ItsJustMe

Hi Elaine, I'd love to actually talk with you...If you'd like to e-mail me your phone number, I'll give you a call. My e-mail address is paula419@cox.net. If not that's OK too, but I promise I'm not the stocker type, it's just easier to have an actual real time conversation. I do think that 2 lbs is normal/average.

Hi Everyone, Thanks for answering my crazy message. I took an Ambien last night about 45 min. before I logged on to LBT, I just looked at what I wrote Holy Cow!!! I guess I can't spell on Ambien (Note to self...Spelll Check!!) anyway thank you all for reading my mess, but what do you think? Should I get my scheduled fill tomorrow? How much restriction is it when you hit the sweet spot. This will be my fourth fill and the tightness kind of scares me. Thanks guys... :help:

Hi Guys, I don;t talk on these boards all that often, but I lurk endlessly ;o) The point is...I feel like a failure,I had my surery on June 20th and lost about 20lbs during that phase and now I can;t even lose aone single ounce. What is up with that..I have hired a trainer and we meet a my gym three mornings a week I started out at 225 on June 20th and here it is Oct.1 and I've only lost 20ish pounds. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???? I can feel restriction. I do get things stuck anend up slimbing, but I have never PBed . I can eat most things still with some stickage. Here's the question....should I get another fill on Tuesday Oct.2nd. Any and all opinions are welcome. Are there any othe non /slow losers here? What to have a Party???? I'll bring the food )

Yes, I did go to Dr. White. He is really a super guy. I was banded on June 20th and have had no problems at all. I've only lost 20lbs so far, I was hoping for a quicker loss, but I'll take what I can get. I feel great and would do it all over again in a minute. Do you live here in Omaha? Have you had your surgery yet? I live by 192nd and Pacific. Good Luck....:hungry:

Hi Everyone, Musicamomma, can I get in on the July challenge too? I could really use the motivation and the accountability. Why you say...Because I am the ultimate procrastinator!!!! My goal is to excercise AT LEAST 4x per week for 30 minutes = 420 minutes (from July 8 - July 31)

Hi Toni, I've been gone for a couple of days, but just had a chance to find you posts on your PBing & Slime :confused: You are so funny!!! Thanks!! I don't get filled for the first time until July 20th. I've been eating regular food, chewed really well and about 1/2 the ammount as usual, but I haven't lost any more weight since I stopped the liquids only. I know I shouldn't be worried, but I really loved watching the scale move down. It's good to be home and able to read al of your adventures with bandom.

Waters, LOL! I know exactly what you mean The same thing happens to me, I'm actually glad to hear it isn't just me. I thought I was losing it. Good luck in the morning .

Krystal, I just found your site for the first time today and just finished reading every ones posts. You are incredibly inspirational!!! Some one else said that this site should be required reading, I couldn't agree more. Keep trying girl, don't give up we're all in this together! Hugs and a BIG THANK YOU for your bravery and honesty!!

Holy cow Pippz you've really lost a lot of weight fast! How have you done it? We need tips, or at least I do :eek:

I'll give those a try...Thanks How about the pb'ing or slime, have you done that yet? Thanks for the replys everyone! Paula

I can't wait until I can walk into like the GAP or something and find a size! Oh the simple joys in life! I have a question about Vitamins. I am embarrased to admit this, but I haven't been taking mine or my Calcium... I know how important they are, but the chewable ones I ordered are so gross. I can't stomach them at all! Is anyone taking liquid vitamins. I have tried that in the past and its so much easier to "shoot" the liquid than chew that chalky nastiness! Thanks again for everyones advice and I am so glad we are all doing so good! :clap2: Danielle, You sound just like me when it comes to the vitamins and Protein...I've been really bad about taking them too. How about anyone else? How are you doing it and fitting it all in? I don't think I'm drinking or eating enough either, I'm so afraid of Pbing or getting the slime thing. I haven't done either fo these things yet and I think the fear of it has scared the pants off of me. I'm not losing anymore weight and I'm sure it's because I'm not getting enough calories! :help:
