Hi Gang. Hope everyone is well today. I'm soooo excited this morning. I lost another lb....2 more til ONDERLAND. Plus...yesterday my son and DIL surprised me with George Strait tickets June 6th at the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium. ( mothers day gift early ) Hope to get at least 15 lbs off by then, told son I was going to Cavenders and buy me some Cinch Jeans .... lol Have a great day! Joann...this morning I had 1 sausage link ( the little ones ) and 1 egg ( 4 hrs ago ) Getting hungry now, think I will go eat a Tangarine.

Another lb. loss this morning. 2 more to go til ONEDERLAND !! Everyone have a great day !

Thanks Joann. The Low Carb Slim Fast has 20 grams of Protein. I don't have one every morning. I leave the house at 7:30 for work, not allowed to eat at my desk, so I sometimes sip on one if I don't have time to eat Cereal or oatmeal. I should get up earlier to do some walking tape and make an egg and turkey bacon. Will try that. Smart Ones are so convenient to grab and run out the door. My lunch is at 11, take a break at 2:30 and usually have some 100 cal popcorn, Protein Bar, or yogurt. When I get home at 5 I'm very hungry. That is when my trouble begins.

Long, What is a tankini?:wink:

Congratulations Orea. I'm so happy for you. Wow !! Keep up the good work.

WooHoo...I lost the 2 lbs I had gained. Kept track of the calories and doing my walking tape. I hope to be in ONDERLAND next weekend, 3 more lbs. Hugs !! Pj

Janet, I lost the 2 lbs I had put on. Counting the calories and back to doing my walking tape. 3 more lbs and I will be in "ONDERLAND" I'm aiming for that by next weekend. I really envy you, going on that cruise. I've never been on one, but hopefully someday I will. I know you're excited !! Have you bought a new bathing suit yet? Well...going to go now and play pathwords, I saw yours on FaceBook, I played it last night and love it !! Have a great day ! Hugs, Pj

Thanks, I think my fill March 10th will put me where I need to be. I had lost 2 lbs last week, have put them back on this week....BAD FOOD CHOICES, AND NO EXERCISING. As of tomorrow I will keep my little notebook handy at all times and keep track of calories. Janet..we went to Joes Crab Shack last night and I tried some of DIL baked Talipia.... Didn't like it. Everyone have a good weekend.

I have a question for everyone that is at their Sweet spot. How many hrs are you satisfied after a meal? Today I had a Slim Fast at my desk for breakfast. My lunch is at 11, I had a Smart One frozen dinner. I was starving by 1:15. After what happened to me last Saturday I thought maybe I was at my Sweet Spot, but now I don't think so. I go for my 7th fill March 10th.

Wow...2 fills and you were at perfect restriction ! I've had 6 fills already. Dr said 1 or 2 more fills and I should be there.

I just found out this week how fickle the band could be. I had great restriction all weekend, now yesterday and today I've been so hungry !!! and it's not head hunger either. :smile:

WTG !!! Congratulations Long. I can't wait to join you, 4 more lbs for me. No, I'm not stressed about anything. I've had 6 fills already. Dr said my last fill or 1 more and I should be at the Green Zone. I"m going to stick to soft foods and drink my Low Carb Slim Fast. What could be causing the heart burn? Thanks for all of your advice. Will be taking small bites and little sips.

Good Morning everyone. I have a question for you. I had my last fill on Feb 5th. All of a sudden this past week I have been pretty tight. When I take small sips I feel a tightness in my chest. Also....I have been having heart burn which I haven't had since I was pregnant with my first son. This morning I made some sausage and scrambled egg, after 2 bites I have heart burn. Anyone have any suggestions on what this may be? Is is normal to get more restriction 14 days after a fill? Yesterday I went to a Stamping Party and I PB'd on nearly everything I put in my mouth. Once I pd's so bad that I felt so much pressure in my head. Seems to me like I may not need my next fill on March 10th. Have a great day !!

Wow Janet !! The picture of you in the skirt doesn't look like you. Love that new picture of you, you're so pretty. I can't wait to be thin like you are. I will be there this time next year for sure. Thanks again for all your help and advice. Hugs!! Pj

Katy, I will be praying for you.

I called my Dr's office this morning and asked about taking Aleve or Ibuprofen and the nurse said I could take anything for pain. I'm going to stick with X-Strenth Tylenol from now on.

I was reading another thread and someone mentioned that we shouldn't be taking Aleve or Advil with the band. I normally take Xstrenth Tylenol but I bought some Aleve a couple of weeks ago and since then I've taken 3 of them ( 1 tonight ) Just wondering what everyone takes for headaches.

Janet, Mom & I really enjoyed meeting you and spending time with you Saturday morning. Thanks for making the time to meet, it was so nice to meet you. Also....thanks for the talk you gave me, I promise to stick to the deal I made with you on the 3 days before work. :thumbup: You have helped me alot. Also....YOU LOOK FABULOUS !! I hope someday to look as good as you do. Ladies....she is Gorgeous. !! Hope you had a nice weekend and safe trip home. Hugs, Pj

Meeting Janet tomorrow for breakfast...can't wait !!!

Happy Birthday Janet !!

I went through that too. I had to go back to my Dr's office and the Dr removed some of my fill. The next day I spent the whole day in the Emergency room, still sick. Dr came and removed more. You must call you Dr.

Janet, I got your message and that weekend will be great. I will find out where your aunt is and find us a place to meet. I'm so excited !! How do you send privage messages?

Hi Everyone, I would like to get to know my bandster buddy's. I thought it would be nice to have a place where we could meet and discuss anything that is on our mind, and be here to support each other. I was banded in Aug. the weight loss has been very slow for me, which is all my fault. I plan from this day forward to track my calories and exercise everyday. My goal is to be at my ideal weight by Christmas next year.

Kidder, thanks for noticing. I appreciate it. SparkPeople is great, they are very supportive and caring. There are 2 groups there on Lap Band. Good Luck to you.

Woo Hoo...hit the 40 lb loss this morning. I have been waiting so long for this. Weight is coming off better now since I started tracking my food on SparkPeople and exercising. I am so thrilled !!! I had my 5th fill last week so I'm not feeling hungry, yet I still eat my 3 meals. Wanted to share since I am so excited !!
