  1. Hi everyone! I thought that I would introduce myself. My name is Michelle, I live in Texas, I am 31 years old and have been married for 5 years...no kids...yet!

    I was banded on Feb. 9th. Loosing well so far. My biggest problem is eating too fast or too big of a bite. I get sick from that about once a week...you would think I would learn!

    Nice to meet all of you!


  2. Hello all!

    It looks like everyone is doing great!

    Diane - way to go on meeting your goal!

    Things are good here...down a half pound this week. A little disappointed, but I have not be trying at all. Still walking 5 days a week....just gotta get better with my food!

    Hope you all have a great day!


  3. I love this thread! I mean, who doesn't LOVE talking about and showing off their babies!

    Both of my babies are Miniature Pinschers. The black one is Lexis and she will be 5 in August - she weighs 6 lbs. The brown one is Beamer and be will be 2 in November - he weighs 8 lbs.

    This picture was taken about a year ago and they have changed so much! Bad Mommy for not having current pictures!

    Here they are:

  4. Hello again! Just got back from the dr...he said my B12 was low and so was my Iron. On supplements for both and got a B12 shot...here's hoping that helps my energy level!

    Cozzie - There are times I wish I could eat normal, but eating "normal" scared me so much (b/c I was gaining so much weight) that I am really glad I have the band!

    Tamyrn- I am with you...so close to wonderland! Can't wait to see the picture of you!

    Ok, I am going to be brave and post a couple of pictures:

  5. DONNA!!!! You poor baby! That sounds so miserable! I feel so bad for you!

    I keep thinking I need another fill, but then I eat something too fast and get that awful pain....THEN I read your story...I think I will WAIT for a fill!

    Thanks for sharing, but I am sooo sorry that you had to go through all of that!

    I hope you feel better soon!


  6. Congrats!

    I know we haven't met, but I live in the DFW area too...I so need to make it one of the meetings with you all!

    Which Baylor is doing your surgery? The one downtown? If it is, they really are a great hospital...the nurses will take such good care of you! My Mom just had a total knee replacement there about 2 months ago and they treated her like a Queen!

    Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!


  7. Hi everyone!

    Wow, you all must be as busy as I have been! Work has been crazy and my boss is back in town tomorrow until the end of the week.

    Got down to an all new low and have bounced up a 1/2 pound from there. I think this is my body's new thing...loose a bunch, bounce up a bit and then stall. I am working hard to keep track of my food intake and to make sure I keep walking!

    I would swear I need another fill, but just as the thought enters my head, I eat something and it gets STUCK....guess I don't need another fill!

    How is everyone??? I miss hearing from everyone!


  8. WOW! Thank you all for sharing....I never realized that I wasn't the only one who felt I really was as a thin person. I never felt like a fat person, I always felt like I was thin trapped in a fat person's body. I guess it really is a form of denial. I hate pictures of myself. In fact, I didn't take before pictures because I didn't want to know....I thought what if I don't do that well, wouldn't the picture just be more proof that I failed? Now I wish that I had.

    I keep intending to grab my camera, but I don't know if I can face it yet.

    Thank you all for sharing. You all amaze and inspire me on a daily basis!
