hi everyone, well i went to the wlc and i lost 3 more lbs. i thought i should have lost more but, i did learn im doing it wrong. i though if i eat less like 2 meals a day i would loss more not. so i have to change how i am eating today: b-grits w/cheese, 2 sauage links l-1c of boneless ribs d-w/w lazina, 2 peanut butter cookies 50ozs of water ___________________ -372 calories elliptical

hi all well i went to the wlc today and im down another 3lbs. i guess im ok with it. as i thought i would have lost more. i did learn that me only eating 2 meal and no snacks is not good that i slows your weighloss down. so im gonna have to change that and do some thing else. we im proud of you all we are getting there. keep up the good work.

well im down 3 more lbs. and i didn't get a fill. and im ok with that as i didn't think i needed one at this moment. and good luck laurel i know you have lost. oh i did speak with the dietion as the dr said im not eating enough. so i guess i to am starting over but from solids. well good luck all and keep up the good work.

well i go to the dr tomorrow so i will post and let everyone know what happen.

hi all im here glad to hear everyone is doing so well. im doing ok still tryin to get use to the band. i have had some ups and some downs and just trying to hand in there. i will come to the next meeting. does anyone have an appointment this tuesday i do at 1 or 130pm.

hey you long time no hear from. im so glad to see you on here. well to answer the post i have lost 43lbs before surgery and 31.8 after. do i feel great hell yes. i do some times get discouraged becuz im working my tail off and feel that i sould have lost more. but, i think that i just me. in time i will get there. best of luck to you all. one question though tell me has anyone's dr said how many calories people are size should be eating. i eat about 900-1200 a day im fine when i eat 1200-1400 but, i feel tired if i do under 1050. but, im trying to loose it. so i dont know if that is the reason im lossing slow or what.

hi all i have been m.i.a for a minute alot has been going on in my life. well im here. 2day b-grits w/cheese, 2links l-w/watchers creamy chix entree, 1c apple sauce s-kiddy sunday d-2 taco's think i might need a fill or just eating out of depression. but, i think its a fill.

welcome teri glad to have you. glad to see you back on-line laurel i was gonna call you the other day. but, thought it would be a good ideal to let you get your rest as i knew you were returning to work soon. glad to hear your feeling better. rose im so sorry to hear about your job and mother-in law. that is so sweet that she has you to help her. we as for me i seem to be going up and down. i know im not eating as much as i should. just not hungry these days. well most of the days. and i seem to be not happy with the band as i feel i should be lossing more than i am. but, im gone give it time. i go to the dr on tuesday. so i will leave it up to them on what i should do.

hi all its been a long time since i posted as it has been alot going on my way. well i have lost 5lbs in the last wk and im happy about that. i m down to 2.2cc in my band and i think im need a small fill but, i think im just gonna wait and work with this amount i dont care if i lose slow as long as im losing. i have started walking in the am an the gym in the pm and it seems to be going ok. well i wish everyone well. and great job keep up the good work.

jwhipple i know how you feel as i am there right now just different issues. the most important think is to remember no one is promised to anyone for ever. it happens some times. its a chance that we take some times some times we need to find out that the grass is not greener on the other side. who's to say that in six monthes you will want to be with her still. i dont know how your wife feels but, i think she really needs to decide if she is going to take the meds or not as its not the kind of medication that you want to start and stop often. i dont know if she can deal with the ed or not but, i dont think that is the real issuse. give it some time. let her know that you love her and that you are going to give her some time to work on her and you on you. but, you will always be there for her. does it hurt hell yes. is it hard yes. as we find ourselves just wanting to be some where in there life. maybe ya can go to counseling but, i would say give it time as it sounds like she changes her mind alot. i have often heard if you love someone let them go an if they come back its meant to be. i have been with my mate for 15yrs and 2 kids later and i feel like i lost my left arm and leg. but, i love me more and deserve to be happy. and i have to stay strong for my kids. do i love him hell ya, do i want him yes. but, i have to remember what was making me unhappy an what the problems where and know that i we were not happy and that in the end it was only hurting the kids. do i keep a line of communication with im yes. an who knows in time maybe we can work it out but, it takes work on both parts. dint ever feel like like less of a man shit happens as all men will go through it. just as women will go through there change. no one ever said life was gonna be easy. now as for your daughter no you will not loose her. you first need to go to court or call child support and let them know your income has change and they will adjust it. and i dont know if you and your ex talk but, let her know that you have lost your job and that you have to have the support changed. and that once you are employed you will have it changed again. i hope things work out for you. it will work it self out in time. and always remember it gets better every day. you just gotta be strong. im praying for you china

hi all how is everyone doing me im hanging in there. well im posting an update. spoke with laurel today and she wanted me to let everyone know here band slipped but, was able to be fixed. and she wanted me to let everyone know that if any thing happens to any of us dont waste ya time going to the er to call your dr first as the hospital really doesnt know what to do. she is doing fine just tired and sore. so let send her our love and prays that she had a speedy recovery.:laugh: .

wecome candy glad to have you. an i totally agree about it not being a magic pill. i look at it like this it didn't take you a day or two to put it on its not gonna take that to got it off. and congradulation rose on the party. just get back in there and get the excerise in. and im so glad that the scale is moving for all of us. and laurel gotta get the water in some how. maybe everyday try and add an extra bottle in until you get to were you wanna be. im drinking about 50-64oz a day i to am trying that till i get to 80ozs.

hi ladies, well im glad everyone had a nice mothers day. mines was nice at first then went sour. my old man an i broke up after 15 years. and he moved out yesterday. im doing ok i guess. there's alittle funk there but, not really just angry at the situation. i went to the dr today for a check up and i lost 2lbs so im happy about that. well talk with ya later.

sorry to hear about your son laurel. alot of people are losing their jobs right now. i hope things get better soon. well yes i have unlimited texting on my phone plan. i gotta put your number on my phone rose. and that would be great to send words of encouragement to each other. happy mothers day all. mine was ok it could have been a little better. but, im not complaining.

thank you all for the posts. and for the promise to the group. laurel i sent you my number i think we should give each other our numbers and maybe talk once a week as we dont always get a chance to come here. and rose i love ya to i talk about ya all the time. i have a lapband buddy that lives here in buffalo she has been there with me through it all and i love her for that. we talk every day and work out. she is wonderful just like you guys. i dont have many real friends so i have alot of people that i thought was my friend but, they really are not. but, you guys are like my family. you are right rose my sisters. love ya china ps rose send you my number also.

hey thought i would share this story with you all. we yesterday this lady came into my store and was looking for an out fit for a party she was attending later that evening. she liked this one but, said she knew she couldn't fit in it. i said i would love to have your body honey. she said well let me let you in on a little secret 4 years ago i was bigger than you. she weighted 450lbs she had gastric bypass and 4yrs later she is a size 11/12 i hugged her and told her she looked great. and she didn't get any thing sucked afterwards. she told me to hand in there it will work its self out. i felt so good about that im planning on starting walking at the park in the am and the gym 4 days a wk in the evening. im not gonna lie to ya i fell off for a moment there. i forgot the main reason for me getting this surgery. to be there for my kids. how can i teach them right and wrong and i cant even do it. i dont want either of my kids to feel like i did and do becuse i run to food for comfort. thats a problem that i should have been dealt with alone time ago. its time to break the cycle for real. as it is not ok to just let your self go as i have an so many others. i wanna be around to see them graduate an much more. so on that note i will see you all at the finish line. and well will not be leaving anyone behind my promise to the group. so tell me ladies what is your promise to the group and yourself. hope everyone has a great week.
