This is a pretty active thread. I was banded by Dr P last March. Im doing pretty well. A few plateaus but bumping along at 68lbs gone 57lbs to go. I know what you mean about the office being busy. No matter what time my appointment is I never get in under 45min late. I am happy that each time I go I see Dr P and not the PA.

I guess Fenton has slipped off the radar again. The stupid scale is moving again. I've been writing down every bit of food to pass my lips. A new Duncan Donuts just opened around the corner from me. I have to pass it when I drive anywhere. I can SMELL the donuts. This is the biggest test for me so far. I've been having some stress at work this past month. Im in financial services, primarily pension plans. Everyday, every hour I have to put out $$fires. I live for the weekends when the Markets are closed and I don't have to answer the same ?s over and over. :confused: Tess- welcome to two-ville. On the bra front- I think we all feel better when the girls are well supported. Have a good weekend everyone. I have to go my phone is ringing, again.

Rhonda-Holy crap! You're the LapBand Poster Child!!!!! What EXACTLY are you doing? Share girlfriend.

Hi all. I had a tiny fill today, but I know something is different. Maybe this will be the sweet spot. :wink2: On the hunger front I'm actually fine. I make it between meals without getting unusually hungry. My problem is portion. I eat out a lot (work + it's just DH & I for dinner) EVERYTHING looks so good on the menu. I try to keep it to appetizer portion but even those can be large. Plus I'm talking while Im eating and before I know it everything on the plate is gone. Booze is also an issue. When I socialize I like to have my glass(es!) of wine. That calorie count can add up. Then a little nibble here or there and BANG!! the pounds come on. I've been keeping up with the trainer 3 times a week with cardio after each session. I swim 45min once a week. :thumbup: I didn't make my goal of being my wedding weight on my anniversary. I'm 15lbs off. :mad2: How about 0nerLand for the New Year. That would be 18lbs for me, which sounds like a lot cause I've only lost 9lbs this last 3 months. Hmmm I'lll give it a shot. :smile2: Man Im sitting here drinking water and it really is going down slow. I will be so bummed if Im too tight and have problems. :sad: On the port discomfort front. I still feel it quite a bit. I asked my Dr and he said that it's normal & the padding over the port is "melting away" (his words). I broke down and bought a bunch of supportive underwear. Wow it really makes a difference in how my clothes fit, very smooth. It just feels weird having a waistband almost at my bra line. Ok enough said. Bye:wink2:

I was thinking of you during those days. I glad all is ok.

Go here Stones to Pounds conversion calculator

Im glad you, your family and home are in good shape. Don't go refilling that freezer with tempting stuff. I think it has been said before- you probably would have gained a lot more quitting without the band. You know you can make the band work for you now it is time to put it to work again. Get out and walk. Then report back. We are waiting for an update. Amanda

Ya, after your post I saw something on TV about it. I wonder how many bodyguards did the Tri also.

You class up the place.

whos? what?

A thanks? I just entered a Duathlon. Something to look forward to I guess.

Last night at dinner my daughter-in-law set the table and gave me a luncheon size plate instead of the dinner plates she gave everyone else. When I raised an eyebrow she said "your little bit of food looks so sad on a big plate". She's right. It does make a difference with the mind. I saw a full plate and didn't feel left out. Just though I would pass that along.

You have a great attitude! Yep exercise makes all the difference in the long run. Best wishes!! Amanda

Yep walking is good. keep it up!

It sucks when folks don't do their job as expected. Take this time to wrap your mind around the band. Ha? Ya I said that. Go over to the pre-op, nutrition, exercise & fitness, post-op boards. Write down your questions to take to the first consult. You should have questions. Also- What are your expectations? What do you think the band will do for you? What are you willing to do for the band? You should have the answers to those questions because any Dr worth anything will ask you something like that. Redirect the frustration you are having to empower yourself to succeed with your decision. That will help with the depression too.

OK Im going to give you some tough love: JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN (eat anything) DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD! Why are you testing your band? Do you want to have problems? What are your food guidelines? Remember protein first & small portions. You are not looking to eat until you feel full at a meal. You are looking to not be hungry. Learn the difference and you will have success! OK Im done. Good luck on your journey.
