Welcome to LBT! Glad to have you here.

I am a closet banster too, and I did the same thing with my neighbor because she was considering the lapband. I just couldn't sit there and not tell her about it. The only reason I am a closet bandster is because I don't want everyone checking on what I am eating, how much I am losing etc all the time. Just remember that once you tell, you can't take it back.

Gosh Lisa, keep us updated on that lymph node!

Kathy - Glad you are feeling better. Don't be such a stranger from now on.

Good luck, and please let us know how things go!

I don't have any problem with it other than I want to eat it all the time.

The protein shakes are a god send. I used the CIB and it really does help.

Good Morning! I am going to check in before I get to my work this morning. Cindy - Both my teams lost! I used to watch football all the time, then it seemed like they traded so much that I couldn't keep up with all the names and who played for who anymore, and it kinda made it bad for me. I am more into the NBA now. But, I do like to watch the playoffs now. Cindy I am like you, since the holidays I just can't seem to get myself straight again. I am starting again today!:clap2: I find when I am at a standstill I lose inches too, that is if I am eating right! Dianne - that story touched my heart too! Pat - I'll bet you are getting in your exercise helping with that move! Sherry - Thanks! I needed to hear that right now. Good morning to all the rest of you, going to go check a few threads and then hit the work!

eggs are a big problem for a lot of bandsters. How are you doing today?

So, Penni have you made a decission yet?

Jodie - I know you are hurting, when you have been in a relationship for a long time, it is like going through a death. You need to take the time to mourn, then go on with your life. It isn't easy, it never is, but it's something we all have to do at one time or another. You'll be fine, in fact you'll probably meet someone that was even more special than he was. I truely believe that all things happen for a reason.

Awwwww Kathy you need a big Hug! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Hug}}}}}}}}}}}}} Exercise is definately something to look at. I can really tell a big difference when I don't get mine in for a while. I also might say try taking Flintstone complete Vitamins. I looked at the Viactiv multi, however they don't have all the minerals etc that the Flintstone's do. I do take the Viactiv Calcium ones though.

Welcome to LBT! I can only say there wasn't any chance at all that I would have done the RNY. I had a friend that actually died from having that done, and I just wouldn't even consider it. I love my band, it has given me back my life.

Congrats! Don't forget to let us know the date!

Welcome to LBT! Great job with your weight!

Jenna you look great! Loved the pictures! Cute hubby too!

Count me as a happy banster! I love my band!

Good for you Kari! Buy one for me while your at it! :confused: Besides, I spit on that chocolate so you have to throw it away now!:success1:

Thanks for posting this! You have done a great job with your weight loss too!

Congrats on your date! Good luck and keep us posted!

You'll make it! Just follow your doctors orders, it is very important to let yourself heal properly. Eat popcicles, drink broth, juice, coffee and tea.

Congrats to you!

Good luck, and keep us posted!

You look great! I love seeing the pictures, it really does show the difference!

Sorry! Hopefully things will work itself out.
