Hi Stonersmom, Where Is Everyone? Ladydi

Hello, As Of July 15, O7 I Had Loss 100 Lbs. I Have Loss 62 Thru The Surgery And As Of Today The Total Loss Is 105 Lbs. Please Add Me. Ladydi, Banded 8-21-06 Thanks, It's Great Being A Member Of This Great Group!! Ladydi

Hi Have Not Been Around For Awhile For They Had Me Blocked At Work And My Home Computer Is Messed Up. I Was So Happy When They Let Me In Today. I Will Be One Yr On 8-21 And So Far I Have Lost 67 Lbs In Almost One Yr. I Am Very Happy About That. The First 6mos Were So Slow And I Thought I Would Never Get There. In Jan I Got My 4th Fill And Boy Am I Filled. Here It Is 7 Mos Later And I Am Still Tight. I Am Averageing About 10 Lbs A Month Now. I Feel So Good. The Last Time I Have Seen 244 Was Around 1978. It's Been A Long Time!! I Went To A Family Reunion This Summer And My Head Got Very Big! I Loved It, Intil My Cousin Took A Pic Of Me Sitting Down. I Asked Him Why He Brought Last Yrs Pics With Him, And He Said "no, That Was Yesterday" It Sure Did Bring My Head Right Back To Normal. I Was Also Hoping That I Would Fit Into The Seat Belt On The Plane Without Asking For An Extension. Well, No, I Had To Ask And That Made Me Real Sad. But, The Plane Was A Continental Express, Only 3 Seats Across, So It Is A Little Small. (thats What I Am Going To Believe Anyway!) I Sure Am Glad I Am Back Online! Miss Ya All! Diane

Can You Please Close This Thread Because I Was Not Aware That There Is Already Another Auguest Thread For Abc. Sorry Thanks Ladydi

Hello All! I Am Going To Start A August Thread. Diane

Wow! You Made It To The 100 Mark. I Have Loss 46 Lbs With The Band And A Total Of 84 Lbs. I Am Going To A Family Reuion On The 13th Of July And Will Be Pretty Close. Only 16 More Lbs But Realisticly, I Hope To Lose At Least 10 Of Those. The Last Time I Saw My Family I Was 56 Lbs Heavier. I Have Told No One Back Home. I Can Not Wait Until Then. I Also Have A Trip In October To See My Daughter In Eugene, Or And Then On To Calif. Have Not Told Them Either. I Hope To Be Down About 30 More. This Will Be Fun! I Have Run Into People Who Have Not Seen Me In Months And They Can See The Difference. They Were Surprised And Happy For Me. The Only Thing I See Is My Face And Neck. I Still See The Fat Woman I Have Always Been. I Sure Hope That Changes. I Was Having Trouble With My Bra Coming Undone While At Curves. I Finally Broke Down And Bought A New One. I Was A 52d And They Put Me Into A 42g. Boy What A Difference. My Girls Are Saluting Now! Diane

Hi There, When Did They Change The Format? I Thought I Was In The Wrong Place. I Was Gone For Over Two Weeks Because I Had A Hole In My Retna And Had Sx. Just Now Back To Work And Using A Computer Again. Sx Went Well. I Had To Keep My Head Down For 10 Days. Could Not Lay Down To sleep. So, I Turned My Chair Around And Placed A Mirror On The Floor And Watched Tv That Way. Also Listened To books On Tape. I Had A Pillow That Kept My Head In One Place When I Slept. The Time Went Faster Than I Thought It Would. I Find Out On Wed If All Is Well. Dr Says Only 30% Of Patients Will Improve Their Eyesight. I Went From 20/20 To 20/80 In Less Than A Yr. Ladydi

Hi, I Am Far Away But I Would Love To Be Part Of Onederland! I Am At 273 From 348. I Have Not Said A Number In 200 For 10 Yrs. I Love Not Saying 300 Anymore!!! Never!!! I Live Near Houston. I Am On My 4th Fill And Can Hardly Eat Anything. I Use To Eat 9 Fish Sticks At A Time With Fries And Now I Am Lucky If I Can Eat 2 With No Fries. Funny, But After I Reach My Limit, I Am Really Not Hungry Anymore. I Have Loss 37 Lbs Since Sx. But 75 Total. I Would Of Liked It To Have Been More, But I Am A Happy Camper! Ladydi

May We All Reach Are Goals For April! Welcome To This Beautiful Month Of Spring! : Ladydi

You Have Already Lost 103 Lbs So It Must Be Working For Ya. If You Were A Newbe, I Would Say Something Different. But As Jack Said, "if It's Not Broke" Your Doing Great!! I'll Be With You Someday! Ladydi

Amen To That Robin! Happy Easter To You All! Without A Possitive Outlook, I Don't Think I Could Of Been As Happy As I Am. I Could Look At All The Bad Things In My Life And Given Up. But I Am Going Forward And Will Be A Normal Weight This Year. Wow, That Sounds Unreal. That Puts A Smile On My Face! Ladydi

I Start My Day With A Protein Drink And Have 2 Pieces Of Cheese With Either 98% Fat Free Ham Or Roast Beef In The Middle. I Have A Fruit Or String Cheese For A Snack And For Dinner, I Can Have 2 Fish Sticks And Thats All I Can Eat. Compaired To What I Use To Eat I Would Think I Would Be Losing A Lot More Weight. I Exercise 3 Times A Week At Curves. Not Losing Fast Use To Upset Me, But Now, I Have Excepted I Will Be Losing And Not How Much I Will Lose. If That Makes Any Sense.

