I have a busy weekend ahead so I will probably be dropping some more soon!

I get stuck on LapBandTalk.com! Seriously, I have found that hard cooked eggs of any type will give me trouble, and any kind of deep fried potato product. I knew I did not handle F.F. very well, but darn it if I cant have tater tots too! Found that out the hard way last Saturday AM. The good news is that the house that I barfed at... I guess I was marking my territory. We are putting in an offer today at lunch! WooHoo!

You are still WELL within normal range for Lap Band weight loss. Me and Cindy are the "results may vary" part of those weightloss commercials! Your doing a great job!

Wow... I would be up a creek if I could not eat these two things! I can do chicken, just not the egg. But that brings up a whole other philosophical discussion. I have found that my taste buds have REALLY changed since I have gotten settled into my new lifestyle. Where I did not really like salads before, I LOVE them now! (as long as they don't have the boiled egg) I had me another PB yesterday morning. I had eaten some Breakfast tater tots from Burger King. I have no idea what I was thinking. I don't do french fries at all... so... what in the world was I thinking? What makes it worse, We were with our Realtor and had just pulled up to our first house to look at. I had to stay outside for about 10 min. while I was "taking care of business"! We did end up liking the house and I have already "marked my territory" HA!

Ok... My B&A are up now.

Ok... I just passed my 5 month mark. I just LOVE being able to go out and enjoy my new location. For those that don't know, I moved from My beloved Texas to Upstate South Carolina. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Here is my before pix at Halloween '07. the other pix are all taken within the last week.

No way! I don't want to give you any reason to beat me to the 100 mark! You have 3 pounds... I have 7. That could take me 3 days or 3 weeks. I am not much of a betting man! Now remember... I had my surgery almost a month after you! (not that I am making excuses) I just passed my 5 month mark. I can't believe that I am where I am. I remember looking at the B&A thread before I had my Sx and thinking " I hope the band works for me!" Well... I guess it has! I will be posting some B&A pix tonight sometime so check on that thread!

I aint waitn' on you! I got the throttle pushed all the way down! Seriously, I hope your scale tips in your favor VERY soon!

Glad you had fun on your V. I guess there is no better way to get OFF vacation than to have a nice BIG fill! That will break those vacation habits! Glad your feeling better! If your this tight from this fill, you may be VERY close to the sweet spot. I think I am there now. I can only eat like 3 chicken wings and a few bites of "sides". I think that is why I am really starting to shed weight. I can't wait to break that 100 pound mark! I know the pain your talking about. The first week after this last fill was excruciating! I had pain on the first bite of just about anything I ate! I am still tight, but It is much better than it was!

Well, I went shopping at Khols... YES KHOLS! I needed to pick up some more long sleeve shirts for work and I thought I would see if I could find any 3X shirts there. I have had no luck in the past. I saw a rack in the Men's section that was 70-90% off. There was only one 3X on the rack and I picked it up. I saw some 2X there as well and at that price... I am talking 2.50-7.00 dollars per shirt... I could afford to pick up some for "when I get there". I know you know what I am talking about. You know you have done the same thing! Anyway, I just thought I would try one of the 2X shirts on. IT FIT! I then tried ALL THE OTHER 2X shirts. THEY ALL FIT! I then grabbed the 3X shirt and it looked like a gunny sack on me! I had not noticed it since that was all I had to wear and before Sx, I should have been wearing a 5X! I was squeezing into those 4X's. I was excited on the way home. I asked my wife; "do you notice anything about me? I am not all pissed off." That was the first shopping trip I remember taking with her that I did not get pissed off because all my old sizes did not fit anymore. Either that of they did not even have the fat-boy clothes I was looking for! Feels good to be so close to the century mark! Oops, that is a scale Victory.

Yep! I don't just want to graze in to the 2's... I want to take a sledge hammer and absolutely smash that 299 mark and NEVER see it again! I figured the 280's would place me well into the 2's. Stay the course Nymphs! Weather it is 2 or 20 pounds, it is still important to our bodies to just get rid of it!

Foofy, beware... Lap band commandments say "thou shalt not barf"! I would be VERY cautious if I were you. I know it is agony getting stuck, but the risks of prolapse are VERY REAL! If you prolapse, you will more than likely lose your band! You don't want that do ya? It scared the crap out me when I puked! I was so worried. It turned out ok this time, but I surly don't want that to become second hand for me.

Hey CindyG, Why don't you crank up the "Melt-Off" challenge. I had set a goal of 300 by Memorial day. I am only 8 lbs away from that with 4 weeks to get there. I think I will need a little longer challenge than Mem. Day. Congrats to all the Nymphs!!!

I knew It was going to be close... I did not think it would come down to the EXACT pound though! I am 8 pounds away from breaking the 100 pound mark!!!!!!! Good job NYMPHS!!! I love it when we all feel like we are making progress. Even if you just lost a few pounds on this challenge, don't feel bad. Just remember how hard it was to lose those few pounds before the band!

Well, I had my first PB today. I decided to get a salad today for lunch. I have been having GREAT luck with salads. I chose one that had plenty of Protein. Ham, turkey, boiled egg, and cheese. All was going great, just like always untill I decided to eat the egg. I had only eaten about 7 bites of my salad. (yes, I ate some protein first) The egg hit my gut like a TON of bricks. Mind you this is at lunch and today was only my 3rd day of work at my new job! I was sitting in my truck in the parking lot. I did not have a drink with me because We are not supposed to be drinking right?? I knew things were bad when I started sliming. I packed up my lunch and started heading back to the office. I had to walk by the pick nick table (with occupants) and started to heave just passed them. Thank goodness I was behind a bank of trees. Made it up the stairs and up to my office bathroom. I was sliming all the way. A mouth full of slime is no fun and makes things worse! I felt "the" feeling and stepped into a stall. One good heave and it was all over as quick as it began. I was worried about prolapse. (of coarse) I had some sunflower seeds and a cup of coffee to make sure I could get something down. I had no problem. I hope I never do that again!

Oh... believe me, your body is VERY efficient at "elimination". Once it hurls, it is not going to stop and get hung up. I do have to say... it was a very small heave. I guess it doesn't take much to empty the golf ball! The good news??? I knew you were going to ask! I now know for certain that I am chewing my food well!:wub:

wooohoooo NYMPHS that is a running total of 950 lbs!!!!!!!
