I so agree i have seen your photos too you are a doll. Some people just have to say mean things just to make them feel better.

I think i have good restrition but i can't eat any type of meat that is shreded. I tryed pulled pork (my favorite). Had the same thing happen to me. Tryed pot roast same thing. I for some reason can't eat if it is shreded but i can eat it if it is solid like a pork chop or a chicken breast.

Ok so i need some advice. I am going clubing this weekend in Atlantic city with my friend. Well for the first time since prom (like 10 years ago) i am wearing a dress. I found this really cute black club dress. My legs are not in the best shape i mean they are getting skinny but i mean i have bad veins and they are pasty white. My mom said i should wear pantyhose but i thought now adays that pantyhose are not in style. I know a lot of 20 something girls have never even put on a pair on. I don't what to look like i am 60 wearing a pair to a club but maybe a nude pair of thigh highs just to make them look smooth and so you don't see my veins. What do you 20 something girls think. should i just throw on some self tanning and say F*** it who cares what they look like or do you like i should wear a nice nude pair of thigh highs.

thanks everyone for your response i bought some Jenkins self tan well it is lotin that over a couple of days gives you some color and it isn't bad. I am so fair that self tanners turn me orange but this one isn't to bad because it is more a lotion then anything. I think i will skip the hose and go bare. If they don't like it then they don't have to look at my legs

Everything has been going so great. I had a fill 3 weeks ago and i have been feeling great but then my shoulder pain returned worse then ever. I have had it the whole time i have been banded but not this bad maybe my band is to tight and my tubing is rubbing to much againest my diaphram. It was so bad today i had to take a pain pill. I can usually handle it. It is ususally a dull pain but not today i feel as if someone is stabbing me. Dam side effects.

So i took a deep breath yesturday and packed up everything. I had to stacks of clothes one for goodwill and one for storage. The really big stuff i sent to good will and the one size up i packed up to keep. I realized i have nothing to wear i have been wearing the same 4 outfits. So time to go shopping. I have to admit this has been the hardest thing i had to do since getting banded. I just couldn't let go of the past but i feel so much better now that the stuff is out of my closet.

I am down 1 lb this week. I haven't posted my friday weigh in in a couple of weeks but i have lost 7lbs in the last 3 weeks so not bad. I only have 6lbs to go before i an in wonderland can wait hope to get there by valentines day.

It all depends on the company that makes the clothing yes some sizes are bigger today then they were years ago. Companys say that women will pay more money for a smaller size on the tag so they slap a size 12 tag on a size 14 pant. But not all companys do this. Women clothing sizes are not regulated. Only men's sizes are so a size 34 waist has to be a size 34 but not womens. That is why we have to try everything on because a size 12 in one brand may swim on you but in another brand may be so tight you can breath. But i say don't live by the size on your tag as long as you feel good.

I am down another 3 pounds so only 7 more pounds to go to my V-day goal and only 7 more pounds to go until i am under 200lbs

I had a great NSV over the weekend. A friend of my got me a gift care to Aeropostale. The first thing that went through my mind was this gift card is going to go to my husband because there is no way i am going to fit anything in that store. Well i decided to go on line to check out their stuff. I found a few things that i liked so i decided order i figured they would fit after i lost a few more pounds ( i was told that the xl fitt like a med). So they arrived over the weekend. I decided to see how they would fit and how much i would need to lose ( i orders and xl and 15/16 pant). Well they fit like the were made for me. My friend wheres a large from this place and i think she is very thin so for me to fit into a xl from here was such a suprise. I have been fitting into a size 16 and xl top from other places but never thought i would fit into cloths from here until i got thiner.

I have lost 75lbs and have not lost one once on my boobies i have lost inches around but not a cup size i am still a full C. I went from 44C to 38C.

That is a lot of food. I can't ever get more then 1 cup down and that is on a good day. And i messure my food so i do know how much i put on my plate. But i have always been able to drink what i want i don't have to take sips. Goes to show you how different everyone is.

Did they fix it when you had your surgery or did they just let it there for you lapband dr to fix?

I am a little late but i am in. I want to be in onderland by 2/14 . So my goal is 14lbs.

Thanks you so much for the complement. I take centuim chewables they are orange flavored. I chew one up right before i go to bed so that way they get digested while i sleep and i don't get that nausea. I also had to do this when i was prego with both kids when i was on a muti couldn't stand to take them during the day.

Take it right before bed. That is the only way i can take mine because i have always gotten bad nausea from vitamins.

I have never vomited (banded since May). I have gotten suck a few times and had bad pain in my chest but never vomited. I feel i am pretty tight too. I chew my food really well and take same bites and never eat over 3/4 cup. so it is possible but everyone's bodies are different

I wondering if anyone has one of these. It goes under you desk at work. I was thinking about buying one they are cheap no more then 40 dollars. I have a desk job and i sit all day long and work on a computer. How many calories do you think you could burn with one of these.

I have been feeling so depressed. Because i havn't lost any weight in the last 2 weeks (yes it has been my fault). I have been killing the christmas cookies. I have a horrible sweet tooth and since being banded i have keep all tempations out of my house well christmas shows up and everything goes out the window. Everyone gives us christmas cookies. And my husband having the highest metabolism know to man can eat pounds of them without gaining an oz (still weighs the same he weighed in high school 176lbs). Well a least i didn't gain and i still enjoyed the holidays. The scale has started to move again. All the christmas cookies are gone. I started to get scared because i started to feel like old habits were coming back these last 2 weeks but i have to remember that i am stronger with the band and i will not go back to old ways because i am loving this new life.

Hello everyone i am the same way i have not lost anything in a week and a half but the great thing is i have not gained. So back on track today i through out all the christmas cookies yesturday i told my husband that they had to go. So my house is back to normal no more junk. I have felt like a stuffed pig for the last few days.

I have been doing so well untill this last week. There has been so much food in my office. Cookies, cakes, dips you name it it is here. I haven't lost this week at all but i haven't gain either so i guess one week out of the year is ok. Back on track starting Saturday. I don't feel bad because i have lost 6 lbs since dec 1 and last year i would have gained 10.

I don't even feel my fills so no. I won't get stuck with a needle just to get stuck with a needle. If a fill is done right it shouldn't hurt but if there is something wrong with your port i could see why it would hurt if it took many times to get the needle in.

I am always really tight in the moring and by supper eat a lot more. sometimes it is hard to get a yogurt down in the morning. I think it is because you go all night without eating so you pouch shrinks a little a night and then it loosens up as the day goes on.
