I have met all the goals I have set for myself since getting the Lap Band. I have an upcoming goal for Christmas that I will be in onderland. Now I have six lbs to lose in 9 days! And~~~I have all these Christmas Parties to attend, temptations, and shopping trips ahead. Can I do It? I don't know, but I am going to push ahead and try really hard!

I don't want to get the blues about it, and have my Christmas ruined because I don't make the goal, and I am sure I will be close to it anyway! The Good News is I have lost 55 lbs forever in five months so I will have to bask in that glory for a glorious Christmas if I don't make it to my goal, maybe by New Years!!!!! I still want a sexy red dress for Christmas! My husband will get a Garmin and ME!!!! LOL Merry Christmas ALL!

Hi, I hope your weight goal comes true. I was banded in June on the 29. One month before you and I feel great most of the time. I go in to NP on this Monday Dec 21. I am sure I will not get another fill. I stopped getting fills after 3 of them. I have found I am way tight enough. Most days I can just eat enough to keep myself alive. I find most of the time I am eating protein and steamed veggies. I do not enjoy pasta or bread that much anymore. That is probably a good thing. I am going to a few Holiday parties and I pray I make the Best Choices I am able. It can get ugly if you know what I mean when I make the wrong ones.

I just had a funny experience. Had to toss all of my underwear away. My husband just said go buy some that fit you. I just never thought much about it and I was wearing panties that were 5 sizes to big for me. LOL This journey has been so amazing I must say. At my last weigh in I had lost 68 pounds. That was over a month ago. Where does the time go. I do not own a scale so I am so excited to see how much more I have lost.

I have been fighting off the blues for weeks now I think it has something to do with the fact I cannot eat like I used too and I sooooo miss a good chow down. I am just trying to keep the spirit of the Holiday's and stay as positive as I can. Thanks I enjoyed reading your blog. Have a great day. Best wishes imaluckydog

I know what you mean about the underwear! LOL isn't is crazy? I was on the treadmill and just felt my panties coming down as I walked, of course they stopped but what a yucky feeling! I have bought them twice since the Lapband!! I have been really tasting all sorts of forbidden foods. I really have not been able to overeat any of them, but I do miss food around the Holidays! And it seems all of those people around me who CAN HAVE those foods want to rub it in. Or say oh, you can't have this can you? And then of course I want to SHOW them that I can have anything I want just in moderation. I will actually be glad to see Christmas Over with this year, so I can move on with the weight loss and to my goals without so much temptations. Too many parties this time of year!!! It is a little depressing, cause I love to cook too! But we will keep our chins up! I definately want to buy some new clothes for next summer and want to get much smaller sizes. I am buying at consignment shops now to save money and getting by with some nice items too! I miss Chinese food! My only real cheat, but it can really bother me later, after I eat it! We will learn! Modifying our diets is not as easy as it seems on paper, you have to make misteaks to learn and to modify your personal eating plans. All things in moderation, I always say. Have a great day to you. Talk to you later.
