Very nice first blog. who cares if you're rude, I can be. The real me hasn't come out yet. I try to be nice and then I blow up. i have a lot on my plate.
​Your travels sound super. I love to travel but can't at this time.
Have a great weekend.

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish you a lot of luck. I am about the same weight as you and under 200 would the bomb!!! by New Years.
have a great Thanksgiving.

That is wonderful news!!!!!!!! Good luck.

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

​I am also obsessed with the scale. I get on too much, like 3-6 times a day. Awful. I have been between 207 and 211 for about 6 weeks. I hate it. I would love to see 199 by January 1st. Everyone goes at different paces.
Have a wonderful holiday.

Tell the doctor right away. This does not sound right. You may need to an x-ray to see if everything is in place the proper way.
Good luck. I learned, never hide anything from the doctor.

I like your style! Chocolate/Peppermint is my favorite!

I am very happy you found your ring.
​A few hints-eat protein first and chew, chew, chew. I started my sort of diet in March and was banded 7/30. I am not a breakfast eater so I started and still have every morning a protein shake. I love them. i only drink chocolate and I sometimes add decaf instant coffee and peppermint extract and lots of ice and they are thick like a McDonald's shake. I have a small blender that is also a drinking cup.
Good luck. I wish I knew about this site before my banding.

You're doing great for less than one year since your banding!!! Good for you. Reading this makes it seem real that this can happen to me too.

My weight has not changed in over 2 months but my inches have gone down. I can't figure that one out. My husband says i eat too much. I don't think so. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for my 2nd fill. I'll find out what I am doing wrong. One blogger once told me she stayed the same weight for many many months but lost inches.
Good luck.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so inspiring to look forward to. I love hearing great stories. Keep up the wonderful work.

I am very happy you called the doctor. Even happier that you are feeling better!!!!
Enjoy your day and new life.

What is MFP? I also an not a veggie eater. I do love salad and have never had dressing in my life, so I am good eating salads before my dinner, about 1 hour before.
I have awful gas after every meal. I was told that is common and my husband doesn't make rude remarks anymore.
I go for my second fill the week after Thanksgiving. My weight hasn't changed much but I am losing inches. I take my measurements
on the 6th of each month, but I didn't start until September and my heaviest was in March and surgery July 30th. So I really don't know how large I was except by clothes.
Good luck!!

Be careful! You scared yus!

I wore a very dark brown pant suit with a hint of gold in the fabric. Very low cut with a large diamond and gold necklace. It is actually a brooch that I put a chain through it (It is/.was my mother-in-law's) I always borrowed it and have had it for many years and she never asked for it back. She saw me wear last night. I guess it's now mine!!! I wear a size 12 shoe, that means investment for each pair. I still had the dyable shoes and bag from my son's wedding and for $12. each had them redyed the right color.
I did do the photo booth. You take 6 pictures, 3 on each side and you put 3 of them in an album and write something for the bride and groom. Very cute and fun. My 2 sons, each around 6'2", one around 200 lbs and the other over 325 got on either side of a cousin who must weight 150 and kissed him on each side. I did not see the picture but my husband did and said it was great. I feel sorry for him being caught in between my sons. They are large.
It was a super wedding. This morning my brother had a brunch at his house for out of towners.
Thanks for asking.

Your dinner sounded great! I love venison, too.

i agree with jean and banjo...maybe instead of going to curves now, spend that money on a dr visit,,...i was on anti depressants for a long while as my brother killed himself...and i didnt have the greatest upbringing and i found solace in drink and excess food.......i have always felt alone and though no one understands or even cares..but you know what, as long as you care about you, you can begin to find yourself..i know you think that wont happen, but it can...look deep inside..your in there.......
i was like you..i couldnt walk and all i did was sit and eat and get bigger and get more depressed but i had to reach my final straw...i felt if i didnt do something,,,i don know what would happen....
you arent alone.....like banjo siad, pm anyone of us...we are here for you

As someone who has suffered major depression for over 40 years, I just want to give you a cyber-hug, tell you not to give up on yourself, and strongly advise you to talk to your PCP about getting an RX for an antidepressant (or changing the med and/or the dose if you're already on one).

MsAnn,
Please let me be here for you. I take medicine for depression caused by an anxiety disorder.I don't know exactly how you feel, but I know what hopeless feels like and what lonely feels like when you are around people.
I have lost friends, fake friends actually, and have watched my kids experience that too.
I am not trying to cheer you up, I am trying to say I want to be an ear. An anonymous ear that you can unload on. Give me a chance, if it helps make you feel better even for a little while. If I make you feel worse, then I understand. If uou want to chat please send me a message, I promise I will answer.
You matter to me.
Joanne

​ Congratulations!! I also had the hernia fixed but knew about it because I had to take 6 pills a day just to eat. My stomach was also in the wrong place and that got fixed too. I was banded 7/30 and feel super. The pain lasts about one week but I found the shoulders hurt the most from the gas they put in you. I was told to use a heating pad and that helps. I am also a mother, grandmother but I don't work anymore. I am a 62 year wife, the other day was my 42nd year anniversary. All the banders on this site come in different shapes, sizes and ages. It is a fun site and you meet super great people. Enjoy your new life. I am enjoying mine, finally!!

I take all chew able vitamins, also. I take them all in the morning and try very hard to remember the second Caltrate calcium & vitamin D with dinner. They taste good, they are berry flavored. For my protein, I have every morning a protein shake and have 1 1/2 scoops of powder. That way I know I have a lot of protein for the day. I hate breakfast foods and this is how before my banding I lost about 20 something pounds.
Good luck.
