Chanda, where u working out at??? I have to say that working out has been where most of my motivation comes from. When I am not in any kind of exercise regime, I just go crazy. I eat anything, feel guilty and eat some more. When I am working out and sticking to a routine, I seem to do better with food. I go to ballys for couple of hours every other day now, and i hit the treadmill at home on the off days. After all that I feel super guilty after I burned all them calories so I make better food choices. I do come and look at the boards, especially the before and after photos... they are so inspiring!! I think that is why I started back working out two weeks ago. When I see people who were banded around the same time as me and they look awesome, I am so jealous. I know we can do it. We just need to step up our game. Your fill will hopefully jumpstart you....

Babygrl, did you eventually get an email to say it had been shipped or did you talk to someone? I ordered mine friday (the bodybugg and the display) and I just checked and its still pending. I tried calling yeaterday and they told me to log my question via the online contact us. I did and still havent heard anything.... I want my bodybugg

Sherry, Congrats on your purchase. I too havent really lost much this year, so hopefully with our new motivator, we can start kickin butt!!!

I dont think the slimmer one has come out just yet, but I hear its in the not too distant future. I just couldnt wait any longer though

Hi everyone!! I too am a slow loser. I have a net loss of only 20lbs since surgery last November. I have lost as much as 40, but that last 20 found its way back home. I know its my fault though. I dont follow the rules like I am suppose to and although I have some restriction, I could probably use another fill. I get so upset with myself cuz its not like I dont know what to do, I just need to do it -- gosh darn it-- Well I have been away from LBT for quite awile, but I am back. I want to really start over again. I have been exercisining and taking my protein drinks, now I am ATTEMPTING to start changing my food habits (wish me luck!!) Okay thanks for letting me vent

I have been reading how well everyone is doing with their bodybugg and wanted one too... So its on its way... yeahhh. Hopefully my numbers will look just as good!!!! :clap2::clap2:

Hi there to those that i dont know. I used to be on this thread for a while, but as life would have it, I got caught up in so many things. I was banded in Nov of last year, and unfortunately, I have only managed to lose/keep off 20lbs since surgery. I have been yo-yoing these about 15lbs for the last 9 months. I will admit that I hardly follow the band rules (thus why I am not losing) But there is always today, and I am starting to get back serious with trying to lose this weight for good. As do most of us, I know what I need to do to lose, its just either too hard or I am seriously lacking the will power (I have to say its more of number two than one anyways, to the newbies, please dont be discourage by journey. Just know that it takes LOTS OF WORK after you have been banded. This boards are so hopful, so read a lot, stick to it and do well.... I'd love a reunion/newbie get together... just name the place and time! :bounce:

Hello ladies! Wow, its beens some time. Hopefully everyone is well. I am doing great. Not losing like I hoped, but its okay... We should definately get together soon. Cya!

Hey Miss Connie! I was just thinking about you... I am very happy to hear you and the baby are doing well. I miss ya too. I will give you a call soon! Tell hubby Hi!

Maudeispam, is dry heaving what will happen from now on? I got sick on monday and my stomach was upset and kept going thru the motions of trying to thow up but nothing was coming out. This went on from the middle of the night till 6 hrs later. My doc office said that I should have been able to vomit, but I wasnt. I have great fears about this happening again. Anyone else have this problem???

PrazeDiva, I work for Federal Government and I have MDIPA. No problems getting approved as long as you have your doctor's notes from your 6mo consecutive medically supervised diet plan

I'll be there too, gift in tow.... please email me with the directions!! Cya band sista.

Hey there everyone! Congrats to everyone for on their successful surgeries. I have a question... I was banded 11/09 and have been eating mushies/regular foods, but it seems like everything i eat hurts.. I try to chew well, smaller bites and not over eat, but even after the first few bites, I feel like I am about to choke or that the food is stuck in the esophogas (spelling?) I know that is kinda how the band works, but I feel like i can't even get a minimal amount of food down without this feeling. I get bummed out over it. Since I have not had a fill yet, I thought I would not be experiencing this. I guess maybe its because I havent loosened up or maybe because I am still healing, but its just so uncomfortable :phanvan Anyone in the same boat?

Wish I had a confession for Thanksgiving... All I had was some lipton tea and some instant mashed potatos grrrrrr :bored

:clap2: :clap2: Congrats for both of u!!!! a wonderful NSV... I am still trying to get into 18's
