      My computer glitched , sorry as I was trying to say at the begining it say I asked you people to send some Rain but not the cold weather my way and the last part is I said dancing to the Oldies with Richard Simmons because I can't go out side and enjoy my walk because I don't want to get sick.

       

  2. Ok le I mean banders Alex has posted about , having wls chapters to go to if any is interested in your state , I love the idea , I am here in Califrand it would be nice to have a special place to meet or do things with other banders , as Iid before I tried to get in to a couple of groups for banders but if your not with that Hospi or Doctor then they won't let you in and I don't think that's exceptable , I mean I have a bariatric surgeon that is 15 min. away , but I have to drive...

      it's a great idea Debbie. We talked about it with him at our meet and greet last month so we knew it was coming. I hope it's a great success.

  3. Just a tought , I was talking to someone about foods and I thought wow I don't eat any white starcstuff any more as my band says no no no , do you still eat white starchy stuff and how much , just a thought , see I ld love to eat the stuff but my band helps me to say no , because if I ate those things it would not be a good feeling and I like feeling good, just a thought.

      i don't and i won't... I use mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes...and have even made pizza with it...

      Spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti; etc... there are ways around it and I don't feel like I'm missing anything anymore

      I used to eat pasta all the time, but tummy gets bloated now, my comfort food is mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes, which the dr, just told me last week, to quit the starches, pasta and breads.. and yes they do make me feel yucky, but I still think I can.. and pay the price

  4. Happy Heart day to all banders and be Careful, Happy and Healthy.

  5. Does any one sill get stomach cramps & pains when your not hungry or is a signal that we need to eat , just a question, and it's funny my stomach still growls even when I have alrdy ate and am not hungry,

    1. Carlotta1

      Carlotta1

      My stomach growls big time right after I eat. I think this is my stonechat working to digest the small amount of good I am eating, as a matter of fact I can actually hear my stomach loud and clear , and feel it rumbling. It is not an issue for me .

      sometimes I hear and actually feel the pop of the food going into the stomach. makes me happy I know i'm not stuck.

  6. WOW what a mont for me , I had to send myoungest off to Utah to be better, then I found out y Cousins , husband GrandFather past away Monday , then spent a couple of hrs in the car waiting for my other son to get out of College , then today took my Mother to get a pacemaker placed in her , and my Kids Aunt went in and had to have a operation for Breas cancer, and I gained a lb , even after all walks and eating right I don't know what's going on , I gss it is the stress , I hope I do...

  11. Had to get out of the house after my walk this morning , so I went and visied my cousin that lives about a hr, away and my 20 yr, old went with me we had some good laughs , & watched the superbowl , had a good time.

  12. I am not having a good day , but I will walk it out and make time for my self to deflect and keep on my journey , because I am in and have been in it for the long journey , I used to hall around a lot and I will no longer haul the weight around any more thanks to the changes I have made and my lifestyle change.

      1/24/14 will be my 2 year anniversary for my band.65ish lbs. lost. At first major panic when I didn't feel good, "its the lap band!", now I just try to figure out what I ate or didn't. Lots of NSV, too, learning to recognize the NSVs,learn to accept compliments, know that it's ok to mess up,that I can get back up. I'm not perfect, never will be , never want to be PERFECT. I am always more than happy to share my experience when people ask me, but only to those tha...

      Surgery date was 2/24/12, total of 96 pounds lost. Band removed for medical reasons 12/18/13. To date, no weight regained. Taking a day at a time, and making exercise a high priority!

  14. I will be posting updated pics as I have lost another 3 lbs and went for a fill yesterday and when I waled in my Surgeon said you look like you lost more weight I will take it as I am losing more in inches than I am in weight but it is hard to get this last 0 something lbs to go .

  15. Hey , just a update for cruise to lose , Daywalsh is still trying to get thigs going , how ever she has been sick also , so I told her we were thinking of her and hoped that she gets better as I know some of us were wandering ihow many of us would probally go as it is almost tax time so we can plan for our vacations and whatever may be and try to save .

  16. Year 2012 Sept, for me started as a bandster, now as 2013 ends I a for one glad I made the choice to get banded, and being a good loser , by the end of 2014 i hope to be at goal and maintainig , I don't have to make that diet resouloution , any ore because I have a tool that helps me , and so many people just on the lapband forum sites that help , so I will leave the past in the past , and go forward in the future and like where I am in , in the present , Have a Wonderful New Year to all.

Ego boost , I went to my old store to just say hi to some of my old coworkers, as I was walking towards the Deli 1 of them (he) said to my other coworker (she) said look here comes Debbie so she was lookin straight at me and asked him where ? , as I got closer smiling with excitement I could see the looks on their faces it was great , she said he had told her and she said , she didn' t regconize me and of corse they all said that I looked amazing , that's why I said ego boost , e...
