1day at a time

I just noticed that an ad popped up in one of my old posts what the heck come on stay off of my posts.

That is awesome; However sorry about the seed getting stuck

I agree with Ocotillo - You are doing a great job. Lab Band Talk helped me so much in the begining and still does. You should read alot of the post from the begining of this thread or read several topics and post and many are good at posting back. Oh my name is Melissa and I am in year 3. I have had ups and downs and some slips but it is always a learning process and I can say that this year has been alot better for me ecspecially these last couple of months when I really started refocusing on why I got the band to begin with. I started doing so sort of excersing each day and eating more Protein and more importantly following my Drs orders. (I was very lazy this past year with eating , and excersing and paid the price with weight gain) But I am losing now that my head is in place. If you are having problems with a choking feeling I would call your Drs office. You might be to tight if you have had fills. Or you might be eating to fast. Sometimes if I am to hungry and eat something to fast it always comes back to bite me. You could try drinking Protein shakes for a couple days then try eating again taking small bites and still see if you have that same issue. However if you have that same feeling while drinking shakes I would call you Dr right away.

Hi everyone, Blaze I would love to get a D&B purse I should set that foe my major goal reward. I am doing well. I have been exercising alot more and have my food under control all in all I feel really great after making a pack with my Dr to restart and refocus myself.

Hey everyone - I hope everyone is doing well. I have been reading here and there but just been so busy I am not on here much. I miss talking to my July butterflies but I agree since they change the format around it kinda stinks.

Happy Bandaversary Kimaly!!!! I am doing well I am refocused since my last fill to tackle my problem head on. I try to exercise at least 30 mins each day. I am trying to get more weight off to get off my diabetes meds.

We all do Rock Congrats to all our Anniversaries this month Cynthia you have been through alot but you can get through this too stay strong girly. You can do this. Charlene - I pray everything works out and the Sleeve gives you the tool you need to get through this battle. Cause this sure is a battle for us all. I go to the doctor Monday for a much needed fill. I gained 30 pounds when he took almost all the Fluid out and kinda went a little crazy with the food. I too am thinking this of a restart and going to do it right.

So I am posting this now so I don't forget since I will be busy this weekend watching my 7month nephew. Tomorrow 7/2 is my 3 year anniversary with my band. This last year had been rough however; I'm going to fix this and make this year the best year ever. Love to all my LB friends who have been with me since day 1

'crzytchr' - You go girl. Keep rocking at the gym

I am glad to see so many people posting ad well

Yes that is true I am having a hard time getting my eating under control I need help

I agree with what u say Kimaly but omg what a battle it is sometimes

I am hanging in there I nd to get back to work on myself, food wise. I am now swimming at a pool a couple times a week and I also found a place that has walking indoors that is free at a community center near my house. I hope everyone is doing well.

Oh Linda - I am so sorry for your loss. May God help you through this and know one day you will see him again. Love you and if you need anything please let me know.

First of all let me Say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOU!!! :cake: :party: Thanks for letting me know about your back issues; I don't wish this pain on anyone but I am glad someone else knows what I am talking about. I thought I was going crazy. Love you girl!!!

Thanks Everyone, I will let you know as soon as I get an interview for the postitions. I was alternating Ice and Heat when I was laying down alot. I have been using a heating pad cause it was easier. I will switch to Ice and possible alternate. I wish I could figure out why this time it is the worse than it has ever been before; meaning now it is including all the way down my right leg to my foot. The right side of my foot is numb.

Thanks for the crossed fingers

Jewel - I wanted to let you know I enjoy your videos on you tube. You inspire me to do great things. Keep it up girl you are doing great. To come back from a cruise and not gain is awesome. Sorry your DH is working so much. Don't sweat it if you can not make dinner with all that is going on. I believe you are making wonderful choices even if you have to get fast food. Remember everyones journey is different and I believe you are moving at the right pace for you. Look at all you have done within the 65 weeks. Way To Go !!!

Hey Everyone , I am around I have not been on the computer in a while. i devolped a sharp pain from my right hip down to my right foot. It causes the right side of my foot to be numb. It is my sciatic nerve steming from a problem with discs in my lower back. Anyways since I have no insurance it cost over 100.00 to see my Dr. If I sit or lay on a heating pad it helps alot so I try to do that. I am trying not to go to the Dr. On the job front two full time postions have open up at Sams one is a meat cutter and the other is an advantage member associate. I applied for both. If I can get one then I can get insurance Starting in May since they are Full time positions. I pray they let me interview and I get picked for one of them. I really like what I do now but nothing full time is available; so I have to do what I have to do. As for me and my weight issues just hanging in there have not done alot. Not 100% yet. I am trying to do the high Protein thing; still struggling with my cravings but I am working on it. Car issues as well to talk about. The condensation from my air conditioner (the Water that runs out of your car when you run your air) is leaking into my car instead of outside. There is something wrong with the hose or the box itself, I was given a quote of 500.00 to fix it and they will need my car for two days. In the mean time I am just soaking up the water with a shammy. It is what it is but I am praying for a break soon. Love to you all and the pics posted are very pretty.

I am hanging in there. I am just done. Done with my DH being an ass about my food and my health. Done with being Diabetic. Done with my back and knees hurting. I gained most of my weight back except 20 pounds. Done with not having insurance anymore. Done with not being able to see my therapist because with no insurance is 170.00 a session. IAM DONE!!!! I need to get out of my head. I am killing myself I really do understand that. Sometimes I just want it to be over. I am done feelling like crap. I AM DONE!!!!! Now what???? What baby step do I go to first?
