And a new body to boot, I'm so jealous!! Feel free to email me pics & I'll post 'em: Janet at MikeyCunningham dot com (I'm spelling it out so spiders can't grab it -- supposedly that works, lol). Stacey, sweet pics!! You are gorgeous!!!!!! And you look like you've never ever been overweight, that's so cool! What's your secret? Wow, Northernsun, 92 pounds in a year? Congratulations!! That's so awesome!!!!! Congrats on the exercising as well, that'll make a huge difference, I'm sure! Tracy, good luck on your band journey, how exciting for you!!! Keep reading, it helps so much! Welcome, Tann!! We'd love to have you in our group! We have a couple of others from March, heh. Wow, 138 pounds & you're not at a year yet? You're rocking!!! Keep up the great work! Hey Cozzie! So glad you're still on LBT! 5 pounds to goal, that's terrific!! Congrats on a job well done!!!! So glad you've had a good journey! Now to go update the numbers... hopefully I don't miss anyone! :Banane43: (( Hugs to all!! )) Thanks for posting! Janet

Woot! I'm so excited! Hopefully we can drag some more folks out with us!

Wow!! I just caught up with the pages & pages I'd missed out on! You guys are amazing!!!! So much progress! I'm embarrassed to start posting again, lol, but I really need to. I started a "yearly check in thread" for us Febsters, feel free to pop in & say hi! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/feb-2006-bandsters-t29851.html?p=394417#post394417 (( Hugs!! )) Janet

Finally finished my pics... and worried that this thread is gonna be just me, lol. Where'd you all go? I came across Sunta's pics in the picture thread, you look amazing!! *sigh* Hopefully everyone's just out for the weekend.

Mikey & I will be at Pappas Bar-B-Q off NW Highway & I-35 in Dallas at 4pm on Sat, Feb 24. We'd love to see you there! If you're planning on going, please post. If we get too many, we'll warn the restaurant. (If you don't post, feel free to still come. It's a pretty relaxed restaurant, a big crowd shouldn't scare them!) Who: Any friendly banded or unbanded folks in the DFW area Date: Saturday, Feb 24 Time: 4:00 PM Place: Pappas Bar-B-Q (http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/#maxp=search&q1=2231+West+Northwest+Hwy.+Dallas%2C +TX) List so far: 2 Mikey & Janet 2 Divanita (& Courtney maybe?) 2 MyKidsDad & MsJoy 2 DonnaB & Mike 1 ThickChick (love the name! ) 1 StrawartS (it's a palindrome!) Hope to see you there!! Janet

Absolutely, Randy, lunch is a must!! I'll start a thread in the Texas forum. Glad you're still around here! I'm really wondering if my plateau is more mental then anything. I think that I'm uncomfortable losing beyond 250. I'm not really happy at 250, but I can stand it: I have sufficient clothes, I stalled here a while on the way up, I still have enough fat to "protect" myself while not having so much that I can't turn over in bed. And to be honest, as soon as people started noticing I was losing, I stopped. Sad, but true. So I'm trying to find counseling that is both cheap AND useful. And hopefully come to terms with myself so that I can let myself move on. Thanks for posting & give Ms Joy a hug for me! Hope to see you both soon!

