Looking great!!

Awesome!! I'm 51 pounds away from onederland and hope to be as successful as you!

I don't have problem with egg beaters, but prefer some good ole farm fresh brown eggs.

To me it sounds like he doesn't understand how the band and your body work together. It seems that his expectations as to how much weight and how quickly you lose it are a little on the high side. Just try talking to him and educating him on how the LB works as a tool to assist you and what to expect as far as weight-loss goes. Knowledge is power!

Brawny Band-man!! LOL..I love it! The next con is this October, but i have no idea what to dress as. Need to get on the ball though. I was thinking maybe Wolverine. I need to start growing my chops out now though....lol

I love riding my vintage 1977 Yamaha XS750 triple! Restored and runs like a banshee...She'll be even quicker the more weight I lose. I don't think I'll ever let anything get in the way of my riding. It is my escape, my freedom, my addiction. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Sounds good to me!! Good luck and let us know how they work for you.

everyone should have a ball!!

I'm so looking forward to it, especially since it will be my first time having shark! I'm very excited. Thanks for the tips!

That sounds just like me 11 years ago. You're welcome. Let me know if I can do anything else to help out.

Sure thing! You can bring the tartar sauce!

I'm a digital media technician. I watch and QC HD movie trailers and commercials before they are distributed to the TV stations. I sit at a desk most of the day. I took off 3 days + the weekend so 5 days total.

Well wishes for a speedy and smooth recovery!

I concur! The day after would be better.

Congrats! Sounds like you're doing everything right! You'll be feeling better in no time! Keep us updated on your progress.

I had the exact same symptoms and my wife suggested that it may be because I drinking from a straw all day and may have been consuming extra air. I stopped drinking from a straw and a day later the gas subsided. Not sure if this is your issue, but just offering my experience. I hope it helps.

Congrats!! Take things easy and stay positive. You got this!

Keep drinking your water. It will keep you full and help you flush your digestive system. I kept water with me 24/7.

That's great news Jen! Enjoy the pickle juice cocktail!

Awesome! There are many professional atheletes that swear by it. I tried it myself when I started working out. It really does work and yes it is absolutely delicious!

I'm going to have to agree with Jean on this one. It sounds to me like you may have more than one addiction and yes they are addictions.....don't kid yourself. YOU aren't in control. I would highly suggest seeking assistance with the other substances. In turn when you do have lapband you'll be much more successful. Discuss all of this and be honest with your Dr, Psych, and above all else...yourself. I have experience with both and while yes, there may be a very select few who have managed, they are the exception to the rule. Think about your family memebers whom you have lost. Marijuana is a carcinogen and make no mistake is not good for you. Alcohol is really no different than a candy bar....you can have it, but you really shouldn't. I wish you good luck and hope you do what is right for you. In the end it is up to you. X

I spell perfectly. It's my phone that effs it up!

Thank you for sharing your story and welcome back!! I wish you the best with your reacquainted journey!
