1day at a time

Good Afternoon everyone (Well here on the east coast anyway) LOL I am happy with keeping this thread. Just let me know, but I actually get the notifications so I am good with any thread as long as I get to talk to you all. Love to everyone

I just saw your post. Are you still looking for someone to chat with? I live in Oakwood Ga. Where is N. GA do you live?

This is a great post and so correct. The band is only part of it there is still work we need to do. And yes we can eat around the band but what was the purpose of doing our surgery's if we were not going to change. We are responsible for our choices not our bands. And like ivyrose325 said "This is a marathon and not a sprint !! "

pr8453 How are you doing this week. Are you feeling better?

Hey Pam, How are you doing this week? If you ever want to meet for coffee or something let me know we could meet at Starbucks or some place like that. If not it is cool we can just chat on here. Talk with you soon.

Which Dr are you going to go with?

I am not sure if you can go to any Dr for a fill but since you just moved here it should not be a problem. You can call my Dr who is at Northside hospital his name is Dr Daly his number is 404-252-0433. If his office can't help maybe they can tell you who can.

I am glad you are feeling better. Yes I am tired of all the rain it makes feel like laying around and my back yard is like a personal mud pool. i have not exercise much lately so I need to get on it other than that I am doing pretty well.

Pam aka pr8453, How are you feeling everything going well so far? Just checking in with ya

I am glad everything went well. Yeah the liquid diet gets old but it will get better just remember to practice consuming things slow that helps as you progress. Hang in their you are doing great. If you can walk a little that helps with the gas pains.

pr8453 aka Pam, Are you back Yet? How did it go?

I bet you are excited Pam. Be safe and let me know when you get back so we can chat. You are on your way to a healthy you.:mad:

When R you leaving to go to Mexico? Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you let me know when you get back!!

I have been banded since 07/02/2008. I have no problems and to be honest I think I have the realize band but I forgot to tell you the truth. I will see if I can find out and get back with you later. Sorry I work all day on a computer and have not felt like even checking my email at home until today. I am usually much better than this :w00t:

Hang in there it will be fine we all have our doubts but this something you really want don't let anyone else's experiences sway you. I like in Oakwood Ga, south of you so when you get back let me know I would love to help you. I have had ups an downs like many on the board but I would not trade it for anything else. This has worked for me. My Dr is Dr Daly at Northside he is awesome. There has been many people on this board that have been to Mexico and has have great success you will be fine. :blushing:

He is awesome. He did my mom Bypass 8 years ago and did my Lapband in 07/08. The only issue is the long office wait I think they double book him or something. So office wait stinks but as a Dr he is awesome.

Because my lapband anniversay is on 07/02/2009 and I want to have lost at least 60 pounds

Can I just say me too. Let's Do It!

Because I am half way to my goal Go me 51 lbs lost so far:thumbup:

Dr Daly is my surgeon too. I just love him. My experience was wonderful at Northside as well. He has a support group at Northside. I have been to the support group it helps alot. Unfortunately I have not been able to go since I had to switch jobs. Welcome to the site and to our group.

Hey Dee, I am a fellow July Bandit as well. I have struggled with my emotional eating which tends to trigger my eating of slider foods. I have even got on an ice cream kick as well. I just started going back to my basics to try to get off of the sugar and carbs that have gotten a hold of me lately. I know you feel sad now but it will pass. You can do it. As you can tell from the replies to your post we are all here to help. Just don't lose touch with your doctor. He/she can definetly help when you are struggling. And if you are relying on mostly slider foods than I agree you might be to tight. Hang in there. As you can see all of us were banded in July and we have all had different experiences.

Hi All, I am doing well.I have been doing liquid for the most part except i had some black bean soup today. All in all everything is going well. I am glad everyone is doing well

Thank you so much for adding to what I said. We are on this board to support each other. Not to bring those of us down who already feel like crap.

Thanks so much for your help. I am going to work on what you said. I have only seen you on this forum and I posted a message on the detox post you started. I was looking for a mentor and saw your post. Even though I live in Ga. I figured you could help. Don't know why but something said to respond to your post so I did.
