I can hear you smiling in your words...
so happy for you !!!

That is great!!! Keep up the FABULOUS work!

I am very happy for your doctor's visit. Then to go to the gym and move the body, super! You're back. You took a quick break and returned.

I'm glad you had the courage to get back up and put you first. Congratulations on starting over. Keep us updated with your success.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Great job getting back to the gym. I think a lot of us are used to dealing with stress by eating. You turned to exercise to alleviate your stress today. That's a great turnaround! I want to be like you when I grow up!

you didnt fall off the wagon, you just took a day or two off.......do better now and dont worry about the rest....you have a life time to make yourself well...there is no time limit to get to your goal weight....one day at at time.

I had spinach and salmon for luch yestreday also lol. You are on the right track keep doing what you are doing!

LOL. your new normal. In the past, not normal. Post-op normal and great you recognized it.Good job!

seems normal to me...if you had enough by your 20 min mark, your done
sounds right....looks as if you are doing fantastic to me.

That is wonderful!!!! I have done that a few times and it is a great feeling to feel full with smaller portions. You're doing great.

You should consult your doctor for what they recommend. For me, I have been able to take all the same cold medicines as before. Also, the best thing you can do when you are sick is rest. If you force it working out, you may end up really sick wearing yourself down.
Feel better soon!

Feel better. Call your doctor, is true. I have a cold right now. My PCP told me to take children's liquid Mucinex. Also adults liquid Tylenol I have been given before. I suck on cough drops but I also have had the band since July.

If the cold is just coming on I highly suggest Cold-eze they do really help shorten the cold and lessen the severity.

i asked my dr about this very subject
iget allergies bad, pms etc......and he said to use tylenol...so i buy the walmart or walgreens (cvs) brands if tylenol...i try to buy liquid if possible but i do have caplets that i can swallow (i do break them in half if i fear they are too big)..
some people have posted motrin and things like that, but id refer to your dr in regards to any insaids just to be safe.
feel better girlfriend...

wrong..............sorry to correct you..
you are so beyond will power
you are a card carrying member with 100% want power
you are already writing your success story
you have so got this

Some of these people I work with are funny I just shake my head and keep telling myself I'm doing this for me.

That was wonderful. Were you really thinking to yourself-that fish is killing you? Fat in the veins and fat on the hips. That is how I have been thinking lately. Awful but true.
I love to read of great success in people's lives. This is one of them.

I'm so happy for you. I get my first fill on March 5th, and can't wait. keep up the good work.

You can do it, just carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go. That's what works for me and I drink anywhere from 80 - 100 ozs a day. Extra bonus is all the trips down the hall to the bathroom, lol.
Good Luck!!

I have to admit...I am struggling with this. I will keep at it. Thanks for the challenge.

Ladybabie, I am jealous of your 1 cup. I am restricted to 1/2 cup. Sometime I just eat out of the 1/2 cup just to make it easy. Like today I had chicken salad. I just spooned it into the 1/2 cup and ate out of that. Looks like you are doing good. I believe we were banded around the same time - Jan. 23rd.

I dont have a nick name for mine but I jokingly call it a port baby sometimes lol

You are doing great! Keep up the good work!

That is super. Every once I celebrate. I love the gym and never thought I would.

Keep up the good work. I recently joined the YMCA and look forward to getting busy myself. I had a very hectic schedule at work this week. I do plan on doing some form of exercise tonight, maybe a video. Maybe I'll be able to brag really soon
