Here are the next NFL players...lol

I think chewing more and also maybe waiting a lil longer between bites will help...also maybe watch for the soft full signs..if I miss mine then I get that feeling that your having....

Awsome...celebrate your birthday and your hard work !!!

My thoughts are you are going to feel so good in a yr from now...It takes work...the band is just a tool that we have control of...but I works !!! There will be so many small and large non scale victories (NSV) along the way...rejoice in all of them !!! Good luck hun....Im excited for you !

For me I had to do the 6 month eating right and showing I was committed to this...also had to attend 6 local support group meetings.. When I was in my 5th month my nutritionist started the paper work for insurance and when it was summited only took 3 days to get approval.. Good Luck...with your journey !!!

Oh Terri you should go right to the ER !!! Maybe I watch to many showed on animal planet...but I know spider bites can be so scary....please don't wait... Michele....a foster youth group sounds like a very rewarding thing....You know I started fostering children when our two sons left for college together....not only do you loose your children you loose the house full of their friends that use to be there every meal...lol I look at your pic and still go WOW each time you post...you are looking so good. Dawn how are you feeling....did your cold make a fast exit...I hope so. Carol..its the weekend ...for me that's a lil more relaxed...wondering if that is just the opiste for you and Jack with all your working on your home... Janet...hope your feeling no pain !!! How long are you in the hospital stay for ...thining of you hun... As for me TGIF !!! I get a few days of not having to drag kids out of bed !!! Tonight were going to bundle up and go watch the school team football game..CJ loves the marching band ..tomarrow Jakie has a game and Isaiah is going to a b day party...sunday they both have games..I will try and post a pic I took of them last Sunday.... Happy Fri the 13th every one... terri get to the DR !!!!

Hello girls... Well I seen the cute surgen today and he is very concerned about me hurting through every meal....so he took all Fluid out of my band and schedualed a upper GI on Monday....if all looks good ( no slip ) he will put all or most of the fluid back in !!! I am looking forward to eating tomarrow with out any pain.... Carole you sure are saving a lot of money having Jack as handie as he is... Dawn...how cute of Brad to try and clean up when you surprised him.... Terri.Janet..Diane and Michele....hope your doing good ...

A VERY Happy Birthday to MADDY !!! Happy 13 !!!!

Hello Girls...So Happy our girl Janet is on the road to recovery....you are in my thoughts and prayers....hoping this goes as smooth as the first knee did.... I went to see my nutritionist today ...and I was down 6 lbs !! that is good for me...but she is sending me in today for a small unfill...she feels all the stress I was under played havoc with the band and needs a lil fine tuning...also she thinks I should take a zantac twice aday...so I'm seeing the cute Dr A at 3.... I love this new computer has spell check every place I type !!!

I have had the fitbit zip and the flex....I LOVE the ZIP !

Im wondering if maybe you are eating to fast....or to big bites...those were things that use to make me feel stuck....I think its more just like a hurting...to full

So happy for you !!!

what a great idea...next time head hunger hits me Im going to break out the nail polish....thanks !!!

Alex...I got banded because I knew I had to take control of my weight once and for all...as Im sure many of you know I have a handicapped son who needs to be lifted all the time and my bellie was getting wider then my arms were long...but what I have gained through all my weight loss is a confidence in myself that I never knew I could have...and with confidence comes wanting to shop and wear nice clothes...makes me not embarrassed to go to functions with my husband and all sports events with my children..I cheer louder today then I ever have at football games..I walk up and down bleachers with out wanting to cry inside that my butt is hitting people in the face or scared im going to fall... As for my arms...omg they have grown too...lol...I now lift my son with ease and have the energy to do all day to day activities....Thank you Alex for this forum ...it has helps me through many tough spots

I went through a rough time with head hunger...and still do many nights...what works for me is keeping most cals for night time..and always having my water bottle full and handy..

