    Do you have a New Years resolution?????

    For this New Year my goals are to get under 200 lbs. I also want to get to church every week instead of once in a while. I would also like to rekindle a few dwindling friendships and enhance newer ones. I would like to improve on my eating and exercising habits. This last goal, will help me with my first goal. Good luck in the upcoming year to everyone on their goals, and also to anyone not making them.

    disappearing infection?

    Isn't that the pits? Whenever you make an appointment, the day you go your better! So the doctor ends up thinking that you are a crazy nut! Well I am glad that everything seems better now. Aren't the prices of medicines rediculous nowadays? Jeepers! Well hopefully the antibiotics will help and everything will stay better!

    Astro has crossed the bridge

    Oh Vines, I am so sorry about your dog! I don't think I could handle not having either one of my dogs around. I have two beagles. One is 5 1/2 and the other 2 1/2. Oh I love my puppies!

    is overfilled bad?

    My fill doctor, who is a Bandster herself, said one time she was overfilled and was to proud to go back. She couldn't eat for the first three weeks or so, and finally the restriction went down and she could eat. I think you might want to go see the fill doctor now if he/she is local. If he/she isn't local, I would wait two or three days to see if that helps if it doesn't go down, make an appointment and go see the doctor!! Best of luck!

    Pre/Post Op Must Have list

    I made sure that I had gatorade, Crystal Light, books/movies, and some where to walk. The day after surgery, we were out on Revolution Avenue in Mexico and walked for like 4 hours. It stunk because their were some friends there that were eating and I felt really good so I wanted some. But I was good and just drank my gatorade!! It was really good because if I wanted something I would give mom that pouty look and how can you refuse your baby girl the day after surgery??? And let's just say I made out pretty good that day!!!

    Low Carb & Low Fat Recipies

    I tried cooking these tonight. I used leftover Christmas ham and extra sharp white cheddar cheese. I LOVED these and so did my family. I like these becuase they are perfect for a Breakfast on the go and all the Protein is an awesome bonus! Thank you very much for posting this!

    Swallowing gum

    My surgeon never said anything for or against it. My fill doctor told me never to swallow it because it could get stuck and I would have to go the emergency to have it removed! That scared me a little but I don't think I could live without chewing gum!

    Those of you who are banded, do you exercise?

    I used to have basketball practice everyday. Then in mid-november when our season ended, I didn't exercise anymore. I thought I would just give myself a week because I hadn't had much time to myself. Well a week turned into two, to three, to a month, up till today. As of today, I want to exercise 4 or 5 times a week. But I think my weightloss was better when I exercise.

    Have you been in the chat room - freaky

    I went there after I read your post. She is very weird. I think I went to some place like that before and it was just as weird or weirder.
  15. I was discharged the next day without a barium swallow. Atleast I don't think that I did! haha

    I need some help!

    I has been almost 5 months since my surgery and I have only lost 15 lbs (gained back 5 over Christmas)! My fill is 2.6cc. I get full very quick and I stop eating but I still don't lose any weight! I am getting very frustrated and my mom is getting very upset with the whole surgery and me not losing the weight. Can someone please, please help me? Tips, suggestions, anything?

    Rabbits and Turtles United New Year Challenge

    1-3-06 Today I weighed 254.5. My NSV would have to be working the courage up to sit in the cheering section at our basketball game today. I don't usually do the challanges, but since it is a new year and I want a new me, I will do this one! This challange is a great idea because it isn't only focusing on your weight loss but your non-scale victories as well. Good luck to all! --Kylie

    I need some help!

    I drink a lot of water! Let's just put it this way, it isn't very often that you don't see me with some water. I love water and I drink ice water all the time.

    I need some help!

    donali, thank you! I really needed to evaluate what I am eating! I will try using the Fit Day website for a little while. Hopefully that will help and I will remember to do it every day! I am not doing that great with the excercise thing! I do play basketball for 2 and 1/2 hours twice a week, but I do need to do something more. I will be going to our local YMCA from now on. Thanks to all who responded, hopefully this reevaluation of my eating and excericising habits will help. And no, my surgeon is in Mexico and the doctor doing my fills is a few states away so they aren't real close to help. I guess I just need a kick in the butt so that I can get back into the swing of the Band. I guess it would also help to come back to LapBandTalk more often. Thank you guys very much! --Kylie

    Board Changes...what have you found?

    I really like the top 5 threads. It's the first thing you see and it helps out because sometimes it is the most helpful. It is great!

    Humpff!

    I am very discouraged! I have lost a total of 15 lbs and I had surgery on July 28, 2005. I had a fill like a month ago, but it hasn't really helped. I think that I might need another fill but our family can't afford to fly from PA to CA right now! What can I do?? Please help however you think you can!!

    Nsv For Me!!!

    Well after I had my fill last week I have felt much better about the outcome of this surgery! Ok anyway to get to my NSV. Today I got on the scale because I thought I had gained even though it wasn't my weigh in day(I lost 5lbs since Friday!) I bought a pair of pants in a 16 while I was wearing a twenty, and they fit, buttoned ok, but they are a little tight so I won't wear them yet! But it will be soon! Just thought you would like to know! -Kylie
