dang Im impressed ! way to go give yourself ten pats on the back ! congrats on all of your hard work and determination !

Thanks !!!!

Im doing good, Im in plataue hell lol Im walking around 4-6 miles a day.... glad to hear you are doing good, good luck on the 3 day, sounds like fun !

Hey there, the best advice I ever received was to throw away my scale because you will become a slave to it and when it doesnt move you will think you are doing something wrong etc... I only weigh myself when I go to the LB doc for an adjustment ( plus home scales are not accurate ) go to wal-mart and buy some protein bullets they are little vile's of liquid protein -24g, multiply your weight by .4 and that will give you how many g's of protein to take in a day, protein is key to your weight loss... that and excercizing, get out and walk, I walk 4-6 miles a day, my total weight loss is @60 pounds so far.... but you have to be patient, you will go thru periods of fast weightloss then you will go thru plataues but you have to be patient, trust me you dont want to be very tight all the time, the thing to remember is we didnt get overweight overnight sooo it wont all fall off overnight either but this is the safest and healthyest way to do it ! good luck ! feel free to ask questions...

hey chica, how are you doin ?

hey chica, long time.. well Im back in Ohio now, glad to be back home, TTYL !

thanks ! I keep telling her that lol!

Good luck ! the best thing you can do for yourself is to make sure you are getting enough protein, walmart sells protein bullets that work great, that and walking, I walk around 4-6 miles a day, I know that is extreme but if you can get out and walk as much as you can it is the best way to burn calories, drink tons of water or G2 this is key too, I have been banded since Jan and have lost 60 pounds so far, you can do it just keep your chin up and dont get down on yourself when you hit plateaus, oh yeah, throw your scale away, only weigh yourself when you go to the Dr's office, just rely on how your clothes fit and take tons of pics so you can see yourself progress ! well good luck !

SPEED

oh, it was a breeze... Im all better now and back to walking my 4-5 miles a day... glad you are ok !!

ahhh.... here and there... mostly on B2G... how have you been ?

I had surgery, I went for my post op visit today, they said that they didnt take any out but just out it back where it should be ( below the stomach cavity ) and stiched it there this time, I didnt develope any scar tissue to hold the tube in place and thats how it came back up... thanks for asking ! take care...

hey chica... long time eh ? what new?

Thanks man, yeah its a good thing !

yeah.. lol, I need some new britches lol ! the surgery went well, at home bored out of my mind... lol I'll look you up on facebook... yeah I hear ya on the workout partner.... I walk for my exercise...

great progress, congrats !

glad to hear your so close.. congrats ! I have to go to the hospital tomorrow and get my port tube fixed, I went Monday and they tried to move it around so it would open up but no go so its back to the OR table for me... its just an outpatient procedure though so Im hoping its no big deal... good luck to you let me know how it goes !

ha ha... lol I dont mind the questions, I went to the hospital today but it was un successful, I am having an operation tomorrow to fix the tube.... Im down 50+lbs so far.... last few to lack of eating though.. lol

ouch... sorry about the foot... hope hes ok now, I am still alive but I really need to get some out, havent been able to eat hardly anything for the last two weeks, I go see Sandy tomorrow, so hopefully she will be able to figure it out... TTYL.

you should have gotten a card or something from your doc that tells you how big your band is..? I did, Im going to get a total unfill and go eat a big mac... then go get refilled... lol yesterday wasnt too bad, I only puked once... lol it will probably relaxed by the time I get to my doc and I would have had this week from hell for nothing.. lol

was doing good, I have a twisted tube from my port to my lapband, so I have to g oget xrays Monday, Im over filled and need to get some out.... hope you are feeling better.

I have to go back to Florida to finish out the concert season so I am going back Monday for a fix, I have 6 cc's in my 10 cc band so I imagine they will roll me back to 4 or 5 cc's

well we are in Ohio, I got a fill right before I left and I am over filled, my port tube is twisted and they couldnt get the saline back out... so its been a pretty bad week....

well, had a bit of a scare today with my fill, my tube that goes from the port to the band got kinked or twisted, I went to get my fill and she got the needle in but she couldnt get it to take or withdraw the saline, so she was worried that something was wrong and was going to take me to the er for an Xray when it opened up and took a CC, but she still couldnt get it to come back out so I guess its still twisted,
