IT'S TOO DAM HARD TO FIND GIFFERENT GROUPS THAT I USED TO GO INTO EACH DAY. UNLESS YOU KNOW IF IT IS BLOG NUMBER 222222 , YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR FRIENDS. SORRY LAPBANDER TALK CUT YOU BLEW IT!!!

HI EVERYONE I AM IN A STRANGE FILL SITUATION ALSO. I WENT TO THE DR. WHO IS 3HRS AWAY TO HAVE MY FIRST FILL. WHEN I VAME OUT I DECIEDED THAT I SHOULD EAT SOMETHING BEFORE DRIVING ALL THE WAY HOME. I HAD MY SISTER WITH ME SO WE DECIEDED TO GET A MOTEL ROOM FOR THE NGFHT, JUST SO I COULD BE SURE..WELL AFTRE WE SHOPED TILL WE DROPPED I WAS REALLY HUNGERY. I WAS AFRAID TO EAT TOO MUCH, BUT I ENDED UP EATING AN EGG ROLL AND 7 WONTONS IN MY SOUP. THRY WENT DOWN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY I WENT BACK TO SEE THE DR. AND TOLD HIM I AM NOT RESTRICTED ENOUGH. SO, THEY DECIEDED TO PUT IN 3 MORE CC'S. I COULD ONLY TAKE 2 AT THE TIME SO I LEFT FEELING THAT I'M FINALLY ON THE RIGHT ROAD. LATER THAT DAY WHEN WE GOT HOME I WANTED TO TRY NY NEW RESTRICTION OUT. I MADE A SALAD AND CHICKEN BREAST. I ATE THE WHOLE MEAL AND WAS STARVING A HOUR AFTER THAT!!!!!!! AFTER A DAM GOOD CRY, I CALLED THE FR'S OFFICE THE NEXT DAY. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO BE UPSET, THAT IT TAKES TIME TO FIND THE NIMBER THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU. GUESS WHERE I'M GOING NEXT TUESDAY=== MICHIGAN. I'M GETTING GOOD AT THIS DRIVE FROM CANADA!!!! BYE FOR NOW THANKS FOR LETTING MY RANT. DEBI

HI SANDRA I BELIVE THE MOM THING IS UNIVERSAL. ALL HELL BREAKS LOSE WHEN MOM IS ON HER WAY!!!!!! I'M CONCERNED THOUGH ABOUT YOU SAYING THA T YOU HAVE TO GET TO GOAL BY YOUR BANIVERSITY. YOU HAVE DONE GREAT SO FAR, THAT I WOULD HOPE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ADD MORE STRESS ON YOURSELF BY HAVEING TO GET TO A NUMBER. SURE, AIM HIGH, BUT IF YOU ENDED 10LBS SHORT BY THAT MAGIC DATE YOU WOU;D SEE YOURSELF AS A FAILURE. BASK IN YOU SUCCESS AND ENJOY THE RIDE TO FAT FREEDOM!! TAKE CARE, WE ARE ALL HERE FOR EACH OTHER........ DEBI

I AGREE WITH YOU BARBIE!!!! THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT MY BAND IS MY 1 SISTER AND MY HUSBAND. I WANT IT THAT WAY SO I FEEL I DON'T HAVE ANYONE LOOKING FOR INSTANT RESULTS. ALSO PEOPLE WILL TRY TO SABATOGE YOU AND YOUR WEIGHT LOSS. YOU DON'T NEED PEOPLE SAYING THINGS THAT WILL SWAY YOU FROM YOUR GOAL. I WAS BANDED ON SEPT.29/10. I HAVE GONE FOR 2 FILLS AND STILL HAVE NO RESTRICTION. I'M GOING BACK NEXT TUESDAT TO TRY THIS AGAIN. I HAVE ONLY LOST 3LBS. NOW IF I HAD TOLD THE WORLD ABOUT IT THEY WOULD THINK I SHOULD HAVE LOST 30 LBS. PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ITHAVE NO IDEA THAT THIS IS A PROCESS. IT TAKED TIME TO GET THE JUST AMOUNT OF FILL TO HAVE RESTRICTION. MAYBE WHEN I LOSE MY FIRST 100LBS I WILL SPILL THE BEANS. UNTIL THEN KEEP THE FAITH KIDO, I KNOW I WILL . BYE FOR NOW. DEBI:P

WELL AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!

