I can't remember if I thought it would be easy. I was probably on a high like I am every single time I've ever tried the new diet. However, I know for a fact I did not think it would be this freakin hard. I have only lost 40lbs in almost 10 months. I know people who have lost over 90. They post, oh I lost 15 lbs this month, oh I lost 10 this month. Well I post, HOT DAMN I lost 1.5 lbs this month. I am eating no more than 800cals a day and losing 2 lbs a month if I'm lucky. I also exercise. However, I will not exercise like some who having started running marathons. I don't have the desire for that and doubt I ever will. I am not going to give up, 1 to 2 lbs a month is better than nothing, which is what it always was before the band. It's just very discouraging to see how much some people are losing. I think it will work for most, but for some it's easy, and for some it ain't. I think it works better for people who ate large amounts preband. If that's not why your fat, the band isn't going to work that well.

Well it looks like we may have to start killing fat people. However, what about skinny people who eat like hogs? We are going to have to kill them too. What about bulimics? They can appear skinny, but they are overeating. So we must kill them too. What about people abusing laxatives? I heard Brittany is? They are overeating, we are gonna have to kill them. What about the fat people who barely eat? Do we kill them? We have to hire police to detect how much individuals are consuming. I suggest we set up a colony, like they did for lepers. That way we won't have to actually kill them. They can eat each other.

Good Morning Everyone, I came here to say good morning and to say a little prayer. Dear God, Please give me the strenght to continue biting my tongue and not tell my secretary off. One more week, Please let me make it one more week. Phyl - I been wanting to try cooking scallops. Not that I can eat them, but I'll cook them for the family. We had shrimp last night, and I couldn't keep them down. We went camping this weekend. Last night while bathing I noticed a black spot at the very top of my thigh. It was a Tick. OMG, a freakin Tick.

Hi Everyone, Salsa - I wish I did half of your exercise. O.K., a 1/4. Girl, you Rock!! If anyone watched Extreme Makeover today, The house is about 3 miles from me. I am sore from all the biking this weekend. We did 9 miles Sat. morning, then about 6more later. Then we walked about 2miles later. I didn't take my medicine last night, and I'm a little scared to swallow them tonight. :leaving: I'll do it with hot tea. :sneaky:

I was able to swallow a little water before bed last night. This morning I pbed my coffee. We went bike riding, rode 9 miles and after that I was able to drink water. By 4:00pm I could finally get some food down. I feel much better, except I'm camping and my plumbing backed up, if ya know what I mean. So now, I'm a little miserable. I think I'm going find hubby to talk me for a walk. I just drank some metamucil, maybe a walk will help.:woot: I gotta go, PUN intended.

Hi everyone, I'm at a campground right now getting ready to go to bed. It's a state park, and they actually have free internet. Wow I took my pills about 15 mins. ago and they got stuck, I tried to swallow some warm water and it didn't help. I pbed, my throat is burning, I can feel the pills burning a hole in me. Oh God it's freakin miserable I can taste them, it is actually even burning in my ears. This is freakin miserable!!!!!!

Marie that price is VERY HIGH. You need to shop around. I was banded 7/24/07, self-pay, 14,000, with a year of fills. You could fly down here to New Orleans for 11,000 less. I am a very slow loser, and my vote is: In a New York second, YES!!

MyDestiny - Is this amount of vitamins going to hurt me? When I get my blood test are they checking vitamin levels?

My Dr. says 2 vitamins a day if they are childrens, one if adult, and a complete B vitamin daily. I just got liquid B's at Whole Foods because I couldn't swallow the B vitamin. I also take 2 chewable Flintstone's daily. I just bought the chocolate calcium chews from Walmart, because I am definitely not getting the required calcuim daily.

Neither of us has ever cheated, we have been married 23years, inseparable for 25. We both have very strong moral values. Neither of us would ever do that to each other nor to our children. People who cheat without a care about what they do to their children just blow me away. They think they only hurt their spouse, their children will NEVER get over it. IT CHANGES WHO THEY ARE !!! I can't relate to the life is all about my happiness attitute.

Girl, don't worry about such things. I don't take my clothes off for NO ONE. Haven't been to the gyno in coon ages. The last thing I remember before surgery was a nurse saying, "Is this gown tied in the back?" and me replying, "I'll get it for you." and then I tried to untie it. I was taking my clothes off for strangers. Whatever they put in that I.V., you ain't gonna give a @*@)$* what they do to you or what the hell you're wearing. You will have a gown on with nothing underneath. They put the massaging booties on you for bloodclots.

O.K., it's the end of the day. All the children are gone from school so I looked at the Ben and Jimmy video. And guess what? It's so damn funny, I peed my pants. I'm going home now. When it got to Josh Groban, I freakin lost it!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: He definitely got her back!!!

No, I'm at school, I can't play it now. I'll get in trouble if I pee my pants.

Hey ya'll, if you haven't seen the the video with Matt Damon and Sarah Silverman google it: Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon video She did it for her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel and then he did one with Ben Afelk (sp?) You will pee you pants laughing.

oops, I forgot the s. It's steady

Brandy - I've been on Tofranil for panic attacks for 17yrs. My weight loss is ridiculous slow, but it steady.

POOL !!!!!! I just got my dream, 12x24 above ground, sunk halfway in ground, with a salt system. I have wanted a pool for 20 yrs. I'm a swimmer, always was. If you like swimming go with the pool. You can get a heater, If you enjoy sitting in water go with the spa. I don't get the lure of spas, but some enjoy them.

Jackie - I'm so sorry you have to go through this. She's obviously very angry about something, and she's taking it out on you. Maybe she's angry because you're happy. I have no idea. I'm skipping school today. I hate it. I didn't feel well. My lower back has been hurting a lot lately. I don't know if it's my ovaries or my back. So, I took some Tylenol and stayed in bed.

Great job with the exercise girls!!!!! Phyl how old did you say your daughter was again? Two or three? :tt1:

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!

Janet - OMG that's horrible, freakin terrifying. I hope she is not terribly traumatized, but I'm sure she is. OMG, that's so scary. I feel so sorry for her. God bless her

WHERE DA HELL IS EVERYONE?:thumbup::confused::thumbup: ARE YOU ALL PARTYING WITH JANET? NO ONE INVITED ME, DO I SMELL OR SOMETHING?????:sad_smile::frown:

O.K. gals it looks like we're gonna have to go find Janet. Somebody get the rope, let's go.........

Kari - Good Job Honey!!! :thumbup: I knew no one was gonna have to verbally humiliate you. Janet- Whenever you get back down from cloud nine, in today's Home Depot sale flyer: Charmnglow 5 burner 72000 btu's easily converts to gas, conversion kit included, 349.00.

Hey Everybody, what's all this hoopla about? Did someone lose weight or something????? You girls are acting like someone did something unbelievably extraordinary, like maybe losing over 90lbs in 9mts. Surely that couldn't have happened. It's absurd. Who could transform their body in 9mts?
