Darcy-You can do it! Curves is waiting for you and s are all your new friends there! It is sad how fast kids grow, kind of like puppies! Speaking of which Lucy just jumped up on me with a sock she wants to play! She is doing better thanks. I started missing her food with the regular food this morning all seems to be going good. Your babies are cute! I love the pictures. Mary-WOW 2 shootings that's awful! And DS's ear. I do that when I clip nails so they stopped letting me do that years ago. Mandy-You mad me cry. What a wonderful thing to do. I'm so glad your scare was just that! Allison-Sounds like a nice time and good eatins..as hey say in the south..Sometimes we just have to have liquid calories..... Anne-How old are your little ones Eileen-that's scary!!! Kat-I'm glad you had a good time this weekend. DH sure seems to be doing well. Thanks the Lord. Patty-I hope you've enjoyed your last day of freedom! Beanie-Welcome back! I'm glad you had so much fun and got to RUN AROUND! We missed you and were thinking of you. Well if I knew this was my last day I would do the video thing and letters also then I'd go to the lake with the family and go for a row boat ride and take Lucy and Sandy along too. Well I'm exhausted so I think I'm signing off for the night. Hope you all have a good night. I'm so glad we have each other.

I don't think so. Since my fill my port has been gigglie but thats about it. I son't think we can feel our bands except for when we are full but that is just a full or uncomfortablt feeling not the band

Cool do I know who she is? I'll be there

Good luck. I can't wait to hear about those 28 pounds melting away. You can do it!

Never had a problem with it or any other seeded fruit or veggie.

There is also the band that you can use. It's like a huge rubber band there are all kinds of things you can do with it at home. I go to curves 3-4 times a week. I go at my own pace. I skip a few of the machines because of my back. I have done wonderful with it. I've made a lot of friends there and it is a fun time. It is also very imprtant to stretch after. I wish I had stretched my whole life!!! Good luck.

My PCP wants me to have a few bites of something every hour. So I will get up in the morning and have a slice of Hillshire turkey then an hour later another then I go to curves come home and have a protien shake. I take a Balance bar divide it in 3 and have a piece every few hours. I eat chicken of something "normal" for lunch and dinner. When I'm not PMSing I do great with this and lose around 1/2 pound a week which at this point in my WL journey they say is good. But PMS time, like you the chocolate calls me it's even waking me up in the middle of the night sometimes! I finially broke down and went for a small fill last week and today is my first full day of eating "normal" Perhaps that is what you need my fill was only .1cc, but I think it has helped me. Good luck if you want more info on the hourly diet PM me. Almost forgot. At times I will have 3 or 4 triscuits (fiber) laughing cow triangle or some other type of protien, and a few sugar free sweet pickles. This is a GREAT snack gives you a little bit of everything and the pickles really help the sweet tooth....I just always seem to forget that when I'm PMSing!

Keep going gang your doing great!

Hi Welcome to bandland! Walking is the best. I did start up with curves at my pace at 2 weeks. But like Darcy said check with your dr.

Well Good morning everybody! Its a hot humid day here in NC. Pools closed because the calendar says it should be...errrr.... I'm off to curves. I can move a little better this morning so I'll see what happens. So far so good with the fill!! I'll be back later for personals.

Yeah stuff is real bad out there. In the NJ site we have all exchanged emails via PM I an going to have Kelly set up a private website for us I will PM it all to you to use incase this site goes down. Be careful on what you click onto also because some people have had troubles and been sent to strange sites. Tonya perhaps when you come for your appointment some of us can meet up with you. Melissa how are you doing these days? My fill seems to be doing well last night was my first real food. Now I have to get the head right..the hard part..

Karen what day were you there? I was in on Thursday. Got .1 isn't Pam great!

When was the last time you saw your Dr and talked to him about whats going on? You have done fantastic I'm sure its very scary with the scale moving up 13 pounds, but try to look at where you have come from and get back on track. Good luck

How excited I know you will look wonderful and have a fun day. Can't wait to see the pictures!!!

