How is everyone doing? Its been a long time since I have been on. Been very busy taking care of my mother in law and we are in the process of moving. I finally made it to my goal weight 170 and am doing great with my weight. Now I need to start working out to get in shape. Please let me know how you ladies are doing.

Hello everyone. I am so glad that you had a nice vacation China....you deserve it. Laurel hang in there and I hope that things get better for you. I am keeping busy....I did get a slight fill and it has helped. I am starting to lose again. I have 7 more lbs to go by my lap band doctor. My general doctor would like to see me lose a total of 17 more. We will see I am taking it one day at a time. Love you guys and hope all stays well.

Hello Ladies, I am sorry I have not been on.....but I have been having a hard time dealing with life. I am doing alot better and I am trying to get my life back on track. The weight loss is going really slow and I have my last 10 lbs to go. I went in today to get a .05cc put in we will see if that helps. I missed you guys and got caught up on your posts. We need to encourage each other and support this battle together. I promise I will be posting more.

Hello Ladies, I am so sorry to hear about your loss China. My heart goes out to you and your family. Well my mothers battle with cancer is over she is now at peace and with my Dad in heaven. She passed away at my home on Friday night. She is an angel now. The funeral is tomorrow and I am having a very hard time.....I miss her so much......she has lived with me for 10 years. Its just so empty without her. Please pray for her. Love You Guys

Hello Ladies.....boy have I missed you guys. Things are about the same with my mom and mother in law just trying to make them as comfortable as I can. Its so very sad...but I will be there for them until the end. Its been a struggle to get the scale to move downward and stay down. One day its down the next its up. I go for a fill the first week of December I hope that helps. I woul like to get to my goal by February but if I dont no big deal. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and lets stick together and stay on track. Love You guys and miss chatting.

Hello, I had a lower BMI I am 5'6 and I was 229 when I had my surgery on 12/15/08. I am currenty 184. I love my band and am so happy that I had it. I had to pay cash as my isurance denied me because my BMI was to low. I am currently about 20 lbs away from my goal. I am almost a year out and hope to reach my goal by February or March. So to answer you question the lower your BMI the slower the weight loss. But its so worth it. Good luck.

Hello all sorry its been so long since I have been on but life has been very full for me taking care of my Mom and Mother in law. I also have had computer problems so we had to go out and get me a new computer. So I now I forget how to update my tickler so I will give you an update on my weight loss. It is coming off slow but it is coming off. I have no had a fill in over 3 months and from the beginning of my journey starting at 229 I am currently 184 so I am down 45 lbs. I have about 14 lbs to my goal. I hope to accomplish that goal by my birthday in February. I feel so much better physically. No more pain in my feet, back and legs...its amazing what caring all the weight aroun does to us. Laurel and China I am so glad to hear that you guys are doing well. I will try and sign on more often. Rose

Hello Laurel, I am so sad that I could not make it to Vegas to get to meet you. I hope you had a good time. I am doing ok just very busy taking care of my Mom's and trying to keep the family on track. The weight loss is coming off slowly but I have to be patient. I lost my tickler password so I have not figured out how to update my weight loss lickler. How are you doing? Have a great weekend.

Have a GREAT TIME CHINA! You deserve it. Take lots of pictures I cannot wait to see them.

Hello Everyone, I am sorry I have been gone so long. But things have been very crazy for me. My mother has now been diagnosed with terminal cancer along with my mother in law. I am now taking care of both of them with the help of my dear husband and children. I promised both of them that I would not put them in any kind of hospital and that I would care for them at home. My mother in law is currently going through monthly chemo treatments. My mother on the other hand has decided to no longer have anymore treatments and we are just trying to manage her pain and make her comfortable. On a brighter note my weight loss is going along well I am losing about 5lbs a month and I will take that anyday. I don't think I need anymore fills as the weight is coming off at a steady rate. I see my doctor on Thursday and I will leave it up to him..but I think I am good. I am so happy to read that everyone is doing so well and is on track. I am so very proud of all of you. Keep up the good work. I am attaching a current picture of me any my husband.

Hello ladies dont get discouraged we have to ride this out and take it all the way. I have been very busy with my mother in law and mother but I am working in swimming everyday for at least 30 min. It helps my body as well as my mind. My DH surprised me and he is taking me to vegas on the 21st for 4 days......I am so excited. He made arrangements to have our daughter and son come and take care of my mom and his. I cannot wait to get away for a few days its been a long time since we have gone away. Stay strong ladies and lets DO IT. Love You Ladies

Hello ladies....glad to hear that you are all doing so well. I am doing well......swimming everyday for at least 40 min. a day. It feels so good. I am taking the time from my very hectic schedule and doing for me. I am very proud of all of you. We are all in the journey together.

China the dr. said that I am loosing at a regular pace of about 5 lbs a month and that I can only eat about 3/4 cup of food per sitting that would make me at my sweet spot. I have 7.5cc in my 10cc band. I have noticed since my las fill that if I eat something spicy or with alot of garlic I get this terrible burning feeling in between my breast area I am assuming its heart burn...has anyone ever got this? Just curious. Love You all.

Hello ladies, I am doing ok alot has been going on over here.....my mother in law is not tolerating her chemo very well and my mothers health has taken a turn for the worse. So for now I am the care giver to both and there are just not enough hours in a day. I am doing my best to try and keep everyones spirits high but I have to admit it is very draining. I have been swimming every morning for 30 to 40 min and it helps me alot. Dr. said no more fills for me he says that I am at my sweet spot and should be fine without anymore fills until I get to my goal I have 30 more pounds to go. I am happy that everyone is doing so well I proud of all of you. Love you ladies.
