We did go ut to dinner so my finial meal of the day was...alot.... chicken parm, 1 cutlet, 2 & 1/2 garlic knots. urgh, now we have a movie for the night and of course with that comes twislers. I am full so hopefully I won't eat any. I've done so well I hate to blow it!!!! Kim you are doing fantastic I don't know how your doing it...what about chocolate!!! I feel like I'm slipping into depression...please say a prayer so I don't! I'm going to go write in my journal now. Hopefully that will help. Night night.

GReat news. This Band sure does make you smile doesn't it!

Congrats and WELCOME

Well it happened again. I was writting most of you a personal with heartfelt thoughts to all of you and I got kicked off!! So Congrats on the new jobs!!! Eileen- That really sucks! I'm glad that you have a good relationship with your old boss. GL Zan-Panthers should be everyone's team, because they kicked the...who was that that showed up on Sunday, oh yeah the Giants butts! NO they are really a nice team. We are very personal with our Panthers down here and there are so many good men on that team, thats why I like them. Pink eye stinks I hope it's better Cindy. Patty I'm thinking of you today, hope all goes well Sherry I want to tattoo my right hand with what you said! Keri- smaller sizes are the best! WTG Irene-Do you ever travel to Charlotte? Ok I'm down today. I know it's the head mental thing going on. I know it's more the head than the mental. I hate negative stuff on here, so I'm trying to be positive, but I'm getting a bit depressed about this so I'm going to tell you. I got filled last week. My doc who I love and who is great and I would recommend him to anyone said that I may have a leak. I should be 2cc's he wasn't able to get much out from my last fill. He said it's just a wait and see thing and I go into floro on the 26th. So my ? is am I hungrier because this is on my mind? I know that this is one of the things and I'm really fine with it, well sort of, so if I need it replaced (the port) I need it replaced. I felt satisfied up until yesterday. The scale said I've gained 3 pounds since Monday. I haven't been supper fantastic with eating, but I haven't been horrible. I hate the scale and I have really been good with staying off of it until last week and this week. So my New Week resolution is to stay off of it until my next ANYTHING negative about the band. I really feel that I will not have a leak and everything will be fine. have a good day.

Wow a lot has happened since I've been on last. Angie-Wow, I'm so glad your home and gallblatterless and feeling good. Kim- Goodnews that he can do it back in the office next time. Melissa-It sure sounds like you had a wonderful trip. Glad the little one is feeling better. Spoke with Loretta the other day and she would like to meet us for lunch on Wednesday downtown. 11:45 Showmars our normal spot. So come and join us. I'm not sure this fill is working. I felt fuller in the begining of the week than I do now. The scale says I'm up 3 pounds which really ticks me off. So I'm now going back on my no checking the scale more than 1 time everyother week. errrrr Have a good day.

Kathy, Debbie is coming on the 28th to meet everyone. So think of those questions. I told her about you and how you want the head thing to work with the weight loss. She was encouraged about how you know they have to go together. It is wierd but so many people don't realize that. I saw her today. I've been seeing her like once a month since I started thinking seriously about the surgery. So I"m getting shrunk while shrinking...lol... I look at her as my girl friend though, not my shrink...my very wise girl friend. It is so great to have her she even gave me some of her 1X's! We went to Showmars yesterday it was real nice, Kim, Karen and me. All went well today. Heading to bed now I hope to leave for curves by 7 tomorrow. night night

What a wonderful trip it sounds like your having Melissa. I want details please when you get home. This year is our 25th anniversay. Most people would go w/o kids, but ours are adults and we love family time. We are looking to do something with them, not sure what, perhaps a cruise? Kim-I hope everything goes well with Curtis this morning. Well I"m off, going to see Debbie in an hour, so I can work on more head stuff!! ttyl,

Monday, Oh Melissa, believe me, I feel like the queen of sweets! B-10AM-Pshak L-12-1 chicken strip(not fried at least) applesause S-Oh this was bad, handful of peanutbutter M&M's maybe(12) then omgosh...home made baklava! My girlfriend makes this for Christmas and brought me some. It is the most wonderful thing I've ever tasted. I bet there are 10thousand calories in 1! I think I am going to break down and give a bunch away tonight at my circle. That will be hard and sad for me..lol.. D-6:30 cup of chile over 8 chips and melted cheese.

I'm in and so is Debbie.

yup...it's all the process...When I start for no reason, I remind myself, this is a process that I need to go through..as wierd and awful as it is! See you at lunch I'm heading down in a few minutes.

LOL How fun..Bet that will be to small in no time!

That is wonderful news!

Well then you should sit next to Debbie! Hang in there. I think we are doing lunch today right? I'm coming down for it. Do you have my cell # and home #? I'll give you a call on my way downtown to figure out the time. I think Kim said 12:45? I just have to be back home by 3 the latest. Were taking both the cat and dog to the vet today!! One of the best things that Debbie ever told me, when I was crying all the time, was that this is a process. These emotions that you are feeling are important and it is ok to feel them and let them out. So your not cracking up, it's ok and you/we all have to go through this to succeed. I hope that helps a little. I remind myself of it constantly!

Good morning everybody, What did ya'll think of those Panthers yesterday!!! Now living in NC I love the Panthers, but I really wouldn't have been upset it the Giant's won either, since NJ will always be called home to me. I hated FB until I moved here, now I understand it so I like it. Doc, your going to love your band. Just think this time next week it will be all over with and your new exciting life will begin! Pat and Betty- Your weather sounds wonderful! This week we are supposed to be in the mid 60's today may hit 70. I'm so glad I didn't buy a lot of heavy sweaters! We sold our showel for 25 cents when we moved here! I wish I could say I cook ahead also, but I don't. Although we have enough chili left over from our FB party yesterday to last at least a week! Yuk..I like chili but I don't like to OD on it. Have a good day....

Do you guys mind that I invited Debbie? I haven't heard anything. I thought it would be a good time for us to ask questions to someone who has the personal experience and the psychological expertise. I don't want to step on anyones toes.

I'm so sorry you have MS. MY Dad had it and I know how painful it was for him..(((hugs))) I had the surgery on 9/26 so only 3 months ago. I feel so much better physically. The mental stuff is the harder stuff, thats for sure. But with Faith, and support it can be done. It is not always easy, but when you begin to feel physically better it sure helps! Good luck to you

Sherry, Welcome to LBT. We have a great group of people here. I also want to thank you and your husband for what you both sacrifice for us. I applaud both of you. When he comes home please give him a hug from me. I'm so glad that you found Dr.G As you can tell Kathy is very happy and comfortable with him. In the mean time have you found a nutritionist? Our minister talk today about leaving behind the past. We all mess up, thats human nature. Look at today as a new begining. Be proud of yourself for reaching out. We are here to support you. Take a deep breath, ask the Lord to help you and take the steps that you need to take to help you.
