I hate that!! And there is something to be said about mothers and there coments, approval, disapproval and eyes! Not only do I have one I am one! When I first had the surgery I wanted NO ONE to know. I had been thinking about having it for months before I even mentioned it to my husband. I told my sister first and then eventually my mother. I told her I didn't want the rest of the family to know. Well I found out in December that everyone knew. Last night she asked me how the food has been going. I told her I've beenhaving a tough time. I could hear the disaproval in her voice. But she is supportive and said it sure isn't an easy thing. You will lose and you wil eat less because you have no choice. I'm sure your family will turn out to be great cheerleaders as mine have become. Try not to fret. Do for you what you have to do. They obviously love you and are concerned. Don't forget this online family is the best!

Hey Partner, Whats going on? You are doing great! Why are you so nervous? So many more people are being banded these days, so of course there will be more complications. It's a #'s game. The band is still the safest WLS there is. Stop reading the complications site. You know if I had to do it for a 3rd time there would be no question about it, I'd do it again. PM me or call me if you want. Hang in there, you can do this. Don't worry. My Dad always used to tell me that the main thing is not to worry!

Cngratulations! I am 200-201-200 I haven't hit the onderland yet, but I'm sure I will cry all day also. That is great news!!! Pretty toe nail polish also!

KIM-WTG that is so exiting!!! I can't wait to see you. Are you buying new clothes these days that show your lose off? Angie-Sounds like you had a nice weekend. I keep looking for a friend with a boat! We used to have 2 friends with sail boats and had a blast! I did better with food today, so hopefully I'm on a turn around. Went to curves and then took a mile walk. Got an awful migrain. I'm tempted to take him to the er if he doesn't feel better soon. He's having trouble thinking and talking. Gott run

Patty-Please sign below. Fun "girl" who doesn't want to grow up is in need of a home near Disney. Looking for brothers and Mom to laugh and have fun with...lol..that sounds weird...You are so much fun! Good luck with the insurance. Sherry-What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing with us. Cindy-((((Hugs)))) Betty-I'm so glad to hear your DB is getting better and that you had such a fun weekend. Take care of that foot! I got a blister this morning between my toes and I've been wining ever since. I'm a big baby. Eileen-I'm so sorry about your brother. How sad to lose a sibling. I can't believe they stopped the lottery and gambling is it for good? It sure doesn't make sense to me I had no idea. Donna-Sorry to hear about Johns Aunt. Thank you for being the mom of a son who wants to represent our country. Last week to went to our good friends retirement from the Navy. He is a Captain and has been for 24yrs. Going to the base and being there gave me chills. The families give up so much letting their loved ones go both emotionally and physically. So my had is not only off to your wonderful son, but to you and the rest of your family. God Bless you all and God Bless America. Beanie-Thanks, me too! I have been better with the food today. Emotionally it's still tough. Thanks for the hugs. Well I'm very happy today I got a sale!! It's been quite a while. I hope and pray I get another one this week! I really need to make 3 or 4 more this month. Sure not the easiest thing to do. We had a great 4th I think it turned out to be about 30 people over for our small get together...but it was really nice. Our neighbors were kind enough to spend thousands of dollars on fireworks for us. We all took our chairs and moved to the front of the house and had quite a show. I ate pretty well today. Didn't sleep again last night, finally took a sleeping pill at 2AM. Got up at 7 went to curves then a walk. I can hardly keep my eyes open right now. DH has a horrible migraine he's sleeping now. I worry about him so much these days. He couldn't even remember his BIL's name and could hardly talk. I don't feel like cooking so I'm not gonna. It's a fend for yourself night. Have a good one. Night night

Eileen-Thanks, I know it is alot of emotional crap going on right now. I know it will pass I just want it to pass NOW!!! I love how they decorate Oakland for the 4th and Memorial day. Well in the olden days when I lived there it was real pretty. You know those HUGE trees over by the middle school, they are pine trees. My mothers kindergarten class planted them! I hope there still there..lol.. Enjoy your day everybody.

Cindy-I think what you told your daughter was beautiful. I can't remember how I told my daughter. I'll have to ask her. Anniversaries are terrible. My dad died almost 20 yrs ago and every year I get weird for several weeks. It is strange but once the date goes by it does get easier. Hugs..you need them right now. Betty-Sorry about your foot. Have a great time away. Eileen- One year we were shooting off fire works in our back yard and a cop came. Garry thought it was a neighbor playing a jock on us and he continued to shoot them off then realized it was no joke. All came out fine and the cop was cool. It was funny. NJ is weird. SherryW-What a nice surprise! Sounds like you got quit a thoughtful hubby. Happy Anniversary. Patty-You are the most fun mom I know. Will you adopt me please! Hi Dave-Welcome Beanie-BBQ sounded great yesterday. Glad your having such a nice time with your DH. Enjoy! Hello everyone else. I have tons of catching up to do. I think I need a fill but I'm really not sure. I just can't seem to be satisfied lately. I'm PBing more than usual but I'm HUNGRY. Any suggestions? Tomorrow we are having a "small" get together. It was supposed to be about 12 people. Well since the 4th is truly a family holiday we are up to about 30..AHHHH...I'm just making burgers everyone else is bring over the rest of the stuff. Hopefully I won't stress out to much before they get here. Well I'm off to bed. Missed you all. Have a great day tomorrow if I don't get a chance to get on here. Night night

Hi Everybody, I have been out of sight but you haven't been out of my mind. Have a happy 4th. Melissa that stinks about your card!! What a creep! I need some advice. I can't tell if it's my head or if I reallly am hungry. I think I really am hungry. I made it to 200 and then the other day when I went on I was back at 201 1/2. I've been eating when I'm not hungry and when I am hungry. I don't feel full. I'm talking myself into a fill as I type this. I've been down in the dumps about a lot of personal crap going on. But it seems like ever since I set a goal with a # I've been screwing things up for myself. Sorry for wineing.

