Been a few days since I have seen any posts here, hope everyone is doing well. I had my 1 year check up with my Doctor yesterday.. she is pleased with my progress. my only issue is with me!!! I am having trouble making the right choices in what I eat. I have great restriction, but just eating all the wrong things.. H-E-L-P

One year check up with my doctor was yesterday. She is pleased with my progress. I am just having issues with making the right choices in what I eat. I have great restriction, no need for another fill at this time. I just need to get my head back into the game..

Today is my bandaversary.. Hard to belive that at this time last year I was waiting for my surgeon to talk with me right before surgery. Still have a few more pounds to lose, but I am soooo happy to be where I am at. Welcome, andrew and great pics, before and after, also the car is classy..

Welcome, Andrew. Hope to see more of you here.

Helene - great that you are taking care of yourself, rest is key.. This site is great for letting ourselves "vent" our issues..ask questions and just enjoy the company. We all can say that it is nice to have others understand what our bodies and minds are going through!!

Elayne - sorry to hear about your separation. I am sure the added stress of thst decision is not easy. Always here for your "girl talk". I divorced after 21 years of marriage, and we shared the house for the first 6 months after the bdivorce and for the whole year before while separated.. economically the only way I could survive at the time, Now my ex and I are better as friends than we were as a married couple.

Helene - I so agree with everyone else. you need to take time to heal. It is tough to be assertive, when you know you are depended upon, but it is a neccesity for recovery. This is definitely a time to say ME FIRST!!!

I am glad to see I am not the only one struggling. Not that I am happy others are also struggling, but that I am not alone. no loss or gain in 3 months.. always back and forth with the same 2 or 3 pounds One year on Thursday this week. So glad to be where I am weight wise, but was hoping for a few more pounds these past months. I admit alot of it is my fault, poor choices.. but I am having issues getting back on track..maybe a wift kick in the pants by the DR on Friday.. Happy St. Patty's Day .... a few days early..

helene - so glad to see you are home and on the mend. Janet - if LapbandTalk.com is gone as of Sun. where do we connect to the new site.. did I miss that in the message you posted

loose and gain the same few pounds throughout the week. ending up with 0 lost

Hope and Carrie - thanks to both of you for sharing your journey.. I have ben having motivation issues. not wanting to exercise and even tough eating less, not eating the right things. We all have made great advances in our health and well being, and some with major struggles, others with a smooth journey. I know that getting a chance to read about everyone elses issues and then thinking about mine, I realize all of us have struggles and deal with them in many ways. BUT we are all healthier and happier than we were a year go At least I hope we are.

exercising has been tough for me lately, too. just can't get motivated. besides the cost of the gym, I have to let my membership lapse for now. Thank goodness it is getting nicer out and I can go walking outside.. Still battling the food issue, lose and gain the same 3-4 pounds repeatedly.. That I know is my biggest problem.. At almost a year since banding I am glad to where I am at, but know I need to go a bit further/ Also, having issues with my BP. no idea why..trying to get that issue resolved with my PCP..

no loss, no gain. but still happy

Talents - wow those seem to have waned as I get older. I was always an active sewer when my girls were little, making all the fancy clothes for holidays. Cross stitching, until carpal tunnel put a halt to that. Now....gee not much..i make wreaths as gifts for friends. the kind you may put on your front door.. Katy - keep thinking of you and keeping you in my thoughts

Joanne-quilts are beautiful, you are so talented

Katy - sounds like you have yourself well informed, and having the help of the DR support staff is great. You are in my prayers and I know all will come out ok. The "boob" story is great. I was also laughing.

Fenton - we missed your weigh in,,, do we have to send the CLAW after you??

Welcome, grandma

only about 4-5 inches of snow here in Delaware. But sure is cold.. Now the drive to work. Can't wait for round 2. Happy Bandaversary month to ALL!!

Welcome Smitty - congrats on your weight loss Definitely an issue if you lay down too soon after eating.. I find the "sliming" issues hits me if I don't think and try to recline. All in the timing of eating and relaxing I guess.

Audrey Hepburn was so classy and stylish - her words are so meaningful. thankd for sharing them "K"

Oreo - WTG congrats on 100# gone I am on a losing streak again. 2# last week and 2.5# this week.. now down to where I was a month ago..yippee... no more eating around my band.. it was deadly to weight loss.

Katy - sounds like your surgeon has given you all the facts and figures for your surgery. That has to be a good thing, being informed. Prayers and thoughts are with you