As for me...today is 5 yrs that our family was bless with making CJ a forever part of our lives..I thank God for CJ every day he has had such a positive spot in each of our lives...and people who meet him say they same.... The whoopee pies didn't stay in the house I made them for the boys football team.....the pee wees played last night and lost in the final mins...~sighs~ but as always Isaiah says we had fun !!! I had a surprise visitor yesterday ...another foster son that joined the marines and has grown against all odds....he has the will power of a very mature adult...he always has...he came to us a week befor Christmas with just one pr of jeans and 4 white T shirts...and even after spending al kinds of money for clothes for his chiritmas he continued to wear just them dang T shirts...years after he left here....he sat down with me one day and said...mom know why I didn't want the clothes....well long story short....growing up he had to buy...wash..take care of his own clothes... cuz he was the adult in the home...taking care of a drugged up mom...part of his nightly rutien was to wait till she passed out on the front porch and then he would drag her into the house so the neighbors wouldn't see her in the morning....Sooo he just wore the white Ts as his signature...and no one knew he didn't have clothes... Ok tomarrow I see my nut....she is going to be happy with my weight..130..but she isn't going to be real happy that I have had acid reflex for over 2 weeks....and I just cant seem to eat.some days..I have ate my share of sliders...What I don't understand...last night I ate one hard shell taco from Taco Bell and it seemed to go down fine...but for the rest of the night I couldn't even keep Water down...in the mornings even coffee and yogurt hurt going down....but by night time...im so hungry...I eat sliders..

Oh Michele..so sorry to hear you had to say good bye to your doggie....they are truly Man and womans best friends....wooo hooo on your 90 day challenge...that's awesome...congrats !!! Janet my thoughts and prayers are with you this morning...you are so strong....God will take care of you through this ... Terri..you are going to have to teach us all to quilt one of these days...maybe we can do a skyp thingie...are you relaxing...finally at home... Dawn could your scratchy throat be from all your screaming on the death trap ride you were on !!! Hope its nothing that last for long... Carole your home is going to be spectacular when your done...so glad your PE is going good also... Diane...your always in my thoughts also...hope lifes treating you good...

WOW that is awesome.....keep up the great work

Good Morning girls... I hope everyone's doing wonderful...It is soposta hit 90 today ...Im so happy for the Indian summer...kids have been wearing shorts and that saves on school clothes.... I have whoopie pies in the oven for the boys football game tonight...not sure if ya all know what they are....in PA its a staple food...two round cakes together with frosting between them...kids love um... We are off to see Kalebs doctor around 12 today...so I will pop back on when I can... Janet thinking about you as you get closer to your next knee surgery... Terri...Im waiting to see a pic of your scrap booking !!! Carole...funny having my foster children having babies now doesn't make me feel old...just makes me happy they stay close to us.. Dawn and Michele....so proud of the moms you are ...and how you both deal with your day to day lives... Diane...hope your hanging tough girl !!!

Oh Janet I laugh so hard at that Lays potato chip commercial where she is getting her nails done ....and the girl goes to answer the phone and the lady getting her nails done dips them into the chip bag !!!!........Kaleb had a good day with cyber school...even joked around with me during it....Cjs nurse says he giggled all day long....and Mister Grumpy Isaiah came home with smiles...this morning he remembered he had left his sneakers out by the pool all weekend and had to wear a lil tighter pair....on top of not being a morning person...didn't make for a happy boy.......ok im off to football practice and I work tonight so I wont be back on for the night...I sure love being able to be back here again....

Terri look at all you girls do too....mines just different stuff.....

Friday was Cjs dr apt that went so well... we lowered one seizer med to 8 mls down from 11 mls a yr ago.......Charlie worked all weekend so it was a mom and boys weekend...Saturday we went to a b day party at a park for one of my very first foster children...I had him for his 4th bday and here he was celebrating his 21 !!! He asked me to take his 2 month old son for the night...wich I did gladly and we all enjoyed him so much......Sunday Jakie and Isaiah had football games...Kalebs g/f had a family reunion he got to go to that and they brought him to the games.....we lost both but my boys did great...Jakie was quarter back and he gave 110%...Isaiah just has fun.....Cj laughs every time one of the moms cheered.....and my oldest son who I don't see much showed up for both games !!!! With my grandchildren ....so yes I had a great day......... Dawn thank you for reminding us to live for the day...so important....You looked like you enjoyed that ride......Terri and Janet Im glad you got your cards.....Carole I hope you get yours today !!!.......sorry every thing runs together I cant seem to find indents on the putter yet...but yes I am so loving this big text and big keys and a big screen !!!!...Now today I have lots of running around...back to CVS to fight for Cjs meds is first stop...them to state colleg to take my girl for a dr appt......love ya all !!!!
