Teresita

Well Keri you know you are not alone. We all need encouragement and a little push sometimes. I realized I have been playing in the 380's since July and it is time to MOVE FORWARD. Great job on the walking and healthier choices!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I agree Wheetsin your look :faint: WONDERFUL!!!! INSPIRATION IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME...I CAN DO IT...I CAN DO IT....WHEETSIN DID AND I CAN DO IT!!!

Congratulations AngelaT good luck on your journey and thanks for the Ghost Whisperer reminder. I don't watch it but I will to see Penni's house. Also, Crystalstar11 will be going into surgery this morning around 7:45 to get banded. Keep her in your prayers.:pray:

The weekend lost of sugar free stuff like pudding, jello and crystal light. I also had lost of salad oh and I had the best cheesesteak Friday and Sunday along with some buffalo wings. Yes I at a little bit at a time and it was goooooood. Today i am in trouble, I did not bring luch today. I do have a slimfast and trail mix.

Of course you can join, everyone is welcome. During dinner you only had like 2 spoons of each thing right. You were just banded in October so I am sure you ate much smaller amounts then if you were banded. Do you Pb? You didn't get sick?

Crystalstar11 is scheduled to be banded around 7:45 this morning. ConnieA0278 is with her and will update us. Finally!!!! YEAHHHHHHHH:clap2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY 11/11/06

Just an update. Kee is home, doing well and is ready to get to work. We should all take a page out of her book and work our booties off....:):Banane33:

Kee Is Offically Banded!!!!! :faint: Dr. M Just Called And Said Surgery Went Well And She Is Now In Recovery!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I like that Wheetsin. That is they way I feel *sometimes*:success1:

Today is the day for Kee. I left her in the hands of the Anasthesiaologist who was giving her a Margarita cocktail before going in to surgery. I am now waiting to hear from Dr. M.

:high5: Here I am #1 "offbrand" outcast here. Offbrand is what a kids called me when I was at the recreation center as a teenager. I didn't get it but it hurt. There were other words with it but for some reason that one stuck in my mind. Go figure. I am working on loving myself and it is coming along very well. I am happy that I am 39 because with age not only comes wisdom but this odd confidence. You just begin to not give a dam what other people think. You realize you come into the world alone and you leave it alone.

Today is Keekhari's band date. Her surgery is at 1:00. YEAHHHHHHH Kee!!!

Thank you ladies for the kick in the caboos. I miss you guys Ali and Oatmeal girl. LOL I will get back to walking tomorrow I'm off from work and hopefully I will find someone to go with me but if not it is ok. It is getting on my nerves that it gets dark so early. I feel like I am suppose to be in the house getting ready for bed.

Hey Skinnymini it is good to see you. I am glad the pregnancy is going well and you are still doing well with yyour weight loss. Those preggie icons are cute and I bet you are too. Thanks for checking in and giving us some more pounds to take off. WE ARE NOW AT 452.5 POUNDS GONE....WE ARE ALMOST WHERE I STARTED IN THIS WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY. CALLING NATURALBEAUTY WE NEED YOUR NUMBERS AGAIN. WHEN THE BOARD WAS DOWN IT WAS EREASED.

You are too tight, call your doctor. How much do you have in your band and how much did you get?

Sorry to hear about the tooth but I am happy for you about the surgery. Let us know what date you chose.

I made some delicious potato and cheese soup with broccoli, caulifour and mushrooms Monday. It was so good I brought if for lunch yesterday and it is all gone. I have chili today but I think I will fix some more soup this evening. I will fix some jello also.

I'm so sorry you are having problems. Do you feel like giving all of your information. Some people do have the band and bypass surgery done at the same time so I don't see why they can't take the band off if that is what you want. Did you go through your insurance co? Would they pay again for the bypass? 2 years is a long time, what is your doctor saying? Did you guys do blood work to rule other diseases or thyroid problems? How much do you weigh now? What is a typical day of food for you. One positive note is that evidently you haven't gained any weight. On the average people gain weight annually. Good Luck

46 Days 16 Hours 10 Minutes ...But who's counting

FullofGrace Congrtulations this Friday is YOUR Day!! WOOHOOOO You will be out of the 300's in no time. Wheetsin I want to be like you- been there done that. LOL Good Luck Kim Calip on your decision. I have only good things to say but there is a complications sections. Some people do have problems but none of us go into surgery believing that something is going to go wrong. You have to make the decision for you. You know what has worked in the past and surgery is the last chance for some. Personally I thank God I had it done. tigger33 the weight loss starts.....right.....now. Everyone is diffrent, some lose weight the entire time, some lose weight after their first fill, and some lose weight after the 3rd fill and some lose weight when they have hit their sweet spot of restriction. Here is how to assure weight loss from now on. Are you drinking your water? Are you eating protein first? Are you taking your medicine or vitamins? Are you skipping the junk and snacking between meals? Are you EXERCISING? Are you calorie counting? If you have answered yes to all these questings.....I am not a doctor please do not hold my advice against me and call your surgeon maybe he will move your fill date up. Are you doing cardio or weight resistance or weight training? http://fittv.discovery.com/fansites/dietdoctor/video/video.html

Guess what? Everyone will be banded by time you get back. Kee is getting banded tomorrow 11.9 and Crystalstar next Monday 11.13. Crystalstar's birthday is this Saturday 11.11. Leona you look good in your pictures so please take some. You will need them as your progression pics into your new body. So we need to have a mushy party next month. LOL

HEY WHEETSIN I'M AT THE WEIGHT YOU STARTED AT!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
