Vessa, If that is your husband and baby, it is a beautiful picture.

Hi David and welcome to the site!! Congrats on your lapband. Donna

I love the idea of ice and crystal in the blender. I am going to get a blender tomorrow. I am always looking for low cal grazing foods. lol Donna

I would up the exercise. You will lose more and it really helps with energy levels also. Donna

Wow! I am sure glad I never heard that! I am post meno. and I have lost 56 pounds in just a little over five months. No problem for me. Donna

I am with the town drunk on this one All my problems are in the evening. Wish I could join you , but i would be setting myself up for failure. I just try to keep it low cal. in the evening, and do a good workout. Donna

Right now I am liquids only in the morning. When I lose a few more pounds and this last fill loosens up a little I will be able to do my oatmeal again. Right now I have trouble getting my protien drink down. Donna

Wow! You have done great! Welcome to the site. Donna

I have about 2.75cc in a four cc band and I have very good restriction with that. I am not very hungry either. I think regular trips to the gym are what have helped me the most. Donna

Hope things turn out ok. Let us know. Donna

Boo Boo This is the first time I have seen your pics. You look great. Laurend, You are doing great too. Donna

Welcome to the site. Surf the threads here for lots of good info. Donna

It is a crazy world!! That is what makes it so fun. Saw your ticker. You have done great. Donna

Wow !! So sorry that happened to you. Sounds awful. I have had four fills and I don`t feel a thing. It only takes a couple of seconds to get them. He does not use fluor. because he is really good and does not need it. I hope you find a good fill doctor. My fill doctor charged me1,100 for one years worth of fills. Dr. Allen in Lou. Ky. Had my surgery in Mexico. Donna

Damn! I can not see it. I am at work and You Tube is blocked here. I will have to go home and watch it.I think I will go to Hell just to see all my friends. Donna

Welcome to the site and I hope you get your band.Donna

I took those before I got my band and I just had to quit. Side affects are awful and just not worth it at all.With the band you should not need diet pills. Donna

Way to go Mick!!! You have done really great with your band. I love mine too.I still have trouble in the evenings, trying not to graze, but I am doing pretty good.Welcome to the site.

Congrats to all of you who are about to have surgery. Welcome to the site. I wish you all the best of luck. Donna

I told everyone when I got my band,and I wish that I had told no one. Donna

Julie I just read this whole thread and I wish the very best for you. You are very brave to go through so much surgery. I sure hope you are better soon. Donna

Derick, I loved your rant and sadly it has in the past been true for me.I was always attracted to men with a dark side. It has caused me a lot of pain. I always left the nice guy for some jerk.I am older now, and hope I have learned enough to grab on to the next nice guy that comes my way. Of course it would help if he was rich! LOL Donna

It will probably take two or three fills before you feel much restriction. It took me three to feel it. Donna

Six months out, doing great!!!! Love my band. Donna

I am really surprised your doctor did not start you on liquids and then mushies and so on. And... if i take a drink when I am stuck, I just spew liquid all over the place. Best of luck. Donna
