  1. Wow!! That is so crazy. I sure hope it all works out for you.
  2. That is great!!! Keep going and don't stop listening to your band.
  3. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I would try and appeal. Maybe your doc can write them a letter stating that its medically necessary for it to come out. Good luck and best wishes.
  4. Sorry it didn't work out for u. Good luck in your future.
  5. It depends for me. I try to eat my last meal before six. Last night I actually ate a sausage after 8 and went to sleep by 9. This morning I was swollen with fluid. Don't think it hurt my band any.
  6. Awesome!!! Glad to here you're feeling better.
  7. I totally understand. While I do have a support system, it's still not like coming here because they are just not on the level of where I am with my journey. I have cheated and probably will continue to in the future but that's life. We start over again the next day and try to do better. Anyway, hugs to you.
  8. Wow! I hate that you're in an environment without support but am glad you found it here. Keep up the good work and congratulations!!!
  9. I remember going through the same thing. Isn't it a great feeling??? Keep up the good work.

  14. I also had a hernia repair with my surgery. I'm almost three years out have met my goal and is still losing. U will be fine. Congratulations!!!
  15. Good question. Can anyone else out there relate to this or am I just crazy?????
  16. Hello everyone. I've been meditating on my weight loss journey today. My doctor said his goal for me was 134 lbs and I was like yeah right. I will be happy if I make it to 150 which is what I weighed in high school. As of yesterday, I'm now 144 and I thought my scale was playing a trick on me. So I weighed in today and sure enough, I weighed in at 144.8 lbs the exact weight from yesterday. I'm not saying this for kudos or anything I'm saying this because I remembered what my doctor's goal was for me at that moment this morning and now I realize well that's only 10 more pounds. First of all, I'm still trying to process the fact that I'm 144 and I'm not even trying to lose. I just am. The band is really doing it's thing here. So what I'm feeling right now at this moment, is SCARED!!!!!! I can't explain it I just feel like I don't want to be that small but then I do. I don't even remember being this weight I imagine in junior high but me, 134 pounds???? Are you freaking serious????!!!!!!! I don't know maybe I'm stressing for no reason but I just can't grasp this right now. I guess because I have been so used to being big, I don't know what it feels like to be small and for that reason I'm scared. Thanks for listening.
  17. You all can add me too. I'm ladyvlesmall on mfp.
  18. It's good for me. Let's see what the others think.
  19. Setting goals are great. They keep you focused. That's okay that you forgot about the meeting yesterday, we are planning for November 30. Would that be good for you?
  20. Yes ma'am. It depends on everyone's schedule. Maybe November??
