I use map quest, but always double check it with others. I have been lost several times from wrong directions from map quest. I used to be a delivery driver and am very map oriented. I hate being lost. I like paper maps also.

Patti...What a wonderful NSV. Off some of your meds. I have had another NSV.. I cried and still am tearing up some...some of you will understand this one others who haven't been as big might not.....but I was trying on old clothes this morning and a lot of the older ones fits me again...great, but a little while ago I decided to use the tape messure on my hips...It actually touched! No more guessing how many inches in between the ends. Is it 5" or 6". I didn't do my messurements when I had the surgery because of how much I had to guess. This is very emotional for me. Even though I see the scale moving and clothes fitting it just wasn't regeristering 100%. Now it is. I can look at pics and actually notice a difference! This is so awesome to me.. Sorry so long and rambling!

Morning all. I can't believe I actually slept till after 8:00. I haven't slept that late since I don't know when! My norm is between 4-5 a.m. I feel out of sorts. Like I am behind. I have my Gazelle back! Yay! I started using it last night. Long story short, Gazelle was DD's, she moved left it here. She traded it for my DS's because hers was smaller. DS didn't like this 1 cause it was to big for her place. She gave it to me. So it is home and I am using it again. Technically it wasn't mine, but for 2 yrs. I had used it on and off. More so after surgery. LJM...glad your feeling good. You don't get rest in the hospital. I think it is a rule! LOL Susan... good luck with the sweet 16 party. CC...love your pic. So far no binge eating with oldest DD and DGD living here. So that is good. I guess we haven't gotten on each others nerves yet. LOL Everyone have a good day.

I forgot about the I'm here to help thread. so here is the posting for it... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f260/im-here-help-64725/

I would go see your LB Dr. It could be a slipped band. I would go ASAP. Good luck to you.

Well this stinks. Anyone in N. Al. & Lower Tn. that was banded by Dr. Groves / Britt and gets their fills done in Madison.....Well I just got a call and they are no longer going to be doing fills in Madison. We have to go to one of their offices on Guntersville/ Albertville. I have an appointment at 8:00 am on the 21. Now I have to find the office in Guntersville for that one. I know his Albertville office. I hope I he will still be doing it under fluro.:laugh:

Cool Mac! enjoy it.:laugh:

Yes updated ticker first thing. Called my sister and bragged a little while ago. It feels good bragging to her. I am so close to 50 lbs lost. I really can't tell much of a difference at times. Then other times it is like Oh My Gosh! The pics at Christmas made me look fatter than when I first started 46 lbs ago. Income tax time I have to get some new over the shoulder boulder holders:smile:. Mine are getting to big. This time I will get professionally fitted. cups are really getting big. I don't want to lose anymore there. A "c" is a good size. But who knows if I get proper fit and hold....

Well yesterday was my last day of the 5 day p.t. Official weight loss this morning was 6 lbs. YAY!!!! I am so happy. I will definitely use this when I plateau. I think it would be great then.What a new year this is going to be. My goal is that I will be down 80-100 lbs. by bandiversary! Which is totally do-able. I made a NYs resolution years ago not to make any more NYs resolutions, but this yr. I am. I am going to exercise on a regular basis instead of haphazardly. How is everyone else doing? Great I hope.

Here is the 5 day pouch test. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/plan/day3.html It is kinda hard the first couple of days but well worth it. This will help jump start you back on the right track.

Good luck and keep us posted. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f178/starting-holiday-detox-early-anyone-wanna-join-me-84070/

The 4 I gained over the hollidays and 1 extra....yay me! I can really tell a difference in the feel of my stoma (sp) and on how much I eat. So whom ever else is doing this other than BBK good luck!

Beth, don't feel bad. I am having trouble with FB also.:frown: I have 1/2 of the right side missing on it. It has been like that from day 1. I can read part of the boxes but not all. It is like some one covered it with a peice of paper.
