So I just did a huge post and there was an error with LBT? What the hell? Let me try this again. I have a huge NSV to report. I have PCOS and have not had a natural period in years, they always have to be induced with medication. Guess what?? I started all on my own yesterday! No drugs or anything!!! I am shocked and amazed! Thank you to my band for giving me this back (sounds funny, eh?) I feel like such a girl again! I weighed in this morning at 250.6. I am down 3 pounds since the beginning of last week. Yeah for me!! Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th!

Yesterday morning, my DH looked at my stomach (I was in bed, lying flat on my back) and said something like "WOW. Your stomach is hardly there. It used to mound up lots higher." :bananajump: :Banane20:

This is fabulous. I bet you wanted to cry. I can't wait until that happens to me. That is definitely a NSV. Hoo Ray for you. Sherri

Would paying for someone else's band be offensive?

I have no answers for you. There is no right or wrong answer to this- it is really a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. Writing as a 53 year old mother who has always had a problem accepting gifts- especially big ones- I see where she is at. As a daughter who has lost her mom 5 yrs ago, I see where you are at. With all the other things you have written, the only thing I can say is to go slowly. Be an example for the surgery so Mom can see it really can work and talk about your experiences and NSV's and how happy you are with the whole process slowly a little bit at a time for a long while. This may take time but after she sees you and hears you, slowly she may come around. I would not try to push it or just present it to her- sometimes we can all be like little kids and automatically run the other direction!! Good Luck! -
I don't get it. I worked SO hard today and still didn't meet my calorie burn goal for the day. I walked to campus twice, did yoga, did 45 minutes of exercise, walked for 10 minutes that evening, in addition to just sort of moving all day. Well, whatever, I still met my daily defecit goal, so now I can have junk at my dad's party. SCALE: 231.5 upstairs at the gym (228 at doctor's office) EXERCISE: Length: 45 minutes (25 minutes Arc trainer, 20 minutes treadmill) Intensity: Weight loss mode on Arc Trainer, steady state (3.3 mph at a 5% incline) on treadmill Activity: Arc Trainer & Treadmill (also walkeded to campus twice, did yoga for a half hour and walked 10 minutes that evening.) Calories burned start to finish: ~332 FOOD: BF: Apex chocolate meal replacement shake ... mmmmmmmm L: Loaded salad w/ Teriyaki Chicken D: Lean Cuisine Chicken & Veggies S: 1 rice krispie treat & some of Sara's Costa Vida Pork Salad CALORIES CONSUMED: 1,108 CALORIES BURNED: 2,679 CALORIE DEFECIT: 1,571 NSV: I could do yoga SO MUCH better than Sara. She's 10 pounds less than I was when I started. She used to be in better shape than me. I really hope she chooses to get a band in the near future.

Here is a June post you wrote. New NSV for ME! I about messed my britches a little while ago when I fit in my Mom's size 12 pants! I was able to snap and zip!!!! OMG, I am the happiest thing on this earth right now. I told my mom the other night that I wanted to be in a 12 by this time and low and behold what happened??? My Mom said "Angie you look smaller than me lets try on these pants." I tried them on and they fit. I jumped like tigger all throughout the house I was sooo happy!!!!! This lapband has done wonders for my spirit and my happiness. I was so unhappy and so unhealthy the way that I was. Life is looking up girls!! WOOT!

Hello Everyone, Today is my one year Bandiversary and what a year it has been? I have lost 50 pounds and lost my husband all in the same time frame? <sigh> I miss him but to tell you the truth I think this was the best for both of us. I am happy I have lost what I have and I did all that in the first six months. But after that its been a very slow going. I need to get a fill and need to focus on my health again. I am motivated to do this and will start soon. Cant think of any NSv's right now but will think about it and maybe post back. I am off to bed! Good night! Angie

