Way to go Mandi, that is nice that your ticker is no longer a lie. :clap2: :clap2: Maria

Thank you Mandi, weigh in tonight we will see how close i get, yea Cloe we are neck in neck to that one hundred lb. mark, we will have to do something to celebrate surgery sister. :hug: Want to race. LOL. Maria

Wow!! thank you very much Loriely, i wish i was going backwards LOL. Now that means i have to change from 60 to 61, but a lighter 61 HOORAY. Maria

Way to go Yoda, congratulation's ONDERLAND good for you. :mad: Maria

Congratulation on your decision Cam, March 27th is just around the corner. Maria

You can do it Cloe, you are doing great anyway 90 lbs.lost :woot: Maria :woot:

Thanks Loriely, sorry i have no secrets i have good restriction, some days i seem to have more than others, i stop eating as soon as i have that full feeling, i have been able to increase my Water intake, i don't eat any junk food i think about it, but i fight the temptation. My husband and our daughters are amazed at the change in me, compared to what i was like before banding, i said the Dr.must have injected some kind of mind control drug in me on the day of surgery. LOL Hope you will be feeling better soon Loriely, and they are able to find out for sure if you have gall stones or not, and will get the problem taking care of for you. Take care. Maria :woot:

Good luck tomorrow, see you on the banded side of life, hope everything goes well for you. Maria :girl_hug:

Thank you very much Doddie63, you are on your way to succuss as well, keep up the good work. Maria

It is normal to be concerned and nervous before any surgery, we would not be human if we were not. I failed at so many diets that i knew i was doing the right thing for me, i only had one concern and that was because of my age, lets face it when you are younger you recover quicker, so i was concerned about the recovery time for me. Everything went of so smoothly and recovery time was fast, i also think it helped having a lot of confidence in my surgeon, i was very confident in his ability that i was not worried about the surgery itself. Here i am 10 months later and i am doing great and very very happy. It will be the same for you Sherrylynn and Anniegs. Good luck to you both. Maria

Have a great vacation Yasmina. Maria

All the best for tomorrow Bluegem, you seem to have a nice calm outlook for going into surgery tomorrow. We will see you on the banded side of life. Maria

You are a smart girl Mandi

Hello Rosi and welcome March 15th won't be that long coming round, look forward to hearing more from you. :welcome: Maria

Cloe and Argon stop that now behave.:zip: Hang in there Argon, maybe you should just enjoy what you can now Mandi, without over doing it, until you get your fill. Maria

Dodie NSV means non scale victory, sorry i know i am not Cloe, but i just had to answer LOL. :Banane43: Maria

Thank you for the information Jordhana, but the question was if anyone knew about Dr.Tin at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, as i had never heard of him i was asking where that clinic was located. I was banded by Dr.Cobourn at the Mississauga clinic. But thank you again for the information. Maria

Where is the Toronto Cosmetic Clinic located, i am afraid i have never heard of it. Dr Cobourn/Dr Mumford are at the clinic in Mississauga, they are located in the same office as the Plastic Surgery Clinic. Maria

Yes i agree with Mandi, best thing i have ever done for myself, my only regret was that i did not know about this when i was much younger. But like they say better late than never. Maria

Way to go Yoda, i noticed that your ticker had moved, quite a bit actually you are doing really great since you last fill. Congratulations Maria

Thanks Cloe, but i did not lose anything last week , stayed the same scale did not move. Monday is weigh in day will see what happens then. How are you doing Cloe, are feeling any more restriction from your last fill?. I know you said you lost 3 lbs. i think, and gained some back, has it improved any for you? are doing better now?. Maria

Mandi, enjoy breakfast while you can, just try not to over do it, breakfast used to be my favorite meal of the day, but alas no more. What date in March is Dan's birthday on, he is a Pisces like me, i am March the 12th. It should be fun watching you get your needle. LOL. Maria

Welcome Msrobbie & Dodie, nice to have you join us, looking forward to hearing more from you. :welcome2: Maria

Astro, the same thing happened to me when i was on the liquid stage, the bought soups have a lot of sodium in them which i am sure you know can cause Water retention. When you start on solid food things will change. just hang in there. you will see a big difference once the healing phase is over with. Maria

Mandi, you just take it easy for now, give your stomach time to feel better, we have a life time to take the weight off, you can always set your goal for March instead. Onderland Delta good for you congratulations. :clap2: :clap2: Maria :girl_hug:
