Sandra, where are you? This new look to our site is difficult to navigate. Hope all is well with you - where did your picture go?

Sandra, I have been looking for you. I hate this new site, I can't find any body. How are you doing? Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? Are you still writing your blogs, because I can't find anything here. I want our old site back.
Please let me know how you are doing. Eileen

Hi, Sandra! I missed readiing your blogs on this new site. I hope all is going great with your weight loss. I am still figuring out how to use this site. I went to post a blog today and typed it up and forgot to hit publish. So....I said the heck with it. Anyway, hope things are going great!

I missed my six month bandaversary which was 11/26. I was at my mom's who saw me for the first time since before my surgery. She was very suprised when I walked into baggage claim at DFW. I got a lot of positive reinforcement at her house (not from her but from everybody else). Since I decided to do lap band back in January I'v lost about 84 lbs. I'm under 200 for the first time in 6 years and I wear size 14 pants. My arms are horrendous and I am going to focus on them with a trainer (still in 16W), but I'm very very pleased with it all. I had a terrible Thanksgiving. I am still very reactive to stress, and I was stressed out that morning trying to get everything done. At 52, you would think I wouldn't feel like a bad child around my mom, but I do. I took the first tiny bite of mashed potatoes and it CAME RIGHT BACK UP. Luckily in my napkin, but it was like potato slime. Nothing else would work so I just pushed food aound my plate and pretended to eat but my aunt and daughter caught me. I got better by Friday but I realize how stress affects me. This never used to happen. I just got home last night and I feel somewhat better. We worked out every day but Thursday and I lost another 4 lbs last week so I'm happy. My goal is to be at goal by my 1 year anniversary which is 6 months and about 50 lbs away. I have to go back to work this afternoon; I have an interview with a company closer to home this morning. Nice to "see everyone" again and wish me luck today!

I need a break. From my diet...not my Band.

I look to the vacation as the ability to "take a break" from whatever might be stressing you. Your vacation sounds wonderful! Have a great time, relax and enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving! -
Everybody is different, but I really didn't feel a thing. I mentally prepared myself for some pain and discomfort and I didn't have any. My fill amounts are pretty agressive. I had 4.0 in the band at surgery, and they put 2.0 in the first fill. The PA had no problem finding my port, drew out the liquid that was in, added 2.0 ccs and then put it back. I didn't feel it at all. I had to drink a small cup of water in tiny sips after the fill, and I stuck to liquids for 2 days and then smushies for another couple days. I had my second fill about 4 weeks later (another 1.25 ccs) with the same experience. This was about 3 months ago and haven't had any fills since. I felt nothing more than I have getting blood drawn. You'll do great! Keep us updated..........

Travel safe and enjoy your family! I'm "thankful" to have "met" you and have the ability to gain strength, insight and motivation through our blogs. Happy, Happy Thanksgiving and keep up the fantastic work!!! Sandy

It's so good to hear that everything is going well for you. I pray you have safe travel in December and you are able to get your workout in. I purchased a min-stepper a few years ago which is very easy to transport and store. It's been very affective tool with toning up my butt and thighs.
You are such a sweet and wonderful band friend to have. Keep in touch hugs back at you!:thumbup:

I'm doing good, just kind of figuring out exercise and the personal trainer stuff. I'm going to be traveling a lot for work in December and I'm focused on making sure I eat right and get in some cardio every day! I hope you are doing great; thank you for checking in! Hugs!!!!!

I love seeing your posts come up, and (of course) reading them. They always resonate with me no matter what is going on with me. I struggle to find anyone live to "talk to" about seemingly minor band issues and I've always found that I always can get information, support or a shoulder at this site. Feel good about you, and the tremendous work you do for yourself and the people around you..........
