   Hey,

   Congrats!! It feels great doesn’t it? To see things like the BMI changing so drastically . I just got out of the morbidly obese…which feels awesome.

   Congrats on all of your success!!

   Hi

   I’m so excited I received my surgery date today, July 23, I can barely wait. I’m happy for you, well worth all your hard work. You have been such an inspiration. I was a little worried, but you have put all my fears to rest.

   Thanks for sharing

   Lise,

   So proud of you!

   Went in today and got another fill. I am now at 5cc total.

   I have not lost any weight for the past 3 -4 weeks. Was on the road for 2 weeks and my clients “wined and dined” me with ultra fine dinning….but all I gained was one pound…I would have gainned at least 10 or more before surgery. I am now focused and going to work out more. ( I did work out in the fitness rooms of the hotels I was in, but it is not the same as home!)

   Thanks for giving me hope that I CAN do this. I feel like a have a secret weapon that will help me.

   Just think, soon you will be in the 170’s….Wow!!!!

   Robbie

   lise,
   i got some fantastic wrap dresses from athleta.com, great quality and washes well, little pricey but can go for a bunch of different sizes, I got the medium for 8-10 but figure I can use them too once I hit a 6, just tie them a little tighter. I’m off for fill 3 tomorrow and then on vacation to Canada for a week, hope your enjoying the summer and the island!!

    Hi Lise,

    I just stumbled across your site and enjoyed reading back a bit. All the pics of hubby and dogs are great too! I just got banded on 6/24 in Mexico (the very awesome and hot Dr. Ortiz). I lost 12 pounds pre-op and another 8 in the last 2 1/2 weeks since the band. Pretty good, but feeling anxious about whether it will really work for me…

    It’s amazing to see how well you’ve done! From the one post where you listed a day’s meals it seems like you’re eating barely anything – looked like 500 calories or so – is that usual for you? Just curious. I don’t think I could deal with less than 1000…

    Also – I would LOVE it if you could send me your weight tracker.
