Hi Neciee00! You have chosen a great Dr. If you have any questions or need any help, let me know. I had my surgery on November 9th of 05 with Dr. Spivak. Here's to a new life!!!

Oh Lisa!!! You sounded likeI did Monday! You will pull through! Don't you just hate how easy the pounds can creep on and how HARD it is to make them go away!!! I was down to 291~ then up to 296, I have been working and am back to 294~ but it is just killing me. I wish that no one except skinny bitches had to worry about weight!!!

Bread is the DEVIL for me!!! Certain things for certain people. Bread seems to clump up even in the smallest bites and doesn't want to work for me!

Are you eating just to eat, or are you eating because you are hungry?

Well said Donali!

I could eat almost a whole bag of Captain Crunch at one sitting... I used to do it all of the time! Haven't even tried that now, Thank God!

I have had almost the same thing happen to me without the blood. MY #1 rule is DO NOT DRINK anything to "help" it go down... that is probably why you started vomitting! That is what happened to me. Give your poor esophagus a break and sip, sip, sip on liquids for 24 hours. You have most likely really irritated your throat and you need to let it rest. Please do this and let us know how you are. Sip on some sugar free hot cocoa or hot tea. And drink some broth and Protein drinks for supper. I hope you feel better and I hope this never happens to you again!!!!

DeLarla!!! That sounds AWESOME!!! I am PROMISING you a prize when you get to your goal !!!! You make sure that you scream and shout it to us!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Crystal!!! Wow, you are doing just awesome with your weight loss!!!

Hi Dayna! What kind of problems are you having? There is a lot of help here.

seems to be working fine now.

I am so glad there is an oppurtunity for journals here. I was taking up thread space to report to myself.

I am a lot better today. I am taking it easy and not over doing it. Thanks for your concerns and support!

So weird... my computer here at work isn't working properly either!!

Way to go LadySplenda! Keep up the awesome work!!

I bought my walking shoes from Academy. They are New Balance Walking Shoes and very comfortable. I do not know the style number. Just be sure you get the ACTUAL walking shoes... I walked for 5 years in cute running shoes and couldn't figure out why I had shin splints so bad!

OK, I weighed this morning and I am back to 294.4, so I really won't to get to that 289 mark soon. Everyone is doing so good!

Diva, Click on the Go Advanced Button underneath the Quick Reply box. There are Smileys to the right and then you can click on more for some more of them.

I was banded on November 9, 05. Morning of surgery I weighed in at 329. As of today I weigh 294.4! I love it!

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great one and many more to come!

I woke up feeling crummy with a cold, but I will survive it. I am really proud of all of the exercising I did yesterday. I wanted to get on the treadmill, but I plugged it in and it was LOUD!!! I will have to use that for when baby is awake! Food: Breakfast: strawberry banana Fruit smoothie from Sonic~ 435 calories!!! (Yikes) I didn't drink it all, I got full after 2/3 of it, but I am still going to count that as the full calorie amount and I will stay away from it from now on!!! It is fat free and advertised as really healthy, has real fruit in it... but that is too many calories for a drink. Lunch: Atkins shake ~ ? Cal (will edit later) Supper: Rotisserie chicken from HEB and a salad? Exercise: ~I am going to do the treadmill while my baby is awake. As soon as the weather is better I will go outside and walk with her. ~4 flights of stairs ~Thigh Master ~Stomach Crunches ~Cardio Glide ~Floor Exercises I AM DOWN 1 POUND!!! SO I AM AT 294.4 THIS MORNING!!!!!

Bumping for some support from my fellow November Bandsters... I gained back 5 pounds this week! I know why and now I am really pushing myself to succeed!

Spiegel??? I am sorry you are having the problems... I really hope that isn't my Dr. doing that!!!

OK girls... just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only plus sized woman that couldn't use mine to breast feed.
