Doug I have been checking your journal and wondering where you were. I'm glad to hear you were just busy as ever. Congratulations on the maintenance of your weight loss. Ok get back to work, 2 hours of sleep is enough.

Hi Wendyjoy I think a lot of folks can stick to a diet and lose the weight. The big problem comes in with the maintenance of that weight. As far as you sticking to a plan and not losing weight, you should see the local cushings specialist and the queen of Slow Losers Unite. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/slow-losers-unite-t10174.html?t=10174 Good Luck

Very smart idea. The food section has great choices. I find that ground turkey workes great and you can make speghetti, chili or just put it with refried beans and sour cream.

You are going to do great!!!

What did the fam say about your weight loss?

Girl stop it, pray on it and give it to God. Stop right now, stop testing and if you need time to lose the weight on your own and maintain it, go for it. You know there will be another surgery in the future with less complications.

Oh Flabuless what gorgeous children and the background of the pic your son is in is amazing. Baby girl is so happy!!

Honu I saw your pics and you look great!!!! Have you posted any recent pics?

Try a little Beno in your soup that will help to cut down on the gas. It is delicious. This soup is so tasty it would be good for that soft phase, you won't feel like you are missing anything because it is so full of flavor. I don't follow the directions to a t. I make my own version and now I add ground turkey and other veggies. When adding other things just remember your sodium intake. Wwhen I have fallen off the wagon with weets and fast food I will normally fix some soup to get me back on track. I have to remember just like ice cream will go through the band so will soup and it is better for me.

Hey you have come a long way baby....you can get as close as you can. Take your vitamin, meds, drink 40oz of water a day, dance your butt off at the parties and exercise at home. Happy Happy when you see that scale at 259 and 250 will come sooner then you think if you put your mind, body and spirit into it. NOW!! Come on Avilla you can do this!!!

LOL you are funny. It looks like you are doing great.

I'm sorry you are feeling like this but it is not uncommon. While going through test I thought about not going through with the surgery. It is very stressful preparing for surgery and listening to other peoples advice sometimes. For me I was 459 and have lost 80 pounds and if I don't lose another pound I am glad I had surgery. Stay in prayer, you will be fine.

Terrilen he is with you and you are worthy no matter what. Take one day at a time and enjoy the little things in life. Take one meal at a time. If it helps to plan your meals today then do it. If you can walk start walking during commercials when you are watching tv or lift hand weights. Every little bit helps. I'm sorry you are going through some stuff right now but you are not alone. Sometimes just smiling helps you get through the rough moment and you might find yourself being able to smile a little more often. I will keep you in my prayers because he is an Awesome God and he loves you.
