    6 Month Anniversary

    I had a nine month wait to have surgery because of all the steps that had to be taken and just the whole process took that long. I eat what sounds good to me and when I have that feeling of fullness I stop. I make sure I stay very active doing something. Like I said I just took up bike riding, I walk when the weather is nice. I watch my calorie intake try to stay at a 1000 or just under, per day. I will tell you and every one it is not easy, but just keep telling your self I can and will do this.

    6 Month Anniversary

    about 30-40 more lbs
  6. Surgery date Sept.12th,2011......Its great I am at my sixth month anniversary and I am down almost 100lbs (pre and post) surgery. I feel wonderful, more active (just brought myself a bike) This is the best thing I have ever done for myself.
  7. Senna plus (senna-s) is also an over the counter pill, that really works also. 1 or 2 tabs daily or every few days and it works. It is not harsh on the system, gentle and easy to take.

    Sleep Apnea

    I will not sleep without mine also. I have been sleeping so much better since I started using it. It has been about 3 years now. So easy to travel with, I just put it in the travel case and in the suitcase and off I go. In the hotels I usually have to unplug a lamp but its worth it.

    Lap Band Surgery Tomorrow!!!

    I think if I had said yes that I was planning on having more kids,my insurance would have said no to the surgery

    Lap Band Surgery Tomorrow!!!

    not to be a downer.....and I am happy for every one that makes the choice to have lapband surgery.......but I know when I went though the process to get approved my insurance would not approve me at first because I was in child bearing years (I am 45, with two adult kids 18 and 24) I had to prove to them I was NOT having any more kids........so how is it you girls at 20 21 are getting though the process so easy? Any one else have that issue?

    unsweetened ice tea......with something like truvia or equal and a lemon, there is the caffeine you are looking for

    Losing the weight

    me to very slowly.........but the way I look at it, its coming off and the numbers on the scale are getting smaller
  13. Try the flat bread it is good and not as thick as regular bread is and it taste so much better. I eat a 6 inch turkey with tomatoes,lettuce,pickles, green peppers,cheese usually toasted and it is so yummy and I am so full by the time I am done. But I walk to my subway store to get the sandwich and walk home.
