flabuless

ohhhh shellybeans I love that quote...I will have to put it up on my fridge. but yea the holiday season has been hard for me to but I ended up giving myself a break and have been eating little bits of whatever I like...I certainly haven't eaten as much as I did pre lapband and I will probably put on a lb or two but hey...I can alwasy take it back off next year when this 'silly' season settles down.

I am shooting for my dr recommended goal weight of 176lbs but I think once i get there I will see what feels the most comfortable between 150-176lbs. After all its about how I feel about how I look so I should be the one to decide. My true aim is to be a dress size 10. becky

AlyssaH I am up to my 5th fill and only now at my sweet spot...so keep the faith...it will come together. becky

Gosh Bullwinkle what a crock! for all their letters after their name I do believe that some of these so called 'professionals' are just idiots with their head so far up their own insanity that they think every body is certifiable. becky

thats good to know, I am always talking to people about lapband talk...its hard to keep track of members who I know that I have directed to this site. becky

Huberslave there is good advice above...main thing is don't give up keep on at them till you hear...and when you hear if its not what you want to hear make them change their minds!!!! You go girl! becky

Welcome freudmonkey... Congratulations on taking this wonderful step for yourself and for being brave and courageous enough to do it without the support of your friends and coworkers at this stage...You obviously have a lot of determination and commitment to the lifestyle change so you will be just fine! The liquid diet is difficult...no sugar coating that. but the trick is variety...find some flavours you really like and alternate. keep us posted...but I am positive yours will be the next lapband talk success story. becky
