Me too, I sometimes wish I could take the band out just for a moment to shove some food in my face like before. How sick is that!! I do miss that feeling of "ahhh" as half a plate of food is going down my throat:wacko: . I am one sick puppy:dog: I tell ya. The funny thing is that when I'm on track,I'm REALLY on track. No in-betweens for me!

I was watching TV last night and for the first time saw a commercial for Lap-Band. Has anyone else in Canada seen one? About Fricken Time, eh?:canada:

Sandee, I heard this saying once, and it works for everything. "If you keep doing what your doing, you'll keep getting what your getting". It's a good phrase to work with. I'm not trying to tell you to do anything. Only you know weather you've exhausted all means. This is your personal journey, Dig Deep. Food for thought:hungry: , .

Woo Hoo Maria, you go girl!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

oh jade, I feel terrible. I don't even know what to tell you. I can't imagine how frustrating this must be. Maybe take a day to get angry and upset, then first thing monday morning get on the phone and call your doc, the surgeon, any specialist, inlist everyone to get to the bottom of this. It can't NOT happen, but how frustrating is this!!

I absolutely love her too!!:music:

Good morning Kim. Yes small portions forever, but hunger no more. It's easy to only eat a small amount when your already full. Yes, you can fly and go on vacations, but one problem - you can't wear a seatbelt extender on the plane, and you have to buy a smaller bathing suit, sorry. . About the complications, I read that thread over before my surgery too. I wanted to make an informed decision. It's good stuff to know, but don't keep going there or you'll freak yourself out. Remember that any complication at all, and we come here for support. Not everyone posts all the good stuff. Also, complications are minimal, and most of us will never experience most complications. Just little things we can get over or none at all. Hope that helps. Talk to you later!!

Hi Kat, I guess what why was trying to say, as to your post as well, is that parents now-a-days have so much to do, and now we have to entertain our kids too? I know I'm walking on thin ice here, and not to offend anyone, really, every parent does what they think is best, and thank god we have parents who give a ----. But, now-a-days it just seems that kids are entertained from the moment there born, electronic mobiles, rattles etc...It is sad that kids can't SAFELY go outside and play now alone. Somehow we have to take back our neighbourhoods, put pedophiles in jail FOREVER, and allow our children to use there free spirit and imaginations again...................................WHEW, that was way to heavy for a Saturday. Anyway, thank-you to ALL parents who take the time to love there children so our world can be a better place.

Ha Ha poor guy. I have one of those "eat chocolate, drink beer, mowe down half a cow, seconds on dessert, skinny, never gained an ounce in his life" rotten @astards. Good thing I love him so much or I'd havta kill him!!

lol...you know me mandi, my computer skills are minimal, so I wouldn't even go look for it. I'm sure theres an easy way, but I don't know it. By the way, my husband is a fast eater too. It worked well before I was banded, but not now. It takes me so long to eat a plate of food, he ends up just watching me eat..lol. So now he's working on slowing down too.....it's all good!!

Good morning kim, and welcome. Did you post this message somewhere else? Cause unless I'm losing it(which could be true) I responded to it. I think it must have been under another thread, but I'm not sure. But welcome!!! Look forward to hearing from you. Congratulations!!
-
I know what you mean. I'm not a huge cereal eater, but every now and then.....mmmmmmmm:hungry: ...better then se (oops, better not make every thread obscene)

Hi Kim Welcome, and you should be very excited!! And you should have tons of questions!! LOL We all had lots of questions. You won't know the size of your band until after surgery, even your surgeon wont know until he see's during surgery. Don't worry about cc's until after, it's just the amount of Fluid they will fill your band with. some people don't even need one(very few). You won't stand out while your eating in the future, the only thing people will notice is that your taking your time, and that is healthy. We were all scared and excited about surgery, that is normal. We are all here to support each other, lean on us when you need. Congratulations!! August 10th isn't too far away!! Please keep us posted!!!

Anyone heard or seen from Buffie lately?
-
Way to go Jude!! Your gonna do great!!
-
Hi Buffie, I think you'll find that after your fill you'll be okay. I was eating like crazy too before my fill. I actually gained about 6 pounds, but it fell off quick after the fill. Good Luck!!
-
You guys are all so great! Thanks for the support, I feel real good today.

It's hard to stick to any good routine while you life is up in the air. You've been under stress for a while with the move and all. Once you get settled in you'll be able to buckle down and take control again. If I had an excuse to eat at Mc & BK I would too.

:clap2: Come on Jude, you can do it!:clap2: :love: Hang in there!:love: Don't give up!:hug: :banana :cheer2: :huggie:Were behind you! :eek:
-
Jude - it's so good to hear from you, I'm sorry it's not working out the way you would like. Hang in there!!! Really it can only get better, right? Listen to Marie and Dr. Cobourn and it will happen. The band isn't gonna fall out, if this fill dosent work, you'll get another, and so on...were all here to cheer you on.:cheer2: Hey "Just Paul" - You keep following me with that 12" Italian Sub, how's a girl to get under 300 that way!!........just kidding, really.... Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks to Buffie, NJChick, Leila, Mandi and all others...anyday now I hope.

I may be coming completely out of left field, and your all gonna probably hate me after my comment. I also have 3 kids, now they are 17, 15, 13. I also live in the country and I realize that makes a difference, but I really think that we over entertain our children. Our parents never spent the amount of time we feel obligated too. I don't ignore my kids, but I always told them thats why I gave them siblings...someone to play with. Anyway, sounds like you've done alot of great things so far :clap2: I applaude you, maybe you should sit back and enjoy your summer with a magazine and a beer. As I'm typing this I do remember that when they were smaller they are more needy of our time, but cut yourself some slack, you sound like a great mother!!!!! Okay, I'm covering my head if you want to throw bricks at me:faint2:
-
DAMN RIGHT!!! Its been 5 years since I've been under 300. The only problem is if I weigh 299.9, than I can only celebrate with less than .1 in weight of beer or I'll be over again...LOL:p

WOW, I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Close...300.4 - 300.8:nervous