Ok, I'll go. First, I'm sorry I disappeared!! I'm afraid I fell off the face of the earth. I got really, really depressed & cut myself off from everyone. Literally. Friends, family, job, church, the works. I'm just now beginning to pull myself out of the pit. It's been bad. I wouldn't say the depression was band related, though the changes from the band really didn't help, heh. I strongly dislike change! I think I'm still in mourning for my old way of life, even though I'm enjoying the changes the band has brought. Dunno, definitely a work in progress! I'm frustrated with my results. Starting at surgery weight, I've lost 44 pounds in the past year. Granted, that's amazing for the old Janet. I've NEVER lost 44 pounds & kept them off for more than a week! Actually, I've never lost more then 40 pounds! But I really was hoping for better. *Shrug* I trucked on down to 250-ish & just stopped. I've been right around 250 since Sept. Never below it, mind you, lol. My restriction is fine, not sure how much I have anymore (lost track). I can eat anything & everything, but have to do it VERY slowly & carefully. Some days I don't eat much, some days I can eat the world. I get really restricted around that time of the month, hate that! So, for my list: Weight loss so far: 44 pounds Inches lost so far: 53 inches Are you at goal? Not even halfway. How much further? *sigh* 110 pounds (Around that, not sure what my goal is.) Favorite NSVs: I can wear my wedding ring again. I put on size 18 pants the other day. (Couldn't close them, but got 'em over my hips!!) Would you do it again? Yes, in a heartbeat. Overall the changes have been good. I'm not happy with where I am, but I'm definitely not gaining, which I was before the surgery! High point: The beginning (honeymoon). I loved the hope. Low point: Probably my 1 year appointment. I really thought I'd finally broken 250, but I hadn't. Oh well. Before & "during" pics: I'm still working on sizing them, but here's my scar pics. It was hard to find the scars! Didn't realize how much they had faded. One NSV, I guess, lol, it seems my boobs are further away from the scars then they used to be, the port scar is now above my underwear line, and I have a waist now, woohoo! I've missed you all! Hopefully some of you are still on LBT & can forgive me for disappearing! Hope you're all doing awesome & getting all the success you deserve!! ((( Hugs all around!! ))) Janet

Hey guys! The prodigal has returned! Or at least is putting in a short appearance. I'm posting more in the new Feb 2006 thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/feb-2006-bandsters-t29851.html?t=29851 -- you can catch up with my current antics there. Mostly I wanted to post here 'cuz I miss ya'll! How's everyone doing? Wanna have lunch? It's been forever!!! (( Hugs!! )) Janet

Last update to the list's numbers: 2/20/06 Woohooo, it's been a year! (Or close to it, lol.) I figure it's about time for updates. Here's the last list I had (I added a couple of folks from the other thread that posted after I disappeared). I'd love to hear from ya'll -- anything you'd like to tell us. Some ideas: Weight loss so far Inches lost so far Are you at goal? How much further? Favorite NSVs Would you do it again? High point / low point Before & after pics (I know there's another thread for this, but we're special. ) Ok, I guess I'll play secretary. Post your day of surgery, surgeon's name & location (if you want), and any weight loss so far & I'll add you to the list. I've seen it done for other months, can't let 'em show us up! :paranoid Some of January's & March's bandsters are joining us as well -- the more the merrier! Feel free to add your stats! Our surgeries are close enough that we're dealing with the same stuff. As you have more weight lost, post it & I'll update. Inches too, if you'd like. And when you have fills, if you want to share that, please feel free. If at all possible, put the size of your band too (it helps for comparison). That way we can track how others on the January / February / March timeline are doing. Thanks guys! DISCLAIMER 3/8/06: We're adding in pre-op losses separately. If I didn't have yours, I put (? pre-op). If I got your numbers from your signature, I used your highest recorded weight. So if I'm not correct & it matters to you, please post with the correct numbers. Edit 4/21: I updated weights based on signatures where I could. Some still haven't checked in, so they show little to no weight loss. Can't help it! Edit 6/2: Updating everyone's numbers from recent posts and/or signatures. "No update" signifies that I couldn't find new numbers for someone. I'm not taking them off the list, but it does slant the numbers somewhat. NOTE: The red numbers are overall... I didn't subtract out the pre-op number -- though some people did on their own. Yeah, it's confusing... sorry! I should have done pre-op from the get go. 1 kg = 2.205 pounds (Note to myself, for converting Magic's numbers!) Thanks!

Congrats on your surgery & welcome to bandland! :girl_hug: Watch the Texas forum, we have lunches every month on the 3rd Sat... and we join the DFW Bandsters (a Yahoo group) for meals at other times during the month. We're glad you're here!

