merry christmas everyone!!!!

kanineg, im glad there coming. maybe they bring pics of the trip they just got back on. also me and kim is thinking about going to las vegas in feb. you and zach should go with us. razberry, i weight myself about every other day until this month. just because im afraid i have gained a little. so im working out more this week before i go to the meeting this weekend. which i will weight there.

my port really hasn't hurt at all. but i do catch myself rubbing my port site alot. dont know why i just do it. kim always ask is it hurting and i tell her no i just rub it. well im looking forward to the meet this saturday. i really need it. i have dropped off alittle. but im still going to the gym at least 3 days a week. i feel like i have gained a pound our so since last time i weighted at the dr's office. im hopping not. i guess i will see come saturday. this weekend is going to be fun. first i got the support group meeting. then come home to have my little girls b-day party. and then off to a xmas party. so kaninag, i hope you and zach are rested up. it should be a fun night, if everyone shows up.

on making sure the fill went in. if you watch them do it you can see them open one of the valves on the needle. air bubbles will come out, then they will push some in and then pull it back out. that tells them that it went in correct. at least thats the way it was told to me by dr.miles. im afraid to get on the scales this week. i think i have gained a pound our two. at least i feel like i have.

yea, when i dont chew to good it hurts me to. are when i eat to fast it does the same. well i didnt lose anything this week.

hello everyone! venzwife, i got to see dr.miles my first time. debbut, you might need to talk to someone.lol j/k

glad to see it went good for you. my first fill didnt kick in until about 5 days later for some reason. but my second was as soon as i got it.

the fill isnt that bad. dont worry you be fine.

me to. im going to try and get there alittle around 930ish to. i might not can stay to long after the meeting but i will stay as long as i can. since its natalies bday party then to your house for some xmas party fun.

yes i know where top of the river is. i called them and talked to marty and she told me there not going to have anymore this month but will start back at the first of the year. so im game to go then. and she was happy to get other people to come and join the group meeting.

i have no idea where it is. but if you go i can meet you some where and follow you. i give them a call. thanks

yea i would like to go. give me details. and fi you got a number i can call and make sure its ok for me to go.

di i did cheat a little when i was in the smokies. it seemed that all i did was it. and i ate some pie to. it was so good. i also get on the scales everyday. but i dont change my ticker until i weight at the dr. office our at support group meetings.

alabama, thanks im doing what i can. and when you get you first fill you should see a weight lost. bandofhope, dont worry i believe you will be ok. im with Kanina with this. there just weeding out some of the people.

well i went and got my second fill today. it went ok, a little better then last time. dr.miles done my fill this time again. i asked why he did mine and not some of the other people i know. i was told that he does the men and lisa done the women now. since there was so many to do they split it up. but i did get some great news today. i made my first goal. i have now lost over 53 pounds. im so happy. so now my next mini goal for me is to lose at list 80 pounds total before spring. so i need to lose another27 pounds by then. i would love to lose a total of 100 pounds by then but i dont know if i can. hows everyone else doing?

so can anyone that has had the lap band done come? if so i believe i might check it out. its a little closer for me. but i will still be going to the ones in bham.:biggrin:

on my 6 month diet i lost 35 pounds then gained it back when my mother in law past a way. then after i started getting back in the gym i lost 17.5 pounds and kept it off. im like ford i believe its to weed out the people that dosent want to comment to trying to lose weight. and there is alot of people that just dont do it because there lazy. well im going monday and getting my second fill. not sure on how much i will get. i dont think i need much maybe 1cc. i done good during thanksgiving. i didnt eat much but i did have a piece of oero pie that i made. i made it with the sugar free pudding and lite cool whip. im hoping to have a good weight in monday. im hoping for around being 350-355. i want to be 351.5 by xmas. that give me 50 pounds lost. but i will take more.lol i need to update my weight lost on my ticker but i will wait until when i get back monday.

well another one for the tide!! now to go and fight off the next team next saturday.

oh yea ROLL TIDE !!!!!!!

i had a great thanksgiving! i go monday for my second fill. im hoping it gos alot better then the first one. and i get to see what there scale tells me. im hoping to be close to the mini goall i have set for myself. last time i weighed here at home i was 5 pounds away from it. so im hoping there scale reads like mine does.

just wanted to tell everyone happy thanksgiving!

hello everyone. got back from the smokies today. we had a great time! we done alot of shopping and riding looking at the wildlife this time. got to see a very big fox adn alot of deer. one of them was about 4 feet from my window. when we went shopping at the tanger outlets we walked the entire thing. but this time i never got where i was tired. and before i couldnt walk have way with out sitting down and resting. so i felt so good to be able to do that. and another thing since losing weight i can now buy stuff off the rack. didnt get to do any hiking this time, because it was to cold for the kids to hike. well im very tired and im going to get some sleep i check back in later.

alabama, your getting in the protein. but you need more calories. you should be getting in at least around 900-1100 on the low end. if you dont get enough calories in you want lose weight. so try to get a little more calories in. and you should see some weight loss then. but when you get that port site cleared up please start walking and exercising. you really need to do that to loss the weight. i know you cant right now but you will soon. also try eating another snack if you can at night. like suger free jello pudding. its just 60 calories and that will help getting more in. i had a long talk with ashley about calorie intake at my 6 week check up. and she helped me under stand on how much claories i needed. but dont worry that wait will start to come off in due time. keep up the good work. debbut, i will have to say i didn't feel anyway different until i got some new clothes and had to go down 2 size in shirts and 2 sizes in pants. bow i can look in the mirror and see a new me already. i feel like im more outgoing person now. and i hope i keep feeling that way as i lose more weight. and don't worry debbut you will feel like a new woman when you start losing the weight and know its not coming back this time.

ford, im doing all i can. i would love to be where paul is now with 100 pounds in 10 months. man that would be great. and i have her email but its at home. i can get for you tonight if you dont get it before then. i got a final bill from them yesterday and i owe them 575.50. so it cost me a total of 875.50 for the surgery and a year worth of fills. i guess thats not to bad. debbut, like ford said it will be here before you know it. it took me over a year to get everything ready and it went by very fast. now it seems that it takes for every for the support group meetings to get here. im hoping that at the next one i can stand up and say i have lost 50+ pounds. that would make me feel so great. im going to hit the gym alittle more then i have been, and see if i can make that happen. we are gong to the smokies thursday and im looking forward to do some of the hiking trails up there. and i never before wanted to do any. have a nice day. and remember the band is a tool so make it work for you.

april, what is your weight loss program? i have also got 3cc's in my pealize band. but i have some restriction. i get another fill dec. 1st. but i dont think i need more then 1cc. i dont want to have to much. i like the protein slammers to. im thinking i need to start getting more protein in myself. i weighted this morning and if my scales are right(which is why i want to go the meetings to get on there scales) i have lost a total of 45.3 pounds since aug. 26th. so im hoping there right.
