Hi! I've been without power for almost a week...it's good to be back! Last week, we had to stay with friends and I was at the mercy of the people we stayed with...but my eating was "okay". I made it to the gym a couple of days but otherwise didn't do as well. Oh well, life happens.

Good to see how well you all are doing!

I just have to post this afternoon because when I stepped on the scale this a.m. I was down 2 pounds from Friday. I went away this weekend and saw a friend from high school. We've been friends for over 40 years (I can't believe that's even possible). Not only was I able to stick to bandster rules, but we walked (and talked & talked:biggrin:). She set the pace and today my butt hurts! But I'm thrilled. I'm now below the goal I set for myself for this Friday.:w00t:

Hello all i have been gone for a while but i'm back and proud to report a weight loss of 39 lbs surgery date was 10/22/08 i hope all are well

[julie.ann 1]

Great job BootyBee! Isn't banded life great!

[julie.ann 1]

I have gained 1.3 lbs in the past 2 days. I guess I haven't been as good as I wanted. The past few days I have gone to ballgames and had some tootsie pops. With 60 calories it isn't bad, but the 15 carbs in each one probablly didn't help. I guess I need to get back to the basics and stop eating it just because I want it. That has always been my downfall. If I'm not hungry I can't eat it!

Another week down and this next week will be better!

Julie.Ann--that can also be Water weight--women are notorious for it! Yes, the tootsie pops aren't a great plan--but they aren't terrible either. Don't beat yourself up but start a new day!

Carry a bottle of Water everywhere you go. When you want to stick something in your mouth, DRINK WATER. It fills you up and it's good for you.

Rememer, yesterday is gone. Start new today.

This is sooo true! I would do so much better if I'd drink more water - thanks for extra push!

Water. Drink more more water. It is good for us. REALLY.

I feel better when I have lot's of water.

It's easy for us to forget to drink...as we have so many "drinking" rules!

Hello Hello!! Just wanted to say hello. :tt2: I had my band completely unfilled for a month and was incredibly depressed :tt2: I have been prepetually suffering with post op stomach pain that remains undiagnosed so removal may be an option.

Until then, I am going to lose as much as I can! I am back up to 5ccs and feeling it!! You are all doing WONDERFUL!!! How is all of your days going today and when do the before and after shots start coming in?
