Today I was driving down the road and DS was sitting in the front passenger seat. He kept looking at me then he said, "Mom, I don't think that lapband thing was supposed to work so fast!" He said that I am officially 81% to being "hot". He is sooooo much like my DH. They both crack me up!!

you hottie:w00t:!, great compliment from your son - very charming!!

congrats on the run as well today - your doing so great!!!

Ok I finally had a NSV. We have horses but I normally do not ride. I always felt sorry for the horses having to haul my fat butt around. Anyways even when I did ride I couldn't get myself up on the saddle. Either someone had to help me (my hubs pushing my butt up there) or I had to get a chair and hope the horse did not move while I was halfway up. So my hubs got the horses saddled up and said c'mon we are riding. He got a chair for me but before he could even get it to me I had swung my leg up and over and Voila, I was up. I got up so fast, in fact, that I almost went all the way over, lol. I guess I thought I needed to get the old me up and I am the newer me. It was a great feeling and we had a great ride. Yeah me!!

do you all get the giggles sometimes with this band thing??

i had an extreme workout today with my husband & trainer - JUST off the hook nuts....as i was walking out of the gym *and had to change my shirt cause it was SOAKED*, some member told me - "that's the way one should look after a good workout" - well i was PURPLE. not red "faced" not my natural italian glow - PURPLE.

we walked to the truck and hubby said your shoes were moving during our run and your shorts are sagging.

NOW - i got an ass for days .. we literally went across the street to DICKS (love that name...LOL) sporting good and got new workout clothes.

i went from a 8 1/2 to 7 1/2 running shoe - XL - Medium shorts...and well still have the girls...so still a LG up top. OMG he spend $400 on me today on workout gear and well if it weren't for the TOM i'd make his night...LOL

ya'll are very special and i appreciate every post.:Banane34:

I have a new NSV. I officially wiegh less than my DH! I've weighed more than him for 10 years now. Feels great!!

I also bought some size 18 jeans today! I know that's still "plus sized" but I started out wearing very very tight 28/30's. (28/30 was as high as most places carry clothes around here, so I had to sqeeze in, lol). 30/32 was probably closer to my real size.

One more, then I promise I'm done, lol. Sunday was my 1 year Bandiversary and I made my goal of losing 100 lbs in one year!

How is everyone else? Any new NSV's to share????

Have not had to take diabetic medicine for a year and no longer snore or use a cpap machine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
