I thought I was the only one experiencing the protein getting stuck or pbing on meats. The sad thing is before Lb I was not a sugar or rice person. Now I eat it like it's no one's business. I have been doing shakes and it is not working out so I plan on getting back to boiled eggs in the morning. I wonder if dr. P will see me again, I have not seen her since the last time I met with you jes and if I am not mistakened it was in April or eaier last year. I don't think I need a fill, I just need to drop this weight. Mo you are right I will set a mini goal of 15 lbs by may. Where is Donna?

Pat- I wish you the best with getting things back on track with your husband. Often when we change out image especially weightloss, it brings confusion in the home. Hang in there and all will be well. Well I have been struggling for a long time, since my near death experience, everything seems to have gone south with my weightloss. I cannot blame my band as I am sure if I allow it it will work. What I can say is that I have been extremely stressed with work. I have gained all my weight but 27 lbs short of my start weight. There is a reason why all of a sudden we all started getting emails from LB talk.,god knows I need all the support and I must say when we were together we did well. So those in sac let's do this and those in the eastbay get cracking and then we can make it a point in meeting at least once a month collectively. I miss you all tremendously, the laughs and the checks and balances that we had was priceless.

love ya too Candra and all. This is a sure sign for us to start getting our health back under control. We did so well when we met periodically. I want to really give this another try.

Hey Candice , how about the second week in April. We can do a Friday or Saturday? What Do you think?

Hey Jes it's good to hear from you. Well I have been well but not doing what I should be going to have my band help:-(. Well I am taking a day at a time the problem is I am losing the battle. I would like to blame it on stress. I will look forward to your get together! In the time being keep in touch! Candice you have done well and have not gained, obviously doing something right. Keep up the good work all.

Hi Candice, long time! I'm glad that there are still a few more here we really need to get together. Hey Lee and Mo, how have you been? Omg where is Jes, Candra, Donna,Tina, John Nicole both, Chris and the rest of the fam? Let's get back in touch y'all!

Congratulations La Chica. Hope you are doing well. I really miss our group! Hi Pam!

Hang in there Pam, i know the feeling. I can eat bread easily too, but it's a good thing its not something that I really care for. Where is everybody on this site anyway? Hope your fill went well.

Hi Pam, yes I can read your post. How are and all my LB family?

Riley, that's great!!I cut down my carb intake and I am trying to obey my band :smile2:. Mo, I am trying. I gained all my weight back and I have to do something about it.I a at pre op weight so I gained all post op 32lbs back. But I am confident that I a slowly but surely getting back on track.

Riley you are doing fine:-). Give him your blessing and few life lines, when he bumps his head he will come back. But the hope and wish is that all goes well with him there. He is taking leap of faith and all you can do is give him your blessing and it will help motivate his success. So this week I have been really good, i lost 6lbs and I know the band is working. I am at 5cc. I am waiting to drop 15-20 more and then go back to Dr.Park for a fill :-). Coming here and seeing you guys doing well and hanging in there helps. I see folks are not posting as much. I wish you all good health. Reggie

Hi Riley!! How are you and all the LB family doing? I am well, still struggling, but I see it as a means in search of doing the right thing. Everyone seems to be doing so well and happy for you all. I think of you guys often. Will be in touch. Reggie

I can totally understand, I am confident that we can do it right this time. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been different with RNY?

Thanks Tina!! I am back to pre surgery weight and needless to say I am frustrated and disappointed with myself. However I am trying to get over it and get back on track.

Hi All, I hope you are all doing well. Wow John you are down 60lbs already? good work you guys. I wish I could say the same. I am trying to work my way back from the abyss. I am glad you guys are all doing well. I wanted to pop in and say hello and find some inspiration with the hopes of giving some back soon. I miss you all. Have a good night. Reggie

Tina, what's going on this weekend? Thanks Pam and Tina for your warm regards. I would love to see you all soon.

Hi Everyone, Hope you all well. Chrissy congrats and I am sorry you are having a hard time. Hope you get better soon. Christine it is good to have you back. Checking in with you guys. I am doing ok taking it a day at a time and ready to get back on track full force.

Congratulation Tina on your weight loss, girl you got this :-). Hope every one is doing well. Ash how are you feeling? Where is everybody today?

CONGRATULATIONS ASH!!! Girl get some rest. I hope everybody is doing well.

I am here Tina. I just got your message from FB. I am here taking it a day at a time. I am craving things that I never cared about prior to surgery ie coke and cookies. I am trying to battle my demons. Call me sometime. I miss you too!

Thanks to Ali, Lee, Pammie, John and Tina. I really need the support and I am working on staying on track. I couldn't make it to Kaiser. However I hope to see you all soon. Tina I got your message, It has been crazy busy but that should not stop us from staying in touch right? :-). Call me. Hope all of your weekend was good! Mo Happy B-day!!

Hi Everybody, Hope you are all well. I have been away for a while because I am truly struggling I have gained over 28lbs back post-off. I a very frustrated, I know that it is not my band, but my silly head. I have found myself addicted to cookies and bagels where prior to surgery non of these items were my favs. As a matter of fact I did not like sweets at all. So I am desperately calling for help. I found myself in tears and depressed as today was my bandiversary BUT i was not able to celebrate because I have yet to battle my demons. Please lend whatever support you can. I truly miss all of you! Reggie

Hi Y'all! I hope everybody is doing well. Been doing ok, challenges but confident that I will see the scale move downwards :-). I have been quite busy as well. Donna- I am checking in. Welcome to all new folks and congrats to all close to goal. Pat- thanks for the words of encouragement I really need it. Candra- girl you know you are always welcome. You guys have a good week!

LOL Candra you are too funny! I think the withdrawls are good, too much rice not good. I am surprised Rambo did not reject it. Rocky is trying to rock on lol, I have maintained the 7lb since my fill I need to kick in some excercise.
