Thank goodness the scale move a tiny bit! :mad: I have been faithfully doing this stair thing and I think that in a few weeks I will be able to see results. I didn't do any other exercises last night though. I was just tired. My DH didn't get home until later and we were playing with the baby, so I just didn't feel like it. I know, excuses, excuses. At least I have been eating better. I am really trying to stay low carb now. The low cal thing has never worked for me, and now if I can just follow the bandsters rules and eat protein, veggies and then fruit, I will be ok. I need to go and do my stairs, but I think I will wait until after lunch so I can do it without anyone seeing the fat girl almost die :0 ) hahahah Heather

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I took it easy for 24 hours and I am fine. Cold is almost gone too! I ate earlier last night and it really helped.

thanks everyone~

Well, today I fought the temptation to get on the scale! I have been working my ass off and I really hope when I get on the dang thing that it shows some results. I just feel like I am stuck, like I always get after 30-35lb weight loss and I wonder if I will ever be normal. I thought I needed a fill, but today at lunch I didn't eat much at all and had PLENTY of restriction. I guess it is because I am eating the right things... Hamburger Helper slips right thru my band so I am staying away from it! Well, today was day 4 of taking the 4 flights of stairs at work! Ugh, will it get easier? I just can not wait to put that pair of size 20 jeans on that I bought. I will know that I lost weight when I can fit into them!!! heather

Hey Diane, I have seen your pictures and I really don't think that even when you get to your goal weight you will have that problem. There is a lady at work here that had the Gastric Bypass and everyone says that she looks older and wrinkly, but maybe in a year it will even out. Maybe since we are losing it slower it will not get too bad!

Hi and welcome to LBT. You have no fill that equals no restriction. You won't feel restriction until you get your first fill! Good Luck!!!!

Hi Neciee00! You have chosen a great Dr. If you have any questions or need any help, let me know. I had my surgery on November 9th of 05 with Dr. Spivak. Here's to a new life!!!

Oh Lisa!!! You sounded likeI did Monday! You will pull through! Don't you just hate how easy the pounds can creep on and how HARD it is to make them go away!!! I was down to 291~ then up to 296, I have been working and am back to 294~ but it is just killing me. I wish that no one except skinny bitches had to worry about weight!!!

Bread is the DEVIL for me!!! Certain things for certain people. Bread seems to clump up even in the smallest bites and doesn't want to work for me!

Are you eating just to eat, or are you eating because you are hungry?

Well said Donali!

I could eat almost a whole bag of Captain Crunch at one sitting... I used to do it all of the time! Haven't even tried that now, Thank God!

I have had almost the same thing happen to me without the blood. MY #1 rule is DO NOT DRINK anything to "help" it go down... that is probably why you started vomitting! That is what happened to me. Give your poor esophagus a break and sip, sip, sip on liquids for 24 hours. You have most likely really irritated your throat and you need to let it rest. Please do this and let us know how you are. Sip on some sugar free hot cocoa or hot tea. And drink some broth and Protein drinks for supper. I hope you feel better and I hope this never happens to you again!!!!

DeLarla!!! That sounds AWESOME!!! I am PROMISING you a prize when you get to your goal !!!! You make sure that you scream and shout it to us!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Crystal!!! Wow, you are doing just awesome with your weight loss!!!

Hi Dayna! What kind of problems are you having? There is a lot of help here.

seems to be working fine now.

I am so glad there is an oppurtunity for journals here. I was taking up thread space to report to myself.

I am a lot better today. I am taking it easy and not over doing it. Thanks for your concerns and support!

So weird... my computer here at work isn't working properly either!!

Way to go LadySplenda! Keep up the awesome work!!

I have been shopping at Lane Bryant for 10 plus years! I am just curious when I will be able to go into Dillards or JC Penny or Old Navy or the Gap for normal clothes??? What size do they go up to in normal stores?(even if it is a plus size) Thanks!!!!
