Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters

[IndioGirl55 32]

I TOTALLY agree that we have an EXCELLENT support system with each other on the lucky # 7's. I have to admit that I haven't even looked at another thread on lapbandtalk since right before surgery. I was getting freaked out by some of the 'horror' stories before surgery so I had decided I wouldn't look at other threads b-4 and then I just never went back. I know there is alot of great info out there but honestly I get worried when I read some of those posts and we do have a great system right here in our own yard so for right now I don't feel like I need to look over he fence. LOL

:car: to all!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing great tonight. I'll try to check back in later!!

Jackie - I loved your fence analogy - that's too cute - I look over the fence for interesting threads - I have given tough lap band love to some who were scared to be banded or just have question like we did in the begining - it's alway nice to talk to people who already have the band - and i like hearing the stories from those who have had theirs for a while. - see that's where you can help others who are afair...- I wasn't afaird even after reading the bad post on complications - i figured i had enought compllications just from being fat and i could walk out the front door and get hit by a truck - I am not much of a worrier - once i make my mind up it's done..

Well I am trying to update my ipod - so gotta re-boot - will be back in a few.

Hey gang!

I can't wait until I get my first fill. Can ya'll believe I still haven't had my first fill, yet? Not until 9/27. I need one ASAP. Most of you are on your 2nd and 3rd fill. :cry I can eat quite a bit, so the 27th can't get here fast enough. Not sure of my weight loss b/c I don't weigh myself. I wait until my doc appts for that. Other people keep telling me that I look great and that I'm losing...guess I'll know soon enough. I hope my doc is aggressive w/filling.

Chim, hope your weigh in next week is fantastic! You've got real will power not to weigh yourself!

Anna, thanks for the kind words. I'm a marketing manager and my team and I manage all product packaging, public relations, consumer affairs, promotions, website, research and recipe development.

I'm in Baltimore now on business... missing my family. I don't travel very often, so do enjoy the time by myself and dinner out. But miss the family. Tonight we went to a nice restaurant and I had fish and broccoli. Tomorrow we are going downtown to a crab house for a crab feast... yummy!!!

Chim, were in Maryland are you? My dad used to live in Gaithersburg and Damascus. I have to agree... I love Maryland for crab.

Waking record

No walking today. I wore cute shoes to work and when I got home my hooves were on fire so I didn't feel like walking. I'm getting back on tomorrow.

No it's plastic - Here is an interesting tid bit of news - My doc say that they are working on a remote control band - it's about 5 yrs off - but wouldn't that be so cool !!! Well, I couldn't wait 5 yrs - so guess i'll be happy with the way fills are done today..

Well crap! That didn't work right! Okay here it is; I'm soooo proud!

Hi Everyone!

Janie

The band is made of silicon so airport security won't detect it.

Good luck with ur workout and weight loss. With all support u give I know ur gonna do very well.

In 5 years, we won't have to worry about a remote control band because we'll all be fit and/or skinny waaaaaay before then!!!

Last night I ate too much at dinner time. I had leftovers from boston market that I think should had lasted me for at least 1 1/2 meals and I ate it all in 1 sitting. Granted, it took me about 30 to 40 minutes to eat it (too long for bandster time). I was so hungry when I came home from work that I just kept eating even when I I know I should have stopped. I still need to stop my impulse to eat. I think part of my problem was that fact that I skipped my afternoon snack because I forgot about it.

Walking Record

I did 30 minutes of walking in the neighborhood around my job.

Ssankofa - Thanks- I just know how to talk a good game - wish i could alway do as i preach - but am good for the most part -

got on the scale twice - 216 1st time and 217 the 2nd time - I am taking the 2nd time since i lost 3.5 last week - so that makes me 33 lbs lighter.. Getting there slowly but surely - i am that little train that could.

Last nite i had a 3 oz fish w/el pato (mex hot sauce) and then ate a burritto (impluse eating cuz i should have only eaten half) - beef cheese tortilla - 300 calories and then 2 pudding during the night - so did ok for last night didn't over eat too much -my total calories for the day was like 1010... and walked 2 miles -

well just flew back from south africa. No security problems with the band but a great filling of fullness. I learned from the flight over so i ate very little before the flight, just thought you might want to know

Good think to know - Did you have a good time in South Africa - I heard it was beautiful...
