Well the thing is it is not the hot guys or the little girls that say things. They are actualy very nice to me. It is the old men and little old ladies they want to tell me what to do. Crazy. The Super HOT guys their are actualy very nice and a bit protective over me. I think it is super funny. A group of teenage boys came in after school to lift weights and I think they were talking about me. But the next thing I knew the big guys surrounded them and was having a small "talk" with them about manners and how to treat a lady. No mater what you think she looks like. I was so moved I almost cried. Then they made the boys apologise to me one by one. I was very touched that people I dont really know would stick up for me like that. But I was told later that they consider me an honerary sister. Because I am in there as much if not more then they are. I get looked after. These guys also help me when I think I am lifting wrong they are there to help me do it right. Or encourage me to try a new machiene. I wouldnt give up going to the gym for anything. PLUS I get to hang out with the super HOT guys.

You go girl! You can do it. ME...I am working out like mad and not dropping any weight. Grrr I go for my 3rd fill tomorrow. I sure hope this one help my will power. I am having a hard time not eatting the whole cow. I am hungry. and want food. any my nutritionist is big on NOT counting calories/fat/carbs she just wants us to make healthy food choices. So I am trying. but getting discuraged. I sure hope this fill works.

I have been getting mine once a month. But I am like you and was banded in December. I think in a few months we will be dropping back to once ever 2 months. My dr is very agressive on fills. So I am hoping to hit my sweet spot soon. My 3rd fill in tomorrow. and because next week lunches are provided by the company. I have a feeling this fill will make me nice and tight.

JC I take B12 under the tounge daily. It is not so bad and I can definitly tell the difference when I take it vs when I forget. I HIGHLY recomend it to everyone. It is something most people dont have enough of in their body. It is very benificial especially after any surgery for healing. I would definitly try the drops under the tounge before getting the shots.

ok Personally I am tired of the people at the gym telling me what I can do to lose weight. UGG I am in the gym 5-6 days a week working out hard and lifting weights. And I am continually having random people comming up to me telling me what worked for their friend, sister, neighbor. It is really starting to piss me off. I want to just yell at them to shut up. I am working out and that is how I am going to do it. Along with my little Band Aid. Grrrr Thanks for letting me vent.

I have to say I LOVE the peperoni chips. It was an awsome idea. Great way to add a little flavor to my cotttage cheese or even great crumbled on a salid

I am staying on the plan today because I dont like feeling stuck or PBing. AND I feel better when I make time to work out.

Well I work out on the Elliptical. and as you can see I am bigger then you. So it is not size. When I started on the Elliptical March 1st I only could do 6 minutes. The next time I did 8. I just kept increasing minutes. Yesterday I did 36 minutes. It felt so good to be able to do it. But I had to start off small and work up to it.

i AM STAYING ON THE PLAN! I want to start dropping weight again. But I am staying on the plan because I like the Elliptical 36 minutes woo hoo! I like it when I can do thing everyone else takes for granted.

OK ALL! If you PB you need to go on liquids for a little while. Your throat and area arround the band gets swolen from "throwing up" And you will keep throwing up because things cant get down when it is swolen. First go on liquids then when you get to solids make sure you eat slow and chew well. I have not had restriction...but somehow PB'd on a chicken nugget. weird

i AM UP TO 26 MINUTES ON THE ELLIPTICAL! WOW I really sweat up a storm in 26 minutes. I increase my time every time I get on it.

Your just not seeing yourself correctly yet. You need to step outside yourself and see you like we see you. And We think your awsome! And I am looking to you for guidence on how to get myself there.

lol sorry....but you look HOT already. Your going to be georgous once you get the curve.

Well the more you go the more he puts in. the closer you are to the sweet spot. I really hope I get that restriction soon. I am tired of doing it on my own

lol swell lol you got me rollin this morning Thanks I needed that. I am glad you doing ok. you will get your waist back just be patient.

hoosier, It is suposed to be in the 60's on friday. I am gonna go to the park. Hopefuly their wont bee too much standing water. lol even the ducks are running for cover.

OOOH I love google. lol My bike is so pretty! it is all clean and they put the great seat on it. I am going to take it for a test ride this weekend. lol

Thanks Stephanie, I do need a kick in the butt sometimes. I havent gotten on the scale in a week. now I dont know if I want to get on it again. but I am trying to get my Water in. and keep going to the gym. So If I keep doing that I feel I am bettering myself. Thanks.

I got back one of my 2 bikes last night. and It is so pretty and clean. The super nice guy even helped me adjust the seat height and handle bar height...I didnt know you could adjust the handle bars...lol I am all ready for my first trip down the road...once it stops raining. My other bike had to have new gears. So he still has that one. Maybe I can get it on friday and go for a ride from there. lol

I also count my pre op weight loss. OK I havent droped pounds in like 7 weeks...BUT I am wearing a bra that didnt fit before. I had been wearing a 44E for a LONG time and the company stoped making E's and I love LOVE that bra. So I have worn the crap out of it. and this morning I grabbed a bra and put it on and It was a little tight, compared to the 44E. So I looked at it...it is a 42DD woo hoo *happy dance* I have more bra's I can wear. It is tight but not horibly so. and I have had it on for 2 hours now and dont have the boob muffin top so that is totaly awsome to me. Sorry just had to share.

I take the B-12 to help me FROM losing hair. and to help with energy. So I dont think it is that I do think it is just part of the surgery process. When your body goes thru stress it does these things.

OH! I hope you get better soon! Can you do any Water excercise? That is easier on the joints. It does make me feel a little more normal knowing others are going thru the same thing as myself. I do find myself getting a little pissy at those people who lose weight quick. Sorry. But it is just in my nature. lol I figure if I stick with what I am doing it has to come off. Right? MAN I hope so.

I AM STAYING ON THE PLAN TODAY! thats it I am just staying on the damn plan. lol

I took both of my bikes to the bike shop this weekend and they told me I should be ok. He did look a little nervous about the smaller tier one. But he didnt tell me no. SO I think I will be starting out on the mountain bike. for a little while at least. lol He is fixing the breaks, tires and is putting a HUGE gel seat on it. So I think it will be ok for me to ride arround. The grocery is only 2 miles from my house and pretty flat area to ride. There are also lots of stores and stuff in that area so I am trying to see if I can ride there. Maybe even save on gas. lol
