hey everyone well i called the dr to get a much needed fill. i have been eating alittle more than i want to. i havent been to get one all this time due to me being over filled. then when it was taken out it hurt so bad. but, i better go before i gain all of it back. so i go on wednesday at 1:30pm

hi all im so glad to see everyone is doing so good. well i called the dr today to get my seconde fill. i should have been got 1 but, im scared cuz i was over filled last time and it hurt alot when it was tooken out. but i gotta do it. i go wednesday. so we will see how that work out. as i wanna see the scale move down not just loose inches.

hey rose and laurel hows things going. rose its crazy i almost cant stand him. just 4 months ago i had to pay a family 2500 for medical bills for him hitting their son in the mouth with a truck. and he is only getting worser. i dont have the patience for it rite now. we havent spoke in a few weeks now. every time i think about him i wanna whoop his ass for real. so i just leave him alone. laurel how are you doing. i feel ya about the work out. i have been doing ok with the work out part its the eating part that is all off. i think im eating about 1150-1500 calories a day. i never go over 1500 not even close. i think im gone try and get the fill.

yes its a very slow start in june i didn't loose any thing this week. i need a fill im gone see if i can get one next week. i dont really have any thing in there 2.4cc i need more than that.

ok i noticed this group didn't have a section for this so i thought i would make one. i know alot of us are loosing weight and have our old ones just sit in around so i thought it would be a good ideal to post if you have clothes to give a way or exchange. or if you need clothes. just list your size.:thumbup: i thougth this would help all of us out as we are loosing weight to have to keep buying clothes is just crazy. so i will go first im a 2x-3x shirt, and pants. or a 24-28 pants if anyone has any laying around let me know.

hi all how is everyone doing me im ok. laurel where you at u alright. well things with my son r very crazy these days. he just turned 13 and i guess thinks he's a man. seems like he's angry with the world. he doesn't wanna listen any more. he has turned my house all upside down with his attitude. its gotten so bad i have sent him to stay with his aunt before i kill his ass.

hi i was wondering if any one had any clothes that are a size 26-28 that there not using as im in need of some clothes. i learned today that i can fit a 24 also but its alittle tight. but, im getting there.:thumbup:

rose im so sorry to hear about your mother-n-law. i know how hard this can be. i know its hard to deal with. but, put it in gods hands and please remember god doesn't put more on us than we can handle. your husband is going to need you now more than he has ever. get your self together and be strong for him he's gonna need that. you be sad when your alone. the best thing anyone can do is make her as comfortable as possoble. its hard to watch some one you love go through the storm. im here for you ya. and laurel i to know about the eating. as im under pressure and have started eating more than i would like. things come up ladies and there is always a road block in the road. but, we dont give up we deal with what ever is put in front of us. so when ever any of you feel like things just cant get any worser know you have a hand thats reaching out to you. and hear me saying come on we can get through this. i love ya. im pray for all of you. please remember me in your prayers as well as im having a hard time with my son. and lord knows i wanna hurt him but, that will only land me where i dont wanna be. and i gotta get back on track with da band. so i do under stand all to well.

rose how did surgery go? and thank laurel as i do need them. i will send you my address later. and you are like me im scared to get a fill after going through the whole over fill thing. dont worry about gaining. things will fall into place just wait and see.

hi all im down like 34lbs since surgery i think. i do feel great as i have been trying to get use to the band. i have good days and bad ones but, im glad that i did it. things take time i just am not patient.

i will say a prayer for her rose and your family.

its another new month everyone and that means time to set a new goal. i hope everyone is excited as i am. its been a long walk and we are doing so good. we should be proud. hope everyone continues to and all new people are welcome. so get your weightloss goal for the month in. and lets get moving. see everyone at the finish line:biggrin:

rose glad the party was nice. and i know you feel out of place so take some time and gather your thoughts and when your ready get back out there. laurel how is work going and are you going to do any thing special for your daughters b-day. and how have you been feeling these days. me im doing ok could be better but, im not gonna complain. well ladies we all will be just fine. its a new month so what is gonna be the goal for each of us. me i think i gonna go 10lbs.

