      I watched part of that sow, its seemed more in-depth than the other show, or maybe I just saw too much of myself there,..

      Hi Debbie, Stress is doing you in right now. It's holding on to everything in case you need it. Your doing great, and your very strong. This too shall pass trust me!

      I agree this too shall pass, sometimes we are the last ones to realize and see just how far we've come, keep going friend, hope all ends up ok..

  6. 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.

  7. I had a NSV today I bought a new phone , and I was transfering my nimbers and Relized had many fast food resturaunts I had programmed in there so I deleted them I just thought this was funny as it seemed like I just had to call and it would be ready so no more Fast food resturaunts in y phone.

      That's an awesome and funny NSV :) That made me think if someone found our phones and looked through our numbers to get in touch with us, how much it would say about who we are as individuals

      :)

  8. Went to Lapband Doc today , found out I have 10cc's in my 14cc band thought it was 11 or 12 but it was 10 , no fill as he asked how I felt and said you have lost a 100lbs with excitement in his voice and said remember when I first met you and asked if I knew where my cane was or if I threw it away , I said no I keep it in my trunk as a reminder of how big I was and had to ise it to hold up my weight and legs because I couldn't walk with out it , and now almost 2 yrs, I have been able to move comfortabally , except for my back issues, , I am o happy another 50 to go and I will be at my goal .

      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!

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

    1. BigGirlPanties

      BigGirlPanties

      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

    2. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      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

  17. Well going to my band surgeon today , but it kind of sucks with my hormones out of wack , because just 2 weeks ago I was down to 165 , now I am back up to 186 I don't get it ad yes I am also eating right and still do my protein drinks and I a drinking my Isopure 3 times a day sometimes 4 and they have 40 grams of protein in 1 bottle , I am also takig my thyroid medicine so I don't get it , I a not happy at this moment .

  18. I was taking my son to school this morning and we we're talking , something came up and he said let e make some flubber buber jokes before you become real skinny I just laughed and thought to myself I must be losing , if he made a stament like that as you see I took it as a positive thing., then I told him to be quiet or I would smack him with my wings lol .

      Debbie3sons

      Oh we have always been humorous I will tell them about them also & if the line is crossed and I feel hurt I will let them know, all my kids & I have had a open relationship since they were little as a single Mother of bboys I have had to do the talk & show them other things so we are cool like that , they know they can talk to me about any thing.

  19. 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...

      Debbie3sons

      Not yet near the fires , thank goodness , but a few yrs. ago I had so much ash on my car and where the freeway is , I had to drive through that just to get to work, most of the fires out here are a ways away so far, the few good things is I can wear my shorts and tanks or the fun outfits and the shines bright so it wakes me up and the sweating I don't like it but maybe I can sweat some more lbs off lol.

  24. 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 .

    2. terrydumont46

      terrydumont46

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