Okay ladies today is a little better so far but it has just started Nat I am excited to hear from you again good job on checking in well I think I need a fill because I can now eat about 2 cups of food when before I was eating 1/2 of a cup. I am still not sure how much I should be able to eat my old doc said 2 cups was really not that much and I don;t need a fill I am just not sure I agree it is so sad that children have to worry about being shot while learning. My heart breaks for the families steph thanks for your words they helped you are alot like me I am a scardy cat too if I am alone and yesterday was a uneasy day any ways I am a little nervous because today I am off to MTSU a large college in TN I always worry about copy cat crimes anywho I wanted to let you know this month issue of Cosmo with carrie underwood on the cover has a whole article on Lap band or they call it gastric banding it was a pretty good article talked about the struggles of becoming a thin person and all the new attention it brings check it out Oh I am not weighing anymore than once a wk I am putting my scales in the garage

Today has been the day from pure hell I called the new doc I was soposse to start seeing in two wks to do my fills because my other doc dropped my insurance. well his nurse called and said they could not take me because not accepting my insurance. I am now without a doctor and need a fill bad. Also I was on my way into the bank and it is super windy today and my ck that was written for almost 400 bucks blew off into the wind I chased it never caught it. I called the bank for a stop pay maybe it will work. I also tried to go out to lunch with hubby things did not go well I threw up because of trying one tiny bite of steak ... also after not snacking for three days what do I get got on the scale gained three lbs ... I am so pissed off right now I have to go scream

Brandi you go girl that is awesome 12's are a great size steph I am with you on loving the support here I am afraid I may not be heard at a reg. support group. kirsten we are close in weight that is awesome I have not snacked one time today go me Brandi you are right if u keep doing what u are doing u will be at goal in no time

Nat so glad to hear from you I am so jealous of that closet. I have wanted one of those. Please check in daily. I am with boo why do we get sick alot we are on vitamins kirsten good luck on date night

steph hope you get to feeling better congrats on the nsv way to go claudia and other ladies this is my plan no snacking for the rest of this month. I am bad about snacking just a couple of bites of popcorn or candy and yesterday I decided to track my snacking calories where before I felt I could not be eating that much. before I was tracking the snacking I got in about 1000 calories so I tracked the snacking yesterday and up to 1400 with snacking. I about fainted. I have heard it takes two wks to change a habit so I will be scrapbooking when I get the urge to eat or snack I should say. If I can do this the rest of the month maybe I can make a new habit. I don't wanna say no snacking forever because then I will make myself feel sorry for me and eat a snack. I swear the mindgames we play. So claudia and all other bandsters let me be a lesson count those 5 wheathins in calories they add up. on to other news we have just gotten a support group for weight loss here in town not just for surgery weightloss but all kinds. It is a place that offers healthy shakes and snacks and support the ad says AA type meeting weekly but for weight loss thought that sounded neat may try it ... My scale is stalled but that is okay I Have four lbs so far this month

Kay- good job on checking in way to go boo- I can not wait until plus size stores are not in my future. I don't think I will need a reminder because I will prob post it on my car to show off :heh: Transformer good to hear from you glad all is well claudia u be good drinking and stay safe okay well have a great weekend ladies

jill you are I are so close in weight loss and my April goal is even the same as yours you know even though my weight loss has been slower than some I am still proud of myself my doc told me my weightloss would be slower because of coming off diet pills but I did not want to hear it he was right

Boo good luck and congrats on the weight loss please let us know the test results steph I am with you I am always bored at home but hate work lost two more lbs this morning go me

I hate grocery shopping with all the after Easter candy on sale. I broke down and bought one bag of sweets which should last for some time. I treat myself once a wk. I am so glad all of yall did good on Easter Brandi I am glad u ate those good gurl HOpe nat and kay r fine

I survived Easter harder to do than I thought. We had some yummy food choices but I ate very little and had only a couple bites of dessert :hungry: . My family did notice I have lost weight and also how little I eat. They all know I am banded so you know how that goes. My husband 's stepmom was like man I am happy I did not have one of those bands because if I did it would have popped off and hit me in the head by now because I eat too much. I said no you would be throwing up in the toliet. My sis in law who had gastric bypass in 12/05 was there she was bragging about how she can feel her butt bone finally and stuff she ate like a starved prisoner a whole plate of food and then went and threw up. She said to me u still throwing up I said no I think I am getting used to it finally she said oh u never get used to it .I wanted to say well don't eat a plate of food and u want throw up. My kids both found the golden and silver eggs and they were the smallest in the hunt. My oldest who is 5 said that is the only egg I am looking for thankfully he found others on his hunt :humble: Ladies my scale is finally going down :bump2: I am so thrilled I have been losing a couple lbs a wk. I am so happy hope it does not stop anytime soon:Banane33:

Ladies this was so funny Hope yall have a happy Easter

B Man I agree with the docs charts I believe they are a bit too low for me seeing my neice who runs track and plays sports and too think she is unhealthy it is hard for me to believe anywho since I go to my doc on April 30th I am going to ask him I totally agree about the scale thing loved the pic

bannannie that makes me feel better oh yall I changed my ticker my goal is not 150 anymore I am 5'7 and that is too skinny my neice who is 17 weighs 155 and she is 5'7 way too skinny my new goal is 170 may adjust later the last time I loved my body I weighed 190 almost 3 yrs ago

thanks kirsten and claudia I am feeling some what better oh guys I have great news remember how I told yall about my doc not taking my insurance anymore and I was to pay out of pocket 450 dollars well I did my research and found a new doc that accepts my insurance about ten mins from my old docs office I am thrilled one thing that scares me is he doesn't use fluroscope for fills my old doc did and I loved that His nurse says he rarely misses the port but I have some organs I would hope he did not hit when looking for my port he he does yall docs use fluro

claudia I am doing well I am trying to get over a stomach virus so not much eating lately I have not been to the gym all wk and I am not going again till monday I took this wk off because my children are out of school. hope everyone is having a good friday claudia I am so happy your neighbor noticed your weight loss I have to tell yall the funniest story ever this lady that I know whom I don't care a whole lot for asked me the other day is something different about you I was like not sure maybe my hair trying to play off the weight loss thing well anyways she finally oh I know you look like you are getting shorter she said u may need to see a doc about that I about died right there of laughter b man sorry bout them scales I hate them I too can not believe no candy since dec. I eat one piece a wk 2 keep me sain I like sugar free carb free candy it is actually good I know what has hurt my weight loss I am a salt person I eat to much of it I have stopped eating so much of salt and the scale moves hooray well I am going back to bed love yall ladies ps va you are lookin good girlfriend

Hey everyone and a Happy Monday to you all. I am so thrilled my scale is finally moving almost daily now. I know I should not weigh daily but I have always done it out of habit.