Angie, Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you 1 yr anniversary. Congratulations!! You have done wondrful. I love the size 12 story. You should be very proud of yourself. Big hugs

It was way cool! Courtney, it was great seeing you!! I'll call you next week about getting together....MAYBE we could meet around lunch time next Friday and whoever can join us can.... We have 2 parties today.urgh. I'm exhausted! I'm off to curves and then hopefully to buy a bra. I don't know about you guys and your hooters, but mine are still HUGE!!! DDD errrr no shrinkage there yet, no wonder why I lean forward and my back hurts. The last time I was measured the girl said I was a 36 DDD...I don't believe her and they didn't have a bra that size. I have to go find a good place to get the correct size. Sorry TMI I"m sure for a Saturday morning.

Sorry to hear about this. Would have loved to have met you. I totally understand the feelings about leaving. God will let you know what you need to do and when. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom.

Jill I'd be going nuts too! OK I have a really funny story to tell you. Last night I was at a meeting in Harrisburg. There were lots of differen't venders there. I met this florist who looked kind of familiar. We were both at the buffet. I looked over at her plate and she had the tiniest piece of chicken and a few other things. In the mean time I've got a plate with Pasta cheese stick and a regular piece of chicken. I saw her plate and said I should eat like you. I landed up telling her that I had Lapband surgery and low and behold she said she did too....Then we realised we had met before...Can you guess who it was?

Dr.C, Thanks for being on the board! I also have the same boss as you!! He's so cool. My band had a leak in it and had to be replaced. Second surgery was not fun at all!!! Do you think I am more likely to have slippage now? What can I do to prevent it. Thanks for being here.

Your doing GREAT!

What great news! Congratulations! You have done fantastic! Do you know what the baby is yet? I bet you look adorable and happy.

I am so sorry your going through this!!! Thoughts and prayers are with you partner!!!

WOW Trish, I didn't realize you had this going on. Why do they think you got the infection? It sounds like it is separate from the leak. OMGosh I'm SO SO SORRY!!! Keep me posted please. I'll keep you in my prayers

Angie, You'll get it. I stupidly ate a whole ice cream from Cold Stone last night. OMGoodness it was awesome and I enjoyed every single bite! I brought the 3 hour diet book. Bobbie a nurse from our office, had the by-pass several years ago. To me she doens't look like she needs to lose an ounce, but she told me about this "diet" she tried it for a week and lost 2 1/2 pounds!!! So yesterday I went to www.3hourdiet.com and got the book through amazon. I will hopefully be picking up my copy over at borders today. I figure it's worth a shot. I tried eating every 2 hours one day and that helped with the hunger. It is a little harder with 3 hours, but I'm trying. Yesterday I was doing well with the 3 hours, then I went to costco and brought there fabulous chicken. When it was time to eat I made a wonderful plate fresh string Beans applesause and chicken. While I was waiting for the SB's to cook I ate 2 wings. By the time I sat down for my wonderful meal.....I was PBing! Bummer! I'm off to Harrisburg later this afternoon for a meeting at 5:30. Anyone want to meet up earlier? My meeting is at the Hibernian Hall. There is a lot of stuff around there. Bye for now

OH Betty- I am so sorry. I will be praying for all of you. God Bless

Sherry-What a mess at work. Sorry to hear that. I hate that snoring stuff! GL Beanie-How's the hangover? Sorry about your team. Enjoy NJ/NY. Sorry we were on the wrong week! Pat-That baby sure is a cutie! The boys sure look comfy! Cindy-Congrats on the good news at the Dr's! Darcy-Thanks so much for your support! I'm glad you have a sick free dog day! Once I learn how to make the pictures smaller I will be boring all of you with Lucy, Sandy and Poose pictures.... Donna-How nice, you must be so proud. Thank him for me, and thank you! Well I'm off to sing my heart out..lol..now that would be scary! Tonight is our last choir practice until August. Tomorrow I have a Dr appointment with a new PC I feel bad about leaving the old one but she's so far away. I still may go in and see her one last time, she hasn't seen me since December and she has been very supportive. Besides that not much going on around here. I hope you all have a good night and stay cool!!

WTG Karen you can do it. Angie-I can't imagine all that your going through. 4 pounds is not the end of the world. Don't beat your self up to bad. You have been the inspiration for myself and so many others here. You will do fine. Trust in the Lord and ask him to hold your hand. We all know you can do, cause you have! (((hugs)))

Aww thankyou! Sherry how did you make me smaller?...lol... I've tried to take a picture every month.
