Busy296

people r noisy and will talk, I lost right at 100 lbs. When they run there mouth, and I hear something, I talk about the privacy act, Hippa, and so on. I guess I got the message across, they don't ask, and if they talk , it's not around me. It is only my business...people have enough to talk about at the water cooler than my weight.

Drink pinapple juice. It desolves the food. Keep it on hand at all times for emergencys!!!

I haven't. I was wondering also, I need a smaller one. Seems I lost weight and there is a smaller port available. Mine seems to be tender sometimes. I need the answer...

I lost 87 lbs. since Sept. 27, 2007 I am doing great with my new life !!!

I have lost 79 so far...Sept, 27 2007

So so very sorry. Before I lost weight or even really overweight, I found out my x husband had 3 affairs on me with 2 small children 4 & 3. I had always suspected he was a dog and drank heavy. Well I was in denial. But when it was real and I found out really, I said get out. I was a stay home mom with him living check to check. I kicked him out with no income and barely any from him with all his habits, there was not much left. I freaked the next day with reality. When I met him I moved here with no family, and they are the type , they have there own problems. I lived through it. Made it big time with little education, high school only. I would scream at night on my bed crying when my kids went to sleep. Scared to death I would be in the homeless shelter with them. He also got together with one of the bimbos. Telling them it was ok to call her mom, so hurtful. He would tell them , oh come live with daddy !!!. Scared them horrible. But to the end of this story, I have a great great job paying like wow...My kids are grown , one is a cop after going in the marines, one is going to be an electriction. Lots of counseling....for us. Non for the father no doubt. I prayed, and trust me , there were times when I wanted bad things to happen to him. Now I have peace, I was overweight, I have the lap-band . Things are great. My kids love me, hate there dad. I never wanted them to. I tryed to talk to them, saying no 1 is perfect, to try with him , they are all grown now. He missed out , owing over $20,000.00 child support. I missed out alot on my kids fun, cause of stress with no money and worries. You will make it. You will find that person. He is almost homeless and has been fired on almost every job.What goes around does come around!!!

Busy296 78 lbs.

Ifinally learned to slow down. It has been 9 mo. and i never got it. I have been filled I think 7 or 8 times. Small amounts till I finally got there. It taught me to eat correctly. Now I eat and still loose like she was talking about. I watch carbs, but still take small amount of things I should not. To my shock, am loosing. I think some thingss I eat a cup of. Then some things , like a 1/2 cup, depends on how it goes down. I never eat steak just in case of it gettin stuck. I don't want to get an unfill and go through tis all over again. I need to work on the veggies alot. Good for you...I lost about 78 in 9 mo., so something is working. It's getting your mind around the fact we have problems with foods... I like what I see now. It finally shows to me. Everyone sees it, but now I finally do. I like myself. I have not felt that in yrs.

My b-friend said the same thing, but we are not married, he has given me a fit about alot of stuff. He is just real scared of loosing you, no matter what you tell him.

You will meet the person of your dreams !! You sound nice, and nice doesn't always finish last. I have to deal with my weight loss and my relationship. I see a new me and my dr. says I have to figure out why I got with this person, cause I was overweight or depressed, etc. It is very hard to deal with this, cause he said it would happen, he mentioned it before I had the surgery. I have been married before and had not so good relationships. I was fat, I was smaller, Who knows, but I do know 1 thing, it has been 8 months and 72 lbs. lighter. Everthing is like a roller coaster. I sure the ride ends and every1 stops noticing, waiting for u to gain it back. I told only family, no one at my work. Life is good, if its meant for me not to be in this relationship, I can handle it. For the first time I look in the mirror and take a double take. Things are getting better...Thank God I will live to retire...

I was banded Sept. 27 th . I lost 72 lbs so far.

I have lost 72 lbs. I was banded Sept. 27, 2007

after 7 months for me , I am doing much better.

I know when I was at my peak I was too tired to look for clothes. I would go shopping and sweat. Not to mention it was heat breaking everytime I had to look for nothing that looked good on me. I woke up everyday thinking about my weight. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think about how depressing it was. I would get out of breath just trying to get myself done. I always wore make-up to work and eye shdo. I always did the best with what I had. On weekends is when I slacked. Just didn't want to make the effort. Clothes were a joke. Yes the big t-shirts. Everyone can relate to that I'm sure, being over weight.

I went to the knee doctor, he said I had arthritis in my knee , not too bad. I am getting a MRI done next week. He said I could still exersise. yippy

Thanks bigbaby, I will start the pills tonight, I have some already. I will keep you updated, Thanks so much for caring....talk to you soon ....

My knee on the tread mill going 3.5 for 2 miles. is feeling it. I ice it each morning thinking maybe this will help. I have little or n swelling . I started .5 incline . Can anyone give me pointers? A knee brace from Walgreens, what ??? I want to keep up my good work, I love it @ 5:00a.m. 2 miles isn't so bad. I am down to 201 lbs. from 257 lbs. Anyone can help me or been through this. My next step is a knee doctor. I just know the knee is there , no real bad pain...Help????

I have a question. I have lost close to 60 lbs. Now I am on the tread mill daily. I am about 4 weeks out. I have taken it slow. I I am @3.5 for 2 miles. My knee is kinda bothering me. Not too bad. But I kind of feel it. Which makes me nervous about an injury. I slowed it down to 1 mile a day at a slower pace to 3. I heard try an slight incline. Makes it better for the knees. I thought after getting weight off my knee by loosing I wouldn't have this problem. Does anyone have suggestions for me so I can get back on track. I am at 200 lbs. now. I love tread mill and don't want to stop.

Sounds like there is swelling. When you have swelling it is tighter. Eat real slow. I just got my 5 th fill Friday. I am tight , but I eat real slow, it helps so much, after 2 weeks it gets looser. Eat or drink everything slow !!!

Hey, I told them it was female surgery and everyone stopped there. I told the closet person at work to me. This was a mistake, cause he told one other person.,I think. If I had to do it again I would tell no on in the work place. They ask how I am loosing. I told them I changed my way of eating, I eat healthy now. It seems to shut them up.

I heard pineapple juice is the thing to drink when you feel stuck... I tryed it, it worked. I always keep little cans around. Some things you just can't eat anymore...Strange how that happens...
