I learned right away that having them sized is MUCH cheaper than losing them... I learned the hard way after looking down and seeing my 5k platinum ring gone.... Found it an hour later laying on the front porch when I was leaving for my run it must have slipped off.

I guess I missed the posers posting.

So elegantly put. I missed this the first time around lol :tt1:

Nothing that night. But if you really want some we could scrounge something up. You and me both ;( I just blame everything on rhonda I am scared to re-read... I might have to have a drink LOL Hmm well I can't do that I have a meeting in 30 minutes :thumbup: and the 1 I had at lunch is probably enough for now :tt1:

redo the weeks as many times as you want. no one cares but you... Christine who doesn't come on here much anymore once said.... You only cheat yourself. Think of it that way. I have lost 91 lbs I am close to goal and even I reran week 1 for 2 weeks and guess what!? Week 2 I decided to do 10 runs before I move on. I want to succeed and to do that I have to do what I am comfortable with. Not worry what others are doing or what someone else will think. Yep what she said. I couldn't walk a block now I run it. Please take a breath and use puncuation.

Morning Glou

I wish then I would use it on the days I am SUPPOSE to exercise haha.

How come on the days I am spose to rest it's the days I want to exercise?

Really!? hmm Ok so there is no way I believe there is some dude alive running around in heaven. It was just a very good novel written by many people.

I have something similar but not quite the extreme. I am a foodie and LOVE to cook.. I will cook excessive amounts of food only to have 2 bites most of the time. I get about 500-1000 calories a day in food. I have been working to up that even though I get very bored while eating. Like Lu as well I talk fast/ answer my own questions/easily distracted. I recently began dishing my plate first and picking at it while I am getting the kids and DH's plates served. I then make it a point to sit down at the dinner table. In our house family eats together period. I don't move until everyone is done. I have upp'd my calories that way. I don't have hunger pang since my last fill almost a year ago. I don't even think it's possible for me to feel it. I only eat by the clock. If you're on adderol you're probably aware that it is an appetite suppressant as well? Exercise for most also suppresses as you mentioned. If I were you I would see the doc about your meds and explain the issue and be honest with him. Maybe he can lower the dose based upon the weight lost, see a counselor who specializes in eating disorders and weightloss surgery, Move the time you exercise.

WOW seriously? There is no way I would ever believe there is some dead guy somewhere in 'heaven' keeping an eye on 6 billion people.

Kelsey I have never had to use one but I hear about people using the fill centers of america or something like that.... Most doctors wont do fills/unfills if they didn't do the surgery. Lame as it is I think they are worried about being accused of damaging the port or tubing.

Hillarious. Made my day. I don't like your world KC... It's sleepless. Go to frickin bed women!! I really wished it had been :mad2: Too many lately... MJ (Care less) but farah and patrick they will be missed. Very smart Beth I am all about the CYA. Even though I could never imagine anything happening with DH and I we both have seperate accounts and a joint account. We each put money into our individual accounts weekly.. we pay into it just as if it was a bill. If something were to happen to him I would be able to access what I need easily.

I was planning a vacation once and over heard a girl doing that same thing.. So I would just call a local travel agent and ask them about it.

You should never listen to the crap they feed you about the % you can lose... I hate when they do that. I think most people can and do lose most or ALL of their weight. I will be 100% honest.. Until the last month I didn't even attempt to work out I only changed my eating. Now I am running... However, in the time I was banded and didn't try to work out I lost 77% of my excess weight. I am 20lbs from my goal right now and 27lbs from a medically healthy weight. I am having to work for the last bit of the weight and I am sooooo ok with that. I am loving being able to run and it makes me want to do MORE! I will never be fat again.

Sorry for the double post. I have a question... The first 2 weeks of running my side muscles hurt from I believe the large breaths that I was taking... However now my ABS hurt front and center like I did a ton of sit ups.. Anyone else get this?

Well I managed to drag my butt outta bed at 430 and run I am able to do the entire week 2 run so that's pretty sweet. Going to redo it for another week to get my body more adapt to it.

Good luck slim! PJTP Kinda suprised myself today. It's only 4pm right now and I wore a pedometer today to see how many steps I take after reading the 10,000 step challenge thing online. I have taken 8200 steps and I haven't even really tried to get in extra steps. I did do a 10 minute walk earlier at work to get my muscles loosened from my run yesterday.

Write down anything and everything you can think of. It's very likely they will answer the questions before you even get to that point but better safe than sorry. Make sure you that you discuss after care with them and their fill processes. Find out if they use numbing gels for fills. How soon after surgery can you have a fill. Do they have a liquid diet. What is their post op diet. Is there a doctor available for emergency unfills. Will the nurses take questions over the phone if you think of more ... etc

I would stick with the band and NO I wouldnt do the cambridge diet. 500 calories a day is not healthy at all. Most become low carb eaters without trying with the band as most do not tolerate breads and such well. My diet is tons and tons of meats,eggs, fish, dairy etc. I would just stick with the band and make sure you follow the docs orders on the eating. You will lose weight and keep it off.

I wish I were busy today Glou... Quite the opposite from my weekend.. Weekend was jam packed and rush rush rush. I get to work and it's relax time lol.

That's normal. Alot of people that go from liquids to soft foods do not lose anything or they gain some back. I wouldn't worry about it and continue working towards eating correctly.

Hello Nail. You will be fine. You don't have a fill or anything yet do you? Just take it very slow when you start to see how you tolerate the food. I would go with chicken or fish and make sure it's moist and cut it into very small bites.... Chew chew chew

Hi Liz. If I was you I would write down every question you can think of even if you feel it has been answered. You can tell the surgeon you have done your research but that the answers weren't from medical staff so you would like to get his input on them. It's never good to assume that were right on here. If at all possible ask your surgeon.

Hello and welcome to LBT Kelsey. Have you looked for a fill center or a doctor for your fills near you college? It would be scary to travel that far for a fill... if you're too tight and you have to have an emergency unfill would you be able to get back to your surgeon?
