Yayyyyyy... restriction is good. And that pizza was soooooo good. :smile2: I think I'll eat the rest of it for dinner tonight (I ate my leftovers from Monday afternoon for lunch.... I'm up to Monday night's leftovers now :frown:) I'm not sure if you told me how much you wanted for this challenge. Sorry if you did, I am such an airhead right now. :thumbup:

First off.... Congrats on your banding. :thumbup: For the challenge, you would weigh yourself on Friday (the beginning of the challenge) then every Friday after that. Post how much you lost and I'll keep track. Just let me know how much you want to lose by the end of the challenge. julie

Hey all, If you are interested in a Christmas Challenge please let me know. So far, I know Gen wants to do it.

Hey Deb, It looks like it will be me, you and Teresa (Laptastic) . Where are you staying? That RR is fairly far for both of us.... is there somewhere closer to where you're staying you would like to go?? (If not, RR will be fine with us.) My cell is 734-395-0548 Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Hope you have a great flight.... and NO falling this time. :scared2: julie

Deb, I can come but I will be a bit late. I can't get there til 8:30ish or so. I am doing a lecture series at the Science Museum. It is called Mini Med School. This is our last week and they are speaking about cancer (I am very interested in this subject due to the issues with my MIL) So, I don't want to miss this. I am hoping others will be there, and sticking around for awhile. If not, you and I can catch a meal somewhere after my class if you'd like. julie

I'm so sorry about what you have been through. I just recently (in the last couple of years) have come to the conclusion that I was moslested by my grandfather at the same age (4 or so) So, I can, somewhat, relate to what you have been through. I know this doesn't help much... but be glad there is something you can do to make your life better. You are still young, and have a long and soon to be heathier) life ahead of you. Also... please, please, please seek counseling if you are not already in it. The band is a great tool, but it will not help with emotional issues. Please forgive me if I am saying what you already know. I am so happy your insurance came through for good. I wish you the best.

Well ladies, it is the day after Halloween. Hopefully no one hit the left over candy too hard :scared2: I was wondering if anyone would like to do a Christmas Challenge?? Christmas is 7 weeks from Friday (YIKES!!!!) I am happy to keep track (the original way...sorry the new experiment in record keeping did not work out well at all for the last challenge) If you want to do one we can do our first weight this coming Friday.

It sure is not!!!! :scared2:

Hmmmmmm... a chew toy. I might have to consider it :scared2:

Just curious.... Do any of you ladies that have good restriction somethimes have "hungry days" I have been hungry all day today. I eat and then I am hungry again soon. Wondering if it's PMS? (I really don't think that it is a band problem) This is kind of disconcerting for me, since I am rarely, if ever, hungry.... and especailly not like this.

Hopefully the next fill will be kinder to you, and you get more restriction.

Gen, 8.2 is great, especially with very little restriction. When are you coming in again??

Deb, I know that is what the plan was. Are you coming in on Tuesday for a fill on Wednesday or coming in on Wednesday?? Hoping to be able to see you when you are here, I have a class on Wednesday, but can make it to RR by 8:30 or so. I know last time we closed the joint :thumbup:

Hey all..... hope everyone enjoyed the nice weather here in CO today.

Thanks for asking I'm a real wimp. I'm in so much pain right now, heaven help me when it's time for plastic surgery I am a little pissed off at the hospital nurse. She told me "leave the wrapping on until you see the doctor in a week, he wants to take it off" it made me so miserable... couldn't find a semi comfortable position to sleep, it kept trying to fall down, so I was always tugging on it. not to mention it made me walk in a strange way and irritated the other leg muscles. Anyway..... I went last friday to the surgeon, and his nurse told me I could have taken it off after 3 days!!!! :thumbup: I know it will get better...it'll just take some time. I have been driving our F150 (the other choice is the MIL's Corolla) I decided to try driving the Corolla to a Moms Night Out on Saturday. When I got home and pulled into the garage I couldn't get out!!!! I just couldn't get the leg bent and lift it up to get it out of the car. I had to cll my husband on my cell to come out and lift my leg out of the car!!!!!! :w00t: Guess I'm back to the truck.

I was down 3.8 this week. Of course, this is 2 weeks worth, since my leg was wrapped like a mummy last week. But, I'll take it!!! I don't think I'm going to make my challenge goal, but every pound lost is to the good. http://tinyurl.com/ydl69nn

Hey ladies. Tomorrow is weigh in day, here is a reminder of the URL for those of you who are participating. http://tinyurl.com/ydl69nn I am so excited to weigh in. I got my leg wrappings off today, and I know I am down a pound or 4 :thumbdown: Good luck to all. Even if you are not participating in the challenge, I know I would love to know how everyone is doing.

The important thing is.... did you have a good vacation???

I'm so sorry about that. I didn't want anyone to feel left out of the challenge. I'm sure you saw I posted a copy of the doc. I can go ahead and add the amount lost to that one, if you'd like?? You do soooo well losing... it would be great to be able to post it for you :sad:
