OMG Katiebug! You are unbelievable . . . FANTASTIC . . . and best of fast healing to you! Wish I had your youth on my side! Take care . . . I'm thinking of you! Chris

Looking great lady! You've got the right attitude! I have to start exercising more . . . my "middle" is being extra stubborn . . . but I attribute that to my age and having kids . . . and I still have quite a ways to go, so maybe it will start disappearing . . . I'm trying to be better with my food choices . . . and want to get the scales moving again too . . . moving DOWNWARD that is! Have a great new year! Chris

OMG Gail. .. you are fantastic!!!! You have really used that tool . . . wahoo! So glad to see you and hear how great you are doing! Keep it up! Chris

I can't believe the difference in EVERYONE in just a year . . . it is simply amazing! I can't wait for the next year! Chris

OMG Fanny . . . YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!! I thought we lost you forever . . . so good to see you! Keep up the good work! Chris

Yea Catherine! How cool is THAT! Keep it up!:thumbup:

thanks Shirley . . . and marathinner . . . we have the same doctor . . . so this must be a great sign we'll WIN!!!! Chris

Hope everyone enjoys the games this weekend . . . and the Chargers will be there at the end! Wahoo!!

Hi Shirley . . . Happy New Year to you! I had to have a slight unfill in November because I was getting so tight I couldn't even get Protein drinks down in under an hour . . . and was starting to get the reflux also. I now have 2 cc's in my 10cc band . . and that will probably do it for me . . . I just have to BEHAVE . . . and eat what I should . . . my head is taking a LONG TIME to catch up with my body! Glad to see you! Chris

Oh my ... there is life out there! Wahoo! lol Yes Steph - I have facebook . . . don't really know what to do with it . . . I'm chrissoporito@sbcglobal.net if that helps . . . because I can't even find people . . . really a dunce . . .I'm up 10 for the holiday . . . lost 5 . . . had a BAD day yesterday and I'm back on track today . . . I'm working 2 jobs now . .. everyone still lives at my house . . . the stress factor is out the window .. .but my DIL took her last oral chemo pill about a week ago . . . so maybe things will start looking up! Hey Steph . . . I'm ALMOST down to where you started! Happy New Year everyone . . . you were missed! Chris

Scorpio ... have you had fills? are you maybe to tight? My basics are cheese sticks, Wendy's chilli, tuna, salmon, scrambled egg whites with salsa and cheese, cottage cheese with salsa, and the list goes on . . . have you talked to your doctor about the pain? I have 2cc's in my 10cc band - had more but had to have it taken out because I was too tight . .. and couldn't even get liquids down a lot of times, especially in the morning. I still do a Protein shake every day because I can't eat enough protein to get enough in every day. Don't get discouraged - do get back on the wagon . . . and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Chris

Our site is almost dead . . . but we were hoping for our one year results poll to be a "biggie" . . . if you are out there . . . please post your first year results - and pic too if you have them! Here'e wishing everyone a GREAT New Years! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f100/merry-losers-happy-bandiversary-stats-pics-82298/ Chris

Hope everyone had a great holiday . . . and yes Shirley - I made lots of bad choices and have to get back on the bandwagon today! The scale is not my friend today after 5 days in Las Vegas . . . (one would have been enough) . . . Chris

Oh my GOSH Shirley! You look FABULOUS!!!! What a great job you have done - YEAAAAAA! Glad you got the pics to work . . . I love seeing the results! Chris

Hi Shirley . . . I use the Paint program - start with one - then copy a second one in, save it and continue on. My email is chrissoporito@sbcglobal.net if you need more info in a more direct manner . . . or .. . send them to me and I can build the pics for you. CONGRATS on the 80!!!!!:shades_smile:

Well I had an unfill . . . took out .5 so now I'm back to 2.0 in my 10 cc band - BUT . . . I am off cholesteral meds for a 3 month trial! That is the last daily med I was still on! On the down side, I call my PCP to talk about my bloodwork - and found out she is leaving NEXT WEEK . . . and now I have to find a new one :tongue2: I also changed my goal weight to something more realistic than the dream of 150 . . . at my age and for the length of time I've had all this weight - it seemed reasonable - and I can always go past it!

You are lookin' GREAT Mrs. K! I'm loving this!
