  1. Welcome to LBT! They monitored me very closely and I had no problems at all. Good Luck!
  2. Don't worry, we all feel the same way, it's only normal. You'll be glad you did it! It goes pretty fast, so you'll be in bandland before you know it. Don't forget to post and let us know how you did! Good Luck!
  3. You sounded like me when I first started. Yes, you will be able to do the program if you really want to. The first few weeks go by pretty fast and then you are on your way. Good Luck and let us know what you decide to do.
  4. My fills usually loosen up after a few days. If you have large pills, make sure you cut them up before taking them.
  5. Welcome to bandland! Please just follow your doctors orders, it's very important to heal up properly. Jello and popcicles helped me alot. Good Luck!
  6. Just bite the dust and go back. The sooner you get it over with the better. If you aren't filled properly you will gain weight and the doctor knows that. You are only human, and we fall off the wagon at times, but the best part is we can jump right back on and our band is waiting for us. Good Luck!
  7. Try to eat smaller meals at dinner and it really helps to eat better at breakfast. It works for most people.
  8. Try eating less in the evening and usually you can eat more in the morning.
  9. It's only normal to have lots of different emotions. Good Luck and don't forget to let us know how you did.
  10. I could always lose the weight, but it always came back. The band has helped me control that. Good Luck!
  11. I eat salads almost everyday, but I change the meat on the salad. It makes me think I am eating different stuff everyday. I love salads which also helps.
  12. Welcome to bandland and to LBT!
  13. Good Luck and let us know how things went for you! See you in bandland!
  14. Exactly what I was going to say. Most people don't come to the support boards unless they are having problems or just getting started out. I'm just addicted so I come here all the time. I love my band, and I couldn't have accomplished what I have without it. Yes, you still have to watch what you eat, but it's much easier with the band helping you out.
  15. Good Morning Y'all! Just a quick one to let y'all know I am still alive and kicking. Kat - You always get to take the neatest trips, they sound wonderful! Glad you had a really good time. Cindy - I do like the warmer weather, but not the 100's, that's too hot. I love the 75-85 though, I like working in the yard and swimming. I hate the cold weather that you have to wear a coat and turn on the heat! Jetti - Welcome to our world! We have quite a group here and we have a good time with each other. We are also very supportive to each other. You'll like it here! Mandy - How are you doing now? When is your trip? Sherry and Chrispy - I forgot when you are leaving too? Is it soon? Sherry is that tatoo healed up for a picture yet? Hello Darcy! Hope you have a great day! Patty - How's the week of fun going? Beanie - How's the new job, have you got them trained the way you want them yet? Well, if I missed ya I didn't mean to and I'll catch you next time around. Have a great one!
  16. Congrats on the baby~ Good things come to those who wait, your day will come!
  17. Welcome to LBT and to bandland! Glad to have you aboard!
  18. I do a variety of things, eggs, cereal, piece of meat, just what ever I feel like at the time. I don't always stick to breakfast food, leftovers are great too.
  19. My doc also said a full 6 wks.
  20. Welcome to LBT and bandland! It sounds like you are doing great with your band!
  21. Good luck! We'll see you in bandland!
