He just likes to see his Woman jumping up and down like when they used to run on bay watch lol so to him you are one girls , because you are his. silly face .

Here's a few selfies the last one is how I look so far , wow I went back and noticed my face has gotten smaller I did know about the chins being gone but did not really notice my face till some one pointed it out to me.

I am going t and post a before during and still going pic here , I will post later when I am feeling smaller as these plateaus kill me , but I won't give up and I will continue . The first one is before, second during and third still going, the last one was taken in Feburary, 2014.

Got to post this one in share your nsv's here, I had about the same thing happen to me at the beginning of March , I stopped by where I used to work and one of my old Managers that is like in his 20's looked at e and said dang you have lost a LOT of weight and you look real good , made this 50 yr, Lady feel good , but then I told him I always looked good , there was just more of me , just y sense of humor , he knew it, but I was trying to talk to ne else and he kept staring so it made e feel real good, I know I like the compliments and that is great for you , I bet that made your day for some one to say that you were skinny, I will never e skinny , but I will take healthy and for some one to say that they notice I have los weight.

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:74061 OMG!!!!!! Both of you look so Awsome !!!! congrats to the both of you for doing so well all I can say is WOW! and keep it up, or should I say hold it down lol that's some accomplishement.

Just a suggestion there ay community centers , I know of one in Brea and there is one in Brea , I a pretty sure there are in most of our cites and also some of the Hospitals like UCI and Placentenia Linda , just a thought I think the UCI Hospital is on City Drive in Orange.

I am also in Orange county Calif, but my work schedule is a variable schedule , I live near Brea, Fullerton and Yorba linda, and I tried to go to a couple of support groups but they wouldn't let me because I did not have surgery with that Doctor, so I have been doing this through support on here from some great people.

I tried Atkins for about a month but with my thyroid issues I gained weight so I have to balance between carbs, sugar and other foods how ever I still for my sweet tooth cravings every once in a while I have a Atkins candy, there are some good ones out there and they taste like if I was just having my loaded calories and sugar bars so I have them.

I am not real sure but I think it is because we tend to drink to fast through a straw and I heard it also makes our band pouch expand that means it lets more food slip through also I heard it can damage your esoughous you might ask your Doc just to make sure , all I do really know is that since I had surgery alost 2 yrs. ago I have not drank through a straw and I tried a slurpee once since surgery and I didn't even hat through a straw but the experience was not good and yes found out they are carbonated.

There you are , you should post this on Banders exercise , and just to let you know we are on Hey Banders 5 by now , a couple of the guys also post , like catfish and Tomuchfun, and I know they also ride bikes and do marathons and such , I hope you are doing alright and soime one was asking for a cauliflower receipe not to long ago and I mentioned your breadsticks with no bread but with cauliflower, hope Family, Wife, kids and you are doing good.

Dang!! that's right you go you look great and I bet you feel a lot better.

Just looking at this pic fro the other pics I have seen through journey's since we started or I started in 2012 I can tell you have lost quite a bit and you look Real G d . Here's a picture of me and my new cut. IMG_20140412_202727.JPG

Just thought I would throw this out here, don't forget about the 5 day pouch test , or maybe try the 2 week pre op again to kick start your journey again, that's what I have tried , I would do the carb cyclying but my band won't let me as I can not do any doughy stuff , and I a just talking about my journey and experience and if I want a sweet I turn to Atkins candy , but they taste just like the real candy bars I tell my self only 1 and no ore even if I want ore so then I either start to do something else or sleep when I can and it s hard for me because I usually work nights.

Whew!!!! I was thinking it was just e for a while , nice to know that it is not only me that goes through this I got down quite a bit but I have about 60-70lbs more to go and it is tough one day it says lower then the next week it will say between 35 lbs more I was hoping to be at goal by a yr, out but I will even take 2 yrs. out any more than that I will think that I a not being successful and I am really trying, sometimes I think ya I want a doughnut or something like that but I know my band says know to all doughy bread substance so I don't even try it or I want that DR. Pepper drinking habit back but I rather like being able to walk , not being sick and having to go to my PCP all the time and I like the way I feel now, so I guess something is working.

Are you drinking to fast or maybe just to much at one time , just for me and it's almost 2 yrs, I still have to make sure I just drink and not gulp no matter how thirsty I am but it seems if I am full and wait for a couple of hrs, I still will burp and I know better than to take another drink even if I want to be it will come right out, this is just my experience.

How do you attach the thumnails from a Android cell phone , any help is appreciated as I am not technally inclined.

Sorry I noticed she is sleeved I thought we were on the band site , oh well , guess I didn't have my glasses on to notice ,oh well I will check when I see post or topics, just t make sure where I am , sometimes I don't even know lol.

If you read her post , lol then you would now it is about the different chapters diffrent states , that are trying to get going any one wants to volunteer time .

I see you were banded in 2011 I was banded in 2012 , my question for myself, newbies and who ever how long did it tae you and did you have any major plateaus, please let us know , you loo great and I would bet that you are more energetic and love your life style you have now what a accomplishment, Great.

Than you for putting Ajtexas in the spotlight this news letter , she has been one of my supporters along with many more and I appreciate that, I am not ready to tell y story just yet but when I do , Alex you and many more will know , However we need to put Carolina girl also known as CG to a few of us in the spotlight as she has lost and does what her Doc. tells her and follows the rules mostly and her Doc. even had her do a testiomonial to people who were thinking of wls and everybody can see the difference and she has came a long way from where she was till now and still going, so I nominate Carolina Girl.

I can't walk without the walk fit inserts at all in any shoes I wear , also I have flat, wide feet so I used to have to go to a specialty wide shoe to get shoes , now I can walk with my walk fit inserts , loo on line for them and my Mother just bought a pair of memory foam shoes from Skechers on line and I tried them they are very comfortable so look online for those also in Tennis shoes, they also have some memory foam sandles , yes they are a little pricey but worth it , hope this helped and of course new balance is al great.

No i Thanks Bandista. I have the burps too, which I have to weirdly admit feel awesome! Lol! My husband is like that's real sexy, I'm like hey it comes with the band. :-) I plan on calling my nutritionist on Monday. Maybe it's something I'm eating. Yep

It's nothing your eating it is just the band getting used to not having so much food , I am almost 2 yrs out and still have the gas issues , I just tell and warn people that the and will be playing music and I have no control the music it plays, but it is my band lol, and you will also get some rumbling sounds sooner or later it is not because you are hungry it is just what it does, sometimes , it will tae a while getting used to and oh the mind games we go through is rough but we get through as long as you follow what your doc and post op diet says then you will notice change before you now it . Thanks Bandista. I have the burps too, which I have to weirdly admit feel awesome! Lol!

I total get this one as my Mother is very obese and I wish the best for her , and I worry about her as we are only 16 yrs, apart , and we did ask if she would be canadate for wls , but her docs say her heart would not be able to take it so they won't do it and is diabetic and has to do insulin twice a day and take her pils 3 times a day , including asprin 5 times a day so I get it , eat to hear for you , I bet you are real happy that you don't have to do the insulin any more , pretty soon it will be just vitiamins for you Yeah !
