I am also constipated so I take Colace now in my morning shake to help me. Thank you for the help. Enjoy your day tomorrow.

Wonderful! You will feel normal when the gas pain goes away. Just use heat and it helps with the pain.

I saw some people after a 65 lb. loss and not one word and it hurt me. Next time I see these cousins will be around March or April. What counts is my husband, sons and their wives (one not so much because I now wear her size) and my brother's family. Just smile!

Tomorrow my grandson will be 5. This morning his other grandmother baby sat. His name is Dylan. Dylan-yesterday at school we had cupcakes for my pretend birthday. Nana-did they sing happy birthday? Dylan-Nooo, cupcakes don't sing. Just had to share this. He is so cute.

Good luck tomorrow. The gas wants to leave the body so it goes to the shoulders. Heat helps, heating pad, things that can go in the microwave.

You will do great because you want to. Enjoy all the people and don't think of food My daughter-in-law just text me to make my famous mac & cheese for Xmas dinner. I will try not to eat any. We are Jewish but her father is not and her parents are coming from Milwaukee, new grandson and their first. It will be nice. Have a great weekend.

Thank you for your pictures. That was very sweet of you to do. You look amazing. I'm sure you feel that way, too. Your before Lap Band and after pictures are super. You don't look like the same person. Have a great day.

Congratulations on your Xmas gift from the insurance company. Great way to start the New Year.

you are doing super! I told my son about your surgeries and he asked if I had the apron and 80 year old boobs. I said yes, they are starting but I am not near goal yet so they will get bigger/longer. You must must have lost a few pounds from the excess skin, too. Very proud of you and thank you for sharing your story.

Well I finally joined the gym yesterday. The doctor told me to join in September, better late than never. So I went today and rode the recumbent bike for 1.3 miles. That is a lot for me. I felt great that I moved the body. I tried the elliptical but it hurt the left knee too much. I will try to go again tomorrow. My fat went on slow over the years and now the gym will be slow too. Some days I look in the mirror and see fat me and other days I say, WOW, I look thinner today. After reading other's blogs I think my size goal is around a size 12. My husband thinks I could go smaller. Never been smaller than 12-14 when we got married 42 years ago. I was thinner then because of diet pills. Nasty way to lose weight. Have a great day all.

Good for you booking the trip. Many many years ago I use to go to a resort on Cape Cod,MA. They had a gay obese comic who was the best. He once made a comment about decorating his body. Since that time I have dressed good. Even very large, didn't care. I only bought Ralph Lauren jeans, yes very expensive but I loved how they looked and I felt good in them. I own fur coats, yes I look like a huge bear in my full length beaver, but I didn't care. Now I care more about how I dress. That comic made me dress better and fell good about my self even though I was a size 18/20/22 whatever that year. Enjoy Disney and practice walking a lot. I went many years ago when my boys were younger and took long walks. Happy Holidays.

My daughter-in-law sent me a copy of Santa talking to my grandson. The site is PNP home page. It is really cute. Santa talked to him and his picture was used a few times. Great for all the young at heart for Christmas.

good luck with the new you. You will do great and look super!!!!!!!!!!

no I did not. I knew there was something wrong.

A few weeks ago I had a coupon from BJ's for jeans so i bought a size 16. They went on but did not zip. Well today they are on the body! I can not believe it. I am happy today. In a short time the hub and I are joining the gym, About time!!!!!!!!!! Now to put on the Ugg boots to go out in the nasty weather we are having all week. Enjoy your day everyone.

Great to hear nothing serious. I always say call the doctor when you are in doubt. My husband says I eat too fast all the time. For me, it's slow.

Good luck with the surgery. In about 1-2 months, you'll say that was so easy. I did miss chewing. After the surgery and so many weeks of liquids, I got bored with choosing foods to eat. I still have a protein shake for breakfast everyday because I don't like eggs.

Happy Sunday Since I bought a Fitbit the other day, I have been recording everything I eat onto the computer. I am now so much more aware of everything I put in my mouth. It was one of the best investments I have made since my surgery. Some people need a crutch and I have found mine, the Fitbit. For all of you celebrating Santa, it will make a great gift. Just came home from food shopping. Awful weather in Boston, rain maybe snow later during the Pat's game tonight. Then we are rain/snow the rest of the week. UGH! Enjoy your evening everyone.

I am finally coming into the technology world. I just upgraded my phone to an iphone. While at the AT&T store I saw they sell Fitbits. I have wanted one for a while but they are $100. They had them for $75. and I have balls and asked for it for less and they sold it to me for $50. Another new item I need to learn besides my computer. The salesman said the iphone has an app for the Fitbit. I am on my second laptop in about 8 years and still don't know how to work one. I don't work so I have no excuse for learning technology. Have a great evening all.

Good for you seeing the doctor. They are there for us the whole way. I hope you don't need to have surgery to repair the band. One thing I have learned from this site and from other banders, call the doctor. Good luck eating.

Nice visit, no unfill. Good luck with your new body next week.

A 10 lb. weight loss a month is super amazing. The experts say 1-2 lbs. a week, so you are doing great. Do you exercise and walk a lot? I don't. I haven't been to Disney in over 20 years and I know from going there I did a lot of walking for months before to get prepared. Lots of walking there, wear really comfortable foot wear.

That is super! Keep it up, I mean down with the numbers.
