~hugs~ Jim...so sorry to read this.. I was adopted at age 7 by the best Dad in the world..( the mom had lots not to like) but my sister and I loved that man more then any words could ever say...When he was ill and on hospic my sister and I sat talking and I wondered out loud...wow as much as Daddie loves us can you imagine how it would of been if we were his bio children...OMG....now that Im older and have 2 bio children and 5 adopted children...I can see how my Dad couldnt of loved us any more then he did....there isnt a differance in the love between a bio or a adopted child.....and for my Dad adopting my sister and I was one of the best things he ever did he would tell us....and for my hisband and I adopting our children was the best thing we ever did...God Bless you in your journey .....

~hugs~ Hun... At least you are aware of your weight for many years I was not... I didnt want to be.... Have you tryed just sitting down with a nutritionast and see if maybe she can help you stick and motivate to healthy eatting.... For me I had lost 90 lbs on WW.....80 on all liq diet for 6 months.....I did them all....I needed the band to control my hunger... Good luck ...please dont beat yourself up over this....You will get there...take control !!!

Im going to have to try this one... God love my hubby he went to the store and Chobani was on sale so her bought a bunch of them...and I cant get kids to eat them so its up to me..... I will be glad when they are gone...LOL

congrats .... seeing all your !!!!!s I can see your excitment... I remember mine...so very happy for you !!!!

yep you asked for it..because you know how wrong it is to eat what ever you want to...The Dr always stressed tomethe band is just a TOOL we have to work with it !!!

I to know how to loose it was keeping it off for me also... When I was doing pre diet.... all I was told was I had to learn to eat healthy and try to control portions...with that said she told me I would loose... and there was no set abount...but I did loose 50 befor banding.... Good Luck...and I know this time you will keep it off !!
