Hello everyone. Well its been a very hectic few days. Yesterday I was at the bank standing in line and all of sudden I started to get very hot and clamy I knew that I needed to sit down....well I ended up passing out for a second. The bank manager was great she asked if I needed them to call 911 I said no. I sat for a few minutes put some cold towels on my head and drank some Water. About 15 min later I called mu DH and he came and picked me up. I went directly to my doctor and he said that everything was fine. They think its just stress. Its been very stressful planning my daughters wedding, etc. I have been working out daily and today I am feeling fine. I have gone down one dress size and am putting all my clothes that I canot wear anymore in a bag and plan on giving them to a co-worker. The pounds not be coming off but I can feel the inches. Well I am planning on having a nice evening at home with my DH. Its the first weekend in months that he is off. Janet I am very excited for you about your cruise. Sounds great. Have a great day.

Hello everyone. Well I have been very down on myself in the last 2 weeks I have not lost any weight. I know why with Valentines Day, my birthday, my daughters wedding shower it has been non stop dinners, parties, etc. I have not been making the best food choices some days. Like one night I had a piece of pie and another night had ice cream. I am down because in 9 weeks I am only down 21 lbs. I am working hard this week to get back on track. I am scheduled for my 3rd fill next Friday. Thanks for listening everyone. Have a great evening.

Hello Laurel and China, I am here its been a crazy busy few weeks, with Valentines Day my birthday on the 18th and my daughters bridal shower last Saturday. She is getting married on 3/14. Well I am not very happy with myself I have not lost any weight in two weeks with all the parties, etc. I have really been down about it. China that is awesome 30 lbs and Laurel your weight loss is amazing. Compared to you guys I am way behind. Well I am back on track and started working out again. Keep up the good work ladies.

Hello everyone.....well it was b-day yesterday and between my b-day and valentines day its been a struggle to make good food choices. Last night I ate a piece of pie.....I felt so guilty. I actually got depressed. My DH asked my why I was so sad. Its so weird to feel guilty over a piece of pie. Well the scale has not moved this week. I have been having some good restriction since my second fill. I actually got stuck twice yesterday with a piece of totilla. I am not due for another fill unitl 3/6. I am back on track today. Everyone have a great week. Saturday is my daughters wedding shower she is getting married on 3/14 I would like to be under 200 by than.....wish me luck.

I am back....hello everyone....yesterday was my birthday....and between Valentines Day and my birthday....I have been not making very good food choices. Yesterday for my birthday I had a piece of pie......I felt so guilty about it .... it actually depressed me. My DH kept asking me why I was down. Its so weird how bad you can feel for eating a piece of pie. Today was alot better day for me. The celebrating is over and I am going to get back into the routine. The scale has not moved this week. Lets see what tomorrow brings. Glad everyone is doing well. Janet good luck with the your Brothers Estate if you need anything let me know I have been in the legal field for over 25 years.

Janet I am just pasting what I wrote a few days ago was wondering if you know odf any places in PS. Welcome back Janet......sounds like you had a nice visit with your Aunt. I am glad that you made it back safe and sound. I had a very busy weekend as my DH surprised me and we spent the weekend in Palm Springs at the Spa Resort. Celebrated Valentines Day and my birthday which is on the 18th. Well we went to the buffett at the Spa Casino on Valentines day and I ate more than I usually do. But I did make good choices....shrimp and crab.....I did have one spoonon bread pudding my favorite dessert. I also had a glass of champagne. I am back at home and back on track today. We tried to go dancing.....but boy the music was horrible ..... we felt old. Janet do you know of any places out there that plays 60-70-80 music. We love going to Palm Springs but we would love to find a place that is more our age group to listen to some music. Your picture is beautiful......you look amazing. You are a true inspiration to me. Have a great week.

Thank you Long2bethin I will look into the videos. I am back to working out. I rode my stationary bike for 45 min tonight. Since my 2nd fill last Friday. I am just not able to eat much. I am getting in about 900 - 1100 calories. My doctor wants me to stay at 1200 but its just not happening. I still need to work on eating slower...that is just such a bad habbit to break.

Hello everyone. Well I am finally feeling alittle better with this darm head cold. I just hate being sick. I have not been on a cruise in about 15 years so I can't give much advice on that. May I ask what P90X is sounds interesting? Janet have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your Aunt. I am sure what ever you pack you will look amazing.

Hello everyone. Well I still congested but feeling alot better. Tomorrow I am going to go get some chewable vitamins. I have not been able to eat much while I have been sick. I am not sure if its because of my fill last Friday or because I have been sick. I did loose 2 lbs this week so I am happy with that since I have not been working out. Tomorrow I am going to start working out again. Take care of yourselves.

Hello everyone glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I am still sick with a head cold but feeling alittle better. When I get a fill my doctor only requires me on liquids the first day, second day mushies and 3rd day regular food. I have not been working out since I have been sick hoping to get back to it by the end of this week. Well I am off to fix myself a cup of tea. Stay well everyone.

Hello Janet my doctor did tell me to start Vitamins in my 7th week so I did. So hopefully they will kick in and I will get rid of this terrible cold. I have been drinking alot of fluids and getting some rest. Its not easy to rest when you have to take care of my ill 76 year old mother. But I am doing my best. I have not been hungry at all. But have been managing to eat at least 1000 cal. I am not exercising at all. So it will be back to the drawing board with the exercise once I get to feeling better. Well I am off to drink another cup of tea and go lay down. I am so glad to hear that everyone is doing well and staying on track.