Speaking of our July board... Emilee made the comment that I should post the link here, and that is such a great idea i thought i would do just that. hehehe So here is where you can go for the July GFG thread. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=20375 I will be updating the totals and the honors post on Friday. I will be out of town then till Sunday. If you see that your weights and loss (or gains) are not correct please pm me or just put a message in the July thread. I will update it. I also mentioned there, but will do the same here, that even though the challenge is not going to take place in July, you are still welcome to keep a scorecard on the July board and keep it updated to show us your outstanding achievement! It might also serve as a way to keep yourself accountable. It is up to you completely. I think I might do it after my surgery just to keep myself up on my Water, and to also keep myself going in regards to workouts. I know I can't do the workouts i am doing now, but I can walk for 30 minutes by gummit so I need to remain faithful to myself with that. If you feel that you want to do this copy and paste your card from here, switch it up, make it yours. I will not be posting a scorecard in that thread, just to keep things simple. I want to give huge hugs to everyone. I had an NSV today of slightly major proportions. LOL My dog got out today, and he is a border collie. Little (#%^(# can run! And run he did...straight toward the 6 lane road a few blocks from our house. And guess what...I ran after him! I ran all the way there. I was out of breath, but I ran the whole way there, and caught him. It didn't even hit me till I got back and my trainer, wholives next door to me, came over and told me he saw me. He gave me the biggest hug and was actually crying!! A grown man...crying cause his neighber, and trainee, can run again. And it made me cry. And I have to say it is this group right here that has made me get as far as I am without the band today. You all have no idea the impact that you have made on my life. I am sure it wasn't pretty, but I ran today for a full 6 blocks, and I feel so good about it!! Thank you all for the gift you have given to me. I love you all, truly.

I got a call from the other job that I've been considering. A few weeks back I went to lunch with them while they told me all about the job and asked me to apply. I applied but didn't hear back for awhile. So she calls today and says they'd like me to interview next Wednesday. I have very mixed feelings about this job. On one hand it pays a lot more and it's an opportunity to really make a difference, but on the other hand I really like my job now. Plus, we're hiring a full-time programmer so I'll be able to spend my time on design and usability and possibly move into being the information architect for the university websites. Plus, I have tremendous flexibility, I love my boss and the team I work with, I get free tuition to take my medical classes, I get every other Friday off, I can come and go pretty much whenever I want, etc. The only downside to this job is the pay. But even that's not so bad when you count the benefits and the retirement. So I went to the band doc today. New nurse! I convinced the woman to give me .2 cc's in my band. That would have NEVER happened with the other nurses. They're reluctant to give me .1. I'm loving this new restriction. Thank you band angel, whatever your name was! SCALE: 234.5 downstairs at the gym (231 at doctor's office) EXERCISE: Length: 48 minutes (35 minutes Arc trainer, 13 minutes treadmill) + 20 minute walk at night Time: 7:40 PM (entered gym) to 8:30 PM (left gym) Intensity: Weight loss mode on Arc Trainer, steady state (3.3 mph at a 5% incline) on treadmill Activity: Arc Trainer & Treadmill & Walking Calories burned start to finish: ~349 (gym) ~160 (walking) Calories burned 1 hour after gym activity: 126.2 FOOD: BF: 1/4 Metagenics Shake L: South Beach Kung Pao Chicken S: Yoplait light cherry yogurt & 1 pc turkey deli meat D: Apex chocolate shake w/ 1.5 Tb organic peanut butter & 1/2 banana CALORIES BURNED: ~2,652 (148 shy of goal) CALORIES CONSUMED: 845 CALORIE DEFECIT: 1,807 NSV: 2 co-workers said I was 'lookin skinny'. Another co-worker said I was looking skinny, but that something also was 'different' about me. She didn't know if it was a tan or my hair or what. I think it's my new makeup. I went to Sephora while in Vegas (like 4 times) and got some friggin awesome stuff.

