I did the Real Age test that Paula posted a while back... And it said my real age was 17!!! Must be a mix up there!

Congrats!!! I love Spivak!!! I wouldn't go with anyone else. Best of luck and welcome to LBT!

You guys are a hoot!

Long time no see!!! 2 week break and only 2 lb gain is awesome!

Awesome dawg!! Thin, huh? Where are your before and after pics?

OH yes!!! That woman was BEAUTIFUL!!! I love Before and Afters of any kind!

I saw part of it and I was also shocked at how fatty the heart was! Bet mine looks like that .... or used to. I really eat a lot healthier now. It was interesting.

Why didn't you get your Dr. to prescribe you something that is in liquid form? That is what I do. I have to remind my Dr. to do that, but he does.

I am with Tricia on this one!

My goodness FunnyDuddies.... You are BEAUTIFUL!!! Love the hair and the GREAT skin!!! You are a KNOCK OUT!!!

I have never liked fish... That is ALL I ever want now that I am banded!!! I LOVE IT! I used to love Ranch dressing and now it tastes HORRIBLE to me. Same with REAL MAYO. I loved it... but those 2 things taste funny to me now. I was ADDICTED to Diet Coke. That was all I drank. Don't like it at all now, don't drink it at all.

That is SO great!!! Congrats to you!

Thanks guys... You all have some great encouraging words... like I knew you would. I was in a hurry when I posted yesterday and didn't mention that I have a friend that will be going with me... She is a size 8 though and thinks she is HUGE LOL some girls... We would be going at 5:00 in the morning and she said it probably won't be that crowded. THANKS again LBT buddies!!!

I... gulp, gulp, gulp... am SERIOUSLY considering... gulp, gulp, a gym.:omg: I just HATE the thought of people's thoughts about a big girl working out... I just know everyone there will be hot and lean and mean.... Yeah, I know stupid worries.... Where is dawg with the tuna? Tell me it will be ok.... Tell me what you think of this gym?

MWAH!! You're beautiful, Susan (inside and out). Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even yourself!! *smack* DITTO~

I didn't know GAP and POLO had size 20? Where do you get them?

ooooooohhhhh LOVE the avatar P'Nut!!!! YAY!!!

So sorry to hear that Susan. I will keep your mother in my prayers.

I can not eat one bite of any kind of french fry! (Thank goodness) That is the control I need. When I was first banded without proper restriction I could eat mashed potatoes or baked potatoes... NO MORE! Another great thing for me!

Way to go Jess!!!!

Great Thread! I hate it when DH waits until he is COMPLETELY out of his daily medicine, no refills left, and 10 minutes until the Dr.'s office closes. I hate it when people don't call you back when you leave them a message!

Hey P'Nut~ You lost 1/2 pound, right? You didn't gain any... and all that walking you are doing is surely building up some muscle. There is nothing measly about that!!! You know good and well that losing 1/2 pound is 1 millions times better than gaining anything. You are doing great!!!! *HUGS*

Like you said... talk to your Dr. about it tomorrow. Surely he/she will have some insight! Let us know!

Pam, sounds like you have a great attitude about it... Your body just might need more time to heal, and like you said your weightloss shows that something is working for you! Good Luck!

Great Post Kellie! I too think about this constantly. My success has scared me quite often... I am so worried that if I were to go to the store and put on a size 26 jeans (even though I am in a 16) that they wouldn't even zip up!!! Isn't that crazy? I know I will get jumped for saying this... but I REFUSE to be anywhere near where I was weight wise, mentality wise... I would rather starve to death than be that unhappy again. I would rather die than go back to that place. I know that sounds extreme, but when you are so overweight that your life has no meaning, you will understand. IF I ever lose my band, I will have it put back if possible and if not.... I will throw away all of my food :grouphug: and eat like a bird whether my stomach is growling or not! I know some of you can relate even though you may not like the way it sounds.
