3 out of 8 isn't bad Right?...I haven't ever been able to do a real push up, and with recent surgery on my elbow I won't be doing one anytime soon:

I'm not a runner, I prefer to walk fast and far. And my Bikini days are gone forever (kids do that to ya) Oh yeah, and the dating part might upset my spouse just a tad...lol

BUT I believe you can do this!!! beanie80 #8 is going to happen before you know it!! Keep us posted I'll be looking forward to all your 8 goals and achievements happening for you!

Opps my bad must have been a typo ...lol Didn't realize age was a prerequisite for being a Troll since I've seen the term on here before. But as I mentioned before, If your a resident in Michigan and live under the great Mackinaw Bridge then your a TROLL.My parents are extremely PROUD of me Jean , but thanks for asking

WOW, that's really awesome. I love flowers and take pictures of them all the time,more than of people. When i'm on vacation family members will ask why no pictures of people? ...lol I tell them people are boring nature is prettier Thanks for sharing!!

My nutritionist told me that it takes years for the Mind to catch up to the realization that your thinner. I believe this totally because I pass the Mirror each day and can see the WL but I still Think and Feel FAT. You've done and awesome job!! The idea of talking to someone that understands eating disorders is a great idea..........Think about why you thought being thinner would make you happy, was it because you'd be able to do more? The hardest part with or without WL is LOVING who you are on the inside first..It's a TOUGH first step, but you did this, I know you can get past that. HUGGS

The doctors are favoring the band less not only because of the complications that previous studies have stated but because of the complications that they and other surgeons have experienced since banding people. And since the LB seems to have a higher rate of revision surgery that might be a deciding factor? JMHO
