Ok...I did so good today.....weighed myself...down 2 pds yes!!!! So modivational!!! I just found out we are mandated for hours on Saturday do to the holiday weekend...short staffed...all that good stuff!!! GGGGGRRRR I am so pissed!! So I am going to go for a bike ride and think of all my friends trying to meet the same goal!!! :biggrin: But I would really like to get together so lets keep these going!!! :w00t: Anyone know when the next Kaiser one is

I did so good todaytoday and then blew it...I miss the days where I could just eat a small bit and satisfied...where did that feeling go.....is it just a matter of a fill....Ok my ladies who have had their bands for a while any of you hitthis point? And if so how did you get back on track.....I'm eating things I totally shouldn't and too much to boot...... Did good with water today though!!!! Its a start right?

Good morning my team!! :biggrin: Our team!!!! So I weighed myself......not good.....I'm up 4pds......ggggrrr.....today is a new day..... I forgot who asked how much is in my band....I believe I have 6 or 6.5 cc....I haven't had a fill since Sept....I think I need another!! :smile: Sat is good for me Donna....local would be great but Iwill travel.....its so good to hear you are loosing again!!! Ok its 04:20...Im off to work.....I can't be on here at work so I will check in this evening..... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can

It is SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO good to see everyones posts again!!!! Hey Tina you did it your under 200...good for you.....I'm eating the wrong things again and to much of anything....I agree sometimes about thePBing I did it tonight after dinner too....had a little prime rib and all I PB was saliva....yuck...but at least I stopped... Do you ever worry that you've stretched your stomach? I'm so stressed about it....yet I don't stop.....I'm going to though..I have to...I worked to hard to get to this point...... I miss you guys...any plans to get together anytime soon? I could totally use it

Hey ladies.....I know long time no hear!!!! Been so busy......no excuse!!!! I emailed Donna today...I feel lost.....my eating has gotten out of hand.....I eat whatever I want and I eat till I'm so full. i'm scared that I have stretched my band...yet I still do it...I'm so scared... I feel lost.....I'm down to 183 so no weight gain but its coming...I haven't weighed myself since before Christmas so I probably have gained a little but this started before Christmas....any advise ladies I need help.....I don't want this to all be a waste.....maybe already is...HELp......I miss you guys.......I got to side tracked with going back to my regular life.......It can't ever be regular...right

Smallerj...girl I did the same thing...I was wreck....but you will be so happy when you are all done and healing and watching the scale move down!!!:blushing:

Not sure how many of you are able to make the meetings at kasiser on those Sat...but I know its hard for me and Christine you had mentioned how hard it is cause it takes up the whole day.......any body got some sugestions where we could get together maybe on a friday night or something......Just a thought

Tina....thats is so stressful.....the asked all of our upper management to take furlo(sp) days last week and we are a privtae agency.....although I'm in management...I'm in good old middle management so we weren't affected...but I feel it coming!!!! That stress does not help our eating....at least not on this end.....Just hang in there......

Good evening everyone!!!!! Trying to fimd that time to myself!!! :0 Chris.... little baby booboo........I'm so excited!!!! Ok...so Dr.Baggs emailed me back today about if I'm to tight or not.....he asked me if I could eat 2 bites and if I was pucking all the time...I said no at first I was but now its just sometimes (like tonight)...he said that once I lose a few more pds it wont be so tight.....I think its starting to get better other than my episode tonight...I did great at lunch...I told him I will wait a few more days and see if it gets any better... I went and bought cloths at a regular girls store.....I went into the Macy's womens store and the lady helpd me pick out the smallest stuff the had...totally fell off...the lady was so sweet and said honey you can't shop here anymore......it was a weird feeling....so my husband says lets go over to one of the other stores...I was instantly nerves...what the hell..I don't get nervous...I felt so intimadated (sp) I kept telling my husband everyone is looking at me thinking I shouldn't be in here.....he was like no they are not you look amazing...anyway I walked out with a pair of 14 jeans (not plus size 14either!! :thumbup:) there is totally a differance LOL!!!! and a top....it felt so good after I got over that strange feeling.... Anyone else go through this? I am such not a shy person but boy I saw a whole new side of me...strange

Willow...I had no problems either...I was 100 pds over weight...I emailed my PCP and asked for a referal..I told her I wasn't sure about it but I wanted to find out more about it...I had orientation on 03/03/09 and did EVERYTHING they told me too and had surger on 05/04/09...2 months later.......I know some have ha a hard time but most don't ...at least if I remember

I totally need some fluid out!!!! I'm at 5.5..... I've only lost about 3 pds since my last fill, I'm thinking its because of the high calorie liquids...and the fact that I really have been bad about the water.....I haven't excercised in a month...terrible...bad habits are lerking... Maybe part because I haven't been involoved in much to do with my band and need to find some time for myself again...like being on here!!! :thumbup: With my girls!!!! I totally missed you all!!! Tina I'm so glad you love the oils....I cook with them almost every time I cook!!!! That one should be there soon......I had never had to order a replacement before so there was some mix up on my part about numbers and such...but it should come soon!!!! Christine we need to get together soon.....I miss you!!! Candra...your having surger in a matter of dats...yah hoo!!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble John had with lap band since its been such a blessing for us...but you know everything happens for a reason...you were just ment for the sleeve!!

