My timeline is here... Life With A Lap Band | this life of mine I am Tricare Prime South.

Everyone is doing so awesome! Also, thanks for all the congrats last week on ONEderland! This week I am down 3.4 more pounds....0.6 more pounds and I will be halfway!!

I'm up to... 33 pounds = a cinder block 1 pound = a Guinea Pig 1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts

That's true, I just don't really think about it as my blog since I only update that page once a week, on Monday's (or unless I see the doc):biggrin:

Mine is not *only* weight loss related... this life of mine Life With A Lap Band | this life of mine

This is what I told my daughter...I guess though, after figuring out how to tell my daughter about my cancer diagnosis earlier this year, the lapband didn't phase me at all. She's 6 BTW.

I have one but it is my life, not just weight loss this life of mine My lapband specific page is here Life With A Lap Band | this life of mine

B - about 3/4 of a 1 egg/1 egg white scramble with cheese and 2 turkey sausage links L - nada S - 100 cal Cheddar Chex pack D - 1 roasted wiener, 2tbs baked beans, 3tbs potato salad, 1/2 Jim N Nicks cheese biscuit, 1 tomato slice, 1 dill pickle slice, 1 s'more (we had a staff party out on a ranch)

Well, I think when you are able to excercise, that will help a lot. Do you track your foods? Are you eating Protein first, then veggies, then if you have room carbs? Are you eating slider foods? You may be doing things right, some people are just slower losers but if not, the things above can really affect the loss.

Well then, I guess I ruined my child:crying:. I have no issues with nursing, I wanted to but physically did not produce enough milk. That being said, my child is rarely ever sick (not even once a year) and is intellectually gifted. So, should I feel bad about not nursing?!

Welcome! A lot of the time, reflux is caused by the band being too tight...sometimes, even the smallest unfill (like .1 or .2) can help.

Thanks GG! I finished week 4 day 2 today and it was rough yet day 1 wasn't?! I guess that is what 3 days off and way too much ice cream will do to you (my dh left for 2 months yesterday). Thanks Kathy! Luckily, I have about 2 *extra* weeks to play with between the C25K and my actual 5K...I may end up on week 5 for a bit. WTG GG!!

I just updated mine and yet it is wrong here again...

I am bipolar (type II with rapid cycling to be exact:-) and was banded almost 3 months ago now. BTW...I LOVE Nightmare Before Christmas.

When you get it all sorted, please add me... ThatDEGirl

Honestly if I was you, I would seek out some counseling and lean here for support as well. Being a food addict is like any other addiction, there is no magic pill (or band in our case) to stop it.

I take a slice and spread a little reduced fat cream cheese in it and roll it up.

I like mine but find I rarely use it...I'm just not motivated at home, I need the gym atmosphere. I am tempted to get Jillian Michaels game that is coming out soon...she kicks butt.

I just want to say thank you, being a leukemia patient myself. I was diagnosed with CLL in February and so far have needed no treatments. I am doing the treadmill right now, it is still just plain to hot and humid here to be outside. I am looking forward to moving outside though, so maybe the scenery will make the time go faster. I walk at 3.5mph and run at 4.5mph currently. I've been lurking here for a bit...I am currently on week 4 day 2 (will be Thursday) with a goal of running our Feet to Faith 5K on December 13th. Was anyone else petrified about week 5? Any tips?

I shared this on another thread, but just had to share here. Monday's are my official weigh in day and I am officially in onderland!!! I haven't seen this weight in 7 years!!

I finally hit onderland this morning!! I am officially down 32.2 pounds now at 2.5 months post-op.
