I have not had this happen to me in a while!!! I gained 2 pounds!!! I am not happy today........its not time for TOM. I did everything I usually do.....drink water, protein!!!! I know I shouldnt get discouraged......but it still does not make me happy....I can deal with not loosing....but gaining is a whole other mental issue!!! Sandra 255h 242s 206c....was 204 yesterday 165 goal

Melissa, WISH YOU LUCK....WISH YOU LUCK.....WISH YOU LOTS OF LUCK!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you on Friday!!!! Sandra 255h/242s/204c/165g

Wenjea, You are doing awsome girl!!! 48 lbs lost since May 17th!!! You go girl!!! I bet you feel great!!!! Make sure you give yourself a treat for all your hard work. Once I hit 199 I am gonna start getting my nails done. I have clothes in all sizes so I havent shopped much....I did by a pair of jeans on sale size 16 and a top size 14.....oooohh and a dress size LARGE....no X in front of it!!! As soon as I hit 190 I will for some fun clothes!! Sandra 255h/242s/204 c

Today is 12 weeks or 3 months since I was banded!! I have lost 38 pounds!!!! I am very happy w/ my results!!! I am hoping to be at my goal weight of 165 pounds by the end of January 2008. If I am blessed enough to get to that number I would like to get to between 140-150. For now my goal is to get under 200 by September....I shoot for about loosing 8 lbs per month.

is it sale or sell???? LOL

Ragdoll, They sell Seven Jeans at Lane Bryant.

Ragdollx19, Seven Jeans are just a brand...........Like Guess or Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, Levis......just more trendy and more expensive. They fit amazing....makes you look shapley in all the right areas!!! If you ever have a chance try a pair on.......you will sooooo want to buy them. Sandra 255h/242s/204c/165g

Melissa, Things will work out.......your daughter will start having fun.....and you will be at ease with the whole situation. Just think that when she gets home she is gonna be so greatfull for having you and vice versa!!! Sandra 255h/242s/204c/165g

I weighed in this morning at 204.....I am getting closer!!! Cant wait to be in ONEDERLAND!!! God help me!! Sandra 255h/242s/204c/165g

Melissa!! OMG!! Thats a lot of drama!! I think it is jealousy!! I am just gonna get all cute and thin and prance around in front of them w/ there FAT NECKS!! lol!!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

I have gotten so many different responses....so are happy for me and supportive. Then others are negative that I had the surgery and they dont think its worth it! Then I have the ones that say ....you've lost 37 lbs.....well you still have a long way to go before you are then!!! The sad part is that they are NOT thin!!! UUUUGGGG !!! I wish I could tell them at least I now have a long neck and a jaw line.....they only have FAT NECKS....or actually NO NECKS AT ALL!!!LOL Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

Has anyone gotten negative reactions from family and friends because you are loosing weight???? I didnt tell my husbands family for fear of them being ugly to me about it......since I am the biggest one in the family. The rest of them are heavy but not as heavy as I WAS!! Well know that I have lost some noticable weight I am getting some nasty remarks.....even some friends that I was open about having the band dont want to talk to me anymore. Its like they could be my friend if we were both fat but now that the weight is coming off she wants nothing to do with me. I am quite sad....I never judge anyone.......I would be happy if a friend or family were loosing weight and feeling great! People are weird....I dont understand. Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

Wooo HOooooo! No muffin top!!! Now that a VICTORY!!! I tried on my seven jeans again.....no prob getting them on or button them....but I still get those little love handles on the side. No muffin top but I dont like my fat all hanging out on the sides!!! YOU GO GIRL!!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

What does NSV stand for.....I know what it means....but my mind just went blank....I know its NEW________Victory?

