This is the most logical sounding advice I've seen on LBT.

Argh! I just typed up a long post and when I hit “send” the site decided to freeze up and send my response to never never land! I hate it when that happens! :biggrin: Anyway, thanks for noticing the weight loss Shrinknme. I note every .5 lb down. I’d note even less if my scale measured it. The weather in Houston was phenomenal today. It was a very cool and crisp fall day with virtually no humidity to speak of. The sun was blazing all day without a cloud in the sky. The only down side was that I was stuck in the office. I’m debating whether I should get another fill. I’ve had 4 so far and my last fill was 3 weeks ago for a total of 4.5 cc in an 8 cc band. I can eat more at meals and experiencing hunger more frequently between meals. The reason I hesitate is that the first week after my last fill, I could only eat a couple of bites at a time but was still hungry. I stopped eating though because I had that tight feeling in my chest. I was very unhappy and tempted to turn to slider foods. I refrained for the most part. I thought once you get to your “sweet spot” the hunger pangs are supposed to go away. To date, that has not happened. My TOM is scheduled to visit this weekend so I think I’ll wait until after she leaves to see if I need another fill.

Tapshoes, it wasn't just you. Here's the e-mail I got from Alex today: Me too! We’re working on it.

Thanks, Donna

So... you're saying it's my fault? :biggrin:

Renewed, I'm so thrilled for you. Your journey is very motivating and helps me when I'm feeling frustrated at the slowness of my weight loss.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE Boston Legal. Bar none, the funniests show on TV.

I've never had a BF or DH that wasn't jealous. As I get older, I find jealousy a real pain in the arse.

What's DWTS?

Question - How many of you started posting to a thread started in the month of your banding (e.g. "July Butterflies Master Thread") and still continue to post to that thread and/or is the thread still active? It's only been 3 months and July Butterflies thread already seems to be dying despite my best efforts. *sigh* I've decided I'll post every day anyway and maybe just start using it as my personal blog page. :biggrin:

Fanny, I have only 1 thing to say... :biggrin: YOWZA!

It's LBT - I asked Alex and he referred me to this announcement. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18/announcements.html I am SOOOO jealous. I'm eating my heart out right now. You'll have to update your sig.

Took the words right out of my mouth!

I've ALWAYS been a card carrying member of this club (much to my dismay). :biggrin:

Ain't love grand?!? :biggrin:

:biggrin::w00t: I bet that made you feel like you were floating on cloud 9! :w00t::w00t::w00t: My "zoom" is scheduled for 11/7. First time for a zoom treatment so not sure how white it will get my teeth. I had a smoking habit for 20 years.

Fanny, so now you can officially refer to him as BF? Remember, post as much detail as you are comfortable posting. We married ladies have to live vicariously through you single flirts! :thumbup:

That is too bad. But just think, when it's all done, you will be smokin'!

pjpt = posting just to post

I figure after 2 babies and weight loss of 80+ lbs, I'm going to need PS so I'm not getting too worked up about where the weight is coming off. Once it's all done, I foresee at TT and Boob lift/implant in my future. Kinda like the 6 million dollar woman--rebuilt stronger and better....

I thought you had revision surgery already when you got your port replaced?

Remember there is a live chat at 9 Eastern/8 Central tonight in the Chat Room entitled July Butterflies. Come drop in if you can.

I posted this on the July Butterflies Master Thread and wanted to post here too in case some of you are coming here but not stopping by at our other general thread. "... I see some of the other threads of bandees and THEY are so WAY better than us at posting and keeping it together. How about we all make a commitment to post something at least once a day? Even if it's posting just to post, post something! Example: Good morning. I feel good today because... or I feel bad today because.. or I feel blah today because.... or I have absolutely nothing to say so I thought I'd just say HI! C'mon folks, let's get our thread going and keep in touch so that we can support each other through this journey."

OK, I'm getting pretty tired of this being a one-side conversation folks! I see some of the other threads of bandees and THEY are so WAY better than us at posting and keeping it together.

I feel good today because... or I feel bad today because.. or I feel blah today because.... or I have absolutely nothing to say so I thought I'd just say HI!

Hi Brandy. Just wondering how you are doing now post-op? Has the swelling gone completely down?

You look great Josh! BTW, I thought you were cute before too! :thumbup: I wish I had your metabolism.
