I'm staying on plan today because I want to get to onederland.

Congratulations everybody! I'm almost there I need to lose 5 more pounds and I will be there. I went for my one year check up after being banded and the nurse praticioner gave me some breakfast ideas to help me get these pounds off. I will start eating egg salad and turkey bacon for breakfast tomorrow (breakfast is my hardest meal as it doesn't really interest me). I hope to be in onederland by the 4th of July too. I wish everyone continued success and for those of you on your way to onederland we will be there soon just remember good things come to those who wait. See you all on the other side of the 2's. :ohmy:

Congratulations everyone! Keep up the good work! I don't know if I will make my goal but the progress that I have made to date is well worth it!

You can find answer to almost every question if you don't see a thread that relates to the question you have post a new one as you will get some great feedback.

I'm staying on plan today because I want to lose a couple of pounds more pounds before I celebrate my one year bandaverisary on this coming Saturday.

I'm staying on plan today because I need to. I need to get back to exercising and today is the day for me to start.

Hello everyone, just thought I would check in. I don't have any additional weight loss to record at this time but by next week I hope to have lost something. I'm re affirming my challenge today meaning I'm going to work my butt off to lose this weight by July 4th. Congratulations to everyone I see the numbers are moving.

Hello all, I haven't been here in a couple of weeks but I'm glad to see that everyone is doing well. Congratulations on onederland Roxie, I hope to join you soon. NJ, I'm glad to hear that you're doing better - keep your head up. Elaine, what is the name of the protein tea that you are talking about and where would do you purchase it? I would love to try it. I'm doing well, I haven't been really exercising this week and the scale let me know it so as of today, I'm back on track, when I leave work today I'm working out doing at least a one mile walk. I want to lose 20 pounds by August 6th that way I will hopefully be able to fit a size 12 while I'm on my cruise. I wonder how I would look in a bathing suit at a size 12 - I'm hopeful. Keep up the good work everyone! I will be checking on you all.

I'm staying on plan today because I want to lose this weight.

I too was a little nervous about the throat thing but they put me to sleep before doing the procedure so I never even felt them go in and when i finally came through (they woke me up because I was sleeping like a baby) they were talking to me and explaining that they were going to take me to my room. They said my surgery was a cinch and that they even repaired my hernia which I didn't even know. I walked a lot once I got to my room to keep the gas down and as a result I didn't even have to sleep with the cuffs that they put on your legs to keep you from getting blood clots. I enjoyed every minute of the surgery and I am loving my band. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm enjoying every day of my life because every day is different my band and I are becoming one more and more each day. So don't worry be happy, everything will be alright.

Congrats to all you new onederland members. I'm still working on joining you. I haven't been on the scale in a couple of weeks so I'm anxious to know where I stand. I don't eat a lot and I eat pretty healthy so hopefully I'm a couple of pounds closer. I will weigh in this week and let you know how I'm doing. Keep up the good work all of you and for those of you that are striving to get there we will do it together. I'll see you all on the other side of the 2's soon.

I've lost about 40 pounds. I started out in a 18/20 and you know some 22's if I got them from a cheap store. But now I am in a 14/16 Juniors which I guess can constitute about 2 sizes since I was always wearing women's plus before. I have jeans in a size 14 that I purchased recently but all my old jeans are a size 16 anything larger just doesn't fit. I hope to lose another 20 pounds before August so that I can fit in a 12.

Sorry to tell you the band doesn't stop the sweets from going down you will truly need your will power for that one. I can't eat pizza, sub rolls, toast, mushy bread, dry meat, cheap cuts of beef, over cooked baked chicken, pineapples, bananas, some rice, fatty ground beef (I found that the 93/7 groundbeef works best for me), there is more I just can't think of them right now. But remember your grocery bill will change because of the cuts of beef and Protein that you will have to purchase. I don't mind the fact that I can only eat quality steaks (porterhouse, t-bone, ribeye, newyork strip, etc). I love the band. Good Luck!

I'm am glad that you posted this thread because I will be flying to Florida from Virginia early August before boarding the ship to the Islands and I don't want any surprises. Any suggestions for my food on the cruise ship?

I'm staying on plan today because I need to lose some serious weight. I want to wear a perfect size 12.

I have to agree with Susan about everything. It appears that you may need a slight unfill. Don't stay to tight for to long. Best of Luck!

I'm staying on plan today because it only works if I do.