No weight loss to report today!!! I am a little bummed because I was loosing so steady all of last week. I did NOT drink Water this weekend or focus on the Protein.....now we did go to Schlitterbaughn in Galveston (water park) and we were there all day....walked and swam so much my legs hurt by the time we got home. I do have a NSV........usally when we go to water parks, or any amusement park...by the end of the day I cant walk because I have rubbed my thighs RAW. So I have these two red blister/rash on the inside of my thighs for days. Well I had NO RAW THIGHS on Satarday and I didnt wear short.....I wore the tankini w/ the bikini and a skirt on top. Feels great.......now I just have to focus this week...and maybe I will be in onederland soon!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

NURSELAURELI, CONGRATS ON MEETING YOUR GOAL!!! You go girl!!!! I am anxiously wanting to get into ONEDERLAND!!!! My goal is to be under 200 by my kids birthdays in September!!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

Josiebies, Congrats!!! You are doing awsome!!!! When did you get banded??? I hope to be in the 100's soon!!!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

I dont know whats going on w/ me......its hard to believe that the weight is actually coming off!!! I am soooo excited to see that scale move!!!! I saw numbers this morning that got me all teary eyed!!! First my scale stopped at 203 and hung out for a while then 204 for a while, then back to 203....it finally stopped at 205. Another pound lost!!!!!! 37 pounds lost since my band and 50 pounds total since January!!! OnederLand is calling my name! I usually dont loose weight on the weekend....to busy to drink all my water and actually I dont make an effort for the protein or exercise, but this weekend I will atleast drink the h20 and eat my protein and take a couple of walks w/ my kids and dogs! My goal every month is to loose 8 lbs.....so 202 is the magic number for me this month!!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

Weighed in at 205!!! Now I feel that its lying to me!!!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

Mini, Take that as a sign from the man upstairs!!! You are doing great!!! Sandra 255h/242s/206c/165s

Twin Mommy, I am not going to say that I have found my sweet spot....for fear of Jinksing myself. According to my doc.....you can go from one meal to the next without being hungry in between.....you eat about a cup of food at each meal and feel satisfied. Just make sure you choose your food wisely!!!!!! Choose things that are good for you and have some kind of nutrional value.....protein is the key to staying on the loosing side!!! Drink your 36 oz of water. Good luck!!! You are doing great!!! Sandra 255h/242s/206c/165c

Lovestoned, I went throught the same situation last year....I was suppost to get banded in July 2006. I check w/ my insurance...did the list of criteria...I had to do......pyschologist, cardiologist, pcp, nutritionist!!! Then I was denied because it was written out of my policy!!!!! UUUGGG, I cried, I yelled, I cursed!!! Then I said....I will get my bills in order and I wll finance the rest of my life/health/wellbeing!!! So I finaned $13000 in May and had my surgery May 22!!! I pay 418 for 3 yrs!!!! I know thats alot....but considering I was paying 150 for presciptions a month and that my 600 a month car payment would be paid off in 4 months....I said what the hell and did it!! Well 11 weeks later, 36 pounds lost forever!!! My doc even said 20 more pounds an no more prescriptions!! If you want it bad enough you will find a way!!! Keep your head up!!! Sandra 255h/242s/206c/165g

Twinn Mommy, Are you still hungry after you eat???? Your not suppost feel hungry after you eat. Is it head hunger???? Are you drinking 64 oz of water....eating protein??? Sandra 255h/242s/206c/165g

Linda! Wow!! Congrats on the 60 lbs gone for ever!!!! YEA Linda!! I bet you feel wonderfull!!! Inches, pounds I will take either one!!! LOL!!! YOU GO GIRL!! Sandra 255h/242s/206c/165g

Lady Lana, You are doing great!!! 39 lbs is a lot in 3 months!!! Remember just because we got the band....we are not gonna be thin tommorrow!!! I feel that way too......I eat less, move more....The weight should be melting off!! I took us years to get big.....it will take time to get small again. Dont get discouraged......just do what your suppost to. Eat your protein......eat regualar meals.....drink, drink water......and move your body!!! You can do it!! 30 pounds is A LOT!!!! YOU ARE DOING GREAT GIRL!!!! Sandra 255h/242s/206c/165g
