its krazy. Im not sure if this is going to be my last fill.

[zel475]

Wow chica! Congrats to you on that extra 5lbs down. You look awesome. Keep it up girl.

[Taina009]

am so glad for u. ur video cut off lol. but thats cool good jod on the wk outs 6days wow! keep it going nena

[IamBmeTammy]

Great job on the exercise, you can definitely hear how energized you are in your voice!

I'm glad to hear your fill experience went so well and that you're feeling restriction :-D That's fantastic.

I've been trying to put ground flax seeds in everything since Benefiber didn't really do much for me.

[firemama1269]

You go girl on the excersize. I will be glad when I can get there. CVS brand orange cream fiber chewables are better than the benfiber chewables. You go marathon woman... Looking good...

[nanananabhappy]

I'm glad to hear you got a fill that is making you feel restricted. Take care.

[LVSissy08]

good 4 you woman! congrats on the loss. you are truely looking happy and wonderful

[mia2292]

Enjoy the nice weather! Glad to hear that you enjoy exercise! I am glad you had a new physician's assistant, and it went well. Good for you! V8 juice has 3 gm of fiber, Yoplait Fiber 1 yogourt has 4 gm of fiber, for a change of pace to get your fiber in! You go girl! You are rockin' with the band! I have every expectation we will see a video in the future of you running a 5K! Congratulations for reaching 217!

[cycleChic08]
