The Cherry Creek Mall is very high end and is VERY safe all the time. They have security roaming around at all hours. What kind of shopping are you looking to do?? As far as the sun... wish I was the bearer of better news. We are supposed to get a foot of snow in the metro area tomorrow and another storm is coming through on Sunday. I am soooo freakin' sick of snow!!

Welcome! I had a friend in high school (American) that moved to Singapore with her family when her dad got transfered there with his job. Sounds like an amazing place! Good luck to you!

I know Kirsten. The Dr K bandwagon is growing fast! I went to the support group meeting last night and there were probably about 10 ladies there. A few more and they are going to have to relocate the meetings to somewhere bigger!

Welcome Jen and good luck tomorrow! Post soon and let us know how you are!

Yikes Kirsten!! For that price you could fly here and get a fill and have lunch with me! :hungry:

It's a date Dynamo!!!

One should wait until they feel ready.... or can't stand it anymore!! Just mind your port (it will be tender) and you will be fine!

Dynamo... I haven never had any trouble taking pills whole. The pills I take for my knee are HUGE and they go down just fine!

Congrats Mal and thanks for the kind words!! I have been inspired by some many here at LBT it's nice to know I can "pay it forward" a bit!

I think you should try sitting at the table and eating. I think you will notice a big difference in the ammount of food you are about to consume at a time. You are doing yourself a disservice by not letting your band work for you! Good luck! :confused:

I might just start voting for Sanjaya. The show has become a joke anyway.... why not watch it go down in flames??

Lookin' good Neal!

hey jabell! I also did Atkins as my pre-op diet. I stuck to the induction phase and took in no more than 20 carbs a day. I think I am going to make it to the support group meeting tonight. Anyone else????

Sounds like you are all getting so close to surgery day!!! I wanted to try and answer a few questions I have seen posted here... My day of surgery I wore a velour track suit that zipped and crocs. Sexy huh?? I found the drawstring waist to be comfy and the jacket was super easy to get into after I woke up. :notagree The before surgery suppository.... some do it, some don't. I didn't and didn't have any problems. I am so excited for all of you!! As I come up on my bandiversary I can remember the excitment and anticipation I felt before my big day. I wouldn't change it for the world! As of today I am down 75 pounds (6 away from onderland) and 35 away from my "goal" of 170. Holy crap!! :) :) :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

11 months already? Where did it go?? I am now down 75 pounds and only 35 to go! I was hoping to hit 100 gone by my bandiversary but with the complications I had with my leak I will gladly take 75! That means I only have 35 more to go till my "goal" of 170. Wooohoo! Happy (late) Easter my friends!

Sorry that I'm slacking... I've been sick. Off to make an April thread!

Welcome to bandland Trina!!! I am also in CO and was banded 11 months ago. Good luck to you and keep posting!

Thanks for asking Tater! I am doing good. Not losing anything but going down in sizes. Weird! I have an appointment for an unfill tomorrow morning but I think I am going to cancel it. My restriction has lessened up quite a bit the past few days and I am able to eat better for me foods. We will see how it goes. I was supposed to track all my food for 2 weeks and call Paula this week but I honestly haven't been tracking. Life got away from me I guess! For now I think I am just going to hang tough and keep on keepin' on and see what happens. I'm in no hurry! I MIGHT make it to the support group next week... anyone else??

Brit... Search LBT for Dr Kirshenbaum. He is in Denver, CO and his price is 9950.00 for self pay.

I am going in for a bit of an unfill on Thursday morning and I can't wait! My scale has not budged in 5 weeks now. I am now officially down to a size 14 now though! The last time I was a 14 I weighed about 170... now I'm 210ish. Isn't that weird??

I would be interested in a clothing exchange! I have sent a couple of boxes of clothes to fellow bandsters from LBT and would do do more. I know I am in serious need of some new threads but I seem to be going through them so fast I can't justify the cost. Everything I have bought for myself in the past few months has been on clearance! I still have a bucnh of stuff left that I have shrunk out of that I would love to pass on!

I'm thinking it will be Lethal N. Justice

I always called my back fat my "back boobs".

I HATE AI this season. It's a freakin' joke that Sanjay is still on.
