Life is a Highway, and it's going my way!!
imaluckydog commented on Astrasmom's blog entry in Blog 78235
This post made my day Thank you, you are an inspiration to all. I hit a few speed bumps and I do not like how it feels. Best wishes imaluckydog -
Ok act as if you feel better! It is all a state of MIND so put yourself in the mind-set. It will help. Refocus on things you like and keep busy. I am sipping a drink right this minute and I can feel ya!!! Just hang in and all will work out. Best wishes imaluckydog

I am sooooo proud of you!! Do you think I can call the dressing room a work out LOL. I mean it really was... You so inspire me. I am always attracted to the positive people on this site. Thank you so much you have a gift and you inspire. Best wishes on your journey. I am on vacation in Vermont and I can't wait to go home and make my own food. Eating out is so stressful and I always make the wrong choice. I need to get focused. Thanks imaluckydog Kathy

Best wishes to you my friend. I got my third fill and that did it for me..... I have never been so full in all my life. To the point that some days I think I should go get an un-fill. But this is when the band is working for me. I did not even feel the results of the 3rd fill until 4 to 5 days later so go slow and be careful if you know what I mean. I never feel hungry and that can be bad. I need to force myself the eat three to four times a day to get in all the protein. Glad to hear you are getting back on track we need to help each other out. I know you can do it. Just look at how well you have done so far. Here's 3 cheer's for you and your success. imaluckydog

Week 40...I Got A New Attitude & New Pics Too!
imaluckydog commented on Lapband LaLa's blog entry in Lapband LaLa
Great Post!!! Glad you are so happy it makes me smile and I am so happy for you Great new pic. I am also enjoying the new and smaller me. I have been able to buy clothes and choose the ones I want to keep. That is so new for me. It was a real work out at the store yesterday! Trying on clothes is hard work! I must have been in the dressing room 20 times I just found so many nice things that fit it was just blowing me away. I only got a few things because I still have a ways to go. I tell you these feel good days are here to stay. Best wishes and Happy Birthday to you little Lady. imaluckydog -
OMG you are such a great mother and wife!!!! Please pat yourself on the back a few times and tell yourself you are wonderful and do it looking in a mirror. Time for yourself Please!! I feel we mommies get so little appreciation it is pathetic. I had two children who would not listen or mind and I had to come up with some interesting ways to creatively discipline. Mine were Irish twins so close in age the girl potty trained before the boy!! LOL and the boy is 9 months older. You have not failed at anything, it will all happen in time you are correct on that one. You should be so happy with yourself and it is hard when others do not recognize how hard you have been trying. I am proud of you and we can help motive each other. I have learned along time ago I get what I need in the way of "feel goods" on this site. It works for me. I have been there and done that and I assure you, you are doing a GREAT job. Mine are both in college now but it seems like yesterday;-) Best wishes imaluckydog

Keep up the great effort. I am addicted to Broccoli soup and I am making it tonight when I get home from vacation, I can't wait. I try and make all my own foods it has helped in my wt. loss. I have a really good broccoli soup recipe if you want one? I did not have much pain in shoulders but sounds like the walking will help. Stick to the rules and all will be well. Best wishes, imaluckydog

All will work out well. Speedy recovery and take time to heal. Best wishes imaluckydog

Sounds to me like you are creating your own destiny Yaaa you!!! As for the other end it is a bummer. I think many of us can identify with these feelings. Best wishes and stay positive it has helped me so much. imaluckydog

For me a huge learning curve on what I can and cannot eat. It is now my way of LIFE and I love it. Best WL tool out there. My sister had GBP 9 years ago and she lost lots but has also gained some back. I have been going by the book. Just call me an over achiever. LOL Keep me posted and we can be friends. Also go to Fat Frog Diary she has many recipes and read The Sweet Spot blog these are two of my favorites. Best wishes, Love Kathy imaluckydog

I live in Marblehead Ma. I have found that cooking and eating my own cooking has helped me so much. Many of my friends eat a lot of frozen meals the low cal and WW brand but They have way to much salt for me and I am a way better cook. I mass produce foods on the week ends and freeze my own individual portions. I think I save money too. I chose not to tell any of my co workers only my family knows. I have 100 percent support. It has really been very easy. I have been at this a very long time now. Even through I feel the time has gone by fast. This is not like a DIET. Everyone is different and certain foods are ok for some and NOT for others.

