Hey there, I am doing good. I just hit my first goal of losing 31 lbs so I am pretty happy

yeah that sounds good too, I just made my kids and hubby Runza/Bierock for dinner ( cabbage, ground beef and onions baked in dough ) needless to say I just had to look at it, I am now eating a sugar free jello cup !

As of today I am down 18, but I stalled for the last day I guess I need to get over being so sore and just get my a$$ back to moving.

I wont get my fill until May but hopefully I can talk my Dr. into giving me one a little sooner.

I am so freaking tall that even the 18 lbs really does not show that much yet ( crap ) once I hit 240 though its all on. Congrats on the drop in sizes, I know that feeling is Fantastic !

Thanks for the message, I lost the original 150 by what I called the I got left for a 20 yr old diet and I am so broke that I can only afford to feed my kids !! lol. I saw a video of myself on the beach and I really felt like a beached whale.

It actually really just took a look at the foods that I was eating at the time, my ex and I had always eaten at ayce buffets even our local hot dog place had an all you can eat night and I just gorged myself. I just decided that it was time to change that.

Walking was the best thing I did, then drinking lots of water.

Have you gotten your approval yet ?

Hey there.

I was banded the same day, congrats to you.

Great, I will be there with bells and whistles on. I have no clue as to what you look like so please do say HI !!

I have those moments too, I found that I have to work really hard at keeping track of what I am eating and how much I eat at one time. I just have too much on my plate at the moment with Kids, home, marriage and everything else falling to pot all at the same time.

I havent gotten my fill yet but I have heard that you have to play around at times to get to that sweet spot.

Hi Meshelle I am in the Northwest part of town. So nice to see another bander here locally.

Hi Golfgirl... I am a Vegas local and saw your post Re: Dr. Teng from last year. Just wanted to drop in and say hello to another Vegas bander.

I feel ya, I had scrambled eggs today too, then tried oatmeal ( NO GO ) then a boiled egg, ugh. Creamed Chicken double ugh. 1 steak fry went down with lots of malt vinegar but after that I was just done with trying to find anything mushy to eat. I may just pop open a tub of my baby food peaches and call it a day.

I am down 13 lbs though so thats always a good thing. How are you ?

Congrats... I was just banded 3/12/09 looking forward to being able to wear a nice swimsuit again !! You look beautiful

Hey Dan ... How are you holding up so far ? We have a day apart in bandays.

Congrats on your band... give it time, your going to go through every single weird body emotion that you can think of in the next few weeks.

I got mine March 12 09 and after trying mushies today I am about ready to go back to liquids because I just did not tolerate them too well.

I am down 16 lbs so far, I truly think this is the most I have ever lost in such a short amount of time. I am dead tired though, got some bug today and have ( tmi) spent most of my day in the bathroom. How is your weight loss coming along?

Im doing good. A little under the weather today but otherwise here and alive.

I'm down 16 lbs since I was banded last week, I think my poor body is wondering wtf is going on!

Hey Sunshine... how are you doing? Im having a week here, kids are on a roll for some reason and determined to make me lose my ever loving mind. Want to get together sometime this week and do tea or something?

Hi there Toml... how far are you out on your band so far? I saw a post by you that you were banded by Dr. Teng? I think hes wonderful. Do you go to the support group meetings?

Hi Poma, Thanks for the friend request. How are you doing? I have my first support group meeting today and I am looking forward to it. I see you got banded not too long ago too.

Congrats on your weight loss so far !

Do you need a ride or do you have kids that need to be watched ? I have AIM or Yahoo if you do and we can chat on there. Shanyalv on aim and Aynahsbdd on Yahoo.

Just saw your message, I was banded 3/12 and I am down just about 20 lbs so far. I stopped and hovered between 16-18 for the last week and in the last 2 days lost 4 lbs so I am pretty happy, eating the right stuff is hard, my hubby is on the bandwagon with me here so its a win win situation for us.

Hey I am local to Vegas too. Sorry to hear that your having a hard time. Have you been going to support group meetings at all ?

Hey you. How are you doing ? I had my surgery on the 12th and wow what a difference this is lately !!

Hi there, I saw a post from you on here and noticed that we are about the same height and starting weight. I was just banded on March 12 and am doing pretty good so far.

oh wow you already have something in your band ? I dont get anything until May. How did you manage that ?

I am feeling lots better now. I went to sweet tomatoes ( salad place ) with my hubby and was able to eat alot of different types of soup today which was WONDERFUL. I even had a little bit of tapioca ( one teaspoon full ) and a tiny ice cream cone which just hit the sweet tooth spot for me.

How did you get fluid in your band so quickly ? I have restriction too but its just natural for the moment, and alot of will power.

Hi there ... I am in Vegas as well. Who was your Dr. Congrats on the weight loss so far, I was banded on March 12. lost 18 then gained back 4 ... its a little irritating but I am sure once I get things moving the loss will start again.
