Girl friend my little band buddy so glad to hear from you. I have been on vacation for a while now. Getting ready for the kids to go back to school. I am sick, did I say SICK of doing laundry my kids wear five outfits a day. I am not doing any more!!!! That's it. I just love the person who is so fat they could sell shade. I already started my Christmas shopping I can't believe it but I did!!!! Thanks again for helping me to keep my paws out of the cookie jar. I am going for a fill on August 26, boy do I need one. I still can eat just about any thing. I'd try horse but I know thats just not RIGHT. Only kidding. I can eat like one that's for sure. Good to hear from you. Best wishes imaluckydog Kathy

Hi, I had the reflux at night. It would wake me up from a nights sleep and be in my throat and chest. Check with your doctor next visit. I was told by members on this site about papaya enzyme I got it a GNC a chewable tablet. It helps to digest proteins. You may also be eating too late then going to bed to early. I was told no more food later than 6:30 7:00 at night your body needs time to digest a meal. I was banded June 29 we are band buddies. Thanks for helping me keep my paws out of the cookie jar. Good luck, Blogging is fun. imaluckydog

Pat yourself on the back you are doing a great job parenting. It is hard for the little ones to go off to school. Leave you at home and go away from you, the safe and loving mommy that you are. Listen and hear what it is the 5 year old is going through. Validate the child's needs and let them know, you know just how hard it is for them. Let them tell you about what they like or do not like. They will realize you care and they will want to tell you more. Set your limits and do not back down. You have a life too. Seize the moment. Best wishes I hope I have helped? My kids are 19 and 21 and off the University of Vermont in 5 days. Yippeeee. I will miss them and not their laundry five outfits a day.......is five too many. Thanks for helping me keep my paws out of the cookie jar. imaluckydog Kathy

Been there, done that, no big deal. Best wishes to you all will happen in good time. Good luck. imaluckydog Kathy

My family is so much more healthy today. I cook better foods and eat so much less. Best wishes to you. I have only been banded 2 months now and lost almost fifty pounds. imaluckydog Kathy

I was banded on June 29. I am feeling for you right now. This is most unfortunate. I hope you feel better soon. My husband was told by my Doctor that 10% of his patients may have a complication and to keep a close eye on me. I did run back to Dr. the third day because I had trouble keeping food down. I changed liquid proteins and slowed way down and did better. You are in my thoughts. Have a restful vacation. imaluckydog Kathy

Thanks. imaluckydog

You go girl ROCK this LB house... Yes it has helped. I have not had my paw in the cookie jar since day 1. They can get moldy on the table so then you really will not eat them. LOL I am only 2 months post op and your post helps. Thanks Best wishes imaluckydog Kathy

Hi, Oh they will fall off that happened to me. I am 2 months post op and the food is not important any more. It is all about what I can do with this new found energy for life. I have a sewing machine and I refuse to pay for new clothes just yet. I am taking all my clothes in. In one pair of shorts I lost an entire pocket. I do not care I have never been happier in my life. imaluckydog

I am a dreamer too. This dream is my reality thank goodness. I too can eat only a few foods and live life quite satisfied. I wish I could eat cereal I can not I tried. ;-(.... That is one thing I miss the most oh and FRESCA. I have not had a FRESCA in 2 months. I have never been happier in my life. Thanks for sharing imaluckydog Kathy

Best wishes and good luck on Monday I will be thinking of you. imaluckydog

Best Wishes. I am now 2 months post op and have never felt better in my life. I am able to do so much more and have lost almost 50 pounds with ease. imaluckydog Kathy

What a great product!!! I love the fact they have warnings on the box. Only kidding I have used this product and agree a better choice for my family than the other oily mixes out there. I have not tried anything like this since I got banded. I am happy with a chocolate nibble melting on my tongue. I am a major chocoholic. imaluckydog

I love your post, I love all of you SW's... I am a member for sure. I will not be able to get on a scale until August 26 at the Dr. office, I have been eating like a horse so I have a fat head today. Only three meals no snacks and lots of water and iced tea. Boy, can I still eat, I stop when I get the feeling,(you know) before that other feeling when you know what happens. LOL I had two servings of the most wonderful zucchini lasagna tonight I never missed the pasta. Some days I have restriction and somedays I don't!!! My head is always worrying about what the scale will say. I love your site BG because I keep my PAWS out of the cookie jar when I am at my computer. You have been so helpful. Thanks so much for all the sharing. It has really helped me. I am only 2 months post surgery and I feel great. The BEST EVER!!!!! I went to water jogging for the first time, that was a sight to see!! Me in a bathing suit. I was able to help save this elderly lady who went under the water as she lost her balance or bearings in the deep end. No one saw her go under (only me). NOT even the life guard saw her....OMG she the LIFE GURAD was texting on her phone and never saw what happened. Never even got out of her chair. The water jogging instructor finally jumped in when I yelled this lady needs HELP! Now picture this I am helping this frail elderly woman and I am very large and the instructor who is larger than I am jumps in and nearly swamps the helpless woman. I guess I was supposed to be there to help this person. Not sure if I want to go back yet to water jogging. It was a real work out physically and emotionally. Kathy imaluckydog to have friends like you.....

I teach sewing!!! LOL to little kids. I just love your quilt what a great idea. I am stealing that safe idea. Nice work. I love the dragon, so cool. You have been busy. I need a fill. I can eat way to much. I am trying the zucchini lasagna tonight for dinner. Glad to hear from you. imaluckydog Kathy

Great to hear from you. I am also doing as well. Close to 50 pounds but not yet, I will hopefully be down there at next weigh in on August 26. I have had a few stuck moments and that is not as pleasant. I did survive and live to remind myself to slow down I eat too fast, way to fast. Best wishes imaluckydog Kathy

DITO !!!!!! imaluckydog

Best wishes and speedy recovery. I am sure you will do well. Conrats!!! imaluckydog Kathy

Life is but a Dream!!! Row, Row, Row, your boat gently down the stream... Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, life is but a DREAM...... I am happily seven weeks post op. I have had some very, very, very good days and only two days I care to forget!!! I went to the Nutritionist today and the first thing she did was weigh me. Yippee DOWN, DOWN, DOWN. She even had the nerve to ask me if I was eating. I told her I was and that it takes me about 45 minutes to eat. Yes, I do belong to SWA. (Scale Whore Anonymous) You must know that club??? Well I am the member that weighs her shoes at home on a fish scale, so I know how much to take off when I get there. I am on the better than average weight loss track she said to me. That must mean I am doing well!!! I feel WELL!!!!! I guess that means I’m DOWN my stream just a little more than everyone else!!!!! I am DOWN but not enough for my head. I wanted MORE.. I tell you MORE..... Going Down my stream has been a DREAM, yes I am singing Merrily along. I get my next fill August 26, so I will Row, Row, Row my boat a little faster now. I am so close to wonderland/onederland but not DOWN enough. My goal is to be DOWN there by August 26. Going to the GYM in the AM to get the old body moving. I am going everyday now to the gym. Switching up the time of day may help me move faster down my stream. I must admit I feel so much better today and I am enjoying the gifts of Happiness. I am allowing myself to feel the breeze in my face as I Merrily roll down my STREAM. imaluckydog who is not afraid to swim.

I am sure I have, nothing fits right any more and I am not buying new clothes just yet these will have to do for now. I am thinking about a new hair do as well. You beat me to it Looks GREAT and easy too. You go girl it is all about us now enjoy. Best wishes, imaluckydog Kathy
