Are you having a tt? You didn't say. I will tell you the truth when I had my TT I didn't wear panties unless I went some where and then I just picked out what I thought wouldn't rub, but I didn't have the bodysuit type I had the one that wraps around you and velcros.

Yes that's great! Hooray for you!!!!

That's a good idea, I also am not going to make the easter one but maybe I can do 20lbs by the end of july so I'll go with that.

Yes, that happens a lot. I really tossed it around because my insurance wouldn't pay for any weight loss surgery. I went to Mexico. But the sleeve was only $1500 more then the band. I just hope I made the right choice because I can't afford to do it again. knock on wood, so far so good.

Have you considered the sleeve? I hope you don't lose your band but if it were me that would be my next and only other choice.

No I never heard of it. let me know if it works.

Joyful. I agree you should check with you Doctor. But would also like to point out that most of the foods you listed are not band friendly for alot of us. I know that I have given most of those up. I really think you need to check out recomended band diets, It really might help you with the rest of your journey.

My advice Ignore him and do what is best for you. If he thinks you'll cheat just because you lose weight remind him fat girls cheat to.

I also take Ambien, I'm on the CR (time released) but I'm gonna go back to the reg. after I finish these. My insurance covers the reg. but won't cover the CR and it cost me $122 for 21 pills That's just insane.

Orea, sending you positive thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Just dropping by to fuss a little, Well maybe not fuss just whine I guess. I'm trying to quit smoking and man I'm grouchy, Does this horrible feeling go away? I know nic only stays in your system for about 72hrs so why is it still so terrible after that? I swear I can't even focus on antthing else. And I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat. Boy I hope this passes soon. Anyway thanks for letting me vent.

I bet your walking on air!!! And you deserve it. WTG It's AMAZING. CONGRATS!!!

I smoke, and didn't quit before surgery. The day after surgery I was standing outside the hospital smoking. Not a good thing but it was what it was. I'm trying to quit now but it's really hard. you know, trying not to put anything else in your mouth. I do wish I had quit before the surgery. I've had other surgery TT, BL, BA. and I had to quit before hand but always start back up. I'm not going to play it down. I really like my cigs I just don't like paying for them.

Bravo!!! Well said:thumbup:

OK, I found you Orea and found Donna on your friend list so I sent you both a friend request. And man Orea you have alot of friends on facebook. I have like 2. There is a couple of not so nice words on my wall hope it doesn't upset anyone. but I was a little depressed over the weekend but I've gotten past it.

OK, I'm a dummy and I can't figure out how to pm

I'm on facebook!

Orea, nice to hear from you again. praying the job search goes ya'lls way. Donna, way to go on getting those extra lbs off.

I wear one, it says Gastric Band Patient, No Blind NG, No Nsaids. The NG would be like pumping your stomach. Of coarse there is a real word for it but it has escaped my lips at the moment.

That's to funny!!! I was just glad to see mine could still do that after having surgery twice on the poor girls.

I wish I could say I lost this week but for right now I seem to be holding steady. I go back to my PS tomarrow and I think maybe she'll release me so I can go back to curves next week. I haven't worked out in about 8wks and I also know no excuses because my legs still work and I could have been walking. hope to get back into the swing after the weekend. I really want that little rabit to reach goal for the Easter challange being I didn't hit the Valentines goal. hope everyone else is losing a little better right now.

Yep, I know what you mean. I just had a fill on the 10th and went out for Valentines and ate fried oysters, only 3 and 2 fried shrimp. OOPS!! I know better but it was so so so good. I try to justify it by telling myself once in a blue moon it's ok to splurge but when it comes down to it I know I just could have gotten it broiled and I'm sure it would have been just as good. Still kicking myself in the butt. Girl scout cookies I'd be a gonner!!!!

I missed it by 4lbs, I'm thinking I might have made it but I gained 5lbs after surgery on 1/13/09 so it put me higher then when I started. I was a total of 7 down from the start weight today. But I'll join you in the easter challenge!!!!!
