I have tried so many different diets, and the same thing happens, I lose a ton but gain it back the minute I quit the diet. I would think that would happen with the two things you are researching too. If you aren't sure if the band is for you, by all means wait! The band is major surgery, and nothing to be taken lightly. Please, read everything you can on what ever you decide to do! Good Luck!

Good luck, and please keep us posted!

Don't give up! It took me a lot of fills before I got restriction. I know we want to lose all our weight like yesterday, but slow is much better for you. Remember that you will have times you lose inches not pounds too!

Sherrie I eat steak often. Don't be afraid to try things, your band will let you know if you can't eat it. Just take small bites and chew good!

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great one!

Congrats! I'm glad you are feeling so great!

Awwww, he is so cute! I just want to take those chubby cheeks and pinch them! (Not hard) lol Congrats Pat! We expect to see more of him too!

Good luck to all of you!

Normal feeling, good luck and we'll see you in bandland!

Mine was $20,000.00 cash money.:eek

Good Afternoon! It's is so pretty outside, it hit 81 yesterday and I worked out in the yard after we went riding. I got a lot of my flower beds cleaned up! I bagged up a ton of clippings and weeds/leaves. One more thing I won't have to do this spring! After cleaning up yesterday, we saw a couple of our neighbors out in the yard, so we went to say hello. Well, the next thing I knew all the neighbors were out there, and the party started. More food/drinks! I am going to hide! Enough parties for a while! I don't dare go near a scale for a while! I have been working outside a little today too, it is back in the 80's so I can't hardly make myself stay inside. Cindy - Your watch sounds beautiful! We'll have to see a picture when you get it. Eileen - Have fun at the movies! Well, I am going back outside and enjoy some more of the day. I love this kind of weather!

Great pictures, everyone looks like they are having a great time!

Me too! I think I ate more sweets the last two days than I ate in a year! Fudge, fudge, and more fudge! I gave away tons of stuff, and I still have a ton left! DH is enjoying it all though! We had a great Christmas though, but I am certainly glad it is all over with. Just one more week to get through and things will be back to normal. I love the holidays, but with all the food and candy, I am always glad to see them go too! It is supposed to be 76 today, so DH said we'll go riding this afternoon. It will be nice to do something besides sit here and eat all day long. How many of you are going shopping for the bargains today? Everyone have a great day!

I think you look great! Awsome job of weight loss too!

I used Carnation Instant Breakfast (Powder kind) and mixed it with milk. It makes a good hot chocolate too!

I have found that each insurance company is different, so you need to check with yours to find out. My insurance will not cover it if anything happens.

I chew gum a lot, but NEVER, NEVER swallow it! If you have a habit of swallowing it, I wouldn't take the chance if I were you.

Merry Christmas John!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

Good Morning and Merry Christmas to Y'all! We had a great time at my Nephew's last night, and the prime rib he cooked just melted in your mouth. I think it was the best prime rib I ever ate. I am going to make some potato salad for tomorrow here at home, and some baked Beans, then throw the ham in the oven. We certainly have plenty of Desserts already! I have to fix up all the cookie/candy trays, and get stuff ready for delivery and taking to DB. Another night of stuffing our faces!:laugh :laugh :laugh Beanie - My fruit salad is almost like yours, only I use fresh whipping cream as my sauce. Other than that, it is pretty much the same. Ahhhhh, a new camera! We expect a lot of pictures from you now! Eileen - Have a great time! So, now do you have two trees up? Cindy - Did you get your bread made? Dianne - Sorry about the post, hope you get it on today! Pat - What's up Nana? Are you already for Christmas? Or, are you still shopping? Ira - Hope your holidays are special. I bet the son of yours will have a great time! Patty - Hope you are on the road! Good Luck! I bet those boys are so excited! Lisa - Hope you are doing great! Zan - Are you still out of town? Happy Holidays y'all!

Howdy y'all! I have been busy cleaning house. I have it pretty much all done now, so now I get to enjoy my weekend and celebrations like everyone else!:laugh :laugh We are going to my Nephew's house tonight for a family dinner, he is cooking prime rib. Then tomorrow night we hav Christmas Eve at my DB house. I ask my SIL what she wanted me to bring this year and she said "Could you bake some cookies?" I just laughed! Then she said "And some fruit salad?" Guess I am in pretty good shape for that huh? I chopped up my onions and celery to make some potato salad tomorrow, so most everything will only take me a little bit and I am done. First year I could do all that ahead of time. Eileen - I hope you enjoyed your good breakfast! Your new tree sounds lovely! Patty - Awwww, why does stuff like that happen at the worse time? I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get it fixed real fast! I love what you did to DH too! :laugh :laugh You clever girl you! Cindy - Glad you found the cranberries! I don't blame you, I would be the same way if I had a new laptop! Have fun with it! Beanie - Sorry about losing the long post! I use to have a friend that wrote it in word and then copied it over just because of that reason. Well, going to go finish some last minute things, so catch you all later!
