Yay...you will be fine and it will be worth it in the end! Congrats

That wrap sounded good. I had 2 TBSP of peanut butter...something I have not had in at least 7-8 months. It was good!

I had a kidney stone and then everything got REALLY tight. I went for a slight unfill, 2 weeks on prilosec and everything is MUCH better!!!

This is the exact reason that I don't go on OH anymore...

I was told by my doc that I could opt to be unfilled and if I started gaining they could fill me back up or you just learn to live with it where your at. I still have 20-25 more to go, so we will see...

Green~ I can totally relate to you!! I have been up and down the same 2 pounds for the past month. I was unfilled and can eat more, but not that much more...I go in on Thursday for another fill. THANK GOD! I am trying to hop back on as well...went to the gym and did cardio for 120 min, have been drinking, and even as we speak, I am drinking a Crystal light/protein shot combo. I think that my honeymoon phase is over and that I am going to have to bust tail to get these last 20 -25 pounds off. ***SIGH***

What is up with this site?!? I keep getting booted off and losing my posts!

Dee and Lap~ You girls so rock!! You are both such an inspiration!!! I can't wait to be there celebrating each and every victory with you as your pushing towards the 200's!!!

How much protein are you getting in? Or do you add some to your cottage cheese and yougurt?

WOW!!! Good for you lucky duck!!!

YAY!!! Congratulations!!!

I am a thrift store junkie!! I know that these are interim clothes and once I hit goal, then I will splurge and buy new clothes. I have got everything I need (minus undies) at the thrift store. Try a consignment store too! Good luck!!!

I was banded 12/12 and have already had 12 fills and 1 slight unfill...I have lost 70 pounds. The key for me has been the fills, AS SOON as I fill loose, I go in. Maybe ask the fill doc if he will fill you to tight, let you drink and unfill you until you feel the Water disappear. Just a thought! Good luck!! Brandy

Those of you who actively lift weights...what do you do to NOT bulk up? Less weight, more reps? More weigh, less reps? I have heard different views...I obviously want to tone but not gain any bulk. Thanks

MINI!!!! YAY!!! Doing the happy dance for you!!! :cheers2::party::thumbup::ohmy::Banane22::Banane11::woot::Banane53::Banane42::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::Banane40::Banane07::Banane28::Banane06::Banane27::Banane34::Banane45: {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Yay!!!!

Nicole~ Just a flat rate...they take care of the hospital fees and all that. It was wonderful!!! And a steal if you ask me...

Hi Nicole~ I am Brandy, I was banded by Dr. K on 12/12 and must say it is hands down, the best decision of my life (besides my kids)!! 1. Is it better to have your loan and everything ready to go before the consultation or should I wait? For me, I wanted everything in order...it just made the process faster. If you have everything lined up and decide to go with Dr. K, you can schedule surgery the day of your consult. 2. What happens after the consultation and how long do the next stages take? For me it was pretty fast, about 5 weeks from start to finish. 3. What tests does he require before he will consider you for surgery? I didn't have any tests for Dr. K, I did do a full physical and blood work up before. This was only for me though...I am glad that I did do it. I was able to lower my thyroid meds and my cholesterol is now well into the normal limits. Talk to your PCP they can let you know if you should/shouldn't do any pre-op tests. Congrats on this big step. It is a great journey!! Welcome to this board, it is the best one on here!!!

Dee~ I am happy you saw Mini...She is now one of us, girlies!!! YAY!!! Your next Deb, how did it go???

LAP~ I think that it is good that he pushed it back...now you will have plenty of time to discuss what needs to be discussed. I plan on losing 10 more pounds and then going in for my consult...it makes me more nervous than doing the band!! Let us know what they say!

FW You must be heart broken...I have come close to losing 2 of my kids. It is beyond the worst heartache that you can imagine. And I still have them here, yet I still think about "what if"... Sending you LOTS of hugs to you and your daughter both. Let your friend know that prayers are being said for her all the way in Brighton, CO!!

Bahot~ Yay you!! Lets go shopping...I am in a 10 now too!!! It so rocks!!! Yay us!!

We had so much fun last night!!! Mal~ I was so happy to get to meet you!!! I already love you!!! Model?!? That was sweet of you to say! Dee~ Hannah is in love with you! I think that you remind her of her Anny-Anny!! She said that she likes all of my new friends! Mini~ I am thinking of you!!! You will do great and you will look even better...Sending prayers and healing vibes that your recovery is like Mal's!!

I will come meet with you Deb!!! I love to get away...even if it is for a few hours! HA!

When are you traveling home Mini?

Oh, man!!! Tell him were all REALLY nice and we won't bite. Promise.