I Too Don't Seem To Be Moving The Scale Back Either. I Am Losing At Least 1 Lb Per Week. I Would Like To Loose 2 But I Am Still Happy. I Guess Its Because I Have So Much More To Loose. I Have A Goal To Be Down Another 25 Lbs By July 10 Because I Have A Family Reunion And I Will Have Lost 70 Lbs Since Anyone In My Family Had Seen Me Last. No One Knows About The Band. I Wanted To Show Up And Say Surprise! I Know I Will At Least Be Close To That Goal By Then. I Was 320 When They Seen Me Last And I Hope To Be Close To 250. I Am At 277 Now. I Remember I Use To Accidently Say I Was In The 200's And Then Correct Myself. Now I Can Really Say It And Its True. It Is Still Hard To Believe! Ladydi

Happy April! It's Time For A New Thread. Ladydi

Hi All, I Have Not Been On For A While. Love All The Storys. Funny! I Am Not One To Go Shopping. But I Could Not Stand It Anymore And Went To See What Size I Am Now. I Was A 34 Dress And Tried On A 26 And It Was Loose. I Tried On A 3x Pant And It Was Too Big So I Have To Go To A 2x Which Is Still A Little Big But I Bought It And It Looks Great. My Size Was 6x And My Tops Are Now 3x. I Was Very Happy As You Can Imagine. I Have To Have Surgery Again. It Seems I Have A Hole In My Retna. If I Don't Have It Repaired I Might Not Get My Sight Back At All. He Only Says A Probable 70% Chance If I Have The Sx Now. The Only Problem Is For 10 Days After You Have To Be Looking At The Floor 24/10. No Tv And I Will Have To sleep With My Head On A Tv Table And A Pillow Which Will Hold My Head In That Position. Talk Soon, Ladydi

Robin, What About Ins Paid Fills, Are We To Stay Where We Are? I Wonder If They Are Doing This Because It Might Be Cheaper For Non Ins To Do In The Dr Office. I Hope So For Your Sake! I Really Like The Thought Of Maybe Running Into You, Like Last Time. We Still Need To Get Together Soon. I Can't Wait Until My Port Moves Down A Bit. Can You Believe You Only Have 35 Lbs To Go? I Can't Wait Until I Can Say That!! Diane

I Lost 10 For Jan And Hope To Do The Same In Feb! Thats My Goal. I Still Have Over 100 To Lose But Don't Think Of It That Way. 10 Lbs At A Time. Everyday Is Different As Far As What I Can Eat. All I Can Eat From A Fast food Place Is A salad. Anything Fried Or Pasta, Basicly All The Things I Should Not Be Eating, I Cant. I Am Happy About That, For That Is What Gets Me In Trouble. I Do Love My Baand!! Diane

I Love The Idea Of Putting Money In A Jar For Every Pound And For Working Out. I Won't Be At My Goal By July, I Hope To Be Down A Total Of 90 Lbs, For We Are Having A Family Reunion And I Want To Surprise All My Family Who Seen Me Last Yr Still Big. Then, When I Do Get To My Goal I Want To Take Atrip. Maybe Two, One With My Grandchildren To Walt Disney World So We Can Walk All Over And I Will Feel Geat! Then A Cruise Somewhere. Sure Makes A Person Feel Great Just Thinking About It. Ladydi

Robin, I Have Lost 9 Lbs Since The 3rd Of This Month. Hurray! A Total Of 21 LBS Since Sx And A Total Of 59. :nervous I Am Further Behind Than You, But I'm On My Way! :clap2: I Am Off Tue-thurs But Have To Work During The Weekends. I Am Off By 4pm On Sat. I Live In Seabrook And Work In Baytown. Just Let Me Know Where And When. Even If I Do Not Hit That 50 Mark, I Want To Met All Of You. Lady Di

Bjean.....it Was True Before But After The Last 8 Yrs Of Bush, I Truely Belive Obama/clinton Will Make It Over Rep.

Robin, I Have Lost 6 Lbs Since Our Fill And I Am Happy About That! I Think I Am On My Way. It's Funny, I Don't Think About Food Like I Use To. I Am Trying Not To Eat Anything After 7 Pm. Oprah Thinks That Is A Key. I Eat Earlier About 5 And Then Have A Snack About 6:45. I Actually Like To Exercise Also, Which Really Surprises Me. It Is So Nice To Be Excited Again About Losing Weight!! Diane

You All Sound So Happy And Losing! I Got My 4th Fill And I'm Not Sure What It Is Suppose To Feel Like But I Think I Do Have Restriction. I Have Loss 3 Lbs Since I Had My Fill Last Wed. I Too Am Happy! We Are On Are Way!!! Diane

Hi Robin, It Was So Cool To Meet You. It's Nice To Be Able To Put A Face To A Name. You Made My Day! My Goals: 1) Get Back To Exercising (had To Stop Because Of My Leg And Ankle Per Doc) 2) Want To Lose At Least 10 Lbs A Month (i've Been Very Slow Since I Got The Band, But Have Had My 4th Fill And I Pray This Will Be The One!!!) I Have A Family Reunion In July And If I Make My 10 Lbs Goal, I Should Be Down To 225 Which Would Be Great. Last Time I Saw My Family I Was 320, So There Will Be A Shock Factor. Diane

Robin, Glad To Hear Your Baby Is Doing Better And Home For The Holidays! I'm Glad That You Are Beginning To Use Your Knee More And With Not As Much Pain. Just Take The Excercising Slow And Don't Push. At Least I Would Be Afraid To Do So. Robin, Do You Have A Total Of 1.7cc Or Are You At 3.3cc ? Just Woundered. Diane
