have you been to meet them or just over computer i'm in texas so don't know that part of mexico. I had my band here in ft worth and didn't even know people were going to mexico until after really didn't know that much got a computer after the lapband really went into it very blind but just wanted the weight off lol now would like to get rrid of this thing.

so 15 thousand here and around 7 plus in mexico i think that sounds good how did you go about the arrangements in mexich

Funny man you blow me away girl. I have wanted to get rid of the apron for over 32 years since son was born. It is a thing that has a life of it's on when I would lose it stayed the same when I gained it gained first and over the years it has just gotten larger. There have been times I have been smaller lol. But what I started out to say you are a brave women I have never gotten anything done because could not get enough courage up to let a sur. look at my belly and just never would check into it,and always felt like I needed to be to goal weight before I tried. Now I find out that I may have had this done before goal and would have been better off. Go for it girl!!! I would lose mine in a heartbeat, have always been afraid of cost and knew ins. would not pay. What is the difference in cost by going to Mexico? I know that every location is different but never have had the courage until now to even look into it. You have given me that courage because if there is anything I want more than being at goal weight is to lose that awful thing hanging from my waist. Thanks for the hope. Judy

when joined the club was 164 dropped to 160 went on vac. gained 3 but at weigh in this morning was back at my 160. This is the spot can't seem to get pass. Hope this time next week will be working on the next 10 will be so happy to see scale show 159.5 lol have been in this 160 to164 for 2 months now thinking of trying the diet. Judy

i am part of the gone for good club but don't seem to be a good club member. I knew when joined would have a hard time at first becaused joined middle of the monthe and then was going on vac. also to mexico. Had a wonderful time did not get liguids in like i thought i would and knew i would do the sweet thing so guess what i gained 3 lbs. Some came off when i got back but and still having trouble making all the goals i need to make. Really having trouble have not lost anything in 2 months and just the time was in Mexico have been working out hard not everyday but at least 4 to 5 days. Walk 3 miles and do the weight thing watch what i eat but guess still not doing everything right. Need to focus more. Just blowing off steam because things not working

dawn that is the only way the office i go to does it. I can't think how they could do it without. It really does work well and like you said it's cool to see.

I had a friend that was losing her hair from being to restrided. She was so tight that she could not even get her protein drink down but would not go back to Dr. When her hair started coming out she went back and got some taken out. Dr. told her lack of protein was what was making her hair fall out and over all just bad nutrtion. So hit the protein drinks that might help.

i walked three miles on tread mill and used wieht mac. fyi i have found that if i get audio books from library (cost to much to buy) it sure helps time go bye on tread mill i don't know why tv doesn't help or music but paying attention to a book seems to take mind of the same old smae old. one cd is 60 min of the book and it takes me around that much time to walk the 3. Don't know if anyelse does this but it has helped me.

don't wory had sur. on a friday monday i was in same shape was so weak felt i would pass out. Called dr. office and nurse acted like she had never heard of anyone doing this kept trying to tell me i had a bug. It did pass also forgive the pun. It still happens if i eat to much diary like yogurt.:faint: that's how i felt the monday and it was my pre-school granddauhter's grandparents day at school. Took me all morning to get ready because felt i would faint but did make it not my best moment but glad i pushed to make it.

MelAnne i am like you i cut back on food when i don't lose but i use the scale to movate me. If i'm the same then keep working hard to keep it that way. If gained a lb then cut back on what i eat. I was banded in Feb. and only have lost 20 and work out hard walk 5 miles and work with weights 3 days a wk. So be happy 19 lb. but i understand it is hard not to see the scale move in the direction down.

I am going on vacation to Mexico in june. wondering what Breakfast foods or good because eggs just don't work for me. I can eat a chip but let me try eggs and it is very painful even have pb so afraid of breakfast foods would like some idea's before so can try before trip. :party: judy

I don't eat breakfast now but love breadfast while on vac. that will be when all the family get together to start day. Big trip all family in-laws out-laws cousins grandkids you name them we are all going since don't eat breakfast now was wondering what everyone's input would be. Now i think i will just be drinking coffee from what everyone has to say. Judy

thanks that is what i thought i would do but hard to know because some days great after this last fill and other days not

hate to sound awful but what about pancakes. Have not cheated once since feb. and really don't plan on being real bad on vac. but there are few things like to let myself have. Worried about band because big family vac. and would love not to worry about getting sick. Everyone going in-laws you name them whole bunch

thanks everyone. I love breakfast but only like on vaction, most time 2 cups coffee is all i have then maybe mid morn. have protein shake. Since love breakfast on trips just was wondering.It will be the only time, i will let myself do things that i don't do very often. Don't know why can't get scrambled eggs down chew really good but they seem to block. Judy

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. A big thankyou to bandayed if this makes it where i want it to go. I was banded Feb 10 2006 by Dr. Marsden and so far good. I got my second fill april 10th that has been hard some days i do just fine, but there have been somedays that i have thrown up. Until this last fill never had,really never even thought of it. I think i may be still eating to fast at times. I have done very well health and weight. I could not take any pain meds. never have been able make me sick. I have to say I did just fine without first day could have used a little help but still made it fine. I was so glad to have found this site. There are so many ?'s you have but no one to ask them of. I can't tell you how at the (begining) just reading everything gave me the answer I needed,so a big THANK YOU! Hope I did this ok and if did looking forward to talking to everyone. Bye Judy

thank you everyone for the welcome it has helped so much. xena it is good you found this site because you will be better for knowing a little about what is going to happen. I just entered computer world after was banded and it has been hard not knowing anything. After found this place so many ?'s answered. I don't know if i would have gone forward if i had read everything before. I did band more to stop loseing and then gaining it all back again to start all over. That is still my hope that i will be able to keep it off after i get where i want to be. thanks for warm welcome judy

I am so glad found this tread it was what i needed since last fill (2nd fill) i have had good days and bad days thought i was doing something wrong since threw up for fist time after 2nd fill. I know what you mean about the things you can eat. :faint: The bad part it seems the foods can eat are the ones not to eat. I just don't eat then and know that's not ok but worry about throwing up. Man i love these little things lol everything i see this guy thud. judy

I am new to this but here goes. I felt the same way had my sur. feb 10 2006. Worried all the time if eating to much and was i hurting myself.Have had two fills now and the second fill has kicked my butt. I can eat sometimes and then sometimes it just comes back up i think i'm eating to fast don't know yet.

well when i get enjoy nerve to join noone is on i have been reading everything for a few days and have learned a great deal. I guess i should tell everyone who i am judy. I got my band Feb. 10 2006 and have had 2 fills last fill mon. of this wk. boy that second fill really got me if things don't get better i think i might need to go get some taken out tried to eat tonight and for the first time threwup and still don't fill great. Don't know if something didn't go all the way down. I can drink and it must go down so hope will be better tomorrow. I have felt just fine until this evening. i wish i would have gotten on earlier. well maybe tomorrow.
