I am the same 219 this month did not lose or gain. I am however down 4 more inches Im ready for july! Amy

joan , thanks !! you are always there when we need ya !! had a pc visit this morning got to see a lady who works there that I havent seen since last nov.. first she looked at me and said *holly cow you look grat* that was first nice thing then when I steped on the scale from my highest weight they had me at and now I am down 68 lbs !!! when she pulled it up on the screen i was doing a dance <3 today was a great day !!!!! Amy

I didnt tell anyone until 2 weeks before the surgery. i worked at a school and we were going onto Christmas break so I knew i was going to work my butt off so when i got back to work everyone would notice....i did and it was great. then i swiched job to a catering business... I told my boss only because he wanted me to try everything from the kitchen and so then word got out and they watch everything i pull out of my lunh box. I find it keeps me acountable and when I swich out my uniforms every 2 weeks for a smaller size they are right there to ask what size are you now??? I can say I had to have this done due to my BP I was on 5 rx's a day and it was still over the stroke level.....2 weeks after the band I am off everything but a Water pill... I dont care who knows or what they say this was a LIFE saver for me and I would do it again ..... I let them ask me questions till they are blue hoping that maybe I can help someone with the info...I have one supervisor man 26 who is very stupid and cant understand why i would do this to myself (stupid) but I am so happy with me !!!! first time in a LONG time..................<3<3<3 Amy

amy checking in early...have to work the rest of the week so did it today... 219... I played with this number the whole month of june so for next week anything under will be a blessing......I only worked out 3 times this month so its all on me but when you work 12-16 hrs days on your feet its very hard to work out after that......i lift 50 lb bags of ice 15 times a day that has to account for something good luck to you all..... amy

has any one tried the toney hortons 10 min trainer videos? i am looking into getting the set for me and my daughter and wanted a review before I put the money out.... thanks, Amy

if you go to wal mart and buy whey powder its cheeper and it gives you 52 grams of protien... i make mine up the night before and its fine... I even freeze one the night before for my lunch and it defrost just fine..... good luck....

I used the gas x strips and it helped out alot..... you have to walk,walk walk thats good for the day when your up and about but when you go to sleep and that gas bubble gets ya the strip helped.... good luck !! we are here for you !!!! Amy

I LOVE desinger whey chocolate.... here is my recipie .. 1 cup FF milk 1 table spoon peanut butter 2 scoops of protein 1/2 banana and sometimes a little squirt of sugar free hersheys syurp when you need the xtra chocolate...

I am up today +3 @ 222 I am not eatting so i am sure this is killing me... I work outside in the heat and I have gotton dehydrated 2x's now. my dr told me to drink vitamin water all day so when lunch rolls around I am not hungrey and I drink... well when I get home I am tired and dirty so I take a shower or go swimming and dont eat.... I drink alot of water and in the am my homemade protein shake. I have been trying to snack on some nuts... any help ?!?!? I dont have a microwave to use just a fridge....... thanks, Amy

hello I feel I had good results. 5 months now and down 50 pounds. yeah I get the the stuck episodes but it is my fault for not chewing slowly n eatting way to fast. I started out 22/24 n now im in a 16. All blood pressure problems are gone n I am happy as a clam Sure I wish I coulld do better n read other ppl n see they are doing alot more but this is our own journey n each one of us is diffrent. Good luck

Wow !! Congrats on the big loss

Keep us posted on what the doc says. I totaly understand,i have been overweight since the 6th grade. I was just banded 5 months ago so I look down to 4years n havnt lost I would b off the wall...i can feel ur pain....in my prayers good luck!! Amy

sorry to hear that did you think about the sleeve? They do say some people have problems with the band. my heart goes out to you.. i Love my band. I do have to work VERY hard with it. i dont eat red meat i dont eat pasta, bread, pizza, cake anything that has to do with dough... I have a stuck episode Everyday... but i keep going. i do workout everyday too.... all of my fills have been done by the doctor under the help of the xray tech.. I drink barrium and they watch how fast it goes through my band... thats how they add the fluid. mybe you should talk to a diffrent band doc before giving up... I do hope the best for you<3 any thing we can do to help were here for you ! amy
