Joann I am feeling really good these days of course I am struggling with my sweet tooth but I am trying to take everyone advice and incorporate more fruit. Question for anyone on the board this evening I go to the Dr tomorrow and he is going to ask me how I am doing which is really well but when it comes to food on some days I can each a whole chicken breasts and others not so much. This is how my Dr likes to measure my food intake. I am not much of a food journal person so I am not sure if I should get a tiny fill or leave it alone what do you all think? I usually have a 8-16oz cup of coffee in the morning with half and half and splenda then about an hour later I have some type of Protein or oatmeal then for lunch I have Soup or tuna,chicken or egg salad or sometimes I split lunch with my mother (we work together for the same company different departments). dinner is usually a little of whatever it is I cooked it is funny I used to eat from a salad plate but alot of the time I eat from a small cup because the salad plate looked to big to me. So I am not sure if I should get a feel or not.

Thanks for the ideas. I guess I wait to long to eat, then when I do I am totally hungry. I need to pause in between bites and really focus on that. I actually have not tried the Truvia I have tried Sun Crystals recently and liked it. It is grainy too. Well gotta run I am off work today and going to work out with my son which is fun b/c it is a competition to see who can keep up with what my trainer friend gives us to do. Thanks all for being supportive and very helpful. Also on the skin issue I now have wiggly upper arms. Oh well I will live with it for now but it is like you wave goodbye to someone and your hand stops and your arm keeps on saying goodbye LOL

Hey all My band date is July 2nd. I think I want to lose about 50 more. so I would like to lose it all by my next anniversary -
Hey girl I am doing well. A little nervous with my 1 year coming up. I went shopping for clothes yesterday and could not really find anything I liked in pants. I did try on a size 14 womans dress and was shock it fit. But I can were 16 -18 in shorts and pants. I am not complaining I will take it. I still have the sweet thing happening but I am slowly working on that. I went to see my tranier and his scale which is like the Doctorrs said 226 but my scale said 230 so I don't i know which is right. But I took the smaller number lol. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for checking on me.

Oh how quick I forget these things. Try to let us know how he is doing when you can. I will keep him and you in my prayers. -
PJ, For me if I eat anything really cold and my band is tight it feels like it makes it tighter. You might want to try staying with warm or hot things like tea that might help. I know if I try to eat icecream it makes be pb after a bite or two. Also try liquid Tylenol this helps me it is in the adult pain isle not the kids. Again this is just things that I find work for me many people are different but I thought it might be worth a shot to get you through till you can see the Dr.

I actually did not remeber the 50-100 pounds in the first year that is great to know!! I did remember my Dr saying if you look at a bypass patient vs a lapband after 3 years they average out to roughly the same weight loss. They just drop it all in the begining and we take more time to get there. -
Congrats on your son getting married!!!

Orea, I will keep praying for you husband to find work soon. Maybe they will call Monday with good news. I am also glad you have restriction as well now. As for me I am hanging in there. My 1 year check up is on 7/6/09. My band anniversary is 07/02/09. I thought i would have lost more weight but 52 pounds is just as awesome. -

Long your pics are awesome you go girl. Peas - I am glad you sister is doing well. Are kids not the sweetest. Makes you wonder how we all survived growing up. My sister and I use to sit in the hatch back area of my parents car with our pillows and stuff and we made it to adult hood. Now if you breath wrong something might happen LOL at least that is what all the "experts" keep telling us. Well I am doing well just relaxing this weekend then back to the gringd on Monday. I hope everyone one is having a good weekend
