After years of looking after mom in her home, moving her to a retirement home etc. I had to put her in a Nursing Home last weekend. The sense of peace that she is safely looked after is helping me. Back to the gym and looking after ME. Even my boss sent me an email about my great work this week

Having the band too tight will definitely give you medical problems. This doesn't make it he bands fault. I monitor carefully that I have no acid reflux and all is ok. I am not allowed to get a fill if I am not following the diet and monitoring everything.

I am almost never hungry which is great. I went to the gym last night. My daughter was in the pool at the gym and called me to make sure I would go. I feel awesome after.

My 2 girls help keep me on track when I let others pull me off. Get a gym buddy or girlfriend to talk to.

I understand being scared. There are good meds which will help the hour waiting for surgery. (Ativan). When they started to put me to sleep I had a little panic and wanted to change my mind. I am stubborn and knew this was a life saving surgery I needed

I cannot say anything negative about Slimband as I feel they saved my life and started me on this journey. most companies go bankrupt and reopen under a different name. Mostly because of a law suit.

Do you have a galbladder? My pain n the back was caused from galstones

When I get to the point when I decide I am AT GOAL I would love to contribute to this thread. For some reason I don't feel my journey ends.

A slow and great process

I had a hernia repair with my surgery. Everyone knows about the hernia. That is my story

I need to get back into a post Christmas routine. I feel a few pounds sneaking on!

Coconut oil on my skin, in my shakes and in my bath helps dry skin

Since it is going to be -20 concours here I might not get out at lunch but I will go to the gym

Got my new Fitbit to make me accountable for 10,000 steps

Happy New Year losers!

I see the nurse and she was wonderful with me

Don't eat 3-4 hours before bed also

I was 142 when I was married at 20. Funny how you think it is a terrible weight. You are doing fantastic

Walk and sip water. Best advice

Eating more protein helps me with the hunger

They have already filled the band to 3 or 4

I am praying to get rid of my sleep apnea but still look forward to the day I can brag that I found onederland

I placed mom in a nursing home yesterday. This CRISIS lasted through the holidays. I am stress eating. I am not weighing in January but I WILL get back on track