Hey my weightloss ladies!!!!! How is everyone!!!!! I'm doing pretty good....had to just email Dr.Baggs because I think I'm to tight!!! We had our fill on Aug 20th...and I just kept thinking it would get better, but its not. I'm in pain after about 3 small bites of just about anything, I've vomited I don't know how many times just from stuff getting stuck...if it doesn't get stuck I'm in so much pain for about 30min...I can't take it anymore!!!! I thikn I was perfect right before this fill but thought maybe 1 more......I'm thinking not!! :thumbup: I'm finding I'm eating higher calorie liquids more too, I think because I'm hungry and I know they will go down...no good..... Christine...you are just truckin along!!!! Crazy......I'm so happy for you.....so what are you thinking girl or boy....I know we want boy.....either way I have a tone of stuff if you want it!!!! And you know me its nice stuff LOL Hope everyone is doing well...I miss you all life has just been crazy......gets in the way sometimes!!! I'm hoping to make it to the Kaiser meeting.....I haven't been since right before surgery!! Terrible!!!!

Candra you are amazing...you will rock this thing.....hows the pounds going!!!!??? Nicole I mightwant to plan a party.....do you have any info I can reaD ABOUT IT THAT YOU CANNN EMAIL

There is the Kaiser meeting here in sac...we just get together from time to time!!! Totally fun!!!! I went to the Richmond support group once it was good...but its far and most of the people were gastric bypass....the one here at Point West was about 50/50

marquint I am in Elk Grove too....which I would have logged on before I left today to elt you know...we met at Mimi's in Natomas

Ok Ladies who weren't at lunch today...........I DID IT!!!!!! I am under 200!!!199.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amazing!!!! I know I said I didn't love my band a few months ago...baby I am loven it now!!!! THank you guys for such a great lunch today!!! So much fun!!!! I'm really looknig forward to getting together again!!!!! Missed you Christine!! Love you guys.....wouldn't be so successful without you!!!! :tongue_smilie:

Candra...don't give up honey...even with this band we all struggle with the same......You can do this......you had some hella drama give your self a brake and just start over...... I need to take my own advice :smile2: :thumbup:

Hey Ladies!!! Christine I had so much fun!!! So glad you came over...the kids crashed that evening!!!Wait tell you all see her...WOW she looks amazing!!!!! My hubby will hlep me down load the picture!! :smile2: So I wore a skirt today....I honestly could not tell you the last time I wore a skirt.....I felt so comfortable...which made me think...when was the last time it was summer and I was not sweating in some pair of jean capris.....I love this... I am struggling with my eating again...I guess thats why they try to push the reality of our eating issues,...the band does not cure that...thats for sure!!!! But it helps me not push it.....but for some reason I have picked up eating chips again.....my biggest weakness has always been like chips and dips.....well now with Bar B Q season there everywhere...GGRRRR..... But because of the band I can't eat as many as I want so I'm not gaining anything BUT I'm not loosing because of it either......GGGRRR I'm a pund away from being under 200...come on women get a grip!!!

Good morning..... I ate terrible again...what the hell......ok today is a new!!! Candi-I can do next Friday

Tamara...I did nto tell anyone at work and still haven't don't plan to. If I remember right we all had different opinions on this (weather to tell people or not). I work with some very judgemental people and one of the worst ones had had gastric bypass and has gained it back...so I knew the things I would hear, oh you too the easy way.....oh you wouldn't be loosing if it wasn't for the surgery...I felt that stuff would hold me back...this is by far the hardest thing I ever did snd the last thing I needed was people holding me back. Its been great so far...I lost a little over 20 pds before I had surgery and then I told them I was having hernia surgery......(I hate lieing about that but the bottom line is it really is no one business it was personal choice). The nice thing to with lap band is I think it is not so obvious, if I want a little something they are having I have a little, even sweets which I think would be a big giveway if I turned down the sweets. So I'm down 45pds and people tell me how great I look or all the sudden people who see me all the time will go wow you've lost weight!!! Another good thing about the band its gradual (sp) not 100 pds all at once a nice healthy weight loss!!!! Anyway thats my situation.....like I sadi I know others feel like they want to share it to maybe help other people and I agree with that too!!!! Any chance anyone could do lunch on FRI? We are taking the kids to the free movie on Thursday and then to lunch? Let me know Today is going to be a better food day!!!! I control it it does not control me!!! (I know I'm a dork but had to get that off my chest!!!)

Hey ladies...I miss you all too!!!! I am really struggling this week....I have been eating things I haven't ate in months.....and the worse part is I don't know why? I'm not depressed.....infact I am getting so many compliments....maybe thats why... Can we do lunch or something soon....I really need some girls/band time......

Hey ladies!!!! vI am so bummed I couldn;t make it yesterday I really needed it!! We had a Bar B Q for my hubby's birthday yesterday and I thought I would get enough doen beofre but just was not able to.....any plans for a lunch soon...I really miss everyone!!!! As far as the relationship thing goes.....it crossed my mind how he would be.....but he has been great, my hubby like Christines has lost weight right along wit me....he looks amazing and we do the aame always incourage each other......I think he likes me thinner although I don't think it really matters to him either way....and we tease each other when we see someone checking the other one out...I think its flatter when someone checks him out...he's hot...what can I expect!! :thumbup: He says the same about me......We have been married 5 years and I think this journey has just brought us closer....I am so lucky!!!
