I went through this for a long time & still do from time to time. It's part of what got us all here in the first place. Pick yourself up & dust those knees off! & keep working for fills! It sounds to me like you still don't have proper restriction. When you do get to your sweet spot, you can't, or at least you are less likely, to cheat & over eat. But, until you get there, we are all here for you!

Thanks! I can even tell a difference!

Plans have changed! We're not going!! Yay!!! I can stay & play!!!!

Wow! Yay!!! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Thanks everyone! It's still slow going, but better slow going than no going! Right! I even gained 10 lbs. But it's not gonna get me down! I have already lost 5 of it! I also joined all of the challenges. I need the butt kicking! Just kick softly. I do have back problems. LOL!!

You can do it!! Welcome! We are here for you! Congrats on your upcoming surgery! Sorry about your Mom.

I'm in too! Just go easy on me sarg. My back is out. :nervous starting weight - 300lbs. measurements: neck = 17 inches upper arms = 18.5 inches bust = 53 inches waist = 48 inches hips = 57 inches thigh = 32 inches calf = 20 inches I know you probably didn't want all of these measurements, but I need to see it!

Okay so my official starting weight was 305. I have already lost 5 lbs! My NSV - I actually folded clothes today! (hated it! hated it! hated it!) 1/1/06 ~ 3/1/06 LBT WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE LIST OF FABULOUS PRIZES! 1. Gift basket from Slumber Parties by Lisa (DeLarla) 2. Shanna 3. Anwyn 4.

I'll have to remember this. Sometimes it hurts to swallow liquids because my band is so tight. And then other times I could eat a horse. This is good info. Especially for the newbies. Thanks

I wish that's where mine was. Before my revision (for my flipped port) it was just under my right breast. Now it is almost right beside my belly button on the right side. It sucks! But it hurts a lot less than my flipped port did.

Ohhhhh....... She looks so sweet!

Jackson is my Schnauzer & Mabel (short for Mabelline) is my mutt. Mabel chose us last summer & showed up when she was about 6 weeks old, outside of my chicken pen screaming! She is so loveable! I'm glad she chose us! They are so bad! I couldn't get them to put the toy down for a group picture!

The jeans Lonnie bought me were LawMan jeans. They come in the odd sizes. Instead of a 26-28W they come in 25-26W & so on & so forth. They fit me much better than others that I have tried. They also have just enough spandex to make them comfortable (except for my port), but not enough to make them stretch out & fall off. I think he said that they did come in low rise too. I'll have to check it out.

y'all do need to start a phone chain with each other. Has anyone heard from Francesca? I hope she's doing good!

You are doing so good! I don't think I would have been that good! Great NSVs for the New Year! Thanks for updating!

Oh! I forgot you're an Aussie! I will look for the low rise next time I'm in town. Thanks!

Jacqui, what brand are they?

On Jan. 3. I posted a new pic of me & Lonnie. It's on my birthday thread in the general LapBand Discussion forum. Could someone please make me a new avatar? I just can't figure out how to do it. Thanks!!!!

After finally getting back in touch with you guys, I have to leave to go to OK this weekend. If anything exciting happens, y'all better PM me about it! A lot can happen in 2 days!

I'm numbed too!

Betty, I hope mine gets better too! It was disappointing.

LOL! Actually Lonnie really likes em!

They are awesome! & very stretchy! It feels like you don't have anything on. They are the only panty I will wear now.

My husband does too! He bought the jeans for me for Christmas, & he will not keep his hands off my rear when I have them on! LOL! It was an interesting Christmas!
