Thanks Ladies! Tina I am sure Pam will hopefully chime in. This weightloss thing is nightmare. I know I have to take a day at a time. Those of you who doing well please your success and has worked for you we can all take pointers especially me at this time.

Love this Riley Jane! It all makes sense. Hi Y'all Hope everyone is doing well. I finally got back on track today. I had a rude awakening when my daughter asked me to come to her parent luncheon. Within the same sentence that she asked me to attend she stated "some of the boys at my school are mean" I quickly asked her what are you afraid of? She said nothing so I asked her "do you feel they will make fun of me?" She said yes and "mommy that would really hurt my feelings. While she still insisted that I come, I gingerly told her I have interviews to conduct yesterday in order to avoid going. So that was my cue from God. I have been praying for a some motivation and not understanding why I was self sabotaging. So I went on the Atkins website and decided to start their Phase 1 today. So far so good. I know my body does not process carbs like others and that it is almost toxic to my system. The problem is I was reading Pat's response about seeing a therapist and I really feel I am ready to face my demons. SO does anyone know a good therapist at Kaiser South Sacramento? I really have to do this not only for myself but for the kids. Love you all Reggie

I thought I was the only one experiencing the protein getting stuck or pbing on meats. The sad thing is before Lb I was not a sugar or rice person. Now I eat it like it's no one's business. I have been doing shakes and it is not working out so I plan on getting back to boiled eggs in the morning. I wonder if dr. P will see me again, I have not seen her since the last time I met with you jes and if I am not mistakened it was in April or eaier last year. I don't think I need a fill, I just need to drop this weight. Mo you are right I will set a mini goal of 15 lbs by may. Where is Donna?

Pat- I wish you the best with getting things back on track with your husband. Often when we change out image especially weightloss, it brings confusion in the home. Hang in there and all will be well. Well I have been struggling for a long time, since my near death experience, everything seems to have gone south with my weightloss. I cannot blame my band as I am sure if I allow it it will work. What I can say is that I have been extremely stressed with work. I have gained all my weight but 27 lbs short of my start weight. There is a reason why all of a sudden we all started getting emails from LB talk.,god knows I need all the support and I must say when we were together we did well. So those in sac let's do this and those in the eastbay get cracking and then we can make it a point in meeting at least once a month collectively. I miss you all tremendously, the laughs and the checks and balances that we had was priceless.

love ya too Candra and all. This is a sure sign for us to start getting our health back under control. We did so well when we met periodically. I want to really give this another try.

Hey Candice , how about the second week in April. We can do a Friday or Saturday? What Do you think?

Hey Jes it's good to hear from you. Well I have been well but not doing what I should be going to have my band help:-(. Well I am taking a day at a time the problem is I am losing the battle. I would like to blame it on stress. I will look forward to your get together! In the time being keep in touch! Candice you have done well and have not gained, obviously doing something right. Keep up the good work all.

Hi Candice, long time! I'm glad that there are still a few more here we really need to get together. Hey Lee and Mo, how have you been? Omg where is Jes, Candra, Donna,Tina, John Nicole both, Chris and the rest of the fam? Let's get back in touch y'all!

Congratulations La Chica. Hope you are doing well. I really miss our group! Hi Pam!

Hang in there Pam, i know the feeling. I can eat bread easily too, but it's a good thing its not something that I really care for. Where is everybody on this site anyway? Hope your fill went well.

Hi Pam, yes I can read your post. How are and all my LB family?

Riley, that's great!!I cut down my carb intake and I am trying to obey my band :smile2:. Mo, I am trying. I gained all my weight back and I have to do something about it.I a at pre op weight so I gained all post op 32lbs back. But I am confident that I a slowly but surely getting back on track.

Riley you are doing fine:-). Give him your blessing and few life lines, when he bumps his head he will come back. But the hope and wish is that all goes well with him there. He is taking leap of faith and all you can do is give him your blessing and it will help motivate his success. So this week I have been really good, i lost 6lbs and I know the band is working. I am at 5cc. I am waiting to drop 15-20 more and then go back to Dr.Park for a fill :-). Coming here and seeing you guys doing well and hanging in there helps. I see folks are not posting as much. I wish you all good health. Reggie

Hi Riley!! How are you and all the LB family doing? I am well, still struggling, but I see it as a means in search of doing the right thing. Everyone seems to be doing so well and happy for you all. I think of you guys often. Will be in touch. Reggie

I can totally understand, I am confident that we can do it right this time. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been different with RNY?

Thanks Tina!! I am back to pre surgery weight and needless to say I am frustrated and disappointed with myself. However I am trying to get over it and get back on track.

Hi All, I hope you are all doing well. Wow John you are down 60lbs already? good work you guys. I wish I could say the same. I am trying to work my way back from the abyss. I am glad you guys are all doing well. I wanted to pop in and say hello and find some inspiration with the hopes of giving some back soon. I miss you all. Have a good night. Reggie
