  1. I'm here! I am testing into my roller derby league tonight... wish me luck!
  2. Thanks everyone!! I called Marilyn this morning and made an appointment for a small unfill. I am finding myself eating easy-to-eat foods which are not good for me when I would rather have a salad and some chicken or steak that is good for me but I find very difficult to eat. I am going in next Thursday morning for that. Yay!
  3. My hubby got the pukey flu and I immediatley called my doc for a script for phenegran... no puking for this girl!
  4. The meetings are actually in his waiting room at his office. They are on the second (I think?) Tuesday of the month and are run by his daughter who is a psychologist. She will email you monthly reminders for the meetings and they are totally optional. Thanks!! It's so nice to hear things like that!
  5. Here's a goofy new pic. I can't believe how good my legs look! Skating 6 hours a week has paid off!
  6. "I'm not fat, I'm just big-boned!" "BEEFCAKE!" "I'm so buff I can't fit through the door." I think it was the Weight Gain 4000 episode. OMG.... I cried I was laughing so hard.
  7. My weight loss has been strange. I was down 45 pounds by July 4th and then we discovered I had a leak in my tubing and I didn't have that replaced until November (my choice). Since I had my port/tubing replaced I have lost about 40 pounds (I put some back on while waiting for surgery, I had NO restriction). I haven't lost ANY weight in about 4 weeks now. My excercise has increased tremendously lately and I think my body is just in shock. I have dropped a size though and have gone from a tight 22 to a 14. When were you banded Rhonda? How many fills have you had?
  8. I was banded almost 11 months ago.
  9. Thanks Sunnysea!! I actually wore shorts yesterday and wasn't self conscious(sp?) of my rolly polly legs. I'll try and post a pic!
  10. I live pretty close to Denver, you?
  11. Looks like I am probably not going to make the April support group meeting. It is the first Tuesday, right? I am still doing physical therapy for my knee and Tuesdays are one of the days I do that. Maybe May?? LOL Just in time for my 1 year bandiversary! :clap2:
  12. Denver International Airport is where you will fly into (DIA).
  13. I just buy what fits and don't worry too much what the tag says.
  14. The scale in the office weighs me about 5 pounds heavier than my scale at home. I go to the office so infrequently anymore that I just go by my scale. Congrats to all you peeps with surgery dates!
  15. I had glue and internal sutures on all my small incisions and those were covered by tegaderm. My port insicion was sutured and steri-stripped and covered with tegaderm as well. I guess ALL OF THE ABOVE for me!
  16. I bought a Magic Bullet last year after hearing everyone rave about them. I honestly don't get the hype. It doesn't crush ice worth a darn and I tried to whip garlic butter and it wouldn't even do that. What a waste of 50 bucks!
  17. I went from a 10W to a 9M. I can wear much cuter shoes now!
  18. I'll start! First pic is the DREADED before pic... second I took just now in the bathroom here at work! (sorry the quality kind of sucks!)
  19. Hey all you Maysters.... let's all post updated pics before March is over! I wanna see your perty faces!!!
