dee, glad you are doing well. i feel bad i didnt get to see you at bgh but i ended up not taking my sister and so i couldnt make it. val

i was feeling the same way you were and that is what really pushed me into having the lap band. i was just tired of it all. i do not miss eating. sometimes i think i want this or that and i will sometimes have a little piece but that little bit satisfies me. if you would have told me that prior to having surgery i would not have believed it val

oh no Judy- not a good day

i wish i could go to the meeting but im going to shea's that night

well im back from vegas and as i thought i didnt do too much running there. so i am going to repeat week #1. i will start tomorrow. i am so glad to hear how well everyone else is doing

dee, i will be at bgh tomorrow evening with my sister, if u send me your last name i would stop up and see u if u would like val

thats a good question? how much are you eating at each meal? are you drinking when u eat? plus exercise is a must

yes- same thing happened and when i went to see him he gave me a fill

judy, we can meet at 6pm but donna prob wont get there until 6:30 pm. just got back from vegas this morning. brrrr! it was 105 in vegas. and im not rich val

linda, i am freezing all the time. i always was warm before bending. i never wore a jacket and now i always do

great job china!

well it is getting to be that time again. i will be walking on saturday, who else will be there?

i am going to start tomorrow but will stay on week 1 for a couple weks as i am going to las vegas next week and dont know how much running time i can get it. so i will repeat week 1 when i return

the pain was not bad at all- i used the pain med only for a couple days and then used tylenol

no i didnt see it- sorry i missed it

good for you Jen. i didnt notice my fill for about a week- im okay as long as i dont eat too much, which i have learned to do so im not vomiting

jen, i cant imagine getting a 3cc fill. my first fill was 1.5 cc and i didnt feel the restriction for 1 week and at first i had a lot of vomiting until i learned how much i could eat and i didnt want them to take any out

i agree bloom- i checked out both buffalo general and sisters and i feel bgh has the better program

judy, i think taking them together inactivates the calcium- you are supposed to space them apart

bloom, i lost 13 lbs the first week. i did very well- lost 24 lbs in the first 6 weeks val

dear nbflo i find walmart has the best prices unless you have a bj's card. the protein powder i found the vitamin shoppe at eastern hills has a good price too

china, did you try having it done at kenmore mercy- never heard that they couldnt find a vein- think about it val

welcome buckets!

linda, everyone is different. i have no problems with beef or chicken- but bread, bagels and pizza are no no's for me. if i eat slow and the right amt i have no problems. i am so very glad i had it done and have no regrets at all val

i was on vacation china, but now i am back val
