Ah...someone else who has read Angels & Demons!!! Far fetched but an interesting book....I haven't talked to many people who have read it.

Good morning everyone! I hope that you all had a great weekend!

Stacey - Way to go girl! I got a 14W on and zipped and a ladies 16 on and zipped yesterday...couldn't wear them, but like you, I got them on! Keep up the GREAT work! Julie - Way to go on the restriction! Your surgeon is going to be so proud when you show him that great weight loss! Keep up the good work!

Good morning everyone!!! Where is everybody? I miss you guys!

Welcome Scott! Glad you found us!!!! This is a great group, and a little silly at times! Best support you will find!!!! Good morning everyone! Hope your day is going well!

Ok, all this talk about purple and it made me want to change my signature! I put up a new avatar! At least I did something productive today...is this really productive?:eek: :faint:

Janet - to help the orange fade faster, try a loafa (sp?). It should help you to sluff off some of the dead skin and get rid of the streaks! I gave up on self tanners...I could NEVER get them on right! Good luck!

Donna - you go girl! You totally cracked me up with that one! Your purple coat looks fabulous! LOL!!!:nervous As for tanning, I have been doing it the old fashion way...easier since we have a pool. But, I have also been using Jergens glow something or another...they have it for your face and for your body...I feel pretty sticky after I put it on, but I use it just before bed. It is working really well! It has really enhanced the tan that I have started. Can't wait to keep working on it this weekend! I took Friday off of work (best friend coming in town) and I can't wait for a four day weekend! Sad it is only Tuesday and I am thinking that way!

WOW! You all are amazing! You touch me in so many ways and I am so thankful to have friends like you all. Tammy - You are in my prayers and my thoughts. Your struggles have made you who you are today and what will make you a success on this journey ahead. You are a truly amazing person! Janet and Mikey - As always, you continue to amaze and awe me! Mikey is so right on, yet kind, with his words and Janet is ever inspiring with her reminder that God does love me! How easy it is for me to forget and to fall back on "oh woo is me". At the end of the day I can be nothing but thankful and glowing in his love and glory! To everyone else, keep up the great work! We are all so alike and will all have stuggles to be supported through and victories to be celebrated by all. We are amazing just for making this life changing choice. We are still in the beginning stages of change and learning. We can and WILL succeed...together! Have a wonderful day!

What the heck...I'll join! It can't hurt! My goal was to be in onederland by my hubby's MBA graduation...as you can see from my pretty new ticker! But, if I could reach it before then, even better! Just got my second fill a week ago and man it is a good one! Good luck to everyone!!! I look forward to getting to know you all!

Thanks Janet! I need a pick me up today! So glad you are back and posting!!!!

Good morning everyone! It was a BAD weekend for me...Saturday night I PB'd THREE times! Twice at a resturant...oh, that stinks in more ways than one!!!! I am doing ok now and hoping to continue loosing this week. Work is crazy busy right now, thank goodness it is a short week (taking Friday off) and a short week next week! Please forgive my crummy post (since it was ALL about me) and I promise to be back and do better! Hang in there everyone, you are doing great!

Hi everybody! Was just wondering when, after surgery, you started to see any hair loss. I have noticed a lot more coming out the last few days. Could just be the time of year or it could be the surgery catching up to me! Just wondering! Thanks!

Good morning everyone! Tammy - Yeah, but at least we will be skinny! LOL! Just kidding! Nanster - Good to hear from you! Thanks for the update on your knee! Mom is doing some better. She is three weeks out now and is up and around with a cane. She should start regular physical therapy next week. She is getting better and better at doing her exercises and even rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes yesterday! I was so proud of her! She is also past the bitchy, complaining, I hate everything part....Talk about nice! Thanks again for the update...it is nice to hear reassuring words!!! Also, I think you may still be too tight. Are you eating tiny bites and eating slow? If you are, then you may need to go ahead with a little unfill. I worry about you! What you are going through doesn't sound too good. Keep us posted! How is everyone else doing? I hope well. The board has been so slow! Where is everyone? I know I have had a crappy week...I hope everyone elses is going better...check in and at least say hi! Have a good day!

Tammy - I think the hair loss should stop after a while. I posted about this on the main support page and they (2 people!) are saying that their hair comes back good. Thank goodness!

Good to know! Thanks for the replies. I think I should get back to taking my Biotin!!!

Question for those that were banded around the beginning of February....Has anyone started loosing any hair? I have noticed a lot more coming out the last few days. Could just be that time of month or could be the surgery catching up to me! Just wondering!

Tammy - I hope that your Mom feel better soon! The rest of your family (and you) are in my prayers. As for the fill...I don't know. Have you been loosing every week? 3 lbs. lost last week is GREAT! My dr. always tells me to wait two weeks to see how I feel. Sorry about the PB...they are so gross, but you are right the relief is instant! Like I said before, I have only had the one and I NEVER want to do that again! Hang in there sweety! You are doing great! Keep us posted!

Sunta - Great job! Way to go!!!

Febsters...where are you????? Hello? Anybody home? I miss you all!!!!!

Reporting in sarge! Worked out 6 times last week, got another fill and I am down 3 lbs.! :clap2: Happy Monday everyone!!!!

Good morning everyone! HELLO restriction! Thank goodness! Had my second fill on Friday...2 cc's total now. I love restriction! But, my band and I had our first fight on Friday evening. I can't believe I have gone 3 months without pb'ing! I had eaten about an 1/8 a cup of oatmeal for dinner and started to feel like I didn't want any more. Went to a friends house for drinks and WITHOUT thinking popped a couple of chips and some cheese into my mouth....WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!! That did not go well. Let me just say I am terrified of food now! I NEVER want to pb again! I felt like I had a hang over the rest of the evening and the whole next day. The good thing is that this fill has kicked my weight loss into gear...3 lbs. since Friday! YAHOO! 12.5 lbs. to onederland!!! How was everyone's weekend and Mother's Day? Can't wait to get caught up with everyone!

Tammy - Honey you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I understand this must be a difficult time, but don't beat yourself up. We all have to fight our old habits, whether we are happy or sad. It is who we are...and we love you. Remember we are always here for you!

Thanks so much! I just started walking about a mile and a half every night with my hubby! It is so much fun...we have the best talks and we both loose weight! Keep up the great work everybody!

Started moving my butt and look at that! Down 3 lbs. this week! Second fill is tomorrow! YAHOO!
