Contest: Free Band-Friendly Eats!

Jean what a great idea, I would love any of the items (can I tell my DH I canned it. LOL!!!) I can relate to almost all of the responses.
 My dream come true is for my 15 year old son to be proud of me. Because right now is a very stressful time in our relationship and I hope one day he understands and can see that I only want what is best for him. I know that he has gotten a hard time from kids at school because of his "Fat Mom" and I would love for him to be as proud to walk beside me as I am to walk beside him.

I looooove apple butter yum yumyum! But they all sound yummy!! I'm not picky!!



My Biggest Dream come true would be to have a baby.



My husband and I have been trying for about 4 years now. In that time I have become surrogate Auntie to 6 neices and nephews (girlfriends kids), a real auntie to 2 nephews, I have a neice on the way, and as we speak 4 of my friends are pregnant (to date we know to expect 2 girls and a boy). Oh and my cat has had two litters of kittens.



Needless to say, I feel like it's my time, and I know my band is helping. I know my 94 pounds gone forever are just the first few steps to get me closer to that dream.



My dream is to be in the delivery room and hold a beautiful little baby in my arms and look into my husbands eyes and know, "we created this". My dream is to FEEL that emotion of knowing you have this little teeny tiny person to protect and teach and guide. You moms (and dads if reading) know that feeling I'm talking about. When your chest swells and you're so happy that you could break into song or burst into tears, and either oen would be okay, that's my dream.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR BIGGEST DREAM-COME-TRUE AS A RESULT OF LOSING WEIGHT WITH YOUR LAP-BAND?

This is a tough one.  I have so many things I want to be able to do.  But I guess my biggest dream-come-true would be to be able to "play" without getting tired.  I want to be able to romp with my nephew(he's now 2) as he grows and not get tired.  I want to be picked up and tossed into a swimming pool by the church teens who think it's funny to see a wet adult.  I want to someday be carried across the threshold as a newlywed (good Lord willing).  I want to "feel" normal.

My biggest dream-come-true as a result of losing weight with my lap-band would be not being the fattest person in the room. You see I have been fat/overweight all of my life. i have never experienced life on the " thin" side of the street.

This surgery will be the beginning of my new life. When my husband tells me I am sexy. I want to believe it, know it to my core.

There are so many things this surgery can give me, better health,fitting comfortable in theater seating, mobility ....

So if I am so lucky to win  a jar .. make it plum sauce.

If not like some else stated I will be glad to pay for shipping and handling, just send me a PM

Praying for 9-8-08, to get here quickly!!!

Okay, I am going to get mushy here! I am only 1-1/2 months out, but the my biggest dream so far is that I wake up and go to sleep every day and night loving my life!

I have never felt like this before. I used to wake up every day making promises to myself that I wasn't going to overeat today, I was going to exercise, and I was going to become healthier, but that would never happen! Then at night I would go to sleep angry at myself for what I had done (or not done) that day. I beat myself up constantly! It was so bad that by the time I had my lap band I truly felt like I would rather die than go on living one more day battling my weight.

Now, I look in the mirror and I love myself and my life.

Thanks!

You can't ask for much more than that!!!

I think my biggest dream come true would be to have my physical appearance match how I see myself inside.

There are many things that I have not done or experienced because of my weight. It is exciting to think that by losing this weight I would be able to be the person that I have always known that I am!

I love this idea..and I so want to learn how to jar fruits and veggies.

  My biggest dream is to just be normal again. To be able to walk into any store and try something on. I would love to be comfortable in my own skin again..without fidgeting with my shirt, without thinking "Do my fat rolls show in this outfit?". 

     My 6 year old always askes why I don't wear dresses and heels. Honestly, I just look like a big pumpkin right now. I can't wait for the day that I can wear a pretty dress and heels..I know she will be so happy and proud of her Mommy. I also cannot wait for the day that I'm thinner than my Husband. He's just the best. He's never made comments about my weight, never pressured me to lose it..he's always loved me unconditionally. I would love to get healthy and make him proud..not that he isn't already.
