Hi Shelley,

Thanks for all your kind words. You will be able to do those before and after pics soon! You'll love your band as I do mine.

It's springtime here now - tulips, daffodils and crocus blooming like crazy! Sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner... I've been busy in the gardens weeding! I can't get enough of them... now that I can bend and squat to do it! Crazy, isn't it? LOL

See you in chat soon!

Hi Meekie!

Yes, I'm still in Germany. We really do love it here. How is your weight loss going? I hope all is well with you. Stay in touch.

Katja

Thanks for your nice comment on my pic! I have 7.4 in a 10 band. It took 5 fills before I had really good restriction, but my doc was very conservative about each amount. I started in size 32 and am now finding 18's are getting loose. Don't worry, you'll get there too! Work with the band and it's great!!!

I just looked at your new pics...FANTASTIC! Keep up the great work - you're going to be at goal in now time now!

Thanks for the photo remark. I loved Brisbane and can't wait to visit again! Maybe we can meet!

Just looked at your newest pics... you are doing fantastic! Keep up the great work!

Hallo Schwesterlein!

I'm doing well. Had my tummy tuck 2 Sept. the op went well, but got complications with the incisions healing. Another few weeks and I'll be good as new.

Glad to hear you got your date! You'll be looking hot just in time for bikini season! lol

See you in chat soon!

Mrs.,

Your pics look terrific! Keep up the great work. I bet hubby was shocked when he first saw you. He must be so proud of you! Tell me all the details when we get together in the chat room again.

CONGRATS!

Katja

Hey!

Thanks for thinking of me. The tt went wonderfully! It will be a while before all the swelling goes down and we see the final results, but I am very happy already.

See you in chat soon!

Cutie,

Thanks for you well wishes on my tt. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow and i feel a lot better than I thought I would. Everything seems to be going better than expected.

Hope to catch up with you again in chat soon!

Katja

Hey Ray,

I miss me mate in the chat room....

Hope to chat with you again soon!

Katja

Hey Mana!

I just looked at your album. WOW, my friend. You have done FANTASTIC!

See you in the chat room. Love chatting with you!

Katja

Moon, I just saw your new haircut. Fabs! You gotta put that pic up as you're new avitar! It's really pretty - just as you you, my friend!

See you in the chat soon!

Maggie,

So sorry to hear about you latest set-back. But, if you think about it, it might just have been the best thing to happen. Left undiagnosed, you could have had big problems further down the road...

Keep in touch and let me know how things are going. I'm sure we'll see each other in the chat room soon!

Katja

Yes, it worked, Neeley. Glad to be friends with you!

:biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2:

Moon, just read your blog again. Nice job. As for not eating too good... - you said "if i can't control it now, how will i be able to with the band?" Well, it will be easier with the band. That's part of it's job, to help curb and control hunger. Don't get discouraged! You're doing great now, relearning how to eat properly. It takes time. All the bad habits didn't come overnight! Patience my dear. If i can do it, you can too!
