Penni, I am so sorry to hear about this my prayers are with all those who loved these girls. Heather

I took my measurements right after banding but have not yet re-measured. Thanks guys for all the nice words, it really makes me feel great to know I have ya'll for support:)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you:)

I went to the Doctor today for my 4 week post op. I have been very down because the second I started walking I stopped loosing. When I was weighed I was down 1.3% in body fat in the last two weeks. YEAH!! I was so happy to hear that something was going on in there.

Penni, So sorry to hear about your Mom. You both are in my prayers. May God bless you and give you both peace and comfort. Keep us informed.

I'm a go-getter.. YUP just about right:)

You can tell your mother for me that this is sooooooo not easy!!! Buck up and do what you want with your body and your life. No one else can live it for you.

Me too. I'm lost!!!

Man oh man did I need to hear that! I haven't set foot in a Victoria Secret in years and I am so looking forward to not feeling like I just don't belong in places like that...I am just 3 weeks banded and every day I suffer with the WHAT IF I FAIL AT THIS TOO disease. I called my sister one day crying about it and she said "If you fail this time it will be because you are sabatoging yourself." That made me cry even harder until I realized that she is right and that ultimately it will be my DECISION whether to succeed or fail. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!

TrishS, I've read everything Dean Koontz has ever written... I just love him.

That was my son....fits him perfectly, lol

Did my college time..now I read for fun...my philosophy is that a little gratuitous (sp?) smut never hurt anybody:)

I love love love to read...my most rescent literary obsession has been vampire novels(strong silent sexy vampires not the mean ones). Just wondering what ya'll like to read.

Oh that was too funny lol lol

Once again thank ya'll (puff puff). I so love it here:)

Yeah, you thought I was joking!!! I will have a cig in my hand in just a minute!!!!

I know you said not to ask but what is a wu name?

Thanks Guys! Ya'll are the coolest:) I think I will just have a water and a cigarette like those skinny girls (ha ha)

I am right now, at this very moment about to pop a recee cup into my mouth!!!! SOMEBODY TALK ME DOWN:(

I'm an amateur menace. I thought I was approaching Professional Status:)

I'm lovin it....I try to lock the door to do my business and my little girl will stick her fingers under the door and be like " mommy are you in there?"

Welcome:) Congratulations on your band!!!

I was banded on March 10 and I am going through the same thing. My doc says that I don't have nearly the swelling that some people have and with no fill in the band I'm wide open. I can't get my first fill until 6 weeks and I am scared to death of gaining back the 12 lbs I've lost post op. My doc says that any weight lost before the first fill is just a bonus....but I am neurotic and have all of those what if I fail AGAIN thoughts.. I don't know how much this helps but you are definitely not alone:) Besides you have lost 27 lbs...WOW that's great!!!

Bumping for a chat.... I missed ya'll!!

30 days for me:)
