I think I slipped my band...
Glad to hear you are fine! Those darn chips etc. go down too easy! I for one wish they would make me sick when I eat them! I actually gave them up Oct. 1 and I am proud to say I haven't touched one since! Now, if I can keep it that way! Good luck with your fill!

Getting Two Teeth Pulled
Pat I hate going too! I would just make him aware of your band just in case of emergency, and for medications. Tell him you are uneasy, maybe he will make it a little better for you. Good luck!

The count down is here...
Good luck! Your day will be here before you know it! I used to drink diet soda all the time, now I don't miss it at all.

Good Morning Y'all! Eileen - How you feeling today? I couldn't have went shopping after my surgery either! I actually slept in my recliner for a few days, it was easier than getting up and down from a bed. Hang in there, you'll be up and at it before you know it! Rene - I am like you, I would rather keep busy than sit around and look for something to do, it makes my day go so much faster. Thanks on the pictures! Cindy - Hey girl, I hate to think about the way I type things sometimes. I really have to watch it when I am working, I have learned to shortcut sentences/words so much on the computer that now I have trouble when I am actually typing a letter or composing one! Bad, Bad habits! Ira - You know that really sucks big time. They always have an excuse don't they? Sometimes I wonder if it isn't just better not to tell them till later. They want you to tell them the truth, then punish you because you did! By the way, you are doing great with your band! Pat - I would love to see some pictures of your bike! Post some please! Lisa - Good morning! How's that computer doing? It is going to be a beautiful day here today, I think I will get out and enjoy a little bit of it! Later!

Was anyone given a catheter?
I had one and was thankful I did! It didn't make me sore or anything and made things a lot easier for me the first night.

Today is my Bandiversary!
Thanks y'all! That really means a lot to me! No, I didn't buy new leathers yet, but when I put my coat on this weekend, I could wrap it clear around! I think I will wait a little longer to get a new coat, at least till I lose a little more weight. I want it to fit me for a while longer!

Good morning! I'm on my way out the door, but wanted to check in and see how you (Eileen) were doing this morning. UGH! Not a good thing to happen to you right now with Aunt Flo. Just remember to do a little walking around the house. I think that helped me more than anything else did. If you get any shoulder pain, use a heating pad. It really does get better with each day. Sip some warm tea, treat yourself nice today! Hugs! Good morning everyone else! Hope y'all have a great day! I'll check back in later on today when I get home.

challenge for myself
Good for you Vines! No one diet works for everyone, and I think experimenting to find out what will work for you is the right way to go about it. I am wishing you luck!

Today is my Bandiversary!
I have been going through my stuff, looking for a before picture that y'all haven't seen before. I found a couple of them, I guess I was hiding them because I had to dig pretty deep! I actually thought I looked good then! lol Anyway, here is the first one, if someone wants to put them side by side please do.

Am I doing the right thing?
Darcy - I too would have to try it one more time. My band has changed my life so much, I don't know what I would do if I lost it. Good luck!
