Do not feel guilty! It will get you nowhere. Just remember the pain you were in that night, the next time you want to jump off the wagon. I had a nice slice of chocolate cake at my niece's bday party and I don't feel guilty at all! I haven't had sweets in months. It was not as large as I would have had pre-band, but it was yummy and I savored every bite. No biggie! You will survive!

You are going to do just great!

Kathy, let me know what Spivak says!!!! I hope you are doing good.

If you are comfortable with it, you should tell us some more about you? Like how much weight you need to lose and all that good stuff! :cool: We love details!

WE would love to see some before and after pictures! Your weightloss is just awesome! Welcome to this wonderful world we call LBT!!!

Kellie!!! I am SO Happy for you!!!! That is just SO awesome!!! I am SO GLAD you found your mojo!!! And I bet your info will really help others that don't know what is going on! BOB's are AWESOME. I don't have one that works right now... hubby and I wore them all out... :cool: I need to get with Lisa on that! SO HAPPY for you KELLIE!!!

If I can do Slim in 6, anyone can. You do it at your own pace and it is really great. I will tell you in 5 more weeks if I kept it up tho!

:) Thank you, thank you! I will be getting lots tonight... can't wait!!!!

Those are too cute!

Yeah, DAWG! You are smokin hot!

Hey Diane, check your signature.... there may be extra spaces in it... I am currently doing a workout video... It is called Slim in 6. Check out their website. www.beachbody.com You can probably find a cheaper set on ebay like I did. It is kicking my ass, but it is a GREAT workout. I am losing inches like crazy. I do it after my baby goes to bed in the evenings.

Step away from the kitchen... seriously, I do not go in the kitchen after supper... I also have NOTHING in my house that I can snack on! Good Luck, that is a hard battle.

--Are you self pay, partial insurance covereage, or full/most insurance covered? Full insurance coverage --How long have you been banded? (in number of months) 3 months --What is your AVERAGE weight loss since banding? (total weight loss divided by number of months banded) 14.3 lbs per month --Have you had any complications? If so, what? NOPE --Have you had your band removed? NOPE --What country was your band placed in? USA --What is your age? (I know...touchy. LOL But it does go along with the question.) 24

It sounds to me like you are not chewing well enough also. I know it is a pain, but try

You are not alone... I am sure this thought has crossed all of our minds at one time or another. I am finally believing in myself where I know this will work and it will happen!!! You can do it!

I did the same thing... you can make yourself go crazy sometimes with all these posts!

So FUNNY that you said that about the clothes hangar!!! I was just talking to a friend of mine about that at lunch!

Hey Paul, Do you think you could come and cook supper for me tonight?

Oh, How could I forget about the towel rack. My husband ALWAYS has something hanging off that thing!!! I have just come to the conclusion that men are obsessed with their equipment... (me too)

Illude~ You had better stick around girl!! That is just amazing that you have lost all that weight in 2 years!!! You are so pretty!!!

Diana, You must take everything you read here with a grain of salt. There are some horrible things that have happened to some, but it doesn't mean it will happen to everyone. I was the same as you before I had it done. I read some of the posts and thought what in the world am I doing? One quick call to Dr. Spivak's office and my mind was at ease. THat is a great idea to write down all of your questions, let the Dr. ease your mind.

I have a fill on the 23rd... I am hoping that will help with getting me down to 275 by Toby Keith. Yeah right about it being cold! It is ALWAYS balmy and humid and icky when I go!!! I WISH it would be cold too. Maybe with all the strange weather it will be cold! Well, you better keep me posted on if you get into some ROCKIES!

Girl, you sound just like me!!! I want to fit into my size 18 rockies SO bad, but I don't know if that is going to happen! We are going to see Toby Keith! LOVE HIM! I have been doing an exercise program called Slim in 6, and walking 2.5 miles a day so I can look hot!!

With all of the complications we hear about I would pay $25K in a heartbeat to ensure I would be taken care of for the rest of my life with my band!!!

That is just awesom Margo!!! Keep up the GREAT work.