HI GANG:thumbup: YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT THE PROTEIN SHAKES. I USE THE SLIMFAST SHAKES. WHAT I DO IS POUR 1 SHAKE INTO 2 GLASSES AND PUT THEM IN THE FREZEER UNTIL THEY ARE FROZEN. THEN I TAKE IT OUT AT MEAL TIME AND SCRAPE THEM LIKE A FREEZIE. I KNOW IT SOUNDS SILLY ,BUT THAT WAY IT TAKES ME SOME TIME TO EAT IT AND IT IS A REFRESHING DRINK. YOU DON'T GET THAT FUNNY TASTE SOME OF THE PROTEIN SHAKES HAVE. OTHER THAN THAT I AM JUST TRYING TO BE A GOOD GIRL AND EAT THE RIGHT FOODS. LOL:tt1: THATS ALL FOR NOW. STAY FOCASED AND HAVE A SKINNY DAY. LOL DEBI

SO I HEAR YOU ARE FALLING AND YOU CAN'T GET UP!!!!! :thumbup: I SURE DON'T KNOW MUCH, BUT WE CAN LEARN TOGETHER. I AM IN CANADA AND WAS BANDED IN SEPT29/10, I'M NOT DOING GREAT EITHER, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD A FILL YET EITHER. I GO TO MICHIGAN TO SEE THE DR. ON NOV 22/10. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RESTRICTION SO I CAN'T EAT AS MUCH. TRUST ME, I HAVE VERY LITTLE WILL POWER PLUS I AM HANDICAPPED. I WISH I COULD PUT ON MY HEADPHONES AND GO FOR A WALK. ANYWAY, IF THINGS GET DESPERATE, EMAIL ME ATparkie2232@rogers.com talk soon DEBI:thumbup:

HI THERE I'M SURE 12LBS ARE WATER WEIGHT, BUT DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT. AS LONG AS THEIR GONE, WHO CARES. THATS THE LAST OF THEM AND YOUR ON YOUR WAY TO THE NEW YOU. JUST THINK WHEN YOU HAVE RESTRICTION, YOU WILL BE DOING EVEN BETTER. GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK AND STICK WITH IT. I SURE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, BRT I WILL HELP YOU IF I CAN.:thumbup: HANG IN THERE BABY,!!!!!!

Hi everyone i read the entry from one of our group telling about going for her fill and not having any moatavation. Well i am not a preacher gut, when i read that i remember myself saying the same thing. Then by mistake a doctor crippled me in a hip revision surgery. I would give anything to strap on some headphones and go rocking around 10 blocks if possible. Try to make it fun. Ask for the wii party for christmas. It has all kinds of dance and exercises on it. Like i said i am not preaching. God knows i have made every excuse in the book. Tonight i past a new store in our town. It is selling the most beutiful wedding gows and party dresses i have ever seen. Trust me i came hom knowing full well i will be visiting that store in the near future, and i will be leaving with the most sexiest dress i can find. Best of luck you guys, debi prior weight 307 pre op 301 present 294

HI EVERYONE:thumbup: I'M GLAD TO SEE OTHERS ARE CONFUSED BY THIS WHOLE THING. I WAS BANDED ON THE 29TH AN THOUGHT I THOUGHT I WOULD GO HOME AND START LOSING WEIGHT BUT, INSTEAD I'M BACK TO EATING THE SAME OR MORE:frown: BECAISE I'M STRESSED OUT. I SEE MY DR, ON NOV22/10 AND HOPE TO GET A FILL THAT WILL GIIVE ME RESTRICTION. I'M GOING TO JAMAICA ON DEC13/10 SO I WOULD LIKE TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT BEFORE THEN. HAVE FAITH EVERYONE, WE WILL GET THERE. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I guess we are all in the same boat. It is easy to say stay focasted, but then everyday life comes along and we lose our focas. I was banded on sept 29/10 and was clicking away like wildfire, then i relized that my band was not filled and started eating just like before. Bad idea!! Now i want to mak a better effort to get back to the start again. Instead of swallowing food, food, food i should be thinking about the 12,000.00 i swallowed for the good of my health. P.s. Can someone show me how to get one of those trackers on my file. Lol debi

Yes, i would like to find out more about monthly meetings. Please email me at parkie2232@rogers.com thanks

Yes yes yes!!!! I would love that a lot. Kind of a sisterhood of the incredible shrinking septembers. I still have not figured how to get one of those trackers on my page, i will keep trying. Keep in touch. My name is deborah. Hi gang!!!!

