I'd also be more than happy to do some of this stuff free for my lapband sistas! :mad2:

It could be the port. I remember feeling mine as a lump, and since it wasn't where I thought it was, I was convinced I had cancer or something.

I'm 5'7" also, and at 145 I look like a dinosaur. Head too big for body, bones sticking out everywhere. People were telling me I was too thin (of course I still saw fat fat fat). I can't imagine what they'd have said in the 120s. My goal is 156 for now. I was a size 8 at that weight, and that's all I can really ask for. Not all 5'7"s are alike, you have to pick your own number. You may get to 170 and decide you'd like to lose another 30, or you might be happy there. It's really your call!

Ok I'm a crackhead, I meant this for the Too much information thread. LOL

I'm pretty sure a serving of wine is only 2 points, Julie!

I feel your pain! I hadn't moved a pound in almost two weeks (finally moved today). WTH!!! It'll go back down, just drink 83 gallons of Water tomorrow!

I always have a tab with LBT open on my browser. I only check new posts about 43 times a day, though.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this or not? Before my surgery my BP was just out of control. They put me on medication, and even still it was unacceptably high. About a week before my fill, I ran out and hadn't gotten around to picking up the refill yet. I went for my fill and my BP was 128/83. Without meds for a week!! My BP has been high for 4 years, and just losing 20 lbs it's back to normal. That's just nuts to me!!! But I'm glad I'm not going to have a stroke. lol

$786????????

It takes a few days to break the carb addiction, too. Once you get past that, I think you'll find yourself much less hungry. Hang in there!

I was sure they'd act like that when I went in, but the guy is always perfectly nice and even recommends different Protein powders that he's tried and liked. Sorry you got a jerk.

I go in there for 5 seconds and am like "omg can't breathe, might die, must save myself". Not sure how people sit in there for 30 minutes or more. LOL

I'm sure it's a resolution issue.

I'm definitely feeling SOME restriction, but not quite as much as I probably should. I do laugh when I eat though, compared to before! Today I had a salad from Panera and ate about 1/4 of it. Maybe 1/3. I used to eat the whole salad AND an entire sandwich. This thing just might work. Seems like I am eating about 25% of what I used to. I guess that's good. I really can only base this on restaurant food because that's about all we eat. I'm not much of a wife. LOL My usual meal at the mexican place feeds me 3-4 times now, and that's without the basket of chips I used to eat along with it.

How fun would that be? We should have a get together with all the folks that are at/below/near goal and do some outdoor photo shoots. FUN!

lol @ frisky apple lady. I am not sure I meant to cause SUCH a stir with this thread. But it is nice to know I wasn't the only one.

There's a fine line between advice and spam. I think you crossed it the 2nd time you posted this exact message. How many is this now? 3? 4? (And under how many user names?)

Wouldn't it be cool if I switched to cleaning the house? lol

You probably have the AP-S. That holds 10cc.

Are you to eat 5x a day? That's like every 2 hours, when will you drink? lol

Not to hijack C's thread even more, but re: old lady cleveage... Lately my v-neck shirts have been getting to be a little TOO low cut as they get to be too big. Dh and I were joking around with the kids about mushrooms putting hair on your chest, or something. I said "I don't have hair on my chest" and tried to pull my shirt down a little bit just to show my upper chest. But, I forgot it was already down that far so ended up pulling it down WAY far. My 15 year old son is probably going to kill himself tonight. :thumbup:

I'm doing WW with my neighbor. I stay around 20 points, give or take. That's roughly 1000 calories.

Come on over to Cleveland for a photo shoot :biggrin:

I'd be glad to take a nice high key white background picture of any bandster that wants to swing by and be photographed. :biggrin: I'd give one of mine, but I'm still fat, so that wouldn't motivate anyone. LOL And, for the record, I never said anything about the woman PERSONALLY, just about the pose. So, I guess I was criticizing the photographer more than her, if you want to get technical.

Only on LBT would my belly button anus be considered cute.
