Craftlady77 got a reaction from Maddiee in Starting Over
Stephanie;
We are in t he same boat. I had my lap band a year ago May - lost 65 lbs - had some life interfere and the old habits started coming back - I want so badly to start over - not sure I know how - please keep in touch - maybe together we can do it. I have joined a wellness center with a pool and am trying to go every morning - I have so much arthritis (two knees, one hip, I am fused from T-10 all the way down) so the Water is so good in many ways - but it is also exercise - I'll be watching for you

Craftlady77 got a reaction from ChelleChi1969 in Hello!
Chelle:
I have about the same story as you - May 30th will be one year since my surgery - I lost 65 lbs. by September
Then family trauma and I started to gain - now I am back on track - Yes - I'm doing this for me - I have to remember
that this is just a tool - I must do the work - Good luck to you - and me too.

Craftlady77 got a reaction from Bandista in Fixated on the scale
When that happened to me my counselor suggested that I not worry about the scale but start measuring myself - sure enough I was loosing inches - start a graph for yourself and see if that isn't the case.

I've had my band a little over a year. I went and got a fill yesterday cause I was clearly eating to much. It's tight now and I have to chew really really good. I hope it isn't to tight. I hope I just need to chew better. When I chew really well it goes ok. My chest is kinda sore from me throwing up cause I didn't chew good enough. But I just got it yesterday and I can fill the tightness. Anyone else feel that?
Well here is my photos from a year!

Craftlady77 reacted to Magic Mojo in Tomorrows the big day! Who needs a buddy?
62 Year old woman at 39 BMI. It's now or never. Have worked, wished, planned and tried to be thin all my life. I decided to give this to myself now. I wish I had done this when I was 15 years younger, but I thought I could do it the old way. I just continued to gain. So after everything, I finally am giving this to myself. I feel blessed by great friends, family, a wonderful husband and a great church community. I am pretty darn healthy and my therapist and I decided now's the time, I am ready. I would really like to get to know one of you better and share all the ups and downs.
About myself: 5' 5"; 233; 62 years old; Married; 2 kids (27 and 23); I'm an Alto in our Unitarian Universalist Choir; I've always been a Democrat; I was a Dead Head; Graduated from UC Davis as a botanist in 1978; I grew up in Southern California; I was born on Halloween in Brazil; I will be at goal weight (=150) this time next year.
