Now I really know that part of my slow weight loss is because I had not had a fill from August -December. I could not get in for months and then when I did get my December appointment my surgeon went on about how I HAD to make sure I was here every 4-5 weeks for a fill. I explained that he was booked up since the October and I could not gt in until December... So, I don't have an appointment for another week but I'm calling in the am to make a 5 week appointment early so I don't have to wait 6-7 weeks or longer. But...I'm estatic about my 11 pounds.....I'm back on track adn feeling great. I'm not going to be where I wanted to be next month but I'm hoping I will make my first goal by July. I also ordered Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred from Overstock.com and they sent the wrong DVD...so I have to wait for a replacement. Thank you all for listening, Bren

Thank you for the great post! And congrats on your awesome weightloss!

I'm happy to hear you are feeling better.

Breakfast- 1 packet high Fiber cinnamon swirl quaker oatmeal and skim milk Lunch- small salad with chicken, tomato, cukes, lite ceasar dressing Dinner- Lean Cuisine Meal, small veggie salad 64 ounces of Water

I'm still here too. I'm struggling...I have been such a slow loser. I finally had a fill on December 23rd. Since then I have lost an additional 8 lbs. YAY! I just hope I can get myself on the losing side... I have been pretty depressed that I have yet to lose 50 pounds and my anniversary is the end of February. Can we start a "what did you eat today?" thread. That would be great. I will try to post more so I can stay on track.

Hello Everyone and Happy Holidays to you all. I had a fill yesterday...My first since August:thumbdown: With my stress in my life as you all know, I know I should have fought more to get a fill sooner. My Doctor was really great about it and talked to me about my personal issues I ahve been having and shared his past issues that were the same. He was sooo wonderful. I'm back on track and ready to become a loser again. I'll see you all in January and before. Here are a few of my New Years Resolutions : #1 Journal everything and stay on track! #2 Report in more here to all of my Lap band Friends. #3 Exercise at least 3 times a week...NO LESS

Ezma, You do have alot on your plate. I'm wishing you lots of weight loss and prayers for your husband. It is a busy time of year...maybe crazy is a better word...lol

Hello everyone, I have been gone for a while. Major depression...It looks like I'm heading toward a divorce:( We are starting counseling next month. I have been a slow loser any way and have had problems with PBing at least 2 times a week. This marriage thing started in October, and I have gained 5 pounds since then.. I feel like a failure all the way around. I have put up with alot of emotional and mental abuse for quite a while and have decided that I'm not going to put up with it. He needs to change and I also have things I need to work on too. It's still sad since we have two boys almost three and four eary next year. I don't want them living in an unhappy home and I want to be happy. Anyway, I've started on anxiety and depression meds. I've just been so sad. I have not been eating at all and if I do it's been bad foods. I really need to start losing again and start journaling my food. I have not had a fill since August and am not scheduled until the 23rd of this month. I REALLY need a fill too, so that does not help. I have just been so out if it and and really nervous about seeing my Doctor... I'm afraid I'm going to get the third degree about my weight loss. Thank you for listening.

LOL How funny!

Thank you all for your input on this subject. I will have to deal with the wrinkle issues AFTER all of my weight loss and PS. Thanks again, Bren

Now that I'm close to 50 pounds lost (I need to update my ticker), I' worried at 43 that as I get cloer to my goal I will look older. I know i shouldn't feel this way. I'm 43 an most people guess between 35-37. I'm getting a few more wrinkles around my eyes...so I think I'm just freaking. has anyone tried Botox? Did you like the results> How expensive was it? How often did you have to do it? I have seen different people lose a big amount of weight and it just aged the alot. Maybe they were too skinny?...I don't know...just my paranoia I guess.

You look great! Thank you for sharing:)

You have to feel so good! Congrats!

I'm thinking of going this route since I need something quick to eat at work! I've always been home with my boys until now. Can anyone give me their favorite Smart Ones or Lean Cuisines? Thanks I don't really see anything wrong with these. I will drink a few more glassed of Water each day to account for the extra sodium content!

Awesome!

Fall is also my favorite time of year. I love the colors...Fall is a great time to walk and enjoy the crisp air. We have had some great weather! I'm enjoying my coffee too and I too like my creamer! So I have to limit my coffee each day too. I even put away my regular coffee maker and bought a one cup maker. Its perfect!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and hubby. I hope you get get around this insurance thing somehow. It's so unfair.

I agree, concentrate on your weight loss and see his tune change. I really think its hard not to think of the terrible things he's said. You may or may not find that he is not the one for you. You need someone who is going to treat you like a princess everyday.

I was banded 2.25.08. I have a slow weight loss, but then 4 pounds this week...I'm hoping I'm going to continue losing at a higher rate for at least a few weeks...LOL Good Luck to You

Awesome! That is awesome!
