Thanks anyway.

OK guys I'll see you at Hector's around 5:30. I will try to be on time, but may be a few minutes late. I'm sure Dick will meet us there as he wants to try them again. We didn't know about the free ice cream.

We're off to The Woodlands for the day. Dick and I like to walk around and window shop. We're going to have lunch there as well.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I live north of kingwood, I will be banded oct 12th by dr. kenneth hollis out of houston. I am really nervous. Mostly about after...I know myself and I am worried I wont be able to stick to it. I have very strong cravings at times usually uncontrollable. Has be banded helped anyones cravings?

[barbara465 2]

Welcome barkeep. We won't kid you - you still have to work at weight loss. I do find it much easier with the band. You still will have cravings - not at first though. You will be caught up in the program of what you can and can't eat at first so cravings won't be much of an issue. As you get more comfortable with the band, your head will take over and allow some of those cravings to come in. Don't worry. With the band you can't binge or go overboard too much. The real killer is ice cream. It is easy to eat and doesn't affect the band.

Come join us for dinner if you can on Monday at Hector's. We'll help any way we can. I am so happy I have the band to help me.

I had cravings all my life! And I went on diets, lost, and regained more than I lost. I pretty much couldn't see myself ever being a success with my weight. Now, if I screw up, my weight stays the same. If I do right, I lose. What a difference! And doing right is possible...and used to be impossible. The first time you are able to push away from a plate with only 1/4 of the food gone and really say "I'm full"! You'll know life just got really different!

Mom broke her OTHER hip yesterday. The new ER at Northeast is fabulous. Poor girl....90 years old and having to have an operation and rehab. But she's in good spirits. I'll be at Hectors...Where on 1960 is it? I know I've seen it but don't know where....

[Betsyjane 2]

This may be muy imagination, but it seems like lately, I'lm losing weight everywhere except my stomach!

Thanks for the encouragement! I would love to join all of you for dinner next time I am working this monday unfortunately. Please let me know next time you all get together and I will see if I make it.

Besty how is your mom doing?

I have pulled something in my back and could not keep my baby this past week. Have been to several doctors and even a bone popper. I think she is helping me. They will be doing a MRI and than the test with the needles to check out the nerves in my hand. I cannot even hold a cup of coffee or write my name. What is happening to us. We are all falling apart.

I hope and pray that your mom is doing better. How did it happen? Did she fall?

[Betsyjane 2]

Her hip gave out, just like the other one did 2 years ago. Oddly, most broken hips break FIRST and cause a fall, instead of the other way around. I just got back from seeing her this morning. It was her first day to get up, and the PT people got her sitting and then standing! Amazing. She's still kind of goofy but doing better.

Sorry about your back! Hope an MRI will tell the story.....

Well finally ladies. I got my band on the 24th and have finally made it to mushies so I will be looking forward to finally meeting everyone the next time you have a dinner date. It seems to have taken a long time to get here but I'm happy that I'm here. I see the Dr. to talk about and maybe get the first fill on the 25th and I don't even go on solid food until the 22nd. Is that normal?
