Some of the people that was at the cabins this weekend hadn't seen me since I was banded. They all complimented me alot. My one nephew said he didn't know it was me! They sure knew how to make a gal feel good!

hi everyone,

My names Kylie, I am 16years old. I am still playing the games my doctor wants me to do before she recommends surgery. of course I had this talk with her before I knew about LapBand. I have to go see her September 1, 2005 I will talk to her about this then. It is great to hear all these stories everyone has. It gets me really anxious and excited. Congrats on everyones NSV:banana

Okay, I apperently gained 3 pounds but I lost another notch on my belt! Woot!

Maybe the best one of all... This morning I realized that I will never go hungry again. (it's a wolves thing)

This weekend at the Beach I discovered that forgot a jacket. So I had to buy a new one. I picked up a 2x and it fit fine. A lttle roomy but that's okay. Wait a second... The sleeves are a bit long. Let's try the XL. I know, I know, an XL? that's crazy talk. Hey! this XL is pretty roomy... but the sleeves fit.

so. I had this totally insane idea... What would happen if I try on a Large? oh, it's never going to fit, it won't even zip up. Nah.. I'm too fat for a LARGE.

oh my gawd, she's actually going to try to put on a LARGE jacket??? What, is she nuts? Is she a glutton for punishment?

No! She's the proud owner of a poweder blue fleese Long Beach Washington jacket!!! SIZE LARGE

Now THAT would feel great. Numbers on the scale dont mean that much to me, I find I can be at the heavy end of my normal range and still have my clothes feel lose or vice versa.

I have a bad habit of buying clothes that dont fit me :-(

I'm down to a size 14---yeah!!! I gave away all of my 16's today. It felt so liberating. I can walk for miles now. But, boy is it hot out. Unfortunetly my treadmill and boflex are collecting bunnies--Lol. I tried moving them into my bedroom--didn't work--there's even more bunnines in there.

10 pounds till I'm at pre-pregnancy wieght--yahoo!

Excellent Vinesqueen!!! congrats, congrats, congrats!
