Hi All. Rather bummed myself lately; kind of makes you not want to share on the thread until the tides change, but hey, we are all human. I am scheduled for a fill on Wed and so badly want one, if nothing else, just to shake things up a bit! I'm only at 2.8 in a 10 band, so I think there's some room! In the meantime, could someone PLease put the Easter candy in another room?!

I have five bags in my desk drawer. I am testing myself! Actually, I am pretty good about not overdoing it. I am up for the challenge. You can do it! Just think of it as the word pest tasting cheap candy. NOT WORTH IT!

Well, I got my fill on Wednesday. Was actually up about 3 pounds since last weigh in and he put in .5 cc, so now I have 3.3 cc in my band. Today is only 2 days in, but it feels really good and I hope it holds.

I have a confession to make. I was a smoker before the surgery and quit a little before, and for a little bit after (about 6 weeks). I quit again a while back and it's a double demon trying not to snack, and being constipated from not smoking (sorry if that's TMI, but that's what happens to me). I was honest with my surgeon and told him, and we both agreed that relatively I'm doing extremely well and making great headway in becoming more healthy.

How is everyone else doing? NJ? Meredith? Chrissy? Nicole? Nicki? Check in, ladies! I miss you!

Hey Lady Bandito! I'm here but like you, I've been in a bad place with being displaced which I mentioned a week or so here. HOWEVER, spring is here, although in NJ, it's 52 today which is hot for us! Living in an apt while house is being raised etc. Finally got back on track this morning, set up MyFitness Pal, FitBit, on my new cell and back online here. Entered my food diary into them and hooked up my FitBit on and got the DVD going with Leslie Sansone. I did 3 hard miles with her and it felt realllll good. Amazingly, post lapband last year, while I worked out on my treadmill and elliptical, for the most part, I did her DVD's 3 times a week and really lost the girth/inches around my pear shaped KimKardasian butt! Since the storm I've put the inches back on there and everywhere but I'm back mentally & physcially. No way am I going to get back into a size 16 Lane Bryant Jeans. Well, ok, I have, but it's not going to be for long. LOL So, it's good to get logged onto all my equipment that helped me lose the initial 60lbs. and back here with my gals of Jan 2012 once again. Like everyone else, it takes a village to get back up on the saddle. Love you gals....

Hey y'all, I'm here. Meredith, yes, you guys are my village too! I am struggling, and not back yet, but still posting because it will come and I still need you- probably especially when I'm struggling!

My new office location is too far from they Y. I think I'm going to look into a fitbit and do some walking outside. We'll see, there's other options.

Hanging in there, through the good and the not good!

I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the leisure here! Keep up the good work.

Hi All! Yay for all of us climbing our way out of different predicaments! I'm really liking my latest fill, eating much less and not thinking about food as much. I'm not going to weigh until next week, just because. Found some digestive enzymes at the health food store which are helping me greatly with the bloat I was experiencing.

Time to be thinking about swimsuits... That's my motivation for now. I've read a lot of posts on this forum about people losing more weight in their second year than in their first... I like that with the band the losses continue on!

Very quiet here! Hope you all had a great weekend. It was beautiful here in N FL yesterday, but has rained on and off today and now all night tonight. Went to the musical Spank Friday night, worked in the yard yesterday and played golf in and out of the rain today. Have a great week everyone!

[Ladybandito 516]

You too, SueBee! Went to Vegas over the weekend with some friends, and rode the zip line over Fremont Street. Something I always wanted to do ... Cross one off the bucket list. Have a good, losing week everyone!

[SueBee01 630]

That's awesome! Zip lining is on my bucket list. Just waiting for my hip replacement so I can do it.

We went to Hard Rock Tampa Casino two weeks ago for my husband's birthday. We had a great time. Love Las Vegas! We went for his bray last year!

[SueBee01 630]

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Pretty rainy and cool here this weekend. Good for working in the yard again today.

Going to see my surgeon Tuesday for a normal follow-up (15 month post op). I have been maintaining goal now for almost two months so I will visit with my nut to discuss what I should be doing now that I have reached goal.

Have tnclean my house this week as my tennis boys come next weekend. One from Barbados, Bahamas and Argentina. Always fun to have them here each year and watch them play tennis for two weeks!

Hope you all have a great week!

Hi everyone! Sorry its been so long...crazy here at work and I forget to log on once i get home. I'm maintaining around 172 (which means I've gained back 10 pounds since December). So, even though I'm okay with where I am and my small clothes still fit, I've gotten away from the 162 goal weight that I had reached 4 months ago. I'm 44 tomorrow and I had hoped to stay at/be at goal by my birthday but I'm still 100 pounds less than I was a year and a half ago! I've got to get back into a rigorous exercise regimen like I had been doing. Just cannot make myself get out of bed in the mornings to go to the gym. I've missed you all. For some reason, I'm no longer getting notifications in my e-mail when someone makes a post. Is anyone else having that issue?

[SueBee01 630]

Hang in there Chrissy! You will find your way back to exercising. I can NEVER get up in the morning to exercise. I do it all at night.

[chrissylu 153]

oh if i'm going to exercise, it has to be in the morning. I'm just worthless at the end of the day, plus it helps me get my day going when I hit the gym first thing. Now, if I can just make myself get up and get back to it at 4AM! Maybe I need some b-12?

[SueBee01 630]

Or hit the sheets earlier!
