A New New Dawn

So there will be separate forums for LapBand blogs? I am hopeful there will be as there is a huge difference between after care, the surgeries, etc and, my experience is that people who had other types of surgery like to profess theirs is better, and/or tell me what I should be doing based on their surgery.

There will be completely separated areas for each surgery on BariatricPal.
The Lap Band Forums, blogs and photos will be a spitting image of LapBandTalk.
There will be a general discussion forum where everyone can intermingle.

At my last LB support meeting this topic was discussed and there are actually some great things you can do w/ the candy, in lieu of throwing it out: Send extra candy to a charity:

ii. Operation Shoebox – Donate to the Troops http://operationshoebox.com/
iii. Operation Gratitude http://www.operationgratitude.com/
iv. Some schools and food pantries also accept these items

We could use a little more variety

I had appointments with my Dr. and my surgeon Thursday One scale said 246 and one said 247. Either way i am one happy girl. After being stuck between 255 and 258 for 2 months I am thrilled. I am a firm believer in what my Dr. told me before I had surgery. She said "when you hit a plateau and you will hit them, you gotta move your butt." I am spending 40+ on gas to go to the Y 3 times a week. Is it worth it? I say hell yes!!!! She also cut my blood pressure pill in half and just called to say all labs came back good. That is 79 pounds since surgery and 99 all together.

Mini, LOVE your profile pic! I have one HOT sister and, from what I am told b-i-l.
Hang in there GF. Life w/ the band still going well?

I agree that you may be taking in too few calories and also, with that minimal calorie intake are you taking in the appropriate amount of Protein? Best to consult with your medical team for advise.

"Located near the cafeteria" Haha! Someone has a sense of humor at CDH...
Thanks so much for sharing the info. I'll be 4 days post-op *knock on wood!* that day, so I may have to catch my first one in October, but I will definitely be checking it out.

You wouldn't wash Bon Jovi's sweat off of yourself, at least I wouldn't.
Happy belated 19th anniversary, skinny mini!
Makes sense that one rockstar would hang out with another rockstar.

Wow, congrats on your anniversary too! 19 years is worth celebrating!!! Hubby must be so proud of you for so many reasons!!!!
How's your son doing? How was the exam? How are YOU? Did you wash Bon Jovi's sweat off of you? You were definitely close.

Mini, hang in there GF!!! We believe in you and happy 1 year bandiversary!!!

skinny mini shrink a dink, I miss you too!
Hope you wrote a 1 yr Bandiversary thread? You are a true inspiration for everyone on LBT.

Thoughts of skinny mini shrinky dink! hope you are doing FABULOUS!!! miss you gurl!!!

Mini hang in there and you are correct, anyone who ever said this was easy is full of crap. I am challenged daily with eating the right food and making good choices . In times if stress I crave sweets, something new for me. I allow myself dark chocolate on those nights and chase with wine. Lol probably not the best option but better than eating the whole package or drinking the whole bottle.
I had a friend who sat for there CPA and I feel for you ,she said hardest thing she ever did.i know you can do this ,if you can live with LB you can accomplish anything. We are always here for you .

Mini, hang in there GF!!! We believe in you and happy 1 year bandiversary!!!
