gone 4 ever

Hello NY how are you doing? I am doing good. I have lost 11 lbs so far. Trying to gat over my old habits of head hunger and just 1 more bite/ sip. That is a hard one for me. Let me know how your doing?

OK I figured out how to do the freinds thing. I put a post on the one I had sent out looking for you. If you want go read it. Have a great night.

Hi Roseanne! How have you been doing? I have been doing pretty good for myself. I lose slow but that is fine. I love my band. Are you ready for Christmas? I have 1 more gift to get and I am done.

Have a wonderful and Merry Christmas.

hugs. Paula

Hi Paula. My name is also Paula. I have made freinds here. I love this site. My pics are on the pics page. I am not doing any more pics until I have lost between 50-75 lbs.

Thank you for your message, Good luck and message me back.

Tina, your pics you posted are so awesome! You are so hot! Congrats on your ps date. I don't blame you for choosing that day. I pray things are still improving for you. Weather you realise it or not you are a very strong woman. So many of us have our own hell we go through. It usually makes us stronger. God Bless you Tina. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Paula

Wow you look great. You go girl in the bathing suit! You have done great. People all lose at different rates. Don't be so hard on yourself. Good luck with the last little bit you have to lose.

Paula

You pics are great! Your looking so good. Keep up the good work.

Don't feel bad, I still have trouble on what to eat.

Hello Michellelei,

I am sorry for not answering you back. I have not been purposely ignoring you. The web sight was updated and I am still tyring to find my way around. I am not computer freindly! I wish you a lot of luck on your journey. I am not only a high BMI, I am a slow loser. I can only blame myself for that tho. I need to excersise on a regular basis instead of sporadically.

Talk later, Paula

Hey! I noticed that you were self pay with Dr. Groves- I am doing the same, and was wondering if he made you do ao pre-op diet- I know insurance paitents have to, but I don't know if the same will apply to self pay.

Hello Malysa, Yes he will have you do a pre-op diet. Mine was for 1 week. It is to shrink your liver so it is easier to place the band. Dr. Groves is a great Dr. I love him to death. Good luck. When are you getting banded?

25 lbs is great! Restriction is different in everyperson. I started feeling some restriction after #2. I felt a little more aster each fill. But I just had a fill last week #6. I think I am now at my sweet spot. Losing inches is at times better than lbs. I was banded in May 08. I have finally lost 50 lbs. I am a slow loser. I would probably lose more if I excersized on a regular basis. I'm not super consistent with it.

Just remember to be patient..it didn't take you 4 months to gain the weight and will take time to lose the weight.

Good luck on your journey. Keep us posted.

Paula

hello Kimmie, I am good. I don't have internet anymore. So I get on when I am at one of my childrens homes.

How are you doing? What about your weight loss? I have lost 80 lbs.

Have a happy Thanksgiving.

Love Paula

Hey Trey. How are you? Boy I miss you and your sense of humor. Last I heard from you, you were having personal problems. I pray that they have been worked out for the best.

I don't come here to often. I stay mainly on FB. I am doing ok. just finished all my treatments for the cancer. It is in remission as far as I know. I have 1 more P.E.T. scan next month.

Take care. Come back to FB. We all miss you.

Paula

Hi Tx. My suggestion is go back to banders basics. Do the 5 day pouch test Here is the web site. Good luck and keep us posted.

Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

Do you run a wild life refuge? I love animals and have thought about working at one.

Wow 70 lbs in a month! (or was it Dec. 4 of 2007) Which ever congrates! You look fantastic.

Thanks for the compliments. I am just a little partial to the family. I was self pay. I had a small ineratence that I used. I was so afraid insurance would deny me for some stupid reason so I self paid. It was worth every penny of it. Keep me posted please on your progress.

tomorrow evening at 5 pm. It is held at the medical mall on the corner of Governors and the Parkway. It is the 1st Thursday of the month. I will double check just to be on the safe side since I didn't go last month.That way if anything has changed I will let you know.

Thanks Luluc...I really missed this sight. I try to be genuine. I call it the way I see it. It has gotten me in a lot of trouble over the years.! LOL. But I wouldn't want to be any way else. I think a lot of your post are so funny, and others very insightful. Have a wonderful day.

Great weight loss Scott. Do you ever make it to Huntsville, Al for the BBQ cook offs?

He had me do low carb. I went in and was scheduled to have the surgery 2 weeks later. I loved that it was so quick.

The meetings haven't changed any. Thursday from 5-6 pm Hope you can make it. If you want to ever call me here is my # 851-9599

100 lbs! That is fantastic! In less than a year. Way to go.

90 lbs is awesome! Are you at goal or near it?

A while back on chat one night you told me how to make a homemade fondant that is easier to work with. Would you please give me the recipe again? Thank you so much.
