Great NSV! And, it keeps getting better! :)

Great job everyone!

Well said Jack! I think our minds sometimes have to catch up with the scales. Sometimes we can't see how much weight we have lost, but pictures will tell the story. It is amazing to look at the before and after pictures and see for yourself how much you actually have lost. Good luck!

Kelly I just can't imagine you smoking cigars! Congrats on quitting!

Yes, I had one the following day and it wasn't bad at all.

I think it depends on how the relationship is going. If this relationship is getting serious, then by all means you should let him know. If you are just starting to date and aren't sure, then I would wait a while. If the subject of the scars gets brought up again, then it would be a good opportunity to tell him.

I usually drink a cup of hot tea or water.

Welcome to LBT! Glad to have you aboard! Just jump right in and join the discussions.

Hi Y'all! Taking a break from the ball games, the Rose Bowl, and the Mavs are both playing! Mav's look terrible right now though, can't see them winning tonight! Beanie - Glad to see you here tonight. Make some time for yourself, quit working quite so hard! I know, you have to, but slow it down just a little bit and take a big breath! Don't they know they are messing up our LBT? Pat - Not working yet, although I have another interview at the same place on Friday. Now, I sure hope I don't walk in the Men's room again! Zan - I'm like you, I can't stand those big crowds! Sherry - Congrats on the date! It will be here before you know it! I know you must be getting excited. I remember how excited I was to get a date! Anne - That is so cute about your little boy. Congrats on the bedroom suite. I love to get new furniture! I do a little bit of everything, accounts payable, payroll, administrative assistant, office manager, medicare/insurance billing, purchasing, you name it, I have probably done it! I like the accounting part most of all though and that is what I am wanting to get back into. Leslie - My doctor told me hair loss was hormones, nothing to do with the Protein. It will straighten itself out though, it actually starts growing in as you are losing it. I lost a lot, but it grew back nicely. Cindy - I bet those kids will miss you when you retire! Well, I'm going to go watch some more of the game. Catch you all tomorrow!

Liquids in and liquids out! A lot of us get that in the liquid stage.

Good for you! The healing is the most important part, so take it easy and get healed up, the weight loss will come in it's own time.

Don't worry, it will start growing back in. I lost a lot too, but it all came back.

Glad you found someone you can work with. Good luck!

Welcome to LBT! You have done good with your band! Looking forward to seeing you post with us in the future. Good luck with your fill!

Welcome to bandland! It really does get better each day!

ROFLMAO! Too funny~

Welcome to bandland and LBT! I didn't get any restriction with my first fill, in fact it took a few before I felt anything. Don't get discouraged, you will get to a point that is perfect for you. Also, sometimes fills kick in a few weeks later.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing.

Good Morning! Welcome Doc! Glad to hear your not too nervous about the big day. It will be here and over before you know it! Mmmmmmm popcorn, I love it! Eileen - You wouldn't believe the Cookies I still have here! I have a fridge out in the garage that is full of the chocolate candies, I put some in the freezer, and my table in my kitchen nook is full of freezer bags of them. I don't even want to see cookies for a long time! I won't throw them away because DH eats them every day, he even takes them for lunch and if I threw them away, I would just have to buy him some. I had my fill of them, so I haven't touched any all week and they actually haven't been calling my name either. Beanie - We miss you! Cindy - Good luck with the cookies! I think I will pass this year! Pat - Play dough! ROFLMAO! Now, that sounds just like you! I have some errands to run today, so I want to get an early start. Although, I want to let the people get to work and off the roads before I go!:laugh :laugh :laugh The traffic is horrible here during rush hours. Catch you all later! Have a good one!

I felt pretty good after 3-4 days. Everyone is different though, and you can't make plans on how someone else did. The best advice is to follow your doctors orders. Each doctor has their own set of rules to follow. Once you are on solids, you need to really follow the Protein, veggie, carb rules. You can't expect your band to do the work for you, it is a tool to work with. Good luck, and don't forget to post and let us know how you are doing.

Congrats! Your day will be here before you know it!

I'm so sorry Rica, I am sure with the love you have between you, things will work out and get better. Hugs!

Welcome back Zoe! Glad to hear the worst is behind you and you are feeling better now!

COOKIES? DID YOU SAY COOKIES?
