Good for you! I'm glad you're doing well! It was weird to me also how I didn't get cravings anymore. Still is. I use to crave sweets constantly. Especially chocolate! Keep up the good work! You're doing great!

No. There are many doctors in the states that will do the adjustments for Mexico patients. Hang in there & don't give up! We're here for you!

I'm so sorry LBT! That is just awful! I agree with the ladies above me! Get a second opinion!

My family keeps bugging me about my weight loss. I am losing slow. I have not felt it was right for me to be exercising, until this past week, due to a back injury & both legs being numb as a result of it. So I decided to tell everyone that I quit weighing myself. I told them that the scales were not moving quick enough for me causing me to get depressed & overeat. So they all leave me alone now. It seems that people expect you to lose like an RNY patient. And when you don't, I kind of feel like they are saying, "See I told you so. You just wasted $14,000." And I have actually been told twice that I wasted my money. My sister-in-law had the RNY a little over a year ago & is a size 1 now. She looks awful (emaciated), vomits, has dumping syndrome & the list goes on. She is constantly telling me i should have had GBP. It gets my blood boiling! My little sister will not even discuss my surgery. She totally changes the subject. She is also morbidly obese. Since I have had my surgery she has decided to get pregnant. I have been married for 13.5 years & have not been able to have kids. It's all she talks about. I feel sorry for her. The green monster has her in it's grip. My G-ma (Nana) told me that jealousy was the best compliment! Anyway! Just had to get some stuff off my chest! Thanks for listening!.......Jess

OOOOHHHH! The ice cream dragon! Baskin & Robbins peanut butter & chocolate had a very big part in my weight! Thank God they tore down the only B&R in Conway in order to put up a Starbuck's! & TG I'm not a big coffee drinker! & yes, I love fitday.com!

Okay! Here's my favorite! 1 scoop EAS vanilla soy Protein powder from wal-mart 1/2 - 3/4 cup pomegranate juice a couple handfuls of frozen peaches splenda to taste I whizz it around in my personal blender & voila!!

The ingrredients list on the back of Cavender's is very vague. It says : salt, black pepper, corn starch, garlic, MSG, Oregano, flavor base seasoning (hydrolyzed corn soy Protein, sugar, onion powder, spice extractives), parsley & 5 other spices This is word for word! Sorry!

Thanks Eileen! They are fun! And I have to admit, the exercise does work! I only exercised 2 days last week (Friday & Saturday) & I am already down 2 pounds. I have Sweatin to the oldies 1 & 3, & i have disco sweat. I think I loaned STTO 2 out & never got it back. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement! As my G-ma says, "I'll keep a pluggin!" ........Jess

That's awful! I have to confess though, this is one of my biggest fears about my husband. I don't think he would do anything like this, but you never know. In 13.5 years of marriage he has NEVER said one word about my weight! And so far as I have been able to tell, he has always been "interested in me" if you know what I mean. I feel for her! What an a$$hole!

Thanks Mandy! I signed my family & me up!

I had a flipped port but it wasn't serious. I had it repaired in an outpatient procedure. No big deal. At least not for me. Infection is a possibility with any surgery or procedure. It's just one of the risks. But for me it seemed like a relatively small risk. Just make sure that anyone who accesses your port uses proper technique (betadine, sterile gloves, etc.).

Yep! My back is a sore point right now. Some days are better than others. I'm going to keep trying though. I have dug out my early 90s Richard Simmons Sweatin to the oldies tapes (LOL) & I have been doing them this week. They're really fun! I just won't do them when my husband is around. Some of the stuff can be kind of corny. I am also really watching what I eat. I have been tracking what i put in my mouth on fitday.com. I really think that was a big part of why I have not lost as quickly. I was amazed at what all that food averaged out to be. So hopefully my weight loss will pick up again. I also dusted off the treadmill. I'm thinking the days I don't do aerobics, I will walk. Thanks for the advice! & by the way, you are doing great! Keep it up! Thanks!....Jess

Thanks everyone! I have been wanting to write this post for a long time but I'm not a complainer. I know that I am very lucky to have this band! There are so many that want one & for whatever reason are unable to get one. I do love it! & yes if I didn't have it I probably would keep on gaining. I'm not second guessing my decision, I'm overjoyed that I made this decision! I just wish others would keep their negative comments to themselves! It sure would make my life easier! I love you guys! Thanks again!...Jess

Amen Sister!!

According to the Farmer's Almanac, tomorrow is the best day to quit smoking this month. I'm quitting! Want to join me? :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke :smoke

Sending prayers & white light your way! Hope you have a speedy & uneventful recovery!

LOL! I asked my DH to buy me a pack on his way home Friday night & he forgot! So he didn't get sex! I said, "Sorry but i have nothing to smoke afterwards!" He got me a pack the next morning! LOL!

Congrats Mandy! I hope this fill works for you! It sounds like it will!

If it were me, Id call my doc & tell him what's going on. He may want you to come on in for another fill. It took me 3 fills to get any noticeable restriction. My doc always wants me to call him in at least a week to tell him how the fill feels to me. Good luck! Don't give up!

Welcome! I agree with everything that the nice people above me have posted! LOL! Nice to meet you!

Hope things get better for you! ((((HUGS))))