Holy cow I stay away for 2 days and look what happens! Hey incase things go down I will have DD set up a secret website for us. She has done this before and it's great we use it with our core group girls. They yell cause I never go on it, but I promise if we have to, I'll use it! I'll PM ya'll when she sets it up. I haven't been on cause I've been feeling really crappy! Ache and tired I can hardly move. WFT is going on? I'm going to the Dr tomorrow is I'm not better in the morning. Sad news about the Croc Hunter so young! Were off to friends for dinner so I have to get some makeup on. I've been to tired to shower dress and do makeup so I'm taking it steps at a time..WTF is going on this is not me!! I had lymes desease and the IV about 12 yrs ago I sure hope this isn't a relap. Have a good night sorry about the complaining. Welcome Mandy and Chris.

Kat and Pat you girls look fabulous! I love the side by side picture Kat. I need to get DD do do that for me. Do you see it guys? Do you comprehend how great you look!!! Pauls the party looks like fun...The cat is huge!!! I wonder if he can get a band..lol..

COOL ANGIE! Can you go earlier on Saturday so we can run around in Ashville? Kathy how about you? I'll check into the hotel thing I went up 2 yrs ago with a friend and we stayed at this old country inn I don't know how expensive it was but if were dividing it up it shouldn't be to bed. I'll let you guys know. I also know there a Hampton in and other name brand hotels. PhotoNut, Tonya, Lyn, this will be so cool! Lyn do you know of any good places? Please PM me if you do. I hope this all works out! It would be fun!

Jennifer-How you have a great September! Sounds like a very busy time.

Hey John, Thanks for keeping us updated! Hugs and prayers for both of you. Tell her that I'm sure her second band will be wonderful jus like mine is, and to hang in there partner. Again I'm so so sorry.

Cindy-Thanks for the reminder!! It's so true! I love your idea. Sorry your going through ERRRR times. If ya need to talk I'm here I hear I listen pretty good. Darcy-Lucy is SO hyper! But feeling good the poor girl is just hungry they gave uscanned food for her to eat for a while and I can only give her about 1/4 cup at a time every 2 hours! She's starving! Mary-Hope things get better for you brother soon! Betty-I agree with Darcy and thanks for taking the time and caring enough for the website to do it! Eileen-I didn't even think about the tomato soup! DUH thanks for the reminder. I'm feeling good today not going to crazy with hunger! Sorry about your arthritis acting up that stinks. Don't you feel like you need to borrow the Tim Mans can? I am hearing from everyone that not just here, that they are having a tough food time. Could it have to do with the season change? To many people are eating like crap more the past 2 weeks than usual from what I'm hearing...humm seasonal eating dysfunction! Patty-Thanks for the recipe I will try it! Off to Columbia have a nice day girls...

I had not only a port leak but a bamd leak and he didn't have to do surgery to find it out. However I know nothing about the VG band. I had my first fill in Dec last year under fluro. 3 weeks later I went back in for more and when he pulled out what he had put in which was 1cc NOTHING came out. So 3 weeks later we did the fill under fluro. It was obvious that I had a small leak in the port and a major leak in the band. I would think that under fluro would be the fasted easiest way to find out. He never filled my 4cc band up to see what was going on. I would guess from my experience that you do not have a band leak. Port leaks are a lot more common, however that also was seen with the dye under fluro. Good luck.

WOW A GUY! How cool Angie WTG! OK so does he shave hs head? Or is he gonna shave his head for you..lol...I'm so happy for you I want details I'm sure we all do! What time on Tuesday is good for me to stop by? Seriously maybe we all could have a sleepover party in Ashville or maybe Black Mountain which isn't to far from there and a REALLY CUTE town. I'm always game for adventure! Lucy is home from the hospital and running around like she's been cooped up for 36 hours. Sandy was so happy to see her she right away brought over a toy for her. I can't believe how satisfied I feel with this fill. Last few times I had a fill I was starving. I'm really satisfied right now, so we;ll see what happens. I plan on not eating mushies until dinner tomorrow night that way it's a full 24 hours on liquids. Have a good night. Were off to Columbia first thing tomorrow morning.

Angie KAthy Kim why don't we see if we can get a hotel room and spend the night together. I may even be able to get us a freebee. How cool would this be!

Do you get a coffee break..lol...what is a good time to see you on Tuesday? Sorry you can't make Saturday you'll be missed.
