Morning for me, its my day off, but having my own bussiness it just means, day to catch up all the things that may get over looked, paying bills, having my new grape nuts trail mix for Breakfast. Thins is the only day I have to do landry , but I packed it full and it seems it 's broken,, ah well a reason to go shopping I suppose. I dont think its 100 degrees just yet but maybe 99.. Im here in the AC while my two adorable dogs stare at me ( they hate that it takes me forever to eat now) Thanks to every one who are always so helpful and supportive. *** HUGS****

wow 92 ,, tell how did you do it!

THANK YOU FOR THIS STRAND OF HOPE!! I strated to notice my hair falling out about a week ago, yesterday it was so bad, my DH noticed .. mentioning that he loves my breasts and my hair and Im looing them both!! I called my doc and he basicly sid it normal and not to freak out.. also that little could be done... I have been worried thogh so much that last night I had a weird dream tha the front of my hair grew out down to my knees and the back was bald.!! so Im in at 4.5 months .. so hair we go!!

Raven NSV - Non scale Victory.. Girl, if you need loud music and a dance floor, then you go out and find one.. there is NOTHING (well maybe dh) that I love more then loud 80's music and a dance floor. Alison - 69 Pounds wow thats great, I know you must be looking a feeling better.. Ive found that people are afraid to say anything because they dont want you to know that thay noticed how fat we were before, it takes time.. hang in there!

YEA!!! We new you could do it.. so whats next?

Im at 35 Pounds.. wow I think about it and its amazing, the last time I lost 35 pounds was right after I got married. On Phen Phen, Im feeling great and cant wait to get on the scale every day! Ive had 2 Fills, @ 1.5 in 4 cc band, Ive been there for almost 3 months, its perfect.. Doc said I coud go tighter but I dont want to as I hate to suffer. Just in the last two weeks Ive has several people come to me in my office and my clients and say wow, your looking great.. how did you do it? It makes me feel great and I tell them just wait , im just getting started! My dry cleaner noticed, but Im sure its because I went in and had 5 FIVE inches taken out of the waist of my suits! I have had some issues, It seems Im eatting too much. I have gotten lazy and have stopped weighing my food. This has to stop. the other thing is Im am eating to fast. to fix this, I started using a tea set of silverware, its just smaller and its worked wonderfully! I am having a slime ball about once a week, from eatting to fast, its a horriable experince, its like that green goast from ghost busters. It not food just thick yucky slime and alot of it. Im going to the gym 4 times a week, and swimming on Sundays. Two greatest NSV, My panties are too big and falling off.. and I went to a consert, and could sit in the seat confortably. ( I kept getting up and down just to make sure!!)

HEY ALL MY MARCHIES. its time to check in again, I want to hear from all of you. here's the questions.. How is your weight loss? How much of fills have you had? Has any one noticed your shrinking? Complications or issues your having? Are you going to the gym or doing other acitivites? Whats your greatest NSV? Lets all share we are all in it together Right!!

Hey>>>> Come On < Back Away From The Bread>>> We Can Almost See You...

This happens to me about once a week, I Lose my mind and eat bread or, well event when I eat the right foods but eat too fast, I suffer I mean the pain is wrenching for about 10 Min and then I open my mouth and a slime ball comes up.. MY Dr calls it foamies , well that makes it sound half cute but it isnt. each time its like a 1/4 to a half of cup of just slime, very little food. So as the negitive reinforcement has taught me , slow and steady, chew , chew , chew. when I focus on these thought coupled with listening to my body, If you already have a sticky poing dont keep shoveling it in!! it has slowed down. The good news is My Doc said, If your doing this and its just when you misbehave, then the band is well adjusted. If your doing this every day and having trouble then you might be to tight. Take time focus on what your body is telling you. welcome to slimeville.

