Hi... I was banded just over 1 year ago... I am down 85 lbs and I feel great !!! I would be happy to help you in whatever way I can. Best wishes for success !!! Lo

Sunny I'm so sorry for your loss. My 'baby' Coco died this past February due to a brain tumor.....I still cry when I think of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Snag

YES...and put butter on it too !!!

Hi everyone !!! Sunny~ Hope I saved you from a nightmare with a Smooth treadmill. Be carefull....they manufacture under different names. Mine was made by Spirit Fitness. Best bet is to buy one AT a fitness store who WILL come to your home for service. Only4me ~ you cracked me up about watching Food Network !!! I've been home for 4 weeks and watching it all the time !!!! Stomach growling, mouth watering.... thinking why am I torturing myself ??? But just can't turn it off !!! Don't ya love Paula?? CAOLIN ~ Have you tried the liquid tylenol ? The taste isn't bad....just VERY sweet. FRUSTRATED ~ Too bad you can't change that name to FANTASTIC !!!! Glad to hear your good news !! Congrats !!! Best wishes to everyone for continued success !!!! :biggrin1: SNAG

Dini You seem like such a sweetie...I think you deserve better. It seems you're really not very happy. Your emotional state IS affecting your child. It is difficult to end something but isn't it better for you and your baby for you to be happy? IMHO....move on. You are YOUNG. Don't look for love.... it will find you ! I left a bum (sperm donor) nearly 15 years ago. I have been remarried 10 years. My second husband raised my son as his own. My son considers him to be his father. God bless, be strong ! Snag

Hi all... Well July is gone, but we're still postin' like crazy !!!! What a bond we have !!! I'm doing great, feeling great, Starting to get hungry sometimes during the day. :hungry: Looking forward to my first fill....Aug 13th. Just wanted to vent a bit about my treadmill nightmare.... DON'T EVER EVER EVER buy a treadmill made by Smooth/spirit fitness. I purchased mine (internet sale) 3 years ago. It started to act up on me just about 4 weeks ago. (such bad timing) To make my long horror story shorter.... they do not offer any service/repair !!!! When I called for help....they basically sent me a part ($260) and told me to fix it myself !!! They insisted it was very easy (thank God my husband is handy) after he changed out the part...it still wouldn't work. I BEGGED for someone to come to my home. ($120) They came out today to change the motor. Guess what? it still doesn't work. (They didn't charge me the $120) Now they want me to take off the top console and send it to them for diagnosis and "possible" repair. They told me... they don't make this model anymore...and there are no parts for it !!! Can you believe this??? I am so disgusted...I'm throwing it out for trash and going to buy a new one tomorrow. If you're thinking this was some cheap model...ha.... I paid around $1500. I can't remember the exact price. I thought I did my homework...all the reviews online were great. Buyer beware !!!! I'm going to a fitness STORE tomorrow....they already told me they do have in home service should I need it. Thanks for listening.....hope this helps out anyone who might be thinking about buying a treadmill !!! :paranoid Snag

Hi Chimboree......glad your doing well !!!

Hello all .... Sorry I dropped out for awhile. All has been going very well. It's really hard to keep up with this post !!! Welcome to all the new Lucky 7's. Best wishes to all the recent banders !!!! And all the upcoming banders !!!! The diet has been going well, progressed from clear liquids x1 week to mushies x1 week and starting next is soft solids. So far...no problems with eating. No "pb". It's totally amazing how full you feel after eating only 4 oz. !!!! This &^*@ really works !!!!! woo hoo ......... I just got my treadmill fixed yesterday....(could you believe it broke 2 weeks ago!) So today I will start my daily routine on that. Can't wait to get back to my Turbo Jam tapes !!! Best of all.....according to my scale at home....I am down 20 lbs !!!!!! I FEEL GREAT !! It's amazing how only 20 lbs can make such a difference in how you feel physically. My knees feel so much better. Ok...so enough about me..... thanks for listening (reading) !!!!! God bless. Snag :whoo:

Hello all my fellow lucky 7's !!!!!! Sorry it took so long for me to give you some updates....I vowed to read all the missed posts !!!!! That only took me ONE day. So today is day 4 post op and I'm finally feeling good. The first TWO days were killer !!! The "GAS" was horrendous !!!!! I was using the pain med just for the gas pains. The abdomen feels 'sore' but not bad really. I went for my follow up visit with the doctor today.... all bandages removed, sites healing well, and LOST 12 lbs !!!!! woooohoooo !! I'm getting tired of the clear liquids.... can't wait to EAT mashed potatoes on Saturday !!!! Missed you all..... good to be back !!!! Now I need to work on a new ticker..... Snag

Thank you all. My surgery will be next Friday, July 6th. I was given this date "tentatively" when I went for my initial surgeon consult. It was about 5 weeks from consult to date. As posted earlier, ins co took two weeks to make a decision.

Finally got the official word today.... It took TWO weeks after submitting all paper work. Good luck to you all. Qualcare NJ

Goodness gracious I am glad that women congratulated me on my gastric bypass......what if I would have gotten on the table and woke up having things rerouted and cut out. __________________ ~Jackie~ aahhhh yes.....exactly why I don't want to spend anymore time than I have to at the hospital. ( I work at one....I know what can happen ) :faint:

Hi Nelli ~~~ I am scheduled to stay.... but I think if my surgery is early...they may let me go home...I sure hope so.....I don't want to stay....

Indeed........ maybe someone works for Big Pharma ?? :paranoid

:squareeye I never noticed what time zone....I just click on chat and see who's in there.... I'm Eastern.

Keep in mind.... by eliminating fats from the diet, either by not eating them or by blocking them by using this pill.... you are also eliminating the ESSENTIAL (omega 3 & 6 ) fats from the diet. They are called 'ESSENTIAL' for a reason...the body NEEDS them !!! It's like running your car WITHOUT oil. This is just another case of Big Pharma putting $$$$ before people.
