That is so great! I wish you the best of luck! Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it!! :thankyou: Big hugs!! katie

Hey there! I don't know if anyone remembers me, I have been a bad girl and have been absent for quite awhile. My name is Katie, I'm from KY and I was 'banded' 9/21/04. So far I'm about 75 pounds down (hence the new profile pic and avatar.) I feel great but I'm at a stalemate. I have been excercising and I'm hoping that will kick things back into gear. I just wanted to say hello again!!

Sammee have you tried Seafood? Pork is a no go for me to and usually so is beef so I understand where your coming from. I don't know what it is about it but it's not a fun time is it?

Another good one is Unjury...put the vanilla in some milk and mmmmm it's like a milkshake and it's 20 grams per serving not including the milk protein too. I think there's only like 5 grams in a slimfast shake...not worth the calories either...please let us know what's going on with you! Did your doctor suggest having the band removed??

Ok kids I'm down to 308.8 this morning..that's 4 lbs in two weeks...I can't believe it's actually working lol

Hey there! I don't have my fills under fluro but it's gone really well until this last time...he had a little trobule finding the port with his fingers (he said because as you loose weight and your belly gets more lose the port can move around a llittle bit)but once he was sure he found it he just stuck me one time and that was it....

Oh wow guys these are GREAT...I'm copying them and sending them to my nutritionist!! Keep em coming your helping me out a TON!! Thanks sooooo much!! Katie

Hi guys! My Dr.'s support group is taking suggestions for upcoming months and I was just wondering what are some of the things you guys talk about in yours (if any of you go to group)?? I thought this would be a great place for ideas....next month there is a Plastic surgeon coming but after that I'm not sure what....any input would be great! Thanks a million! Katie

OMG I think Bruce Willis is very sexy!!! Way to go babe!!! That's a NSV if I've ever heard one :)

Shamrock, hope you are back to your old self in no time! Do they think it's Endometryosis (major spelling error)....please please keep us posted, take care and we'll all keep you in our prayers that everything is okey dokey

with this whole drama thing of everyone leaving and being mad....I dont like it...it's like my family is breaking up....Lisa I wish you would stay, your posts always make me laugh, and cry too sometimes (glad your healing up well by the way)....as for the rest of you guys I dont know what happend, dont know if I want to know but I DO know I love all you guys, your support, your love and especially your candor. So what I want to know is......Can't we all just get along??? Yours truly, Sad Katie

OH wow I hope everything goes great for you, I'm praying for you please come update us and let us know how your doing!!!!!!!!!

Made mine take an educated guess pre-banding and boy was he way off! lol..He's 6'3" and 200lbs so it was always a big deal to me....now of course he knows and he's been so proud of me lately I dont mind talking to him about it!! It's almost liberating being able to say it out loud to him and my family...on the other hand I had no problem telling you guys, cause your all so great, dont judge and love me anyway!

Ok guys down 3lbs this week....good luck to all and see you soon!!

Wow sweetie i'm so glad it was only gas and now that you 'relieved' yourself that your all better

i'd say it took me two good fills of 2cc's a piece before I started seeing restriction..now that i'm up to a total of 5cc's I can tell a big difference! You'll get there sweetie, dont rush it, 20lbs gone is 20 gone forever and your doing a great job! it takes awhile at first but then before you know it you'll be loosing like your supposed to! Good luck!!

i will occasionally have a tiny sip just if i feel like i really want one but honestly i dont miss it anymore, especially after reading the thread on here aboit using cokes as a driveway degreaser!!!
