Hey great...thanks for the support. I have found that when I am sober...lol I just feel better...but getting past the first few days are hell. I also hear that artificial sweeteners make you hungry.

gosh my band holds 11cc I not even close...

Hey ya'll I am going to kick the caffine habit. I started Sunday with only drinking water (propel counts for me) I realized that I have a habbit with caffine. Ilove Chi Tea and Mt. Dew. So maybe this will help with the weight too. Although that is not my concerne. The last time I did this I had a headache for three days. I think it was the de toxing. I felt wonderful after day four. I wonder now why I ever started drinking Caffinated things again. So I choose water because I know there is no caffine I won't cheat. Anyone want to join me? I could use some support buddies.

I went to school in Pocatello....Go Bengals...I lived in Turner Hall!

Thanks for the post!!! I'll ask for directions later.. Thanks for being the host... And pishaw to anyone who can't get along for a weekend!

T~ Keep strong.... You can do this. It sounds to me like you are more worried than you should be. Go get on the scale. And stay away from Taco Bell (Hell) that food is crap. Bad for you and your digetive system. You need support I am here to support you. PM me and we can be buddies. I have lost 90 + lbs and there are days that I feel like a fat looser... and not in the good way. SO keep your head up and keep strong.

That has been the same for a lot of us...since this is a tool and I know I can eat way more in the evenings I save more calories for then. I also go do something else for 5 min when I want to eat so that I know it's hunger and not my being board.

Vegas is comming...Vegas is comming ....Yes I need the vacation if not the rest. I can't wait to meet all of you. DO we have an itenerary. I will be bowling in the morning and I get a massage for my annaversary present...but after that I am all about meeting the girls...(and any guys that are coming) Yea!!!!!!

Hey ya'll have a person who wants to know about a Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Acuna Mx. Anyone ever heard of him?

hope you are feeling better. When I fly I am always more restricted...maybe it will loosen up in a bit. Good Luck:)

sorry dislexic...lol

gendersue I am sorry that you have not had success. I too agree with you that there are good and bad things that go with banding and rny...All of my friends who have nhad the RNY have gain almost all of their weight back. While this journey has seemed long for me 86 lbs in a little over a year has been fabulous. I did not change much. Ate more than I should and worried alot if this was going to work while it was doing just that. Changing my bad habits. It forced me to do that a little at a time which I don't think The RNY does. It is sooo fast that the person does not change any habits formed over their lifetime. And so they have a tendency to have to either live with gaining back the weight or doing like my friend Dana and having it done again. Just my 2 cents. BTW this was not directed at you GenderSue...I was just sorry to hear about your trouble with the band.

I have been banded over a year...never could feel it...only the effects if I eat to much...lol

Congrats leatha...but if your ever in Cali look me up...we just bought a new home also! Will be in on the 6th of june

Thanks! See you in a few days! I am so excited~!

Betty that sounds great...Can I also have a ride! I love harleys!

I'll be in Dallas, Tx on Friday the 20th of May...PM if you would like to get together.

Babs, Have you tried working out at a different time. Sometimes our bodies plateau and we need a change. Either in workout or in time of workout. Also try working out on an empty stomic, or with pre digested meals such as a meal replacement. Then your body won't bother with digestion and can go strait to the work of cutting off the fat. I also know that while you are excercising you shall gain weight like was said earlier. Muscles weigh more than fat, but they also burn more calories. Don't let an imaginary number ruin what you have been doing. Keep strong and look seriously in the mirror. What do you see? I think if you look closely you will see a beautiful woman!

You can do it!
