I'm down for Vegas!!! I don't gamble but there sure is alot of fun to be had doin other stuff.....IE riding roller coasters and fitting in the seats!!!! That'll be exciting!!! :biggrin: -
had my second fill yesterday. I asked what size my band is and I too am a 10cc band. He said that I am now up to 5cc's in there. Hopefully this restriction will last longer! I've lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks, and I'm ok with that. Not thrilled but it's been a rough 2 weeks and I've not been eating and working out like I should. So back to workouts today and back to eating right! Hopefully by the next time I go in I'll have lost more!

Thanks Marie!

Glad to hear from ya!! Any news yet? I'm keepin everything crossed for ya! I'm doing good. Goin in for another fill next week, first one hasn't really worked, so Dr. M is givin me more. The eating is easy peasy for me. There's nothin I can't eat. Hopefully it changes after my fill, cuz I can eat way too much! My will power is fading quick!! Keep me posted on the appeal.
hugs

thought I'd come in and introduce myself!! My name is Jenn, married to Sean for almost 5 years (Nov. 29th) We have 2 babies, James is 3 and Sophie is 8.5 months. DH is in the Navy, has been in for 2 years. Doesn't like it at all though! He's not doin the job he signed up for, so he's not a happy camper! Although he does love the military and will undoubtedly re-enlist. I live with my in-laws right now, as DH is getting ready to leave on a deployment. We are in a pretty small ward, and very few young families here, but oh well right?! What can ya do??? Nice to "meet" all of ya!

i hope everything went well for you!!

cool thanks for the link!!

Before kids hubby and I would always play spiritual games. We played "life". DH created a Life like board, but it had spiritual things on it. Such as when you have to get married he made it so that we had to share one thing about our wedding day. Then things like read such and such scripture. The ones where you were in "trouble" he put things like talk to your bishop, or you need to go pray and ask for forgiveness. I wish that we still had it now, because I'm sure the kids would like to play it. I'll have to look and see if I have any pictures of it.

hooray!!! congrats!!

I finally got one!!! I watched my craigslist like a hawk and finally someone was selling it for only $10 bucks more, so I was like ok I need to get that. I was the first person to email her about it, so thank heavens! So we've had it for 2 days now and LOVE it! It's awesome and def a good workout for me! The yoga stuff is pretty hard right now, as well as some of the balance games.

JenniLeen replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'd def have it done! I'm all about looking my best, and if I think boobies would help me look better than why not?! DH loves what I've got now, and since they are already shrinking I'm pretty sure I'll have to endure the pain to make us both happy! My mom and MIL had it done, and neither of them were in too much pain, so I'm not very scared about having that done. Now the TT, that I'm worried about. If i need it I'll have it. I dont need to look perfect but if there's too much there it's gonna have to go away! -
I use tampons and the instead cups. My MIL told me about the cups, and they are great, but I still am not 100% sure about using them at night. I love Playtex, thats what I used growing up, so thats what I'm used to! The only issue I've had with the cup is that I forget that it's there and then have to rush to the bathroom! eek! lol! i'd love to go have an iud put in or something. DH is deployed and we're pretty sure we're done having kids, but he hasn't gotten to spend more than 3 weeks with his daughter yet, so he wants to wait to get a Vas. just in case. ugh! :biggrin:

SOB!!! I have gone 18 months with no period (had a baby 8 months ago and nursed her until last month) but still. damnit! No one throw sticks at me, but I'm not having any cramping, but I never have. But it's been a week of this bs and having to go every 45 mins to change. It sucks! I can't cry too much but wtf?! I've never had regular periods because I've always been overweight, but usually they lasted 2-3 days and wasn't too too heavy. Now it's like my body is trying to make up for lost time! One year I only had 2 periods, but it was nothing compared to this! freakin A if it doesn't stop soon I'm gonna pull my hair out! :biggrin:

Hey woman!! YAY!!! so happy you are mailin in that appeal! I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya! I'm doin very well. Down 24 pounds now. The weight loss hasn't been hard, its adjusting the amount I take in thats hard. Also, not eating because I feel bored. I seem to be so super busy now, but it's good. Keeps my brain off of food! My restriction is already starting to wear off though. Luckily Dr. Monash said I could come back 2 weeks after my first fill and get another, so lets hope that one's restriction will last longer! I still can't eat like I used to though, so thats a great thing!

Who wants to admit they don't exercise?
JenniLeen replied to want2beme's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I've started walking everynight except 1 night of the week. I know I need to do more, but for now tihs is a good start for me. I HATE exercise, loathe it really. But I do not want a whole ton of loose skin, so I'm doing it. It sucks, but eventually I'll get into a routine and enjoy the nice fresh air. Plus my babies love it. I know its hard to get out and do something, my husband is deployed so I don't have anyone to take care of my babies for me, so thats why I take them with me. Just make an effort, and start slow. You can do it! -
I know what you mean! I had a fill last week. I had one egg and half a piece of whole wheat toast for Breakfast, not a single problem. not the first time i've had bread either, ugh! now i have to dig deep and go at this another 2 weeks before I can get another fill. great great great =(! I haven't had any problems at all. It's scary, really scary! I'm still losing, so I'm doin something right!
