Wow I am going to have to relearn how to tie my shoes. lol I always figured if they were tight that was good. lol I have swelling issues so I can Always see EVERY impression on my feet lol. I think I need to be refitted for shoes...I am just so damn cheep I dont like spending the money for stuff. lol

Yeah....That is how I have been feeling. It SUCKS! I cant wait till the 27th for my next fill. I was hoping for my birthday I would of lost a bunch. but nope! And I doubt that by sunday I would be that much different.

WOW THAT IS A LOT. Hope it works great for you. I am cheep I cant pay all that

The hardest thing for me is not drinking when eatting out. And when I am home I know I dont drink enough Water.

Thanks I am taking my bikes into the bike shop this weekend to ask them and get a tune up on them. I asked in the biking forum but they mostly just chit chat in there and not about biking. it is really frustrating. I was trying to ask biking questions in the biking forum and all you get is flirting and idle chit chat. GRRRRR ok thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I want to go biking and am willing to buy a bigger seat and stuff but I dont want the tires to pop because I am too big. I think it would be great to be able to bike to the store and stuff.

wow I am at 1.5 miles in 20 minutes. whew. It is hard but I did it and I felt great about it.

I am so thirsty after eatting it is hard not to drink for the hour. But I have a timer at my desk that I use for after lunch. then I chug water trying to get it all in. ugg

OK K@t I have issues with suport in the boob area. and if I get it tight in the boob area to support then It dosent come down long enough. 2 years ago I bought a very pretty swim dress. RED. And I detached the underwear part and sewed in elastic. so I could have the comfort of a 2 piece. then I shortened the straps so my boobs wouldnt fall out and then the only other thing I did was tighten uo the elastic under the boobs. I added a piece of elastic to the the back so the boob elastic went all the way arround the body. It seems like a lot but I wanted 2 pieces and plenty of coverage. If all you want is the support then just alter the straps. You can do it by hand as if you were pinning the straps tight. then just take normal thread and sew it together. I dont even cut the straps half the time I just lap them. It is a super easy way to make a super cute suit work for you. and not show your ta ta's off to the world.:cursing: You can IM me if you want help

a BUILT IN UNDERWIRE! I wonder how large the cup size comes. lol I prefer underwire but have a hard time finding one in DDD:confused2:

I am staying on the plan because every day it gets easier to do the elliptical.

The first time My Dr used a needle that was BARLEY long enough. so when I sat up he had to hold it deep in place. I kept having a picture of it flying out across the room. Really hard not to laugh.

LOL I can relate to the belly button too. I am sure the temp thing will regulate itself. Your body just needs to get used to the smaller you. Your doing awsome by the way

I too started slow. Slow pace on the tread mil I think my first time was maybe 10 minutes. then I increased speed and time just by a little. I am doing the same thing now on the elliptical. But if I miss a day I feel bad about it. But If you like video games play Dance Dance Revolution Dancing...take a dance class Go to the mall and windo shop Fly a kite. ride a bike so swimming Just go do something. Heck some of my friends are going to go roller skating.

I get my fills under fluro. So no missing. They have this awsome new machiene in the hospital just for bariatric patients. it is wider and has a x-ray part that is further away from the table for bigger patients and my dr can put the needle in while I am under the x-ray. it is great. I feel very confidant in him and his whole staff. They are all very good about talking things thru. he had a medical student in the room when he did my last fluro. The student was great he was asking me if I could feel the port or if I had any weird pain. It was like he REALLY wanted to know about the Lap band. It was very inspiring. The hospital I go to is not a teaching facility but my Dr is the one for the area that teaches other doctors about the band and how to preform the surgery. It is great.

The nutritionist I go to told me to eat till I am full. and dont go hungry. Because that is when I get into trouble. And I have the 10cc band and I have had 2 fills and have 8.5cc in mine. and I can still eat more then I should be able to. I cant wait to get closer to my sweet spot.

I have a favorite suit. it is a 2 piece. Tankini type. The bottoms is the type that suck the stomach in and the top hang down low enough to not show any skin and I can tuck the top in to the bottoms when I go in the wave pool so the top dosent come over my head lol...happened once. But I love it. sucks everything in nicely and I buy extra bottoms because they wear out faster. only 15 dollars for the bottoms. so I have a few pair. I think I will buy some more in smaller sizes in anticipation. lol OH and the 2 pieces makes it easier to go to the bathroom lol

Sure, Gome out to the great waterpark with me. We have a blast noone thinks about how they look in a suit. We have too much fun for all that nonesence. :grouphug:

I miss swimming. The only pools arround here is the YMCA and it is so expensive to join for one person.

What do you like to do? Do you like video games? or music? or maybe books? what do you like to do in your spair time.

lol It is now taking longer for my feet to go numb. lol my sweat glands work over time when I am on it. lol so that is something

Heck with a 50 lb loss I think your doing great too. I want to go to disneyland too. Man I wish I lived out west...but then again...last time I was there 9 years ago I could just barley ride the rides...And I havent lost enought to be there yet.

I was told if I eat less then 1000 calories your body will stop losing weight. it will go into starvation mode. That is what I was told.

Thanks, Mine has been the same for about 6 weeks. I am getting quite frustrated by it. I know I have problems with Water retention. and people are saying my face is getting thinner. but I cant tell. and untill I drop another 20 lbs I am not posting a picture. The things I can tell is when I work out...I just feel better. Weird.

I am staying on the plan today because the Elliptical is awsome! And if I can stay on the plan I will get awsome too

Got to love a swim suit that looks good and is not expensive. woo hoo congrats on the lower size too. I have worn a suit every summer. I didnt care if I thought I looked fat or not. I figure if they didnt like it then dont look. lol OH and heck if they couldnt tell I was fat in normal clothes then they were just too stupid for me to deal with lol
