I don't know, someone saw a lesbian and I couldn't see it. It must have been ULO. Anyhow, look at the chips... I want one. Sorry Kimber lilly now it's also the chip thread. You guys are still cute. Your mom is adorable.

Yeah, fooooodddddd oh did I say that, (wipe the drool) LOL I did not get a fill yesterday and won't get one for about 4 weeks so I can probably eat a cow....reallllll slowwwww.

This surgery is working for me. It is slow and steady in the right direction. I started at 459 and am now 414. I lost 50 but let's say water retention and a couple of doughy items got 5 pounds on me. Good Luck in your decision.

Congratulations again, we weren't sure about the date. You will be amazed how good you feel after surgery. You will be able to get up and walk around but you need to sleep off some of the anesthesia first.

Crack....crack.....cra......cr......where.....

Sign up in the Lounge if you want to join. Also, I am willing to help put together a Saturday lunch for us Maryland Bandsters. We can just go to a restaurant somewhere in the Laurel area.

What lesbians....where.....I don't see any. Anyhow, Kimber Lilly you family is adorable. You look MARVELOUS DARLING.

Thank You Nykee for reposting. I understand where you were and where you are. I have gotten better but I am not quiet there yet. I think I still obsess is because I have to prepare my meals. If I don't prepare my meals then I'm back at fast food. I have gotten better. I use to get the sales ads and shop at Shoppers, Safeway, Giant and WalMart to get the best deals every Saturday morning. Now I look at the Safeway and Giant paper and say ok I will get there before the sale goes off. Periodically I will get that Saturday morning urge to go and I do. I'm not even buying junk, it's food but the way I feel about it still is not in control yet. Now I know I can pass up 14 for $2. I did pay for it, I gained 3 pounds for that. Thank God I get a fill today.

I got a 7/10 but I thought I did better and everyone knows that Godzilla would win.... he breaths fire.....right Penni and Kim.

OK I weighed in and it was not good. At least I think most of the donuts did not show on the scale. I gained 3 pounds but I gaurantee that they will be gone by next Tuesday. I go for a fill tomorrow. LOL I know it feels like cheating but I don't care. Therefore, I hereby declare I will not change my ticker because it will be gone. tick tick tick the other way

I used Dr Moazzez and my insurance covered it so I don't know how much it was. I also see him for my fills and they are not painful. The anticipation is the worst part but waiting for a needle is always stressful. My sister had gb years ago and gained back a bit of her weight and she is seeing Dr. Arnez at Fairfax Hospital about getting the band. I think I got the doctors name right.

I weigh in tonight at TOPS. You can go to the TOPS website and put your zip code in the chapter locator. Good Luck!!! I love TOPS and I have been going for over 2 years now. It is a great support system.

Carrie you may already be able to wear an 18. If you have the funds you should go buy a pair and watch yourself slide into them or just go to the store once a month and try them on. LOL I have jackets that were way too tight when I bought them and now I can wear them. YEahhhh MEEEeee

No you don't actually feel the port, it is really the incision that you are feeling. You will be able to lay on it without it hurting in a little while but you know that it is there.

Your port area will be the last scar to heal because it is the biggest. That scar will be your baby for the next 2 1/2 months. You will protect it from everything and it will let you know when it is there if you roll over on it. LOL Good Luck you are doing Great

Hey Tanya what's going on. I hope everything is well.

Kozmic Tulip I'm glad you said that. Since we can't eat and drink at the same times I will make a conscious decision to eat instead of drink my Water. I know what I'm doing and I will still do it. Good Luck lildarlin

Yoy go Pam that is 19 pounds of Joy and you can have an almond slivers because they are good for you.

Weightloss is going to depend on a lot of factors. The obvious factors are, your initial weight, activity, intake, and band size. The band has to be filled slowly over time to give each person their just right amout of restriction. The greatest benefit with the band is that it is a more natural slow loss and the band is adjustable. If you loose 10 pounds are you going to keep it off? With the band, you can control if you are going to keep it off. LB patients don't have malnourishment or dumping which makes a great diffrence.

Yeah team. You go BigMan Congratulations. What is the date?

How much weight have you lost?

Oh wow I agree you need to change your unsername to Beautiful Ethel. You look AWESOME, I am proud of you. Did you have surgery for your panni. Can you change your username without going changing everything? I have been wanting to change mine.

Well I did good at the store. I only bought what was needed except for the baker's dozen of donuts for $2. I do regret that decision now. I hope not to do that again.
