I'm 51 and I'm not sure they ever end . . . life is a series of good days and bad days and everything in between. I'm sorry you're having a bad day and in my opinion, a once in a while, afternoon in beddie bye is a good remedy! Best wishes for a better tomorrow.

Amen! Good reminder.

I agree with sandy . . .don't rush it. You could really do some damage . . stretch your pouch, etc. Not worth it. Hang in there . . . food is in your future! Nice job so far - keep up the good work.

Hi bubbles, I am 7 weeks post op and feeling great. I can tell you it is well worth the effort. So batton down the hatches, dig your feet in and just say, "I'm going to do this". Best wishes!!

I am sorry you've had a bad experience - I hope it can turn around for you so you can make this the best experience for yourself. Keep in touch with your doctor's office and do as they recommend. Best wishes and come on here for support anytime - we're here!

Welcome aboard! I know you will find, as most of us have, that this is the best decision you've ever made. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, but be sure to give yourself time to heal and be good to yourself while you drink and walk, drink and walk - :-)

My surgeon is also a Christian and I agree, it made a big difference for me. Glad things are progressing for you . . . keep us posted. God bless!

Amen! I agree with Seanamw . . . self talk .. .be strong . ..and look back at what you did initially that made you successful and do it again. Do you have any of your old food journals? Follow them again. Best wishes - you can do it. We are all with you!!

Yeah you! Congratulations. Don't we just love to see those pounds melting away?

I love the Flintstones Complete Chewable. I use that in the morning and then the Centrum Silver chewable in the afternoon. The Flintstones has iron in it that the Centrum does not.

Sounds like you are doing just great - good for you and best wishes!!

Best wishes Loyalfriend . . . be kind to yourself and give yourself time to heal, but luckydog is right - walk whil you're doing it! Can't wait to hear how you're doing. Prayers and hugs .. .

Thanks for your feedback harliquinn, Sandy, Loseit, and lucky . . . you're the best!

Well, I am one of those "haven't had a fill yet" people, so I really appreciate the information! My best to you!!

Aren't daughters wonderful!! :-)

Aren't daughters wonderful?

Well, I am glad you are able to keep your band and hope that the small fills work well. Stick to your plan, it sounds like you have your head on straight and are thinking it through - best wishes!

Doctors . . can't live without them . . .but so time consuming. I pray all of your appointments go well. And I hope your foot straightens around soon, I dealt with blisters a few years ago when I was walking and losing weight - turned out my shoes were actually too big - as I had lost weight, I needed a smaller size, even though it was only over the course of a couple of months - who knew? I am finding myself in the same boat as you as far as a first fill - just don't need it yet and feeling great. Best wishes and God Bless!!

Hang in there hawyn . . it does get better. Can you use some liquid Tylenol at night? That helped me the first week or so . .take care and God Bless!

How exciting to have so many happy events going on - congratulations and take time to ENJOY!!