I’m getting a bit frustrated and I wanted to hear from the people, I’m about 3.5 months out, eating reg food, and have lost about 30 lbs.. I’ve had three fills ., just lately I’ve had allot more restriction, my last fill was 8 weeks ago, but just in the last 2 weeks I’ve really had a increase in my restriction.. that’s great I know you will all agree, but I’m having allot of trouble with PB and slime, about 5 bites into my dinner, I gat the " sign" that stuckness in your chest.. I sit back wait a couple a minutes and work through it only for it to get worse, gurgling,, burping and pain, the pain.. My husband was in the car with me the last time and I thought he was going to take me to the ER... I have found the solution to my problem is in the ladies room, that porcelain throne I pose myself over and I swear what looks like a 1/3 of a cup of slime comes up.. A little bit of food, but mostly slime... and it’s like instant releif... now after about three days of this happening I’m starting to get concerned, why does this Slime ball happen, what can I do to avoid it, is this how a slip happens, id retching the best way to deal with it? Help a girl out... or the attendant in the ladies room is going to turn me in.. to the bulimic intervention people.

thank you all for your advice, the slime thing was getting out of contraol, I gone a couple of days without issue and then this morning, slime again..Im slowing down but I think in the morning I better stick with liquid yogert or protien shakes.. and try to eat solid food in the afternoon.

I liked #1 , its very gamey ,, the green, the boots the short skirt.. all the way.

So, I have to laugh and cry when I heard this,, I have so been there, had to get off and everything, I played it off like I was too sacared, but that was my wake up call .. I Have not been back to a amusment park sence .. The one funny thing though I did CRAM my ass into one of those swings that sinn around about 15 feet off the air, and well it took two people to get my but free from the seat.. Im greatful that I have a good sence of humor and I laughed it off.. It took a few rum and cokes to meak me feel better too, but I would never be the same.

OK. I have a new issue.. I know you people that have gone before me hold the answer, it started on Monday. Ive been getting the hicups wight agter eating, It doesnt matter what I eat or how much, just about 3 to 5 minutes after they start, hic, hic, hic, I so annoing, and of course every one is looking at you and telling you how to fix them.. afyer about 10 min they go away on their own,, but its not fun. any one else? Paula

wow 98 pounds , what kind of pre op diet were you on!!

Mandi, I did not do any preop diet, That was the weight I was went I got on the OR Table. I the thinnest I remember being as an adult is 180. so I know what you mean about getting to 175. I would LOVE to be able to just shop in regular sizes so a14 or 16 would be great. Im 5' 7" so Im thinking some where around 160 -180 I would be a happy camper, who knows I might get there and say, I can do 10 more !! I know took a look at My Vurtual Model , There a link on LBT some where Just search, I used the one from Glamor.. This will give you a 360 Idea of what diffrent weight will look on you. try it its fun.. I printed my out and put it on the fridge, That way I can see myself changin. Laters

what thin mint,, I dont know what your talking about... they come from little green angels that brng them only once a year..

Im in the mood for chatting ,,, come on in!!

I loved this part of the journey, just hang on.. keep your chin up, this is the easy part..

Raven - chocolate Peanut Butter pie... :clap2: Vlb ( I know you have a real name) Your doing awesome and have such a great attitude , how do you keep your sprits so High?<O:p></O:p> I love to exercise , not really but I like to be active, so I walk to my friends home instead of drive, about 2 miles I take the stairs at work 3 flight 4 to 6 times a day, I going a swimming class at the Gym on Sundays, and I try to work out at the gym with 1/2 hour of cardio and 1/2 hour of weight training.. I try to always look for fun ways I can Add activity in my life, that treadmill in the corner, its no fun..<O:p></O:p> <O:p></O:p> Allison - it does seem like time has flown by and yet, I feel like I’ve had this band forever.. 55 Pounds That’s awesome, <O:p></O:p> I know what you mean about eating to fast, I’m struggling with that now, I got a small tea set of spoons and forks that helps me allot at home. but when I’m out I have to be really careful, I see other people finishing way before me and I think I’m holding them up.. <O:p></O:p> I know it can be disappointing; I have had a couple of people notice that I’ve lost weight.. Take stride though most people are afraid to say anything for fear that you might be offended that they thought you were fat in the first place... most of my office people say wow you look great, new out fit? Look out for these suttle compliments, they noticed. <O:p></O:p> <O:p></O:p> Mandi - I’m a little short of my goal to, but I subscribe to the reach for the stars theory ... You and I were pretty close in the numbers and I’ve lost 31 lbs, your doing great and No PB's You must be doing something right.. Good work... <O:p></O:p> <O:p></O:p>
