I suck with the keeping up with things. Dang it.
It's good to see you guys are all doing okay tskelli, I hope you get your family problems worked out.
I am moving to texas next thursday. I haven't seen Marcie for a month so I've been feeling really low.
I told Marcie that nothing that taste good is allowed in the house anymore cause I gotta get something working with this band.
I've taken up photography.
I love you guys. I promise to try to visit more often.

This was almost as if I wrote it myself (with the exception of having the forums before surgery) I too am a slow loser. I was fatter, I'm still fat and I have a ways to go as well and my surgeon is a great person but has told me he won't give me anymore fills and I'm not at my sweet spot at all. I never had the option of a nutritionist, it was just me my band and the world. This place provided me with a lot of very great support and information as a new bandster and I am thankful for LBT and the support and people.So I agree, thank you.
Thank you, and good luck with everything. The nutritionalist didn't tell me anything I didn't know already, and she really did make me feel like scum.
Nothing is perfect, but it's good to have a support system like lbt to come too. I'm guilty of only coming here during my low times, though. I should break that habit.

I am fat. I was fatter. I'm still fat. Even with this surgery and all my tears I might always be fat. I'm working on it.
My parents, society, and my Doctors pushed me into this surgery and I went into it kind of blind. My Doctor, well he didn't tell me anything but how easy this will be. My nutritionist talked to me like I was garbage so I never went back.
Everything constructive I have learned here, from helpful people. Any encouragement in my newbie period, well I got it here. Thank you for starting this website Alex. Otherwise I might have had to have another surgery to replace the damage I had done with my body not knowing anything like I did when I went into this. I only wish I had found it earlier before I had the surgery so I would have been prepared.
Moderators, thank you for trying to keep the cruelty to a minimum. I know it can be a thankless job.
I still need support. I'm a slow loser...if I lose at all and I really dont. I don't come here as much as I do but when I do I am usually feeling really low. Thank you Lapbandtalk for being here when I need you.

If he doesn't own the place, report him, if he does...
Couldn't you tell your husband he creeps you out or something? Maybe find your daughter a different place to take lessons?
Could you kick him in the balls?

Hi everyone :biggrin: I started ww a few days ago. My weigh in days are thursdays.
I'm glad that Irene told me about this thread. I've had really bad problems working with my band and maybe this will help.
Nice to meet you all
-
I miss Taps too! She's my buddy, and she is always so positive. I heart her.
This is my first week on ww. When is your weigh in day?
-
yep here I am. :thumbup:
How is everyones day going?
-
Hi Macro. Nice to have you.
-
I'm so glad you are feeling better marathinner, that sounds very tramatic! I missed you. I tend to dissapear too.
We can both try to fix that.

Actually started to join, didn't do much with it, but joined yesterday online.
I can't go to meetings, but I can keep track of it online.
<3 It was only 12 dollars a month online. I can do that.
Wanna be my weight loss buddy?
-
Okay, Okay. I'm starting over. AGAIN. We are moving to San antonio, I'm moving Oct 1st. I am exercising everyday for even if it is only five minutes, I am doing it.
I'm so sick of not losing weight. I haven't really lost any since the initial weight loss in the beginning.
So here I am. Starting over. Again.
So I have to find a fill Dr. in San antonio.
Maybe I will like this one better anyway.

Helloo. Marcie had her interview yesterday and it went really well, She's flying to san antonio on the 13th to give a thirty minute speech as her final interview.
So I think this is happening.
even visiting here I feel inspired, though I know this isn't the right time to try to get in any routine, but I have started paying attention to what I put in my mouth.
reading through this thread, I see I've missed alot, sorry about that.

You will get back on track Ezma. I missed you.
Hi, VV's. I missed you. I slipped away again. I have a LOT going on right now, except the scale. Whenever I slip away I always forget to follow the lap band rules, but here I am. I am still a different person than I was before lapband. More active, happier, I'm just not as thin as I thought I would be. I'll try to correct that with you guys now. Thanks for checking in on me. Sorry I was gone so long, taps.
It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm in school, I have been working my butt off, and have no free time. I try to do as much as possible on the internet, but summer classes have been really hard, but I just took my mid-terms and I am currently sporting a 4.0 for the semester.
Marcie has a huge interview Thursday, which will have her doubling her salary and both of us Moving to San Antonio, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
I bought a used treadmill, but as of yet have had almost no time to use it. That is both partly true, and partly a big fat excuse :tongue2:
I missed you all. I will try to get through the thread and catch what is going on, but you guys could always give me the highlights.

