Thanks guys! I've been following this board for 6mths This is the first I've heard of the interval timer. You learn something new every day.

Do your research. Read books& follow this forum.

WTG!!! You look marvelous darling, just marvelous!!!

I don't think I'm going to be to concerned about what goal weight I want. I just want a healthy BMI. Good luck!

Congratulations, take care!

I know of people who have lost 100 lbs and have never had a fill. So everyone is different, plus I agree with "just b/c you can, doesn't mean you should".

With my insurance I had to do 6mth PCP diet. I was really bummed about it, but the 6mths went by really fast.Last appt yesterday. I'm now glad it did take that long because I feel I got a really good education on the band. I stalked this board for 6mths and read a few books. I'm now REALLY ready! If you follow this forum you can actual guess who has the info they need & who just jumped in. Good Luck to you!!

Not banded yet, but very inspirational to read responses. Can't wait to get this party started!!!

We're here for you Foxy!!!

WTG!!!!! Can you believe when you pick up your 2yo, that's how much came off your frame?! Must be wonderful..

Glad you're doing better! For future reference Immodium makes a chewable. I keep them in my medicine cabinet as a regular staple. You never know when a pool party is going to start.

Every hurricane season I'm like "please Lord keep us safe", but feel totally guilty about it going somewhere else. I was without electric 5 days with Charlie and it was brutal!!!

I have Aetna. Did 6mth Dr. supervised diet (today last day), Psych Eval, Eating right for life class and everything has been turned over to insurance for approval. Thoughts &prayers welcome!!!

I'm looking forward to being on this journey with you!

Ahhhhhhh! So sorry!!!!

Sorry you have to go through this Missy!!!

My daughter is going through IVF (skinny as a rail), but with everything she has to go through with this, I'd want her to go for the baby first. Like READY said, try and stick with a good diet, start using some of the tools like eating smaller bites, chewing more, drinking more water and you'll be all set when the time is right. Whatever you decide, I support you!!!

Can I ask you something marketingdude if it's not to personal???? You joined this forum Sept. 1, 2009, why haven't you been banded yet??? I'd be going crazy if I was watching everyone's success and I wasn't getting any.

Not banded yet. I just finished my 6mth required diet today, so hopefully mid-end Sept.

That's probably why you can get spaghetti sauce out of a white shirt with it.LOL Been there, done that!

You can chime in with me any day!!!! :wub: I heard that too Jean. These are the questions people need to ask before going into surgery.

Welcome Fatnfluffy! Sounds like you're going to have to change your name soon. Congratulations on beginning your journey. There's a lot of very helpful people here, so join in anytime. Remember there are no stupid questions here. Need an answer, just ask.

Did the taste shock you??? LOL, I think carbonated water is sooooo gross.

You're Rocking it Miriam!!! I agree, baby food, not so much! Most babies don't even like it.

Marketingdude, Do you know what kind of band Dr. Kuri uses? When discussing different bands with my Bariatric Surgeon, my choices being Realize or LapBand, he told me that the Lapband sees to have more restriction from the get go than Realize. I have talked with a number of people that have lost 100lbs. with Lapband and have never had a fill. I'd be afraid to have a Lapband and a fill and find out it was too tight right from the start. Just thoughts I'd chime in... Thoughts???
