Annalyn, hope you are doing well! Hey RILEY!!! HI Pam!! Hey Tamra and Heather!! Hello to all the newcomers !!! Where are all the veterans in this group? LOL I really miss you guys I am finally coming out of my depression funk and plan on revamping my program. I must get another fill soon! In the time being I'm going 100% protein again. So I was doing fine until I had Panda orange chicken and Beijing Beef and a chicken egg roll. I won't beat myself up for it however what bothers me is that I am able to all of this with no restriction :thumbup:. So I will be charting my daily intake as often as I can on here.

I know I am in a tough place right now and you all made me feel so special and I will be getting out of my wrought and get on the weightloss ball again. Once again I can't thank you enough for the beautiful card and the kind words that were inscribed. I miss you all and yes I would like to hang out soon!MUCHOS GRACIAS, MERCI BEAUCOUP, Thank You Very Much. Love you all!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

Hi Ladies and Gentle man :-). *Nicole sorry to hear about your dilemma,there is absolutely no excuse! Like Jes said take some time and exercise your options. My father gave me a wonderful advice, he said do not depend on a man solely financially and/or emotionally and always be on guard because you never know when you will be left alone. I have learned a lot from it. You deserve to be treated better than. Send hi to be my husband for a week.... LOL. Clearly he has issues that has absolutely nothing to do with you. Whatever you do please don't purchase his issues out of guilt. Your daughter needs you more. You are a beautiful young lady with a bright future, search find yourself and if he wants to join you set you boundaries or else .....Most men have a hard time with independent women, however they have the utmost respect for those of us who can stand on our own. This is tough let me know if I can be of any support to ya. Care for Auds and live well for you!!! Jes, I didn't get the fill because I lost 36lbs post op and she felt I was tight enough. I really didn't feel too tight. But dd get a fill 6 weeks later and it didn't do Jack......t.lol As you can see my ticker hasn't moved. I called Robin, my cravings are off the charts right now. Panda Express is my new friend now.... I know I have to kick that habit. Girl you may be at goal by the time you go for your fill. Candra, sweety how are you? I need to employ your stepdaughter LOL She and I will kick some pastry butt. Tina, how are you? Maria congrats on your date, could they have given you a better date LOL... You'll do well. Has anyone heard from Donna I miss her. Hi Pam! Riley Dear how are you?

Jes you are funny. I went almost 8 weeks before I hit bandster hell and it's been hell since. I heard it takes about 2-4 fills to get to the sweet spot. Well I'm still in bandster hell, I've been craving foods that I didn't care much for before and even drinking soda....:tongue2: lol. Pam, you guys are cracking me up! Yes I think I may have stretched by pouch or my band went with yours and Jes. LOL Yes compliance is needed.

Hi Ladies, It's good to see everyone is doing well. Candra, I am around struggling but trying, my fill did me no good. I'm glad you guys are doing fine and shopping and working out. I'll see if I can make it on saturday.

Follow you weekly plan. Let me know if you need anythng. I'll call you tomorrow. saw a a documentary on Patrick Swazey yesterday. I really liked hi, ma he rest in perfect peace.

Good ole carbs is my nemisces right now too. i plan on going to my private bariatric physician's office to buy some protein snacks to help me through this madness. i noticed also that if i eat 3 meals and a snack i lose more anyone experienced this?

OMG Tina I had migraines during TOM as well, it is normal for me however i was light headed and couldn't understand why. I'm with you on the not being in diet thing right now, however lets get back on track. I thought after getting fill i'd be doing better NOT! Can't wait to start losing again.

Looking HOT sister girl!!!

Candra, I hope you are doing well girlfriend, thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery. hope everyone is doing fine. i have been hibernating, not doing too well up and down but looking to get back to posting more for support. Jes you are next! Best wishes.

Don't be Jes, just email her and she will respond asap. You should have a last appointment with the Anesthesiologist and Tom a few days or a week before surgery.

Yes Candra email him or call the office because you are supposed to take it before surgery.Tom prescribed mine as well. I'm so happy for you and Jes. John, Welcome!!

Hi Candra, your Cinderella is here lol. Girl waiting to put on that nightie(Slipper). I have been a tad bit busy.Not only that I am struggling to get back on track with the band and the new fill. You guys can chat away goodness!

Jes, She actually thought my weight loss total is impressive. The problem is I don't feel full. I am trying to be good.

Thanks Pam for asking the fill went well. I think you and I were in the same boat I had very little in my band and that explains the spurts of bandster hell. I saw Christine and she looked great. Thanks all of you for your support and concern. Jes and Candra can't wait to see you guys banded. the fill process is so easy and fast. I was impressed.

Hi Ladies, Got my first fill. The highlight of my day was meeting Chris there. Chris you look good, I see why Bri took care of business LOL. So I met with Robin first and told her about my periodic bagel and smear escapades. She agreed that a fill was definitely past due. She warned me about the bagels and gave me some good tips. She said she rather I don;t cheat at all Duuuhh!! Then I met with Dr. Park, clearly she saw that I had only lost 6lbs since I saw her 6 weeks ago. so she gave me 1.5cc. Apparently I only had 2.5 in my band originally.I;m not sure where she got the 6cc from originally. So I am on liquids for the next 2days and then back to 1/4cup. So that was my day. we'll see how it goes. She said I am scheduled to see her in the November but can contact her if I feel the need for adjustment.

This is so normal a reaction LOL. Chris CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have a gang of Ladies here to support you. You will do fine with your band, remember that was one of your reasons for chosing the band? Congrats to Bri, that stud LOL! :thumbdown:. Well we have a shower to plan in 8 months YAAAYYYY!!! You know I thrive on occassions as such.

Hi Donna, thanks for the vote of confidence and the support also Candra and Nicole. I just hope I haven't stretched my pouch aahhh:ohmy:! Candra stay away from those cakes, I'm sure you are ony taking tiny bites.

I just sabotaged my entire week of hard work. I ate soooo much today it is sickening:cursing:. It's a good thing I am due for a fill. I ate Bfst- 2 boiled eggs Pseudo breakfast1 bagels lots of smear S- 1 bagel with lots of smear L-1 bagel with lots of smear 1 cup of general Tsao chicken from walmart S- 1 raisin bagel with lots of honey almond smear Mind you, I haven't had dinner yet. I guess I have to go totally protein tomorrow to drop a couple of pounds before I meet Dr. Park on Thursday. Why do some of us do this???? I need all you psych majors and social workers, nevermind the fact that I am a social work with a psych background LOL.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the info. I will keep you posted. I bet she's probably going to give me .5 or less since I already have 6ccs.

Are you serious about the plice themeLOL. Well I can talk about that . My appointment is at 2:30 so I assume by 3:30 I should be done with Dr.Park.
