So stopping by Circle K or QT for a Diet Coke was a wonderful pleasure of mine. I have gone "cold turkey" off my Diet Coke and carbonation for that matter. Today I discovered diet green tea Peach flavored! I was starting to worry about going back to work on 8/2 (I'm a teacher) and having no caffeine. I am excited to have this as I often get bad headache that turn to migraines quickly. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Sounds like a plan! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I teach so I could possibly do a day after school or any weekend day. I can go today too if you aren't busy.

When can we meet up? My 18's are falling off my body! I live in the east valley. Let me know!

Since this post is so old, I'm wondering if you have any smaller sizes now? I'm looking for 12/14/16 currently. I'll glad buy your Starbucks! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Thank you, I love my bathroom! Although, you weren't supposed to notice the messy bathroom. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

So meet the teacher night was this past Monday. I had to dig deep into my closet and came up with this! I was told many times I looked "hot"! I'll take it!! Today I wore jeans and a school shirt from last year. I was told I now need new clothes. Okay! So nice to hear!!

Thank you for your kind responses. I did feel great! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

My students came back today and let me tell you I hit the ground running. I got to work at 6:45 today with the intent of getting some stuff done before kids get there at 8:15. Well...that didn't happen. Issue, after issue today. I realized at 5:15 PM that I had not eaten all day. Not a thing. My yogurt for Breakfast was forgotten, my lunch...well, what is lunch anyway for teachers? One of my students knocked my precious CAFFEINE loaded diet peach green tea on the floor. Phew! What a day. Luckily having my band made me not feel like I was dying! I was able to deal with the craze of the day and then go out for a birthday dinner. Now I am going to pass out and do it all over again tomorrow. Except hopefully I get to eat! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

So, scale aside, what are some of the places you first noticed your weight-loss? Here's what I noticed first: My calves got thinner My face And my upper arms (biceps) Just recently I noticed my bra seemed a bit large. Sure enough, "the girls" have shrank significantly (thank God). I really want to see more in my waist and hips now! Tell me yours! I thought it was weird to lose in my calves first...haha!

So my emotions are on full blast these past two days. My very best friend has been fighting for her life since May 2009. She has had some major victories as well as many setbacks. Friday she was given another nasty setback. Anyway, she has now begun some "finals" and I am not dealing with it very well. One of our things was Disneyland. Girls trips to Disneyland just because. She told me last night we need to plan another trip soon. I have ALWAYS been an emotional eater and these past two days have been bad. I have maintained my eating within my band parameters, but find myself searching out food. Anyway, I guess I can look at this as a NSV of sorts, but it is hard finding joy while thinking of the future. All I want to do is cry. Thanks for letting me "vent".

I made it to "ONEderland"! It has been a loooong time since I've seen a one at the beginning of my weight. I'm so happy and excited I want to cry! I'm pretty sure I have a permagrin!

I asked this specific question at my first fill appointment and was told all are okay as they will tell me to take Ibuprofen for inflammation and what not. I just had to seek out pills that were no larger that a low-dose baby aspirin. I did find some small size Ibuprofen at good ol' WalMart. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk
