    I'm here to help...

    I'm very impressed with your successes. I've been banded since December 2009, and I'm down 56 pounds. I've been sick with the seasonal nasty cold for about 3 weeks. I'm feeling much better this week, but my stomach is really bothering me. I have what feels like lots of gas pain and some diarrhea and some hellacious heartburn which I have not had in the past. Sorry, if TMI, but I just wanted to get your take on what could be going on. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much

    December Delights 2009

    I feel like I'm not losing as much as I should. I'm exercising and eating less, but still only lose 4-5 lbs a month. I was losing more at first. In April I lost 10 pounds and in May I lost 12, now I'm lucky to lose 1 lb a week. Any advice?
  4. Thank you so much for the pic comment. I hope you have much success with your surgery. If I had to do it all over again...I would.

  5. Hey girl, good to hear from you and you look awesome. I know what you mean about being busy. Work has been very busy for me for the past few weeks and probably won't let up until I go on vacation in August. I've been working and keeping myself busy since my daughter if gone for the next 6 weeks with her dad. Missing her terribly, but very nice not to have to run all over the place for any sports practices or school stuff.

  6. Thanks for checking on me... look at you! weight is just falling off. I've been super busy but things are winding down, so I'll be around more. How's everything going with you?

    6 months with my band

    In just 6 short days, I will have been banded for 6 months. I feel like December 18, 2009 was kind of a rebirth for me and a lease on a new life. If I had to do it over again...I would. I'm down 46 pounds. My goal is 50 by the 6 month mark. There's still time. I am ever so grateful to all of my lapband talk friends, especially the December Delights. I feel like I've always had your support and enjoy ever second I spend reading your blogs, and posts.
  8. I am missing your blog entries. I get a lot of enjoyment out of them. What are you up to these days? Hope all is well.

    Ladies, Are you suffering with extreme tightness during that time of the month? Yesterday I got stuck on some baked beans I chewed very good and the bite wasn't very big. It hurt like crazy and would not go down so it had to come back. Since then I have some real pain right around the small incision at the top. Today, I am very tight and still some pain, just wondering if I might have pulled something when it came back.
  10. Thanks so much for the compliment!!! It is a process and I'm working through it. I think I might have hit my sweet spot. Not hungry at all anymore. You look great yourself.

  11. Wow, you look great..God Bless..M-

    Question for women that have been banded!

    Every month I have the same issue. I can keep things down, but I can eat very little. It's like the band tightens up around that time every month. I have asked the girls in my support group and none of them have this issue. I thought it was just me. Just know you are not alone with this one.
  13. Girl, I'm getting so I want to have my pic taken all the time. I was not like that before. I can certainly feel a boost to my self esteem.

  14. Woo hoo look at the new pics! Love it! - And I totally agree - slow and steady...that's how we're going to win this!
