I feel like that is what has made this round so different... by not depriving me of things and not going SO HARD ALL THE TIME and still letting me enjoy life with little changes here and there has made all the difference... thank you!! :)

Thanks so much! <3

Thank you! :heart:

That sounds delicious!

you look amazing!!!!! :)

WOW!!! Congrats!!! What an inspiration!!!!!

I feel like I've been so blessed reading this today! Thank you for sharing your story!!!!!!!! You have done a fantastic job and you will continue doing a fantastic job - I can just tell! I am truly inspired and I hope you will accept a friend request as I'd love to continue watching your journey!

The fact that they thought it was an error on the Nurse's part is what makes this so freakin' awesome!!!

Thanks everyone, I'm really excited to see how it all goes!

Yesssssss! LOL I pretty much have all of these on my iPod and didn't think I'd be embarassed of it. Should I be? LOL I have everything and anything that I feel is my workout jams (and a good kick back)... Hanson, Spice Girls, Britney, Nsync, Love it!

Thanks so much, I'll have to check it out!!!

My name is Laura - I actually got married in April of 2010 and have been in two weddings since. I have tons of weddings I'm sure I'll be in over the next couple of years but I'm in another wedding in June! Actually June 24 as well! :) I'm definitely the "largest" BM of the bunch and I would love to be looking as good as…

I'd love to join in! Can you send me an invite please?

well you should be proud because you look AMAZINGGGGG!

well you should be proud because you look AMAZINGGGGG!

LOL gave me such a good laugh! Probably made your day! :laugh:

You just reminded me I really need to start measuring! I never did original measurements and I want to make sure I can see those changes when you aren't losing pounds - I know they happen!

I chat it up all day on Twitter with other weight-loss people and blogging friends! www.twitter.com/mesoolala

Absolutely feel free to add me! I also have a motivation page where there is a group of us that check in and motivate eachother -- called Journey to ONEderland! Come join in the page if you'd like (and that goes for EVERYONE!) ... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Journey-to-ONEderland/111954932249862

Great, see y'all there! :)

WOW! Huge response... y'all are awesome and are reminding me of snacks I do love that I've totally forgotten about. I forget how much I love a yellow bell pepper! :) Keep 'em coming... I've been writing down any new ones on my shopping list!

I say check out the individual portions of wine, maybe that would slow you down? I know there aren't hardly options with that though (I think like Barefoot and Berringer maybe?). My husband and I do the same thing but we stop at one bottle and we are splitting it so it isn't AS bad.

I've only been on this website for a little less then a week and I think it's amazing. So many websites I've belonged to (weight loss or otherwise) there seems to be a lot of cattiness, cliques, etc. and I don't find that as much here - we are all here with one common goal, why not be supportive of each other?! I love it…

Thanks everyone who responded to this! In the week I've been on MFP I've learned so much about so many different areas, including WLS. Thank you all!

I'm curious to know why they said not to have the baby. Pregnancy is VERY important to me and the doctors I met with said I should just wait until approx. 6 months after the surgery.

You mean people actually live a life without bread and pasta?! :P

That is amazing, I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for all of your information. I definitely agree with everything you're saying. There was definitely more risk with the lap band with not as high of a weight-loss achievement. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks ladies, will do! I'm really excited!
