I'll be here to keep you company Foofy, I am still at 182 for about 5 weeks now.

I'm 8 months out almost you can only see my port scar and that is a very fine 1 1/2 inch line that blends with my stretch marks. The tiny scars are nothing to worry about at all.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Sades!!! Dr is doing this for free right???

I wear Maidenform garment. I get them at Kohles. The are the tank top type, but are longer and cover my whole tummy all the way to my cookie tucked into my pants. they stay in place and don't roll up. I wear one every day to keep my jiggly tummy in place. I am considereing a TT

D's, DD'S FF"s JJJ"S WOW sigh I'm still a "C" just a deflated one now. It doesn't matter if I weigh 300 or 150 I have always been a "C" cup.... I think I will get a small implant to fill out deflation.

I'm sorry your going thru this with your father. But you are 31 yrs old and don't need his bullying you. Also maybe he needs to be educated on the bandsters diet. sit down and have a serious talk with him, show him the paperwork from Drs on food plan and stages we are supposed to follow. Not to excuse his behavior, but maybe he just doesn't know how to express his concern in a loving manner. Good luck to you.

The first 6-8 weeks after surgery is a Healing time for the stomach. remember the band is a tool for us to work with, not a magic cure all. You should get to your Dr. to get your fill so you will be able to work with your tool. Good luck to you Jorge

Congratulations, your tummy is amazing Salsa.

Wohooo Congratulations on lowering your blood pressure!!! I know how important that is for us. Mine is back into the normal range also. Now if I could just get the blood sugar to level out, that's the one thing we can't get to stay in control, One day it's 95 the next it's 160 and I am eating the same usally..... Also Congratulations on losing 100 pounds that's an awsome acomplishement :smile2::thumbup:

I'm still catching up on old posts, and I have been beating myself up over really not losing much in the past 2 months, BUT I have gone down to a size 10-12 in most pants and I am buying size L shirts. My new bathing suits I bought for cancun were 12s from the JR's dept,I also bought some cute sundresses from Pacsun and Tillies, in size L JR's..... Last July when we went camping I was wearing a size 2X very tight bathing suit. size 22 jeans and 2X shirts that really were too tight. 2 years ago when we went to cancun I just about died from the humitity, I didn't want to do or go anywhere other then the pool or hotel room. This trip I wanted to do everything, the heat really didn't bother me that much. and when we went horseback riding I didnt feel like the horse was going to pass out when I got on him. :smile2: So I guess after writing this and realizing that pounds aren't the opnly thing that matters I wont beat myself up anymore... Great job everyone!!! OK now I am off to do a swim...

I just got back from my 2 week vacation. And I am glad to see this challenge here ready and waiting for me to join into. I did do 2 Water Aerobics claases in Cancun at the pool, it was alot of fun, I even got hubby to join in with me, he wouldn't admit it, but he had fun too. We did ALOT of walking and swimming. Usually when we go its only for a week and I always gain weight, about 5-8 pounds, This time I didn't gain an ounce!!!! Wohoooo I focused more on all the activities I could do and not on the all inclusive food and drinks there was to be had, sure I drank my margaritas a few days, But I made sure to exercise my butt off to make up for them. Have a great day evberyone, I am off to pull weeds in the back yard as they seemed to have grown at least 2 feet tall all over the yard while I was gone....

LJM, Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!! I know you and DH are so excited. I just got back from vacation and am just getting caught up on the boards. WOW daycare sure has gotten expensive since I had my kids.

I did day one, but blew it on day 2 and well that messed up day 3 and 4.... Oh well, I will do it when I come back from my vacation in 2 weeks. we are leaving tomorrow for 2 glorious weeks on the beach in cancun. Hopefully I will come back thinner and tanner. :-D Last time we went it was for 10 days and I came back about 7 pounds heavier. it's an all inlusive resort. But this time I wont be pigging out on all the free drinks and food like I used to. I will enjoy all the activities this time. :-D

Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you LJM that this pregnancy goes as planned with no complications!!!

Congratulations Robin!!!