Wow Becky, great weight loss! I'm with you on not feeling the fill. I've been able to eat everything I've tried so far. I felt my new fill for about 2 days... and then it went away again, heh. Guess I haven't found the sweet spot yet! Though I sorta like being able to eat everything, so I'm not sure I want more fill! :rose: Michele, you poor thing! I'm so sorry you're too tight! I think you're doing the right stuff. The main thing is to try to stay hydrated, so tons of broth & hot tea, I've heard that hot stuff stretches the band a little. If you do try to eat something, see if you can get soup down. Hopefully the mushiness + the hotness will make it through the silicon fist around your stomach. Hang in there! Just 1 more day to go! I hope your doc can see you! And oh my word, look at your weight! Less then 30 pounds to goal, congrats!! I updated both Becky & Michele's numbers on the front page. Thanks for the updates, guys! :girl_hug:

Bump!! We'll be at the Plano dinner, would love to see some of ya'll there!

Congrats to DCMoore for winning the May challenge!! She's the only one that kept up with the points... for 2 weeks! Yeah, so I went overboard with the score cards (note to self: don't do that again!). Diane not only won the challenge, but got her weight under 250 & her BMI under 40!! Way to go Diane!!

I'm giving up keeping up with everything, at least for today. Welcome to all the new members! I think I even saw a male type!! Woohoo! I just updated the front page based on recent posts and/or your signatures. I added a chart at the bottom for our average pounds lost per week. If you get the chance, please check that I have your current values. If I don't, feel free to post them or send me a PM. Thanks! Love ya'll! Sorry I've been MIA... I've been mostly avoiding LBT. The flame wars made it a not happy place for me. I'm trying to decrease my BP, lol, not raise it! Mikey & I got fills on Tuesday. We're finally feeling them, at least a bit. We've definitely slowed down. I seem to HAVE to wait 45-60 seconds between bites now, or pay the price. Everyone sounds like they're getting some restriction! How are those fills doing? Anyone contemplating an unfill? Hope you're all controlling the speed & not PBing! Oh, and congrats to our first time fill folks!! Glad you overcame your fears & did it! That's an NSV right there!! Everyone have a lovely weekend! (( Hugs!! ))

Wow Vines!! I just read this entire thread, what a story!! Mikey said, "You mean I'm not the biggest?" LOL! Men! I totally understand where you're coming from... the quality of life that changes as our men lose is amazing! 30 pounds has made a difference for me & my Mike, can't wait to see what 100 or so will do! Tell Mike congrats!!

Answering honestly, how many have sent this post to a mod as a troubled post? They may not read it & may not realize that it blew up in the last hour. It was fine & dandy for quite a while, give them time to react. And please remember that they don't live on here, this is not something they get paid to do... it may be hours before they do something. They may have hoops to jump through that we don't see. It took them 24 hours to do something about the other threads. Give it time. Please move along & let the post drop. If you don't respond, it goes away VERY quickly.

Welcome to LBT, bandedmama! There's actually several here that are in your shoes -- banded, but unfilled. In fact, let me see if I can find the latest thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=18499 While I can't understand what you're going through, I can offer sympathy & a willing ear. Hang in there! Be gentle with yourself!! We're glad you're here! Vent away!! (( Hugs!! )) Janet

Now I'm officially jealous of Michelle! Pool, tan & all! :eek: My orange streaks are fading... so I'm off to try something else. I think maybe I just bought too dark a color. I'm going to try a "fair skinned" product this time (I went for medium, lol, in my dreams!)

LOL, awesome post, DonnaB! I'm loving the purple font... yeah, it really does match your coat! :eek: Sorry for the evil flame war you got into. I managed to keep myself away from it, but I think it's safe to say that all members involved on both sides got angry & hurt. I was hurting for everyone while I was ducking! I'm so sorry to hear about your egg incident! It sounds soooo painful! Are you doing better now? And when did you reschedule for? Remember to be gentle & go slowly as you get back to food! Scary stuff! And it sounds like you've got a great doc who believes in follow-up! Keep in touch & let us know how the recovery progresses! (( Hugs!! ))

(( Michelle!! )) Your words always make me smile, thanks! :eek: Julie! I was re-reading stuff & realized I'd missed your post! Sorry about that!! **blush** Your first fill, awesome!!! Congrats!! Party time! Especially with only 2 days of liquids! That's terrific! Are you feeling it at all? Of course with liquids, you might not, but you just might! I heard a rumor that another poster here had a fill Monday, wonder how she's doing?? Oh purple lady? You out there? How'd that fill go? Or did you reschedule? Need me to go with? I will, you know! I've been fighting my fill lately... back to my old tricks of not waiting between bites. I pay for it everytime, don't know why I'm letting myself slide. AUGH!! Back to the basics, back to the basics, back to the basics... *walks off chanting to herself*.