8lbs is great laurel. are you scared to be going back on solids. i know i have to im working on it. i really am. rose where you at you ok. how have you been laurel since you been back to work. well i hope everyone is doing ok talk to ya soon.

hi all well i went to the wlc today and im down another 3lbs. i guess im ok with it. as i thought i would have lost more. i did learn that me only eating 2 meal and no snacks is not good that i slows your weighloss down. so im gonna have to change that and do some thing else. we im proud of you all we are getting there. keep up the good work.

well im down 3 more lbs. and i didn't get a fill. and im ok with that as i didn't think i needed one at this moment. and good luck laurel i know you have lost. oh i did speak with the dietion as the dr said im not eating enough. so i guess i to am starting over but from solids. well good luck all and keep up the good work.

well i go to the dr tomorrow so i will post and let everyone know what happen.

hey you long time no hear from. im so glad to see you on here. well to answer the post i have lost 43lbs before surgery and 31.8 after. do i feel great hell yes. i do some times get discouraged becuz im working my tail off and feel that i sould have lost more. but, i think that i just me. in time i will get there. best of luck to you all. one question though tell me has anyone's dr said how many calories people are size should be eating. i eat about 900-1200 a day im fine when i eat 1200-1400 but, i feel tired if i do under 1050. but, im trying to loose it. so i dont know if that is the reason im lossing slow or what.

welcome teri glad to have you. glad to see you back on-line laurel i was gonna call you the other day. but, thought it would be a good ideal to let you get your rest as i knew you were returning to work soon. glad to hear your feeling better. rose im so sorry to hear about your job and mother-in law. that is so sweet that she has you to help her. we as for me i seem to be going up and down. i know im not eating as much as i should. just not hungry these days. well most of the days. and i seem to be not happy with the band as i feel i should be lossing more than i am. but, im gone give it time. i go to the dr on tuesday. so i will leave it up to them on what i should do.

hi all its been a long time since i posted as it has been alot going on my way. well i have lost 5lbs in the last wk and im happy about that. i m down to 2.2cc in my band and i think im need a small fill but, i think im just gonna wait and work with this amount i dont care if i lose slow as long as im losing. i have started walking in the am an the gym in the pm and it seems to be going ok. well i wish everyone well. and great job keep up the good work.

jwhipple i know how you feel as i am there right now just different issues. the most important think is to remember no one is promised to anyone for ever. it happens some times. its a chance that we take some times some times we need to find out that the grass is not greener on the other side. who's to say that in six monthes you will want to be with her still. i dont know how your wife feels but, i think she really needs to decide if she is going to take the meds or not as its not the kind of medication that you want to start and stop often. i dont know if she can deal with the ed or not but, i dont think that is the real issuse. give it some time. let her know that you love her and that you are going to give her some time to work on her and you on you. but, you will always be there for her. does it hurt hell yes. is it hard yes. as we find ourselves just wanting to be some where in there life. maybe ya can go to counseling but, i would say give it time as it sounds like she changes her mind alot. i have often heard if you love someone let them go an if they come back its meant to be. i have been with my mate for 15yrs and 2 kids later and i feel like i lost my left arm and leg. but, i love me more and deserve to be happy. and i have to stay strong for my kids. do i love him hell ya, do i want him yes. but, i have to remember what was making me unhappy an what the problems where and know that i we were not happy and that in the end it was only hurting the kids. do i keep a line of communication with im yes. an who knows in time maybe we can work it out but, it takes work on both parts. dint ever feel like like less of a man shit happens as all men will go through it. just as women will go through there change. no one ever said life was gonna be easy. now as for your daughter no you will not loose her. you first need to go to court or call child support and let them know your income has change and they will adjust it. and i dont know if you and your ex talk but, let her know that you have lost your job and that you have to have the support changed. and that once you are employed you will have it changed again. i hope things work out for you. it will work it self out in time. and always remember it gets better every day. you just gotta be strong. im praying for you china

hi all how is everyone doing me im hanging in there. well im posting an update. spoke with laurel today and she wanted me to let everyone know here band slipped but, was able to be fixed. and she wanted me to let everyone know that if any thing happens to any of us dont waste ya time going to the er to call your dr first as the hospital really doesnt know what to do. she is doing fine just tired and sore. so let send her our love and prays that she had a speedy recovery.:laugh: .
