good luck with the new you. You will do great and look super!!!!!!!!!!

no I did not. I knew there was something wrong.

My daughter-in-law sent me a copy of Santa talking to my grandson. The site is PNP home page. It is really cute. Santa talked to him and his picture was used a few times. Great for all the young at heart for Christmas.

Great to hear nothing serious. I always say call the doctor when you are in doubt. My husband says I eat too fast all the time. For me, it's slow.

A few weeks ago I had a coupon from BJ's for jeans so i bought a size 16. They went on but did not zip. Well today they are on the body! I can not believe it. I am happy today. In a short time the hub and I are joining the gym, About time!!!!!!!!!! Now to put on the Ugg boots to go out in the nasty weather we are having all week. Enjoy your day everyone.

Good luck with the surgery. In about 1-2 months, you'll say that was so easy. I did miss chewing. After the surgery and so many weeks of liquids, I got bored with choosing foods to eat. I still have a protein shake for breakfast everyday because I don't like eggs.

Happy Sunday Since I bought a Fitbit the other day, I have been recording everything I eat onto the computer. I am now so much more aware of everything I put in my mouth. It was one of the best investments I have made since my surgery. Some people need a crutch and I have found mine, the Fitbit. For all of you celebrating Santa, it will make a great gift. Just came home from food shopping. Awful weather in Boston, rain maybe snow later during the Pat's game tonight. Then we are rain/snow the rest of the week. UGH! Enjoy your evening everyone.

Good for you seeing the doctor. They are there for us the whole way. I hope you don't need to have surgery to repair the band. One thing I have learned from this site and from other banders, call the doctor. Good luck eating.

Nice visit, no unfill. Good luck with your new body next week.

A 10 lb. weight loss a month is super amazing. The experts say 1-2 lbs. a week, so you are doing great. Do you exercise and walk a lot? I don't. I haven't been to Disney in over 20 years and I know from going there I did a lot of walking for months before to get prepared. Lots of walking there, wear really comfortable foot wear.

That is super! Keep it up, I mean down with the numbers.

The pj's are so cute. I am on a half of a very low blood pressure med. Before Lap Band was on 2 whole ones a day. I am fine with that. Have a great time modeling tonight.

Good luck! I am sure it went well. Welcome to your new life. I just went to my cardiologist and he hasn't seen me since 50 lbs. ago and couldn't believe it was me and I am still over 2. It takes more than a day to lose what took years to put on. It isn't a race to see who wins in the end. You are the only winner in your own race. Happy holidays. Arlene

I am finally coming into the technology world. I just upgraded my phone to an iphone. While at the AT&T store I saw they sell Fitbits. I have wanted one for a while but they are $100. They had them for $75. and I have balls and asked for it for less and they sold it to me for $50. Another new item I need to learn besides my computer. The salesman said the iphone has an app for the Fitbit. I am on my second laptop in about 8 years and still don't know how to work one. I don't work so I have no excuse for learning technology. Have a great evening all.

I love hearing stories like yours. Thank you for sharing it. At my last fill 2 weeks ago I thought my weight loss was small and my doctor thought it was great. ​Have a super holiday season.

Hello I am the queen of shakes, well I think so. I put 8oz. of milk into the blender, add my powder, then some decaf instant coffee, a little peppermint extract and fill the blender with ice. I have a small Hamilton Beach blender. I blend until all mixed and it tastes so great! I am not a breakfast food person so i have been having the shakes since March even though I got banded in July. Good luck.

Hello Lap Banders, ​I have said before I am computer challenged, or I would re post an article. On Yahoo just now I read that a waiter in CA named a table of 3 women on their check, Fat Girls. How awful is that?? Do they call me and my over weight husband the 2 fatties. Have a great Hanukkah to all who celebrate.

You seem to be doing great. Cucumber skin you can't have. I have them with my salad all the time. For your shakes do you add ice. I put a lot in the blender and it becomes like a McDonald's thick shake and I find that fills me more. ​The dreaded scale, I am on it so much I can't believe it still works. My son told me to throw it out, I can't it's my friend through good numbers and awful ones. Enjoy your day.

Congratulations!!!!! People like you give hope to people like me. I have just a few pounds to get to 199 and can't wait. Your pictures look amazing.

You will do great. Your WW friend, good for her. I have a cousin who lost over 100 lbs. on WW and and thinks that way, I can do it anyone can. Except her 28 year daughter has been morbidly obese since birth. Never told no and now must be well over 400 lbs. So everyone needs to MYOB and do what is the best for them. Lap Band works great for me. I am much older than you and it took me all these years to find my new me. Good luck.

Welcome. My dietitian told me that you have to eat to lose weight. Maybe contact yours to ask questions. That is why they are there. I can email mine and she usually answers within 24 hours. Good luck with your new journey.

Wonderful!!!!!!!! I live in MA and was told that if you get rashes and have problems, insurance pays for tummy tucks when the doctor recommends them. Maybe ask, it can't hurt. Good luck with your new life.

I had a coupon for jeans from BJ"s and decided to buy a size 16. I wear an 18. I tried on the 16 and they button but don't zipper yet. WOW, in July I wore a women's size 20. Great feeling. Have a great evening everyone and a nice TGIF.

I totally understand the scale. I am way past monthly's but I had some salted food yesterday and my weight went up a drop. My son told me to throw out the scale, I can't, it's mine! When I did have monthly's I gained a lot of water weight and always held my salt. Maybe next week at this time you will see 196! Good luck.

I am very happy you went to the doctor. That is why he is there. Now you can eat and be happy. Have a great evening.
