YAY!!!! grammi, Im so happy to see you got your band! It seems like you are doing really good. Just take it easy and try to walk as much as you can, that will help with the gas. Welcome to Bandland!!!

WOW Paula! you look great! and Yellow is a good color on you!

I have told everyone about my band... but I really havent seen any of them since I was banded.. But my mom does watch me eat and almost every bite she tells me be careful, and one time i patted my chest cuz i felt a burp coming up and she had a fit.. "oh my gosh are you okay do you need anything, eat slower, whats going on" Ugh mom I just needed to burp!!!! LOL I think im really going to hate people asking me how much I have lost all the time.. thats the one im really dreading...

Hi and Welcome to LBT! Im also 28, but only 2 weeks into my band! You have a wonderful success story! And you look GREAT! its an inspiration!!

Take in more portein. I thought I was going to lose hair, instead im losing less hair then before banded.. kinda werid huh.

Good Luck! You are going to do great!!!!

Oh wow Jenna, they look really good. Mine dont look so good at all.. They are very red still and im still bursed.. also mine are so much bigger. if my tummy wasnt so gross I would post mine here.

Im with you on horror movies Porclndoll... if I cant find a good movie.. a good horror novel will do good too. I also like comedy, romance... Spanglish was awesome movie I had to buy it so I could see it over and over again! Im such a sucker!

Im doing wonderful Brenda.. How have you been doing? -18lbs?? WOW Thats really good!

I have a brand new size 32 Capri's if anyone wants them. They are cream colored and have ties at the bottom. I dont think I ever worn them so they are pretty new. If anyone wants them just PM me your address. First come first serve.

oh man you poor thing... I have heel spurs / bone spurs and mine hurt like hell... So i know what you are going through. Hope everything works out for you. even with OWD heel spurs can still hurt LOL

wow sounds like you had a wonderful birthday weekend.... and you deserved it!!!!!!

be able to once again fit in a booth at a resturant. and not have to ask for table only.

Great job!!!! Keep it up! your doing great!

Oh man.. I too would be upset... I do hope your mom gets her flowers tomorrow.. Let us know!!

Mine were stiched inside then steri-striped on the outside... like others said every Dr. is different

Yeah I agree with Kathy, looks like your on the right track.. Im still on liquids.. so Im not much help on food ideas yet... I cant wait to start mushies!

WOW that is wonderful Kendra, Even though we dont see the scale change much.. those inches really tell another story dont they!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Okay who ever is sitting on my tummy GET OFF!!!!!!!!! Oh I have more pressure today then yesturday.. and it has some tingling and little sperts of sharp pain... Sounds like a recipe for trouble... Anyway I know its normal and Im still a bit bloated.. Just wanted to vent a bit on what Im going thourgh. It was a bit hard getting down a protien shake this morning.. took me a few hours.. I made it really thin too.. thinner then paint... ( im suppose to drink anything with the same consistancey as paint) My upper thigh is killing me too I almost want to cry, its numb and burns and i get what feels like electric shock pains Ahhhhhhhh.... I went to my PCP and he told to just put heating pad for no more then 10min and rub it. He checked me for any blood clogs and i was good! So thats what im having to deal with today... not to mention my normal back pain that i even had before surgery... okay im hanging in there...

Its still numb, Im not getting the very sharp pain as much... so hopefully thats a sign that my leg is starting to get better. Thanks for wondering

Happy Band Day Lisa!!!!! You have gone thourgh so much and have stayed strong thourgh it all.. and you look WONDERFUL!!!!!! Keep up it girl!!!

Kathy, you are so pretty!!! you do not look like you are going to be 40 at all!! wow!!

Welcome to Bandland!!!!! woohoo

Are you getting plenty pf proteins in? I know if I dont have my protien i feel very weak and run down too. Also you might not be loseing weight because your body thinks your starving it so it is storing the fat you have. Im a new bandster too so this is just what im thinking.. you probably will be getting better advise.

Funny you mentioned cold.. instead of hot... I had tried it a bit ago and it actually helped a little.. not to much but i wasnt getting the sharp electric pains... And I cant even touch that makes it worse..
