hippmom

gee lisa and glo i've been flying alone the last few weeks now that i don't get to see lou at the mg meetings. who's going to hold my hand (it's kinda of dirty either been digging in the garden or in someones mouth, but i still need it held) maybe lisa glo and lou and me can get together somewhere in between all of us and have a pep rally someday soon!!!!

lisa i'll hold your hand and help you through this just email me or call if you get all down and out!

oh lisa did you get out and enjoy the beautiful day???? i did lots of master gardener stuff today and yesterday and will tomorrow and inbetween i worked in my yard (it looks real good at this time just hoping and praying maggie won't unplant everything i planted) djh is running his legs off hipp hopping (we rent bounce houses for kids party) that said i am tired!!!!

hogg you are doing so good!!!! i am a chocoaholic now and before!!! no matter how tight i am chocolate slides right down, but right now i am very tight and i am never hungry so the amount of chocolate i eat is much less than in the past!!!!YEH if i eat the hard protien stuff i don't have room for chocolate so i try to things like cheese or cottage cheese or shaved ham when i get home from work so i don't graze all nite like i did before the last fill. it takes very little to fill me up these days i have to be real careful to not push it to the limit when i eat, but if i just don't try last one more bite i am ok. this is the first time i have actually lost at least a pound a week since my last fill. since feb the 25 i have lost 8-10 lbs. and i have not change the things i eat but i am eating very little. still getting enough calories because of the chocolate and i have not lost my hair!!!YEH i had set my goal to lose 77 lbs and i only have around 20 more to get to that goal, but my dh took some pic of the kids and i last weekend and i think i will need to lose more than 20 unless things really change with that last 20. i think i will always have a big belly and ps is not in my future because of the $$$ i was self pay for the band and really cant justified spending more $$$ on plastics for an old lady like me. i started at a tight 24 and can now wear a slightly toght 16 or loose 18. i would like to be loose 16 or slightly tight 14. so i will see what the next 20 lbs bring.

glo i saw that too don't know what's up

lisa i think YUCK!!!

yuck!!!! do feathers and web feet weigh more than clothes????

jon b i can so relate to you!!! i had my band done in 7-06 the first 2 months after surg. and the pre op i lost 20 then i struggled along until 3-07 only losing 10 more lbs. and i went in for a fill one day and the next day i could eat a horse so i called and the dr did a fill under flouro and with dye and you could see the saline pouring into the surrounding tissue. every fill i have had has been difficult most of the time 5-8 sticks, i too believe the tube was puncture by the dr doing the fill during the first attempt to do the fill. i also believe due to the leak i learned to eat around the band to easily and that has slowed the weight loss.m my dr didn't charge to replace the tubing but i did hae to pay $2000 for hospital charges which i thought was unfair!!! my fills are still difficult but the dr is much more caution now, and finally after 18 months i am losing at a good rate and my band is very tight at this time but i don't want to go for an unfill because i am finnally losing, if i just stop eating after a bite or two i am ok, so i am learning to eat like a bandster now!!!! sorry about the book, but like i said i can so relate!!!

glo i take maggie to classes that deb's dog house here in mp has. but it is getting hard to make myself go just 2 more classes and we will be through.' i will try to make the april class cause i want to see all you skinnies!!!! i am very very tight and have a hard time even eating chocolate so maybe i will lose some ##! also i am back in the yard hoeing mowing and planting like a madwoman. lol!!!!

hey mp peeps i just ck noscales and it says the support meeting is cancelled for tommorrow

i forgot about maggies dog class monday nite so i guess i wont make the meeting we only have 2 more classes and she still isnt as smart as i need her to be so i guess we need more schooling lol

hey lisa be very very quiet i think i am losing at a pretty good rate right now for the first time ever!!!! i am super tight can't eat in the a m and can't eat much a nite but mid day i able to eat a small amount perfect restriction for a snacker like me. glo i agree lou looks great!!!! lisa i haven't run into you a wallie world lately, maybe i have and just didn't know your new skinny self. i didn't think i could feel much difference in the restriction after the last fill for about 3-4 days and wham there is was so maybe that will happen for you lisa is this monday nite support meeting here in mp???

hey i decided i was going to tip-toe through the tulips for a while!!!!

i went for a fill last week and boy am i TIGHT!!!! i slimed all the way to work today because of drinking my slimefast to fast!!! trying to learn to live with it because i don't want to get an unfill and be like i was in dec and jan.

wtg lisa!!!!!

lisa you and lou and glo are naughty!!!! what does the protien drink look like(not taste,but look)!!! i`saw lou last nite and she told me all about yalls meeting monday.

lisa what size 8 or 10????? nope no dirt, just very busy. tue i was going to work after lunch and there was a big grass fire right in front of mothers so i stop and stayed with her until it was under control thankfully it didn't cross the fm road but it was close enough to the road we could see flames. then on thursday i took mother and 2 sisters to longview to be with their older sister which was dying. she died friday and visitation was tonite and the service is tomorrow, then next week me and maggie (the pup) go to our first dog class and tue and thursday is master gardening classes and then to top it all i have to go to osha training at the office on friday. but then maybe the weather will be good and things will slow down so i can play in the soil(dirt is not the right word) hope every one is a good loser this week

funny that i saw this today i had an orange at lunch and let's just say that will be the last orange i eat for a very long time it is very hard to clean teeth and run the bathroom at the same time!!!

brrr its COLD

lisa how are you feeling??? man my turtle sure is slow----

lisa she's driving me crazy!!! boy do i have a problem! my master gardner classes have started up again.. the tradition is the class that just finished training last yr has to feed the new class. so this year is my year to help feed the new class and there is sooo much goood food at these meetings so dieting is out of the question i just try to eat some amounts of all the good thingsLOL!!! but the class are fun and i don't have to cook for dh cause he goes too. the class meets on tue and thur for 7 weeks and we are about a third of the way through. but after the classes are over we will have a lot of work to do on our garden and greenhouse and all the new flower beds so maybe that will help work off all the goood food!!!

way to go glo but what a way to go!!!! glad you are feeling more like the glo we know and love!!! chuckles i don't think so but i am not sure call and ask to be sure!!! hey lisa what's up? sug and l2 how are you guys sounds like you both are doing good. tp sounds like you stay on the run becareful and don't eat to fast!

way to go chris!!!! not many of us ck in on this thread much anymore i am a slow poke but still drudging along. had a leaking port and that slowed me down for about 6 months.

hey glo i found the 6 you lost!!!!!

glo becareful take care of yourself and keep in contact with deb and the dr. office. i don't have any advice because as soon as they took my fill out when i was to tight i got immediate relief. don't try to tough it out if you think you are too tight get back up there but hopefully it is just you are swollen and it will improve as the day goes on.
