Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows what a type O should be eating, acording to the ( Eat right 4 your blood type diet)? This is for my daughter. All i remember is that red meats were good and that wheat and dairy were bad for type Os. If nyone has the book or a list I would really appreciate it. Thank you..:help: .Janie

:help: Does anyone know of a doctor that will take a patient who allready has a lapband? I live between Dallas and Ft. Worth and my doctor does not take my new insurance and the names of the referrals he gave will not take a patient who is allready banded. I am desperate for a doctor. If anyone can help I will be so grateful. Thanks, Janie

Thanks for responding. My surgery was done by Dr. Dirk Rodriquez at Methodist Hospital in Dallas...Janie -
Hi Ryan. I was touched by your post. You have caused me to come out of hiding. Do you remember me? I have been lurking when I can . I have wondered where you have been and where Teresa and Darcy aer. I still see that Michele and Delara and Alex are all still around. And others I wonder about also. I have been banded for over a year and lost over 50lbs and got doen to 198lbs. But three weeks ago I started eating like pre band days. I am back on track now but am afraid to get on the scales to see the damage, I feel the damag of a 3 week pig out. Anyway I loved your post. Great to hear from you, Thanks Janie :mad:

Hi everyone! I am finished with most of the model homes and I survived. I have had a chance to get on and read some of the time. I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures and reading the posts of the Vegas Bash. I would definately come to next years Bash. I have lost 4 more pounds during September but gained 1 lb today. I got some new clothes and actually bought a few extra large shirts in normal sizes. I even got a size a size 16 pants. That was exciting. I have a question? Are we supposed to avoid exercises that crunch or strech the port ? I am thinking about joining a fittness center and I really wondered. Cause I usually baby my port but I was banded on the 6th of May. I am still a little busy so I dont know if I will get to post much, but I think of all you a lot.

Hi every body.Last week was my band anniversary. I started at 249 and now I ame 193. I have lost 56 lbs. I had hoped to loose 60 lbs by now. But I think I am doing good especially since I have never had a fill or had a PB. I plan on loosing about 30 more pounds but I already feel so much better and have more confidence, and its great to get some new clothes out of the regular people size. I am very grateful for my band...Best wishes...Janie

Thank You everyone for your comments! Pat, my next goal is to loose 20 more lbs and start exercising again. I feel a little guilty expressing my good news when there is such sad news on the board about Blossom. Thanks again everyone...Love Janie
-
I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. My prayers and thoughts go out to her family. I have a question? Is Blossom the same Carol that Penni posted her before and after pics on page 2? She refered to her as Katydid and she liked to wear the color purple? I need to put a face with her name. Again I am so so sorry...Love Janie

I was banded on 5-6-04 and have not had a fill yet. My starting weight was 249 my weigh now is 205, but I have been at 205 for almost 2 months give and take. I can eat anything and any quanity. I have learned how to make better choices with the band and try harder not to eat too, too, much. I know I need a fill but I am so scared of one. I was hoping to be one of those persons who never needed a fill even if it took 2 years to loose the weight. One of the things that scares me so is drinking water! I love to gulp water and I freak at the thought of not being able to do that. Also I take some non coated pills and quite a few. Also I have never PBed. I am so scared of that. I have a little bit of a gag reflex. Mostly I am afraid of not getting to gulp. Please let me know about your drinking abilities...Thank you...Janie
-
Darcy, that is what I needed to hear. THANK YOU! I am at 205 and fluctuate around that number for the past month or so. I tried some size 16 pants on yesterday and felt disgusted with myself cause they were still a little tight. But they were not my 22s or 24s that I was in not long ago.I am going to try to enjoy my weight loss even though is is going very slow. Thanks for that great reminder...Janie

Kim I havent had a fill yet and I had my surgery in May of last year. I have only lost 43 lbs. Your post makes me want a fill.I dont think I have any restriction. I can eat a whole half sized Applebys santa fe chicken salad no problem. I am trying to watch what I eat. I started the southbeach progham yesterday. Keep up the good work...Janie

Leatha I am so sorry. We have all had the crud. I still dont have much energy. One nice thing I have is a daughter who is a Doctor. I use her too much to call prescriptions in for us. I hope you feel much better really soon. Rest and take care of your self. I have found that soup with chicken stock really helps...Janie :straight