Hi your journey sounds a lot like mine did. I have been banded 8 months now. June 29 was my day. If you have any questions I may be able to help. I have found that blogging is helpful. I have two college kids and 1 black lab. Best wishes imaluckydog Kathy

OMG follow the rules you do not want something getting stuck. I have been banded for 8 months and just had my first serious stuck situation and now for two days I am weak and unable to eat much of anything. I am trying to get a yogurt in me now. It means going back to the basics for me. I got lazy after 8 months and took matters into my own hands oohhpppsss. Hope I feel better soon. imaluckydog

Look at the big picture. Stop weighing yourself. It made me CRAZY. I have been banded now for 8 months and have lost 80 pounds. Some months it went faster but 10 pounds a month is like crazy right? Every month was different it stalled for a long time and one morning you wake up and it is like where did it all go? Best wishes imaluckydog

Best wishes all will go well. Take the time you need to heal. imaluckydog

Most important take the time to recover. Do not rush back heal yourself inside and out. I needed way longer than most but I am so glad I gave myself the needed rest time. Best wishes imaluckydog

Just called Lahey Sixth floor Central waiting room.
The time is 6 to 7:30. I will be there. Let me know if you want to do dinner first? Love Kathy imaluckydog

I can go on the 23 of February. Tuesday night I will call and find out what time it is. I have my next visit with Pam and the Nutritionist on March 10. Lahey cancelled my February appointment because Corrine left and they needed to reschedule. I have been struggling a little so a group meeting will be helpful. I would like to see the Dr.s if they are there? I have been happy with my journey so far I have not set a weight goal yet. I am liking my new size of clothes and trying on clothes is so much fun these days.
Would you be interested in meeting at Legals for dinner? The one in the mall? If not no biggy I will meet you at the meeting. Look forward to meeting my June band Buddy.
Love Kathy imaluckydog

You will been fine. Yes there may be pain but again you will be fine. It is a journey and a great one at that. It has changed my life in six months I am a different looking and feeling person. I am very happy and I can work with this tool and it works for me. Follow the rules and all will go well. Best wishes on your journey. imaluckydog -
Best wishes and you can say anything here on this site, we are all listening and may share too. You are blogging for all the RIGHT reasons. Best wishes on your WLS I had mine in June 29 and it has changed my life. My goal was to go skiing again and I have been six time already this winter. All your dreams can come true. All the best imaluckydog

You can do this!!! YES YOU CAN... Set your sights on the rest of your life as a way of life. You must play with your band not diet with your band that may not work. For me, I was never successful on a diet. Sometimes I feel like "Dory" on Finding Nemo the movie " No eating here tonight we're on a DIET" because I cannot eat that much food. The power of positive thinking to you my LB friend. We can create our own destiny one food choice (bite) at a time. I am happy to say, You are doing well and I wish you all the very best. I am not sure I remember Bandster Hell very much. I probably never thought that much about it. I do remember being in LIMBO for quite a while. So for heaven's sake do not worry about a lb. or two it will fall off before you know it. I have been full for a very long time now and I am starting to like it. Best wishes imaluckydog

I didn't realize it was going to be this hard.
imaluckydog commented on bluestategirl's blog entry in Blog 70748
Be at peace with your band! I do not eat sugar because that and soda are my trigger foods for me. I choose NOT to eat sugar and soda on a daily basis. If I find my mouth hugging a warm and melty sort of chocolate in my mouth I enjoy and let it go I think I have had 3 in seven months. This has been harder for me now that I have had three fills and I am as full as I ever wanted to be. Be patient with yourself and for goodness sake do not get on that scale it will drive you crazy my friend. I have only been weighed at my Dr. office I do not want to get caught in the cycle of on again off again. My head is doing better this way and I eat everything and anything I want. Only a little of it because I get so full so fast. Personally I cannot wait for March 10 when I get weighed again. The weight is falling off because I can feel it. Peace with yourself and all will work it's way out. Best wishes imaluckydog
