It has worked great for me I'm almost at the 4 foot club! I go 3-5 times a week although I haven't gone in the past 2 weeks due to business. I have a bad back and have to skip 3-4 of the machines and it still works great for me. Enjoy

Jill-I get the hick-ups constantly. Everyone laughs including me when they happen. How are you guys. None of us have been on here in days. Kathy-I also made Kim wait, so don't feel bad about me. Karen-what a beautiful house! I hope you can sell yours. That is the exact type of house I want someday. Kim-I'm sure that whenever is good for her they will work it out. I don't even know what day it falls on but I'm sure evenings work out. My little Lucy is scaring me I have tons pf people praying for her. I have to take her to the vet at 10:40 this morning to make sure she doesn't have a blockage! DS and I had to give her an enama around 12:30 last night. WOW that was not easy poor puppy. I'll keep you posted as to how she's doing.

Happy Birthday and Welcome! This is a wonderful site. I sure am addicted! Your day will be here in no time and then before you know it you will be looking back on your first year. I am sure you will love the band if you stay away from the cheese cake and fried food...lol... I love mine and am thrilled I have it. Good luck.

I love that I'm not the only bone holder here..lol..But Lucy also gets me to take walks. We have the invisible fence but she still needs to exercise and so do I. So at night after dinner when chocolate would be great we go for a 1-2 mile walk then watch TV with the bone.

I also want to thank Alex and the mods for all you do. I have made so many friends here and gotten so much support. Thank you all for your continued support to each and every one of us!

wow thats a heavy to put on you isn't it. Of course the rny therapist is going to oped for you to have what she had. PCP's know more about the rny than the lap-band so they tent to favor that only because of lack of knowledge. I met a women a few months ago that had the rny I have no idea what she weighed, but she sure needs it agian. Both surgeries are good if you willing to work. neither is a fix it for ever treatment unless you THINK about what your doing, what your putting in your mouth. Over all weight loss for both surgeries is between 75-100 according to my pcp after that it is up to you. I asked my surgeon if his wife was having WLS which one would he want her to have. His answer after waiting a few minutes was if it was her or myself I would have the lap band first. If it didn't get the results I wanted then I could always chose the rny. It is the safest non-evasive surgery out there. Ask your surgeon. You have to decide if it is going to work for you no matter which surgery you chose. For me my major thing was I didn't want the risks that came with the rny. It just isn't worth it to be to be thin and sick and perhaps die. I would rather stay fat. So when I heard of the band I did lots of head thoughts and research and prayer. I am 11 months out. I haven't gone on the scale in about 5 weeks but last check I was 73+ pounds down. I am the type of person that needs the check ups witht the Dr to keep me on task. I don't mind the fills once in a while and I like the fact that I can eat just about anything I want. Good luck and keep us posted as to what you do. Either was we are here to help support you.

It sounds to me like you need more protien thats the main thing they told me that if you have less than 60 a day your body will not lose.

I'm praying for Abigail Mandy and everyone that is having upcoming surgery. I pray for all of us on this board. I love this thread. Hey Guys, Please say a quick prayer for our little Lucy (puppy) she is having stomach trouble and if she doesn't seem better in a few minutes I'm going to take her to the emergency vet. She loves her pull toy which has lots of strings and I fear that she may be all tied up inside...yikes...DH is out of town and kids have school so I'd be taking her solo. She is only 9 months old. It's 12:40 AM.

LOL I"m pretty sure I'm going to hold off. Maybe I'll make the appointment for the day I get back!

Hi everybody! Welcome..Hope to see you on the 9th!

thanks Karen!

