Welcome to LBT and congrats on your appointment. Please let us know when you get your date! In the meantime keep posting!

Welcome to USA! You can find chicken, fish, beef, or pork anywhere along with salads. Yes, we do have junk food at every corner, but we all don't eat it just because it's there. Try so grilled chicken or fish, then some fresh veggies that are grilled, or even some good Soup until you get home. Tell us what kind of food you eat back home and maybe we can point you in the right direction to what you are used to. Again welcome!

Good Morning Y'all! It's nice to see more people here today. I was beginning to think we were a lost cause. lol It's extremely hot here too, just really muggy. We went riding yesterday and I got so hot I wanted to come home. DH is always out in it, so it didn't bother him, but I got half a$$ed sick. I couldn't wait to get home and just jump in the pool and cool down. I have been doing a little cleaning today, but I am trying to take it a little easy too. Lately I have worked so much I go back to work thinking I haven't even had time off. I have been tired all week and I am going to try to rest a little today. We are supposed to get some storms tonight/tomorrow and it will probably just make it more muggy. UGH! I was looking forward to spring, but as usual we never get much spring, we just turn the heat off one day and turn the air on. Well, I am going to go finish up my chores and then try to get some R&R. Later chickies!

Good Morning Y'all, Boy, I am not use to coming here and there aren't many posts! I sure do miss everyone's posts! Eileen - I can't believe I beat you here today! How's things going chickie? Have you got into that pool yet? Pat - We need to see some new pictures of you! Diane - Glad things are going good for you! Jessica - I forgot when you said your trip is? Sherry - What's up for today? Have you been doing any riding? Mandy - Where are you? How's Abi and how are you doing? It's been hot here, high 90's but pretty. We are still working on the deck, it wasn't ready to stain but we got pretty much everything else done on it. I really do love it. Catch y'all later!

Hello Y'all! Boy, the winds are so high here today. I came home and my pool is so full of leaves etc. I guess I have to go out and clean it up some because it just keeps falling and it will really be a mess by tomorrow. Not my favorite job though. Congrat Trisha! At least you won't spend weeks worrying, your time will come very fast! Where is everyone at? I hope this thread isn't falling apart. Mandy girl, what's up? It's really unusual for you not to post, are you alright? Pat just because you had to go to work don't mean you can skip here! Sherry miss busy bee, what's going on today? Kat hope your trip to texas is going good. Jessica how is your trip planning doing? Did you find all kinds of stuff to wear? Eileen hope you are not working too hard. I miss your posts! Miss retirement Cindy, come and say hello! Well, I know I missing some, but the mess outside is calling my name so I better do it before I run out of energy. Catch you all later!

I hear those things are really fun! I haven't seen one yet! Sherry you are a busy bee! I don't know how you do it all! Pat - Hope your gal is better tomorrow! Jessica - glad you got a better deal! Now you have extra to spend! Well, nothing much new here, just working. Hello to everyone else!

Welcome to LBT! You might want to post under the introduction page, you'll get more responses there.

Welcome back! Glad you found us again!

Welcome to LBT Beth! Congrats on your surgery date. I started out by reading all the threads on here, the really old ones as well as the new ones. You'll gain lots of valuable information just for taking the time to read them.

Congrats to you! That is the first step! Ask all your questions and let us know what the doctor tells you. Good Luck!

You look great! what a difference, and your smile says it all!

Congrats on the surgery date! It's only normal to go through lots of different emotions. Keep busy and read up on the lapband all you can. Good Luck!

Good luck and don't forget to let us know how you did!

I eat both popcorn and corn without any problems. I just can't eat as much as I used to, but then I don't want to either.

I'm sending the monkeys out!

Good Morning Y"all! I'm up an at it early this morning, it's going to be hot and I want to get some things done before the heat sets in. I was up late, and then didn't sleep good so it's going to be a challenge for sure. What's everyone doing today? Jessica you are doing so great with your wl! Kat - Glad you are doing better! Well, going to get moving!

Good Morning Y'all! It's Friday! Yeah! While it was a short week, it seems like it has been two weeks long for me. Kat - Sorry you are feeling so bad, hopefully you are better today. Hugs! Diane - No, I am not used to my laptop yet, but then I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it. Most of it is just me leaving my cursor somewhere and not realizing I am doing something I didn't mean to do. But I love the idea I can carry it outside and work with it. I don't have to stay put in one place. Pat - You need to post a few more pictures now that it has been a while. Sherry - Hang in there, sooner or later you will start losing again. Eileen - Are you in that pool yet? Mandy - Have you been out riding your bike? I know I am missing some but my clock says run do not walk to the shower. Work calls and I have to go. Catch you all later!

Good Morning Y'all! I finally get back on here and y'all leave! Come on get your butts back to posting. I got a message from Cindy and she is doing good, just really busy. She said to tell y'all hello! Sherry, I special ordered my computer so it wouldn't have Vista on it. they are having lots of problems with it. It starts when you try to download other programs to it. I just wanted the one without one on it and they are hard to find now. Well, going to go jump in the shower.l Have a great day!

Congrats on your surgery date! Keep reading everything you can, you will be know exactly what to expect. Good Luck!

Good Morning Y'all! I could sure use a few more of these days off work! lol It has been really nice just being home for a few. Eileen - Glad you got to enjoy your day. It has been in the hi 90's here, so our pool is nice about 84 degrees and just perfect with the weather. Kat - How are you feeling? Can't wait to see some pictures! Mandy - Thanks for the addresses, you are a sweetie! Pat - Thanks, it is really nice to be back too! Are you pretty much healed up now? It was so nice talking to you! We almost finished the deck, we still have a few things on trim to do, then we have to stain it and it is done. I will have to plant some flowers or something too. But it is so nice to sit on, it gets a really nice breeze and it is shady too! Well, got to go get my shower and get ready to go to work.

Congrats to you Josh! Don't forget to let us know your date!

I have had my band tighten up lots of time after a long period of time. You really do need to contact your doctor because with all that is going on you could get yourself in big trouble. One more thought, do you go on liquids after you pb? Do you give yourself time to heal up before going on to solids? I would suggest a call to your doctor and explain everything that is going on. The reflux at night is not a good thing at all. Good Luck and let us know how you do.

Happy Memorial Day Y'all! Gosh is sure is good to be able to come back here! I can't tell y'all how much I missed y'all. So, what is everyone doing today? We are just going to get some stuff done around here. We have some yard work to get done and just a little housework to do. I actually could do a lot of housework, but I'm not going to. lol I plan on spending some time in the pool today too. I have really enjoyed the three days off, I wish it was longer though! Everyone have a great day, and I'll check back later.

Each person is different, and each day is different. Some days I can eat a little bread and other days I can't take one bite. It's just a matter of trying it and see if you can or can't. Just because you can't eat something this week doesn't mean you can't next week. Don't be afraid to experiment with different foods but make sure you chew everything really well.

Welcome to bandland! Walking and sipping Water as much as possible helps the most. It gets better with each day! Congrats on your surgery!