First of all, I never thought that "I" would ever be able to comment on an exercise thread so that's a NSV for me but anyway...my bariatric center built a special gym for their patients. They even provide a trainer! I love it and I really enjoy strength training. I use a little of everything then I do alternating days of cardio (walking mainly). I've recently been able to increase my weights on most of the machines...cool! I have to work on my endurance though...when I go to the gym I workout with the machines for close to an hour but cardio days are only about half an hour. I guess it's better than nothing, right?

Congrats!!!!!!! btw.....what does NSV mean? Carol

My wife is not overweight but she is not the 90lb ballerina she was when i met her 22 years ago. Sorry for sounding like an "ass", but I sincerely would like to hear from other couples who may have had similiar feelings. As far as the eye wandering thing is concerned....i always say that just because your on a diet does not mean you can't look at the menu. Only this time the items on the menu are actually taking notice of me as well. Its a NSV for me...thats just the way i feel about it....sorry for sounding like an ass I just want to be truthful.

I plan on changing my pic and showing my before and "still working on it 'after'" pics on my band anniversary...August 17!!! Keep up the great work August 2005 Bandsters!!!!

I went to K Mart today and bought a new bathing suit. It fit perfectly--a size 12! I haven't been in a size 12 for 18 years. I was so happy that I took that little leopard print size 12 home and modeled it for my DH. I have been floating on a cloud. The band works!

My sister and I were at K Mart today. They had a lot of sales. We saw the bathing suits and decided that we needed new bathing suits since our weight loss. We tried on a size 14 and a size 12. (last year we wore 1X or 2X) I was thrilled that I could wear a size 12. So I bought that little leopard print size 12 and took it home. I even modeled it for my DH.:clap2: I have been floating on a cloud ever since. I never dreamed that I would be in size 12 again. The last time I wore a size 12 was 18 years ago. What a great feeling! The band works!

Okay, now I'm confused. Got on the scale again today and it showed a 1 pound LOSS from last week. It was even after lunch and having water. I don't get this. Maybe I'd actually retained water in vegas because of the heat. My intern got another job today making more than me. I'd actually referred him to this fella that calls me all the time about jobs. I usually turn him down because these jobs are "contract to permanent" with no benefits and I'm all about stability with my band loans and all. But I usually can refer him to someone in the field who's looking so he keeps calling. Anyhow, Dustin told me he was interviewing the other day and today (during the shoot) he got the call that he had, in fact, gotten the job. He'll be making 53k a year. I suppose that's not more than me if you count benefits and retirement. I'm glad for him. This will help his wife and kids out, not to mention he can go to school at UVSC and get a better education for his field than he's getting at Weber. I think I'll stay where I am for awhile while I go back for my P.A. degree. May as well as long as I get free tuition and fees. SCALE: 233.5 at upstairs gym (what the heck???) (230 at doctor's office) EXERCISE: Length: 52 minutes (30 minutes Arc trainer, 22 minutes treadmill) Time: 7:00 PM (entered gym) to 8:00 PM (left gym) Intensity: Steady State Activity: Arc Trainer & Treadmill Calories burned start to finish: ~382 Calories burned 1 hour after activity: 201 (but I fixed the lawn mower and made dinner) FOOD: BF: None (woke up early for shoot and left w/o breakfast) L: Tropical Chicken Salad "sandwich" on cabbage D: Grilled Pork Souvlaki, loaded salad w/ egg & homemade dressing S: Wendy's fix 'n mix frosty CALORIES BURNED: 2,964 CALORIES CONSUMED: 1,079 CALORIE DEFECIT: 1,885 NSV: Co-worker told me when I came in today that I looked like a movie star and like "totally skinny". She said she didn't even know it was me coming through the door. What a sweetie.

I have family visiting me this week and we are having such a great time. Yesterday we went to Six Flags. For the first time in at least 5 years I RODE every ROLLERCOASTER in the park(except the Giant because I just don't like it, and yes I've ridden it many time before)! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: I have missed my rollercoasters. They are one of the main reasons that I go to theme parks. I have to get my adrenaline fix somehow.