Well I am sorry to report that I am sick again...this really sucks. I have a bad cold and fever. This is the second time in less than a month. I am going to have to talk to my doctor about vitamins. I am taking vitamin C. Well I am off to try and get some rest. My entire body is aching.

Thank you so much I will make sure I ask my doctor about taking vitamins. I am taking vitamin c. But that is about it. My kids and dh worry about me.....I am truly blessed with a great family. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Long2bethin.....great job on the weight loss. Keep up the good job. Janet sounds like you have a wonderful job/boss like I do. I have been with the same attorney at the job for 30 years. We are truly blessed. Things have slowed down alot for my boss so I only work 2 days a week now. But it all worked out well as I have to take care of my ill mother that lives with us. So I really have 2 jobs. Well I am home today with another cold this is the second cold that i have got since I have been banded on 12/15. My daughter is worried that I may not be getting enough Vitamins and nutients and maybe that is why I am getting sick more often. Has anyone noticed they get sick more since wl surgery? Well I am off to lay down.

I think we are all stress eaters. Most overweight people are. Don't you hate when you hear this skinny people say that they cant eat when they are stressed or upset? When I am upset WATCH OUT fridge! Well that was the old Rose the new Rose is trying not to turn to food. I had a busy day running around going to the mall went and got the hubby fitted for his tux for our daughters wedding. He is going to look so handsome. Thank you all for the well wishes. Have a great SUNDAY. China let us know what your menu is going to be like.

I had a busy day today. We went to the mall and went and got my husbands tux fitted for our daughters wedding. We also had to go get a tire repaired because we noticed we had a nail it one of them. We also had to go to costco to pick up glasses. Hubby than took me out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. I had the cream of chicken with artichoke Soup. It was really good. Tomorrow we are going to the church and the hall to make all the final arrangements for the wedding. Lets all have a great Sunday. Janet how did your hair appointment go? May I ask what line of work you are in? I am an office manager for an attorney....been with him for 30 years.

I am glad that everyone is doing well. China I am happy that you are feeling better. I went to the doctor today I was down 2 lbs in two weeks. He put in 1cc so I have a total of 5cc in my 10cc band now. He said that if I continue to loose about 1-2 lbs a week he will see me in a month. If I stop loosing than I can come back in 2 weeks for another fill. He likes to go slow with the fills so I will see how I do in the next couple of weeks. He suggested that I only work out 5 days a week and take 2 days off. He also wants me to wait to start sit ups. Well everyone have a great weekend.

Its been a rainy day here. I went for my second fill today he but 1cc so I have a total of 5cc in a 10cc band. All went well and he said that he could have put 2cc in today but he prefers to take is slow and easy to have me get to my sweet spot. So he said to see how I do in the next 2 weeks with my weight loss if i am not loosing than I can come in in 2 weeks for another 1cc if the weight is coming off at a steady pace than he will see me in a month. So I will just wait and see how I do. I have been on mushies today and have not been very hungry. Thank you so much for all your advice Janet. I did ask my doctor about doing sit ups he said that he would prefer me waiting another few weeks for that. Tomorrow we have a busy day we have to go get my husband fitted for his tux for the wedding and than we have to go to the mall to get my shoes and purse. Than our son and the grandkids are coming over for poker night. It will be fun. Everyone have a great weekend.

Welcome back Allie, I am so sorry to hear about the fill problem. What weight do you want to get down to. I am 5'6 started at 229 and am currently at 211 and would like to get to 150. Sounds like we are all loosing inches...and thats a really good thing. I go for my second fill tomorrow I will let you know how it goes. Take care everyone.

Yes we got rain today and its still raining here now. I hate when it rains and I have to drive in it. I only work out of my house 2 days a week on Mondays and Thursdays so today I got stuck in alot of traffic coming home. My 76 very ill mother lives with me and on the days I have to go into the office I rush home to get her fed. So Mondays and Thursdays are pretty hectic for me. I came home made dinner, gave my hubby a hair cut and did my treadmill for 30 min. Janet how many days a week do you work out. My daughter is telling me that I should only work out 5 days a week I have been doing 6? Well tomorrow I go for my second fill I will let you know how things go. What I ate today: B- oatmeal Low Sugar banana L- Turkey/fat free cheese on 1/2 whole wheat pita bread Lite and Fit Yogurt Pear D- 4 oz steak steamed eggpland, onions and tomatos S - 3 crakers with Peanut Butter

Did not win last night....but I had a great time. I went shopping today to look for a dress for my daughters wedding that is on March 14th. I tried on a 16 and it was baggy. That was a nice feeling. So the scale is not moving as fast as I would like it but the inches are coming off. We all have to just take one day at a time and treat everyday like a new beginning.

Well I had a very busy day today. My oldest daughter is getting married on 3/14 and I had to go pick up my youngest daughters dress and while I was there I tried on a few dresses. I tried on size 16 and it was baggy on me. I was so happy. Like I said yesterday the scale is not moving this week but I can tell the inches are coming off. Janel no I never measured myself when I started this journey. I am going this Friday for my second fill. Maybe that will help with the scale. Janet what kind of exercises are you doing for the flab on your arms......I need to start working on that. I rode my stationary bike for 45 min tonight.
