So how is everyone's conduct today? Same as yesterday I hope.

It's 9in my part of the world and it's opening night "Ladies Night"

Now you'll be regular!

I'm here, just for a moment. I'm helping a friend at a craft show tonight. Hubbs is in charge at home tonight.

I'm going to like it here. Feels like home...Nice and comfy! If I get some more of this weight off, I might be like Dee and take pics of my butt too! ROFL! AJ I love that you can say penis until you "choke on it" but your other words get edited! :wub:

You ladies crack me up! Can I hang out with the cool peeps here? I tend to get lost too.

Awesome! Feels wonderful doesn't it!?

I, too, have been told to eat normally after a fill (I have only had two fills--I think I need another one). So far, I haven't had problems that I couldn't handle. I can eat scrambled and hard boiled eggs as well as ribeye! LOL Good Luck on your journey, I think the commitment you make to this process is directly related to how much weight you will lose.

WONDERFUL NSV! I can't wait for that to happen! Congrats

Congrats! Wonderful!

I'm having the same type of month. UGH! Don't give up

I am just like Missy...I can only feel food pass through when I take too big a bite, or eat too fast.

I do the same thing Missy. I wasn't told not to, but I don't just so I don't have any complications. I do usually eat Breakfast because my appointment is normally in the afternoon.

Patty, You are doing an amazing job! You are blowing the doors wide open. Keep up the good work!

Checking in after another "fair" weekend. Down to 281.4

I use a straw and I chew gum...I guess I'm a rebel! My Dr. said 2 weeks no straw, but never said anything about gum. Of course, I don't swallow it.

Checking in 282.2 (UGH only .6lbs this week--but it's still a loss--after a weekend of "fair food") Hubby is a teacher and we had to work the class booth all weekend. It's difficult to find "good" choices. I got a burger and ate the patty only one night. But there were other choices I made that were not good. Starting off on a tight leash this week. Let's keep the scales going DOWN!

Congratulations on your new life! It gets better. I too, have the Realize band. I was banded 6/19 and now have 5CCs in my band. I have lost 47 lbs since this process began. This place is WONDERFUL. YOu will get real, truthful, frank help and advice from all the nice people here. Sometimes we need a swift kick in the pants and you can get this here too. Best of luck in your new life!

I'll try that

I weigh once a week (Banded 6/19). Funny thing is I weigh less on the Drs scale than on mine at home. I have to travel for the Doc so I can't weigh and then go so I know what the total difference is. Good Luck on your journey!

UGH! That's awful CG.

Mine does not require liquids after a fill. I do soft foods for my own "safety". I'm glad you were able to feel better with protein shakes.

Congratulations girl! What an accomplisthment! I would be shouting from the rooftops. I have lost 47 lbs so far and my clothes are a little baggy, but I don't think I'm down any significant sizes. I can still fit into my 26W and 24W clothes. I know I'm doing what I should and weight is coming off, but I love hearing these stories of you ladies having fun shopping. I WILL get there. Keep up the good work to all of you on your journey! We got this!

I am late to the party but a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS To you!. You are an awesome inspiration to many of us. You are frank and truthful in your discussions and I for one appreciate your honesty. I am glad to have you as a friend and a lap band guru. Congratulations again on your accomplishment! You look fabulous.
