NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!
Went to visit my parents yesterday after going for my third fill. I know how much my parents love Dunkin Donuts so I got a dozen for them and my DH and kids. While they were all around the table eating donuts and coffee I was able to sit there and not get tempted to have any.....yes that's right NO DUNKIN DONUTS for me!!!! My mom even commented how proud she was of me not getting tempted and having JUST ONE!! That's how I got as big as I was....with JUST ONE!! I know now that JUST ONE will get me back to where I was before...49 lbs heavier!! I love my band Looosssiiieee!!! Fran xo

Today, Tomorrow, and the rest of my life
Good Luck to all of you that are going to be banded tomorrow and the near future. It is a GRRRRRRREAT tool!!! I would suggest it to anyone who asks. I was banded on May 19th and have lost 47 lbs. Just remember that you need to walk...walk....walk after surgery because you will be filled with gas from the surgery. I used GasX for the gas when it became unbearable but after a week it all subsides. Just stick to the plan and you too will be a LOSER!!!....LOL. God Bless Everyone!!! Fran xo

Weigh in... how much have u lost?
Down another .6 lbs!! Not much of a loss but I will take it!! As long as I don't see the scale going back up I'm good with it. I keep to the plan and know that my body is adjusting. Doing more exercise so that may be muscle being built up. Not going to worry!! I love Looosssiiieee!!! (named my band) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE!!! Fran xoxo
