It's possible to gain weight, but I don' t think there is need to panic. Sometimes it's just Water weight, or maybe to much sugar at the holiday. Talk to your doctor about an ajustment so that you are less hungry and review your food journal to be certain that you are eating the right foods in the right amounts. I know of people who have gained weight and went on to loss again. Keep in touch and let us know how things turn out. Good luck and take care, Karen

Thank you Karen. I needed that encouragement and will take your suggestions.

Hi everyone,

It's been so long sense I have been on here, over three months. I have not lost any weight in those three months but this last fill I think will do the trick. I'm at about 6.1 cc's now and it really feels tight, but not too tight. I'm really happy where it is right now.

This coming Tuesday the 12th. I'm doing to go and do some bowling, Than go see the movie AVATAR in 3D, than go to my support group meetings that night. It's going to be a very busy day.

I hope to be on here more often now.

Don

Good to hear from you, Don!

Hi everyone:

Good to hear from you Don.

I am healing well from my bladder surgery and go back to work Monday morning. I am so ready to get out of the house! I don't honestly know if I am thrilled to go back to work, as I have been off for three weeks and will be swamped. I was able to drive on Wednesday to go for my bladder surgery follow up, but then we had a snow storm and the roads were a mess so I was not comfortable going out alone driving. Looks like the weather is clearing up today (Saturday) so maybe I can get out for a while.

I hope this doesn't sound like I am bragging, but I am so proud that I was asked to model in a fashion show my Lap Band Surgeon puts on to show sucess stories. They also use photos of those selected for posters advertising the Restart Center Weight Loss Program at Methodist Hospital in Merrillville, IN. The fashion show is April 10th at a banquet center in town. I would never in a million years imagined doing this 18 months ago at a BMI of 53 and weight of 322 pounds.

My only worry is that I can't exercise due to my surgery until the end of February. So, I am going to have to be extra careful with my eating and try to find places to walk safely indoors in the mean time.

Take care everyone,

Karen

Wow! You're doing GREAT! Congrats on the fashion show invite! What an honor!!

You are near the university, right? DS#1 is in the Navy and was stationed at Crane for several years. DIL loved it.... lots of wildlife on base and SNOW every winter, which she LOVES! Now they're near San Francisco and she misses winter!

Congrats, Karen, I hold you and Phyl up as examples to follow.

I am finally below 190. It may have been because I was sick and didn't eat on Thursday. But, I consider anything as a plus!

Karen, you aught to be proud of being asked to be in a show. Wow, I would love for my Dr to ask me when I loose my weight. He and about 1/2 his office have gone through Lapband surgery. They are there own models.

Winter is highly overrated! I am in Florida, I moved because I didn't like cold, ice and snow. We might get all 3 this weekend.

Okay. Someone on one of the threads lives in Bloomington, I think, near the University of Indiana. I thought it was you. We visited Indiana quite a few times when our son was stationed there. I didn't realize what a beautiful state it is! Love the little towns!

Here is a "progress" picture taken this past weekend. The other picture was taken a little over 5 yrs ago.
