wow my computer messed that post all up...sorry

I have told a few select people...as I drop more and more people I have found I am easyier to tell some lots of hard work and I had lap band...they see how good I am looking and see me out walking they are happy for me.... Yesterday I was at a doctors appt with my son and his doc asked me...wow have you lost alot of weight..( she also is very heavy) I smiles and told her yes I had....she was genuinly interested and asked how I had done it...my first responce was...lots of hard work...but then I said...with lots of help from the help of lap band...she told me she also was looking into it and was glad to see fantastic results.....you just never know who we might help with a tough desion......

Atta girl....walking is what I do most for exersize....and I love it.....Keep up the great work !

that looks yummy !!!

Yeaaaa congrats....Its still going to take work and exersize ....but you can do it....so happy for you !!!

Hello... Congrats ....I have not wished one day since I got banded that I had done this with out the band....This has been the best thing I have done for myself in yrs.... Sure there have been a few days I wished the weight would come off faster..but heck its coming off...and I have never felt as happy and fit as I do today... Good Luck and yes this forum keeps me motivated....

Hello.. Yes it takes time...I had to get to 8ccs to feel restriction....and befor that I helped the hungry feeling by eatting alot of salad ....Good Luck..you will get there.

congrats....yes that is a great lose.....Keep up the great work

I agree with everyones post here.... I to have lost many lbs many times....but something happens and WHAM...( for me) the emotional eatter awakes and befor I know it Im right back to where I started plus 10 to 20 lbs.....this time I know I have a TOOL to help me....

Oh so very happy for you.... I can still remember the day I got mine...I wanted to tell complet strangers..I think I smiled for 2 days....Congrats !!!

sending a hug...one for the worrying you must have gone through ...happy she is ok....and another hug because I to know how hard it is to get emotional eatting under control...I think maybe if you force yourself to write it down....just for you to see...and that might give you that moment to think befor you pop it in your mouth....You can do this....but we all know its hard work....were here for you...

good morning....holding this week at 162.0...... not worryed about it because the pants are looking good this week..... went from a size 26 a yr ago to a size 12 this week !!!!

Sorry your dealing with that....I sometimes get that when I eat foods that dont agree with me. Eggs....lettuce..apples....I start to eat then I get that OOOOo Goodness feeling and I get the phlem....I just stop eatting and wait for it to pass.....Good Luck

~hugs~ how very awsome...good luck to you and your son.....God does work in truely wonderful ways

Congrats...So happy for you getting banded ...the start of a new life !!!

When just starting to feel restiction I remember wondering when I over ate wow is this a stuck issue or not.....now that I have truely had a few stucks....all I can say is...when you have it you will know....and it will surely help you to remember to slow down !!!

Mine was really very nice..the Dr that did it was a old friend that had helped us adopting our children....so it was alot of catching up on the children and just making sure I knew of the risk of being put under.....Good Luck....Im sure you will do fine !!!

Awww congrats you look super !!!

Good morning everyone....checking in at 164.0 thats down a pound and for the stressfull week I had thats great.....

Congrats...and good luck on your healthy life style

I love reading everyones NSV....so sharing one more of mine...for the past 20 yrs when ever useing public restrooms I always wait to use the Handicapped stall.....reason being in a normal size stall my body touched the walls if I wasnt careful when moving.....well yesterday first time I used a reg stall ( the handicapped one was being used) and OMYGOODNESS i felt small in there...and crazy as it sounds...I just stood in there and moved and smiled....even laughing out loud a lil.......Lifes good !