So I have to cover for another employee here so I'm coming in late and working until 8 pm.
The good thing is I had time to work out this morning.
When I got to work I emailed the owner of the elliptical that I wanted to purchase it, but she emailed me back and said she alreaady sold it....sooo gym it is.
Now I have to decide if I want to join the gym by my house. It's pretty pricey unless you want to sign a two year contract and I'm not sure I will be here in two years so now I dont know what to do. I do NOT want to sign a contract, I just want to work out, dang it!

LilMiss- You do whats right for you girl. If you feel like you need a change in your life and your job is negative, then I wish you nothing but good luck in finding one that fits your sparkling personality better.
Jaime- Did you use your elliptical often when you had it? I'm trying to decide between the elliptical or joining the 24 hour fitness by my house. IT's 24 a month. I have the wii fit at home, and I like it, but sometimes I just want to watch tv and work out. When I tried to do the elliptical at the gym it KILLED me, I couldn't even do five minutes, but I know it burns a lot more calories and you get a more complete workout than with the treadmill.
Tapshoes, it sounds like your fill is doing great things for you. I've been trying to pay attention to my own full signals. I cancelled my fill because I really think I don't need one, when I don't drink while I eat, I eat very little. I just have to NOT drink while I eat. I'm doing better, not perfect, but better.

My weigh day is thursday.
I am trying to get an elliptical. They have a combo elliptical/ exercise bike for 150 on craigslist. I think that would be awesome to have.

I lost three pounds this week :tt1:
-
Wantit- It is pretty rough. I wasn't expecting it, but it does remind me that the band works when I work it.
-
Jumping jacks are fun, but I can't do 50, more like 25.
shiny, I am very impressed with your dedication.
Tapshoes- I am glad it happened too, It was just such a surprise. Why would it happen now? Weird.

Jaime, I'm glad to hear that having your gallbladder removed has helped you. Gallbladders being removed is common for people who have lost a lot of weight so quickly. Take care of yourself.
This morning I had a band experience. I have always had a problem with restriction... I've just never felt it after the first month of surgery. Not really. Maybe a few days after my fills, but they never lasted.
This morning I made myself a nutri-grain waffle. I always toast them pretty hard because I like them crunchy.
Now as most of you know I have a problem with drinking while Im eating, but I have been working hard on stoping that. It's VERY against the rules and for good reasons...but I couldn't seem to stop.
I've been doing good for a few weeks, but honestly I can still eat whatever I want, but I make myself stop before I get too full.
As I was eating my waffle I got a pain in my chest like it was stuck there. It hurt pretty bad so I gave the rest to my dog and starting walking around. Then I started gagging and I ran to the bathroom. I suppose what happened is I "slimed" though I had NEVER done that before. EVER. It was disgusting. I did PB once or twice, but ew.
Anyway, turns out I do have a band in there. I thought it had melting away seven months ago.

It is really easy for me to keep up with my friends on a blog. I have one I update pretty regularly.
tarainthecage.blogspot.com Many people on LBT have blogs at blogger.
I enjoy it.
But I like the thread too, I will keep checking it thanks for sharing

My new resolution. only eating out once a month.
Thats doable. I can do it.

I had a lot of fun in New Orleans. I saw a long lost friend I haven't seen in years working at the Cafe Du Mondo.
I didn't diet, but I walked around five or six miles a day so I think it made up for it.
I still gained a pound, but I drug my gazelle out of the closet, all that walking felt really good so I am setting it up in front of the TV. I figure one movie = 1.5 hrs of exercise right? Thats good for me.
Oh and hello, my lovely lady VVs.

And where is Esme? Does anyone know if she is okay?
Separation of Church and State

Maybe the seperation of church and state got popular after the witch hunts?
Seperation of church and state protects christianity too, you know. What if the state decided that the religion we should all practice is muslim? Seperation of church and state protects your right to your religion and my right to get the hell away it.
