    I know it had to be Divine Intervention for me because nothing else has worked and I was led to this right after my son-in-law passed away. I have had a few struggles in the past few months with some plateauing but some my fault too. I am so happy I had this surgery!!

    Yes that is exactly what is happening to me. I have not had a fill yet. I go next Monday and I am thinking I might get a fill this time. I think I have only lost about 5 pounds this time. Looking forward to going to the doc and getting weighed on the 9th. I will let you know.

    Thanks Kan I am learning to be patient. In the past, it has not been my best virtue either. I am not allowing myself to get frustrated or upset with this slow weight loss lately. I think I am ready for my first fill here. I will see the doc on the 9th.

    I was banded on Jan. 15, 2008 and have not had a fill yet. Doc says I don't need one yet. I am down 42 pounds so far. I am pretty darn happy!!! I am sticking under 1000 calories a day and making sure I get all my food groups in. I eat off a small salad plate to control my portions. I drink at least 40 ounces of Water a day and then maybe a crystal lite too. I always have Snacks of pretzels or a healthy choice ice cream and if I go to a birthday party I will eat a small piece of cake. I am establishing a new way of living the rest of my life so I don't want to feel like I am on a "diet". The lap band has been a wonderful tool for me in assisting my weight loss but it is up to me to make the right choices. Hope everyone is doing great and have a nice weekend

    Linda, funny you should post that. I have signed up to run a 5k and I just finished my 3.2 miles on the treadmill. I am fixing to eat some edamame, and my scales said 198.0 this morning. I am celebrating a little differently this time!! BTW, this may be TMI, but I feel so attractive today...maybe even sexy. LOL DH is giving me "the look" again. Our 13th anniversary is Monday. I dare say it will be the best one in several years.

    Renewed that is great news!!! I am also a pretty darn happy camper this morning! I woke up and weighed in at 199.4!!!!!!!!! The first time in 15 years I have been under 200! I couldn't wait to finally post on here!

    Apples sometimes people are so involved in their own misery they cannot share in the joy of others. Give her time and maybe she will join you for a banding. I have a friend that just told me she is going on a diet because no way can I weigh less than her now. So now it is a competition ugh!!! Whatever you have to do stay focused on you and hopefully your friend will snap out of it and get ambition to take care of herself and get her diabetes under control with weight loss. You are doing great!!!