Betty-Sorry you felt so bad yesterday. Fevers are no fun! Kat-Hope you and DH had a nice walk last night. I've been to lazy to go for a walk these days. It's been so humid and when I go I want to take Lucy, but she's 31 pounds and I have to pick her up to get her over the invisible fence. I know excuses excuses! Eileen-I bet the party was fun! Do you have any plans for this week? Cindy-I'll be a goalie for chocolate! Darcy-I forgot where you live, are you near the Cape? So I have been trying to decide again weather to have a fill or not and I think I'm going to hold off! Or am I stupid not to have one..HELP..I don't know..We go on the cruise on the 21st of Sept. I don't know if I'm losing, but everyone is telling me I look smaller. Size wise I'm still a 12 I did zip a 12 up and they felt good but they were a huge 12 and none of the other 12's zipped. I haven't been on the scale in about 5-6 weeks and now with TOM here I won't until next Monday. But here's the eating scoop. Now that PMS is over I do have some control back in my life! We went to eat yesterday and I had a full piece of chicken parm a tiny bit of salad, small piece of bread, really only to crust of a piece, and 4 bites of canoli. I was stuffed for the rest of the afternoon. Then of course last night I had to eat dinner so I had 4 of those costco egg rolls they are small and I think there like 260 calories for 4. Saturday we met Kim, for lunch and I ate less than 1/2 of a small omelet. she thinks I need a fill cause I get hungry. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! OH AND WHAT HAPPENS IF WE GET TO 4CC? Have a good day. I'm bummed the pool is now closed until 3:30! This is the last week they are open..errrrr...bummer I'll see you guys later. Have a good day.

Kat- I LOVE that idea! That is too funny! OK I know how you can do it...Take a head shot of him then put it between your thighs it will look PERFECT!!! LOL NO PUN THERE HUH Betty-How sad about your nephew! How old was he when the accident happened? Is he well enough now to live on his own? What a miracle his life is! Patty-WOW GIRL I'm so sorry your having such a tough time. 3 times is a charm, hang in there they'll ok you. You may want to PM Mrs.Sadre , that's Karen she wrote a wonderful letter herself to the insurance company after being denied you might want to copy it and send it off. Sorry about your back that does stink. You are lucky you have another week off of summer. Well lasts nights show was hysterical. We had about 12 nuns, we looked great! it was so much fun the whole night. Over 300 people attended. I've got to take a nap feeling like crapola due to TOM so I'm off to nap land I wish it was raining out I hate sleeping on a beautiful Sunday afternoon!

Hey Kim it was fun meeting you and Curtis for lunch yesterday. What a cool place! Sept 19 our church is having a "Fall kid's konsignment sale" One of the cirlces wants to sponsour your cousin and the other family. They will be emailing me details. They will let them come in before hand and get stuff I think they are giving them coupns or something, and then at the end they can have whatever else they'd like. I think they also get furniture.

I got a puppy and she sits on my lap and I hold her bone for her so she is chewing and I'm watching TV she is spoiled but I love the time with her and it sure does make me eat less at night!

WOW T thanks I've never heard of Seasonale. what about Weight gain with the pill? I will talk to my doctor SOON about this. My PCP mentioned medirean(?) maybe it's meridian, andyway it kind of scared me. Thanks for the info I will look into to further. We all need to post our pictures on our anniversaries coming up on this thread, don't you think!!

Karen-The house is beautiful! Good luck with it all working out!

Thanks guys. It was a fun night!!

Darcy-I'm sleepy I hope you know I'm only being funny you are the farthest from an A Hole. I just always say that about me and everyone I know that has that test. Oh man I feel like I'm putting my foot in my mouth tonight. Sorry I don't want to affend anyone!

Betty- Thanks for that nice complement. I sure know what you mean about sleeping late on days you can't! It's just not fair! Darcy-Isn't it comforting knowing that you really are a perfect _ _ _ hole..lol..I have to make sure I'm still one soon. I hate the day before but I do like the lap top idea! I'm sure you;ll all know when it's my turn! Those drugs are great! Eileen-Wow thank goodness he's ok! What a scary thing, I sure hope he learned his lesson. I sure wish I knew when it's going to stop! I ate pretty good today and we just went out for Mexican. Of course when we came home though I had to have a little chocolate! WTF! I'm so glad your taking vacation next week. I bet you'll have a wonderful week with that cutie of yours, not to mention your pool! Pat-Thanks for the update. That is so sad I feel so bad for all of them. Enjoy your weekend hopefully the new girl will work out for you. Natesma-hi I wondered what you were talking about lol Kat-You have been through so much! I really don't know how you keep it together, well I guess I really do that special strength! I'm glad that the Dr is giving DD hope. Keep us posted. Scary popcorn story, glad your feeling better. Cindy-I pretty mush stick around here and NC. But like you it is interesting sometimes to snoop, I can't believe how stupid some people act on here, I don't mean LB questions I mean other dumb comments about "stuff" I guess I really mean how immature some can be! None of this sounded right did it! Sorry, I'm shutting up now. Well we practiced Sister Act for tomorrow night. Added motions to the music and then we all forgot the words..lol..it is going to be scary. Have a good night.