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY. I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU MEAN. BESIDES THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO SWEAR THEIR DEVOTED LOVE, BUT WHO WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SABATOGE YOU THE FIRST DAY YOU FELL OFF THE PROVERBIAL FOOD WAGON. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET ONE OF THOSE TRACKERS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ONE ON MY PAGE?:thumbup:

I have another question. How do you enter one of these sweet trackers? I would like to track my success with my journey. Please tell me how to go about it. Thanks everyone!!

HI EVERYONE I WAS OR AM IN THE SAME BOAT. I FEEL IF PEOPLE KNOW I HAVE HAD THE SURGERY THEY WILL HAVE EXPECTATIONS OF ME THAT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN FULFIL. I WANT TO GO AT MY PACE NOT SOMEONE ELSES. I TOLD ONE OF MY SISTERS WHO CAME WITH ME TO THE STATES FOR SURGERY. I GUESS SHE FEELS SPECIAL THAT I CHOSE TO TELL HER AS SHE IS VERY SUPPORTIVE TO MY SUCCESS.:laugh: I CAN'T THANK EVERYONE ON THIS SITE ENOUGH FOR ALL THE ANSWERED QUESTIONS AND EDUCATION I FIND HERE. CAN'T WAIT TO SHOUT OUT MY GOOD NEWS AS IT COMES ALONG. ONWARD AND UPWARD!!!!

Hi my name is debi. I am from strathroy which is 30 min. From london, i was banded in michigan on sept.29/10. So far, so good. Started at 307 and am at 286. I love it. I would love to talk and get together with other bandsters. Pls tell me how did you handle telling people about your surgery,or did tou keep it on the down low. I would be interested in how others handled it.

:thumbup::thumbup:Today is day 7 for me too. I am having the same pain when you take a deep breath. They say it will go away shortly. I am sorry you aRE starving. Sip lots of tasty liquid. Lots of jello flavors. Crystal light. Try not to think of what you are missing, but what you are losing. How much do you weight today? When i see that scale drop a part of a pound, my hunger flys away. Be happy sweetie, we will vent to each other every day if you want. -debi

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU A SLAYING THE DRAGON JUST FINE. THE FOOD, THE PORTIONS THE QUESTIONS, THE COMPLIMENTS. WAY TO GO!!! I HAVE TO ASK - I AM NEW AT THIS BUT I HAVE DECEIDED NOT TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT I HAVE DONE. ONLY MY 1 SISTER AND MY HUSBAND KNOW ABOUT MY BAND. I JUST FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO KEEP FOR ME. I GUESS I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT WHETHER I HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING OR NOT. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? HOW DID YOU HANDLE IT? IT IS OUR THANKSGIVING IN CANADA THIS WEEKEND, I GUESS MY GIFT FOR THE HOTEDD WILL BE A COUPLE PROTIEN DRINKS AND PUMKIN JELLO!! HERE GOES NOTHING.

WHEN I LOOK AT YOUR PICTURE, WE COULD BE SISTERS. I AM SOORY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU. GOOD LESSON TO THE REST OF US TO CHEW CHEW CHEW. WELL, MY NAME IS DEBI. TODAY IS DAY 7 POST OP AND I TOO AM DOING FINE. I AM STILL ON FLUIDS OF COURSE BUT I AM NOT HUNGERY, WHICH I CAN'T BELIVE AS I HAVE NOT HAD SOLID FOOD SINCE SEPT21/10. THE HAPPY PART FOR ME IS THAT I HAVE GONE FROM 307 TO 288. I WILL TAKE THAT ANY DAY!!!! I JUST WANT TO DO THIS THE BEST WAY I SHOULD AS I AM DISABLED AND CAN'T WALK ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND EXCERCISE IS GOING TO BE A HARD ONE FOR ME. MAYBE THE WEIGHT LOSS IS GOING TO BE A HELP. IT WILL GIVE MY SPINE A BREAK NOT SO MUCH PRESSURE. IT'S NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO VENT TO. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING THERE. I HOPE WE CAN TALK OFTEN -DEBI

I WAS TOLD TO STAY ON FUL FLUIDS TOO FOR 6-8 WKS. I'M DOING OK WITH IT, NOT HUNGURY OR ANYTHING. THE BEST PART IS THE OLD SCALE BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE EACH MORNING, HOW DO YOU PUT THOSE CUTE WEIGHT TRACKERS ON EACH BOX YOU POST ON? I AM A ROOKIE!!!!

Today is day 7 post op and i have not found any smell. If your urnie is dark it usually means you atr not drinking enough. Sorry i was not much help. Debi
