no weight loss this week, so I didn'y post on Friday... WTG for everyone who is losing

WTG Long, congrats. :scared2: I am at a stand still, no loss for a few weeks. more exercisae though, so will take that into consideration, they say muscle weights more than fat... I am finding weekends tough... No regular schedule, no food journalling. which is only my own fault. I hope to get back on track once I get new internet connection. Strange toblame things on internet connection, but with dial up, i get such slow response I just give up trying to get a connection. Off to the gym tonight and will weigh in tomorrow. Gee I hope there is some downward movement on the scale Have a great day everyone..

Weekends are so tough for me. Not being able to check in here and read how everyone is doing and so many things going on.. I NEED to get back on track. another week of no weight loss. I do have restriction, but eat past it at times and then pay the consequences. but will try to keep positive. Heading to the gym tonight, work off a bit of my snacking from the weekend. My daughter moves out this coming weekend. so my place will be mine again. don't get me wrong I love her dearly and my grandson, but I do want my house back... Great to see how well everyone is doing. Fenton, Central Park at night... not sure I would do that.. Happy Monday to all!

I find that my therpist is my "best" friend. She is impartial and knows me so very well. She is learning all about the band with me and is so impressed with my success. She is a great supportes and a great listener. Also, a god send as a stress reliver. Hope you fins the success you need with your sessions. Whether is be someone to learn coping skills, talk or just get all those things out that you feel no one else would want to listen about. Good Luck

The holidays always seem to be a challenge for anyone. and we are, of course, no exception. Just think of it this way. Last year at this time that 5 # or so may have been 10-15#.. So it is a positive thing that it is only 5# or so. We all have the attitude that it can be corrected and we will continue on our journey.. Keep up the good work everyone.. only 3 more days until weigh-in Friday

Sorry to hear about your mom, All the best to you and your family, prayers for all of you

As we all begin the new year, we can only look forward to better helath and better times of enjoyment. I know we have all seen a change in our appearance, and how our clothes fit, and most importantly our health. Always those ups and downs to get through. This site is a life saver for me, so much support and feed back.

I hate weekends, I had no access to LBT and boy did I miss it. My computer at home is tempermental and dial up connection sucks. But on a better note I LOST. just posted my weight on the other site. down another 2.7 # YIPPEE..... I see everyone is dealing with so many issues. Just keep a positive attitude. difficult at times, but so much an important part for our success. Happt Monday..

CONGRATULATIONS to all on the great weight losses, and all the losses we have ahead of us.

another sliming event at lunch today. All I ate was a small crabcake..:sneaky: Gonna take it easy tonight with soft and liquid.. Cold weather is setting in here in Delaware, wind chill near zero, which I know for some is considered warm, but not here!!! Ineed a warm body to snuggle up with, but he is sick..and will not let me administer any TLC, he does not want me to get sick.. so considerate! The loss my insulation with my weight has made a drastic difference in my internal thermostat.. but definitely not complaining. Protein hot chocolate is a great nighttime drink to help me relax and sleep..

I have been divorced since 1998, and am glad I made the choice. I have had my stryuggles, emotionally, financialyy and such over the past years.. but over all the best choice I could have made. There have been many dates and some relationships over the past 10 years, but always something to derail them.. Taking the current relationship slow, and seeing how it all plays out.. UGH. weigh in in a few days!!! not sure any wait loss again this week, but Fiday will tell the truth.

Tess - thanks for the relationship encouragement. I always say if something does not work out the other person doesn't know what he is missing LOL So fat I am enjoying my new found friend. We talk alot, share alot of common interests and just have a great time together. What more can I ask for. Take it day by day. Thank you to all about the thought of the passing of my dog. The other one at home is so lonely, whiining and wimpering so much. Extra attention and treats for him!!!

post surgery diet is so different for each surgeon. even in my office the 3 have different views. I had 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks puree, 2 weeks mushie and then regular food. After any issues, pbing, sliming, I will do a day or 2 of liquid to give the site a rest from the irritation..

Life goes on. Relationships are hard. I am so hesitant to begin any relationships, because of my "naked" body. Terrible thing to think of up front, but I am so self-conscious about the sags..Am I being petty.. And I hate to bring up the surgery, weight loss issue in a beginning relationship.. So now that I am in a new ralationsship, lots to deal with. Stalled in my weight loss, no gain either, so that is good. Going to the gym.. I gave myself a pass last week.. I was dealing with a sick dog, who unfortunately we had to put her to sleep on Sqaturday. Now my other little guy is whining and going around the house looking for his pal.. congratulations to all on the weight loss. tonight is a support meeting for post op, even though I am almost 10 months post op, think I need a bit of a boost..

My dog went peacefully on saturday, Went to the Vet and comforted her as she passed.. Now my friend has to put his dear 14 year old golden retriever sown today. WE talked a long time last night, since I had just had to do thesame thing. We just say to ourselves that they are in a better place and able to frolic with all their friends no weight loss again last week.. but no gain so happy wil that..

no loss for me at my weigh in this past friday, so no update

I think I am going to try to get to the meeting tomorrow nifght. 6pm works good for me.. So hope to see some familiar faces there

Stress, more to go have decided it is time to put our 10 year old cocker to sleep. Glaucoma and lots of pain for her. I hate this.. a member of the family for close to 10 years

I feel so bad. Was heading to the gym last night and then turned to go home. I am soooo tired. Too much on my mind, playing tricks with my band. STRESS!!!! PBed Monday night and still feeling the effects.. everything feels like lead in my pouch and I am sticking with soft foods and liquid.. Tonight is bowling, so will get in some exercise. then to the gym tomorrow and Saturday

Still having discomfort after a pbing incident Monday night!! Have been doing liquids and soft foods since. Everything just sits like a lead weight in my pouch!!

meeting with Dr. Wynn next Tuesday, is it at 6 or 6:30pm is there a topic for the meeting?

Friday is getting nearer, ouch, not sure how I am doing. ?since last fill, 12/30.. I have had few issues with sliming. lots of burping!!! Hope to lose something... WTG everyone for keeping in line over the holidays and getting back to things in the new year.

Fiber Choice with calcium and prunes, really do the trick for me, but we are all different.. Sad note, my 10 year old cocker spanial, Cobi, is suffering with pain and glaucoma. WE have her on pain meds and eye drops. Just waiting to see if that helps at all. Sleepless night and stress, makes the band tighten and cause issues..

not much weight loss lately, but have increased my exercise, so maybe it is muscle weight!!
