I am dreading when I finally get a stomach bug w/vomiting. I think I will probably make a trip to my surgeon or the ER for an unfill until it passes. I'm so sorry so many of you have had to go through it.

Kim...CONGRATULATIONS on hitting the -100 pound mark!

Do we have a new March thread yet? Drews?

Neal, I ahve noticed that you seem to have lost a lot more weight than others who have been banded for the same period of time. To what do you attribute your good losses? And, if I may ask, have you lost any hair? I plan to be banded in May or early june, and I am worried as much about Hair loss as anything else, evern though I know this is not rational. I'm just curious about your thoughts/

Well, it's March but I haven't been able to post for a while because of work. When I'm on my dayshifts, I just don't get a chance to get on the computer because I just come home, eat a little and go to bed. Then everyone in my house has been sick with the flu....my youngest son sounds like a comsumption patient.....and I have been trying to deal with that. Luckily, all I got a running nose and a bit of a cough, but that's about it.

I did have a GREAT NSV this weekend. I decided to "Clean Sweep" my bedroom. And in the great purge I found a set of chaps that my DH had bought me last summer in hopes that I could wear them this summer. So I got brave, slipped them on, buckled up and they fit!!!!! They are a men's size M and a bit long (everything I own is a bit long anymore) but they fit in the legs and around the waist. So now I can be a WARM biker babe when the snow melts enough to go for a ride. It's funny, clothes still catch me by surprise. I put on a pretty salmon colored sweater the other day, thinking it was a nice spring sweater and it was just hanging on me. Made me happy, but also a bit sad because I REALLY need to get some new nice weather clothes.

Marz - I'm so glad to hear about your nephew. Hopefully things will continue to go good for him.

OU - you look great!

Linda - you have lost an amazing amount and you do so much more exercise than I do! You are my inspiration to get "back in the groove" with my walking.

For all of you that are still sick.....Get well quick!
