Wow, you look great. Glad all went well, congratulations!

Great blog Kime-lou. You are so right, we need to tell our story and respect others to do the same. This journey is not easy and a place like this is our sanctuary, let's respect it. Thanks!

Congrats on the bike riding. I have a real hard time exercising (I hate it), I really have to force myself to do it.

BTW - don't cut yourself short on the clothing size. I thought 14 would be great..... I'm now in size 10. Wow!!

I bet you get below size 12, just my prediction.....

My gallbladder is long gone. I had it out in 2005! lol. No this was just not eating the lap band way.

That's what I'm talking about!

That's a great NSV! (Bonus embarrassing the kiddos!)

It's all about listening to your band. if I hadn't stopped when I got the soft stop warning, well it would of been a lot worse. & I respect her and will do liquids for the evening. I'll be back on track tomorrow. Rose will be blooming!

You will love the fitbit! It's a pedometer on steroids!!!! I Love mine!!!

Congrats & happy 2nd Banniversary!!!

amq1976,

The band will not take away any food cravings, it doesn't help with the mental side.

I wrote a blog on this a while back: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blog/7232/entry-24778-my-banded-brain-tool/

If you want something bad enough you will get it!

before you know it those 16s will be too big!

Such great ideas. We have become so lazy! It is time to Move It!!!

Floridays, you are one of my favorite friends here. You tell it like it is & I love that!!!! You helped me get to my goal and now that I enter the maintenance chapter of my journey I will be looking to you for guidance. I look forward to your blogs!

Oh I will try the insurance route first, but I am not holding my breath (I work for the state.....)

You are on your way, enjoy the journey!

Great blog. It's nice to learn more about my BB friends. You are an inspiration!

Ahh... my job is done! I feel so satified now...hehehe!

Better get a box of tissues. You will get there!!!

Banjo, are you singing?

Thanks everyone. Your support means the world to me!

Ok CG dinner tonight isn't as yummy. Linguini & clam sauce with a green salad.

Dinner is at 7, don't be late!

I needed to read this, I'd really like to go to a support group.. I should look into. Great post .. you are most definitely a success!

If your doctors office or hospital doesn't offer one you might start your own, meet at a coffee shop. In the mean time this forum is great support. Check in daily, I do.

We will support you!

MsAnn,

You are not alone. We are all here for you. Reach out to any one of us and we wil listen. We love you.
