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, Deb:
Thank for the comment on my blog.
You have started on a wonderful journey. It will be so amazing to you to see how much weight you will lose in jsut a short amount of time and how wonderful you will begin to feel.
Listen to your doctor and you are well on your way. Let me know how you are doing and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate.

I don't know about you, but I am having a problem navigating this new website.
How was your Thanksgiving? We enjoyed out time in CT with family and friends. I watched what I ate and exercised and came home 3 lbs smaller than when I went up.
Not sure how to post to my blog anymore????

Hi, Rose
Just returned from vacation and I can't figure out how to post to my blog. I don't like this new site - it is confusing.
Had a fabulous time in CT. While I was worried I would gain weight, I ate right and exercised and came home 3.1 lbs less. I couldn't have been happier. 2 lbs and I am in the Onderland. Now, If I can just figure out how to post, I'll be happy.

Your before and after pics are amazing. You are doing a great job. Sometimes we just need a break from things when we get really stresses and you still lost weight. Every stinking ounce is a success. So you move forward now. I hope the fill gives you the kick-start you need. Thanks for the kind words on my blog.

Hi, Rose:
Thanks for the response to my blog. Don't you feel great? I am so looking forward to getting off the rest of my meds, hopefully soon. But not being diabetic any longer is amazing to me. If not for the LB, this would never have happened.
You know, I wish we all lived near eachother so we could just get together and share, laugh and inspire eachother in person. We should have a lap band convention!
Have a wonderful weekend and keep up the good work.

Hi, Rose:
I ended up not needing it yet. So I made an appt to go back on Nov 12th, if needed. The PA said I was doing so well that she didn't want to mess with a good thing. I am losing consistently around 10lbs a month and not hungry between. I am so glad you are doing well. Keep it up.

Hi, Mezzo:
I actually joined the gym a month before my surgery so I was able to do a little walking to help rid myself of the gas. Then I returned to the gym less than 2 weeks after my surgery. I walked on the treadmill at a zero incline at about 2.5 mph and used the new-step machine. If you don't know that that is, you pump your feet forward and back and there you use your arms to push forward and back also. I also used a machine that you sit at and use your arms only called a Sci-Fit machine.
Today I walk the treadmill at a 12% incline at about 3.1 mps. I row, use the 2 machines I listed above, I use the eliptical machine and lift weights. I LOVE THE GYM.
I hope you are doing well and are as happy as I am that I was banded.

Hi, Rose:
Rich, my husband, and were told by my Oncologist that I should join a gym - it would help ward off getting cancer again. I was not interested in a Bally's or LA Fitness. Too much of a "pick-up" joint. But my hospital has a fitness center about 15 minutes from my home/work. So we joined and I really like it. Living in Florida, it is just too hot to walk outside. The gym is helping me get back into shape and the batwings are getting smaller and the stomach is getting tighter.
Tonight I weighed in at 211.6. My next fill is on Monday, so I will see what the doctor has to say.
Have a great night and keep up the hard work. I can't wait until I am out of the 200s. Eileen

Hi, Rose:
I am so glad you had a good weekend away. I am scheduled for my 2nd fill on the 25th, next Monday. I am losing consistently about a pound a week, but I really thought it would be more. I am NOT hungry between meals - luckily. I am not cheating with things I shouldn't eat and I feel really good. However, I really thought I would have a 2-4 lbs loss per week. I don't feel any restriction, but when I start to feel full, I stop eating. I only eat 3 meals a day. Tonight I had a chicken thigh, no skin, no bones, that I cooked stove top with cream of mushroom soup and brocolli. I was stuffed!
I weighed in today at the gym and I'm down to 212.2. I thought I would have been further along. But when I think approx 39 lbs in less than 4 months, I'm doing great. Tomorrow starts week 17. How about you?

Thanks for responding to my blog. I am at the gym 3-4 times a week. I write my weight down on a log every Sunday. I look at 10lbs intervals only because if I had to look at the "LARGE" picture, I think I would get too discouraged.We think alike . Keep up the good work.