Heh, Donna's our camera shy member, though we caught her in the group pic! :eek: I love going back to the old pics & watching us change! When you making a road trip to DFW, Paula? We'll have a special dinner on whatever day you come! :hungry:

Awww Stacey, you sound like me! I spent the last weekend making every poor choice I could. I even owned up to Mikey that I was making bad choices & that I didn't care. What??? When did I stop caring? **sigh** I tried tanning lotion, but not successfully, I'm afraid, lol. Talk about orange streaks! I want to go to a tanning shop, but the money isn't there right now, so I think I'll just head outside & tan the old fashioned way. Thanks for the warning, though, I'll be sure to put sunscreen on my port scar! Wow Pat, 2500 mg of Biotin? Ok, so now I'm thinking I'm not getting enough! Thanks for the numbers! Tammy, LOL with you about the tanning bed creaking! I started only doing the stand-up beds for that very reason. Well, the creaking & the fact that I hung out on both sides, lol. Made for some weird tan lines! Even the stand-up ones I had to squeeze into & pray that my fat actually touching the light bulbs on the sides wouldn't hurt anything, lol. The things I do to be tan! Oh my goodness, Tammy! I SOOO hear you on the fear thing! I haven't been diagnosed with anything, but mostly because I'm too afraid to go to a doctor! I personally feel that the fear keeps me from changing things to avoid my fears, if that makes any sense. I get so afraid of so many things that I find myself just frozen, sitting & rocking in a corner, sucking my thumb, more or less. I'm so sorry for everything you've gone through, from day 1! No one should have to witness so much loss! How is the salesman from work doing? Did he pull through the attack? I hope so! I've been known to secretly & not-so-secretly wish for an early ending. I do believe I was eating myself into an early grave. It didn't start out that way, originally I was just medicating the pain with carbs. That lovely comatose carb-stuffed feeling that now scares me & sickens me a bit (but I secretly still miss). But eventually the stuffing had to get bigger because the feeling wasn't lasting as long & life was impinging on me & scaring me again. Wow, I really am an addict! I do NOT think you're crazy! I think that our bodies are incredible. Yours had unbelievable stressors put on it & you managed to find ways to deal with that stress while still living a successful life, being married & having kids. Wow! Isn't that amazing! Having the band is really bringing issues to the surface for me. I'm angry about a lot of it. But I think it's good that I'm finally dealing with stuff. I'm praying that you can find answers to the questions you're asking yourself this week! Know that we're here for you & that we love you & that you are a survivor! You WILL triumph! ** Religion alert!! If easily offended by gushing, please skip this paragraph! :thumbs_up: (I know Tammy shares my views, so I can say all this. ) ** And when you doubt, take it all away... everything you've done & are. Bottom line. Beneath everything: your job, your friends, your family, your husband. Beneath it all. God made YOU!! He loves you as his creation. Nothing else you do or don't do matters. He loves you!! You are worth everything in his eyes! As Mikey says, "Something is worth what is paid for it." He paid for you with his son's life. Wow. Really think about that! Feel his arms around you, picking you up & hugging you like you hug your children. Know that no matter what the road ahead brings, he's walking with you, holding your hand. And he's waiting at the end, ready to hug you in person & tell you how much he loves you & just how proud of you he is! (( Tammy!! )) Love you girl! (More on my mental struggles in my blog, if you're lacking for reading material: http://yylc.us/Janet )

Ouch, Michelle! Three times in one night... and in a restaurant to boot? That's awful! Glad you got through it! And hope it stays FAR away!! Hope your week is super duper short! Happy Monday everyone!

You & your daughter are GORGEOUS!! I'm so glad you drug her along!
