Seppi how many fills did you have? I am sorry you have to go through the unfill and reflux. I don't think I've had any problems with my band. I've had 2 fills and right now I don't have much restriction so I made an appt yesterday for 6/28. I belong to TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) and MD Lap Band Support Group oh yeah and I go to a MD program on Monday nights called Take The Challenge (TTC). They give 1 hour of nutrition and health info and then 1 hour of exercise. I was walking 3 miles 6 days a week but I have slacked off but I am trying to get back there. The walking is key to losing the weight. Seppi have you clothes sizes changed? WOW Mandi I am in awwww of you clothing size change. WOW agin keep up the great work. I am impressed, jogging and enjoying the stairs, that is something that skinny people say. Ha ha ha ha How do you guys feel about your body now? Do you have lose skin? Are you going to have any surgery?

WOW today is one of those days...not in the negative but just one of those days....I guess I mean a good day. I feel like praising God. Thank you Lord....I guess it is kinda contagious. Like a smile is contagious, is someone smiles at you, you smile back most of the time. I just spoke to a friend who just kept giving God the Glory and saying he is here becuase God woke him up. I forget sometimes in a small way. I am so blessed, wow in so many ways. A freind called with some problems and I didn't want anything negative but God gave me the patience and words to encourage her yesterday. I am sorry she is going through what she is going through but it takes someone else's problems sometimes to see how blessed you are. The grass is not always greener on the other side but I am the type of person that wants to come over and help you water your grass so it can be as green as you want it to be. Patience is key in life. Love yourself. Thank you Lord for this day waking me up this morning giving me the ability, walk, talk, see, think NOT HURTING, NO PAIN for my aparment for my vehicle for food on my table for a job for my friends for my child with no problems or diseases for my family for lbt for my support groups for being my Lord and Savior for being a mercy for God for allowing me to help others Lord I pray that there is peace on this earth and allow every to come to know you in an intimate way Lord I thank for contiously blessing me everyday thank you for every breath thank you for every beat of my blessed enlarged heart Lord jesus you are an awesome God Thank You:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Puddinpie who's birthday was it and where is my brownie? Kee I hear you, I need weigh in also. I was thinking about calling my doctor to see if they got the extra weight for their scale and go down Waldorf to weight in and get my pressure checked.....that is pressed, even though we know no two scales weigh the same. Yesterday I had a boat load of ice cream but I walked 2 miles at TTC last night. I don't know in what order I will have it but I have salad (bag of lettuce and carrotts, crackers, grd turkey, shredded cheese and grapes.

Ok here we go.....:love: http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12616

I hope it is ok that I am in your journal. It is common to have these feelings but you have to weigh everything. You must be getting the surgery because you are overweight and you have some co morbidities. Life is short and we can die from anything weather it is today or tomorrow. What if you have the surgery and survive .....then you have to go on the roller coaster of the scale going up and down but mostly down if you torture yourself with eating healthier and exercising. Do you want to be healthier and happier? Only you can make that choice. Do a will, pray on it and find peace with yourself. You have a whole family of support on this board, just reach out for it.

Cheryl a little patience. Good job on your lost. You can drink a bottle of Water and weigh 5 pounds more then you did yesterday. LOL Let's start today and we will get there together....slowly. 10 ponds gone WOW I like the comparisons that other people use.....You have lost a 10 pounds bag of potatoes.....!!!!!!

Thank you I feel good about what I have accomplished so far with the help of my friends and support groups. I have a 13 year old and if I could stay home why would I want to......she's 13, she wants to be my mother. Momba - is like a surrogate mother. I guess because I am a nuturer and always giving someone advice they may not even want ......a few people in the MD LBT Support Group gave me that name. Amy huggggs, I'm sorry you had to go through so much but you are now on a road paved with lots of friends. Keep up the great work. Did anyone help Maya with her ticker?

Ok cheryl where is your ticker.....go get your ticker.....share!!!

It's getting closer......I am 13 pounds away from 375. I have 27 days and I need to kick it into high gear. I will go get some more salad this week and slimfast. I need to have a shake for Breakfast since my restriciton is less then perfect right now. I will also fix my famous pot of ground turkey Soup. I will go back to walking 3 miles a day as of today. Oh yeah and drink the heck out of some Water. PLANS IN THE MAKING JULY 8 From the picnic discussion, pedicures at Vee Nails Saturday by HI. I still don't know where I want to go. I want to go someplace comfortable, someplace where we can be a little rowdy, drinks, and preferably music for an early dinner that will probably last 3 or 4 hours.

Mago look at these numbers......78 pounds gone...that is how many 10 pound sacks of potatoes......almost 8. Can you carry 8 bags of potatoes. To reach your goal you have about 8 bags of potatoes to put down. How are you going to put the rest of the bags down........... Tell me where can I go to read about all of your NSV's because you are over 40 inches smaller....? Your bandiversary is coming up in a matter of about 2 months......can we make that a nice 95 pounds gone?

Cheryl it is too early for that.... you will have plenty of time to stress about weight loss later. Right now your body has to adjust to everything. Try counting your calories to be sure you are getting enough in, drink your 8 cups of Water a day or as much as you can and walk. I know you said you don't have time to exercise so walk in place while watching tv or doing the dishes, folding clothes or on the phone. 10 minutes at a time is good, do this as much as you can and your body will respond nicely. Also, don't just watch the scale, watch your clothes. Find something you can't get into or just wayyyyy to tight. Oh I love it when I put something on that didn't fit a few weeks before. Patience is key......you are on your way to goal.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Emileekaye you look just beautiful. Telly keep doing what you are doing.....you are motivating folks around here. sorry pnut I'm a thread crasher but this is the only way I get to see these pictures.....GFGC is doing GREATTTTTT (Tony Tiger)
