Fifty pounds since January sounds really good to me. Since you are having problems with food in the morning, I think you don't need a fill. I did read someplace that one mistake banders make is to wait for the "full" feeling to stop eating. They said to stop when you know you have had the right amount. If it wasn't enough you willl get truly hungry in a couple of hours. That is what I am doing now. I know that's what I did and now I've had to put myself back on mushies.

Thanks for accepting my friendship. I too am thinking about exercise. I can't say I'm at the total excited point yet, but I admire your commitment.

So sorry to hear that you and your sweet kitty are in pain. Praying for comfort for both of you.

Thanks Debora Anne, yes that "me time" was important to get me through another day.

You are so loving to cook for your husband during this difficult time in your life. It is good to hear that you are doing better with your blood pressure already. It's exciting that you are so close to your surgery day. You are going to do well.

Congratulations! You have been focused and it has paid off!

Is it dangerous if you use this suit and get too hot? I would worry about heat stroke. Is it possible or does it do a different kind of heat? I am confused. Will it help you speed up your metabolism or just sweat?

It's good to hear that you are feeling well enough to go to a wedding. It is hard having to eat out of your home while still on the post op diet. It sounds like you are making it work for you. It won't be long until we move on to the next steps in diet and adapting to life with the band. Keep up the good work and best wishes to you!

I think you are doing very well. Just think if you were to lose that much in the next 13 months how much better you will feel. When you started 13 months probably seemed like a long time away and now here you are. Also, remember that this time those pounds are gone for good because you have your tool. You never have to lose those same pounds again like most of us did in the past.

Wow! Your are really working it. You and Bandy are a great pair. Contratulations.

Congratulations on the blood pressure drop. That is great to hear!
