  1. I stayed over night as I have sleep apnea. Take your meds. Why be uncomfortable
  2. I went to the gym. 30 min walk on treadmill then some of the machines. A swim followed up by hottub
  3. I am not booked for my first fill yet. I will call tomorrow
  4. Do you have your gallbladder
  5. I was driving by day 3. Out shopping a bit. Really feeling good 2 weeks later
  6. I wore a belt to work today! First time in 30 yrs
  7. Walked all weekend at the Waterloo outlets in New York. I am exhausted
  8. I am 8 weeks post op and no fill booked. I am going to get pushy with my doctor
  9. I have not had my first fill yet. I keep filling in the form to get one and the nurse calls with advice to change my diet. I feel I am 98% compliant and am considering a letter to my doctor. The fill place is near me but is 4 hours from where I had surgery. The reason I chose Toronto is because there was a fill place in Ottawa. 8 weeks out and not being able to use the band as the great tool it is
  10. Most people don't understand our silent battle with obesity. I will never forget some things people said to me or the way they looked around me when talking to me.
  11. Follow your doctors orders and ensure to get some walking in. Congrats on your decision
  12. Giving in this weekend and buying a few outfits for work.
  13. My mothers biggest fear is that I will get smaller than her. She spent her whole life putting me down. Sigh
  14. At my smallest, I remember size 14. I will always have large bones!
  15. The link is it exactly
  16. It has been a few tears since I joined a gym or walked 5 km. starting out after surgery with hernia with swimming. Upped my steps to 10,000 as many days as I could. Went for small workout at gym. I cannot do everything I want right now but hoping for weekly progress
  17. Even 25 pound loss has me doing things I couldn't last month.
  18. I still can't get over sitting in a booth. And fitting!
  19. Last New Year's resolution was to become selfish. I don't have a selfish bone in my body. If I don't take care of me, who will?
  20. I told two friends I don't see often. O e took me to the hospital. The other went through wls herself. She has regained a lot of weight back and I will try to help her get back on track. My daughter, the nurse might figure it out when she arrives for Christmas. She will understand but be upset as I was private about it. .
  21. Gbb. I just realized you said a sentence that scares me. When I reach goal. I have never thought about reaching a final goal. So far goal is getting off the next 5 lbs. imagine loosing a large amount like 100, this seems in my dreams. Sure hope my dreams become reality
