:ranger::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:Great news. So happy for you. Donna

I really wish i had not told anyone i was having the surgery. Hindsight is 20/20. Donna

Good job !! Hang in there. Donna

Also what is an Emmi program??

Chaca, Are you from Lou. Ky.? I am from Clarksville In. and work in Lou. Donna

Thanks for the support. I do feel really good. I guess I just miss how fast it was coming off at first. Donna

Well five and a half months out the weight loss is really slowing down. I am doing a lot more exercise and working a lot harder to lose a few pounds. Finally got to update my ticker as i finally lost two pounds. I do know i need a fill, but i can`t get in to doctor till the 24th. Hope things pick up a little then. I guess i should be grateful i am not gaining and stop whining. I love my band and i am done whining now. LOL Donna:hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry:

Welcome to the site and congrats on your band. Glad to hear you are doing well. Donna

So sorry that happened to you! Get well soon and big hugs to you. Donna:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Hi Jim, I am up because i work third shift three days a week and first shift the other two. Strange i know. Walk as much as you can the first few days. It really helps. Glad you are doing ok. The soreness does not last too long. I am almost six months out not and i really love my band. Donna

No clue! I have lost 50, and have about 37 to go. Donna

Congrats ! Let us know how you do. Donna

Good luck. Hope you get the job. I agree with Whestin about the cover letter. Direct and to the point. Donna

I am completly confused! I am 37 pounds from goal. I have lost 50 pounds and i am just happy to be anywhere. Donna

Wow Juli! You have done great. I feel like you do . I have paid a lot for this band and i plan to make it work. I was at the gym today for an hour of hard cardio and i love how it makes me feel. It is a little tough right now because i need a fill but can`t get in for three more weeks. Busy doc. I am having a tough time right now with hunger, but i have not gained anything, i am just stuck at 187 right now. Oh well, sure beats 237 where i started. Welcome to the new folks on the thread. Donna

Randy I just love.........your bananas!!! LOL Donna

I work in a shelter with children and last year i got ringworm on my inner thigh. OMG It was awful. Took two weeks to get rid of. Can`t remember what i used. Donna

It lasted about three days for me, Stay close to home. LOL Welcome to the site. Donna

Hi!!! Welcome to the site! Donna:clap2::whoo::omg::biggrin1::bored:car:

:DCongrats on your surgery and welcome to the site!!! Donna:whoo::whoo:

Welcome to the site and congrats on your surgery! It does take a little getting used to , but when you see the weight falling off it is so worth it. Donna

I am here every day. I need all the support I can get and I get it here and at Band2gether. I love both sites. Donna

I eat mostly homemade soups. Veggie and chicken. I have very good restriction and sometimes soup just works better for me. I am losing just fine so I guess it is not hurting me. Donna

1007, Go slow when you start to eat again. If you have good restriction it is a whole different ball game. You can not eat much and you need to go slow and chew really well. Best of luck. Donna

In many ways it is like the death of a good friend for me. I was really in to comfort eating and you just can not do that when you have good restriction. You get full to fast. I try to do different things for comfort now. A cup of hot green tea or get on this site, or go to the gym. Donna
