I need a pin up name!! Help me!
Of course I will share with all of you FIRST!! Then I am actually working on a website, I am going to do pin ups on the web. I have 1 job already! It is a silly thing for a upscale hair salon, but none the less it pays!

I need a pin up name!! Help me!
Hello all I am getting my pictures taken in a few weeks in pin up style. I am also taking Burlesque dancing classes. I am actually going to try to model pin up. My photographer has asked me my name, I am kinda clueless...lol... I was thinking Ginger for the first name since I am a readhead, but don't know..... Let's give me a name! Ginger Tamarac was my 1st thought. Give me some ideas!

Boo Boo Kitty's PS Journey
Hey all! Just an update and I am going to the PS in the morning. I am going to bitch at them for this screw up and get schedualed. They did tell me that the girl was fired and she had messed up lots of other people's surgeries as well. Great, I wasn't the only one messed up! I am going to make sure he can make me a D, if not I am not getting surgery from him. My insurance told me to get a 2nd opinion if he can't agree to it. I am a FF, there is no reason to take me to a C.

Disappointed With Lap Band
That is another great question, drinking when you are eating is a hard habit to break but WELL worthe the effort. You will become hungier sooner when you drink with eating or shortly before or after. These are all new rules for most of us, and adjustments are needed!

Steady Losers 4ever!
Hey ladies, I was posting and this just dissappeared...wth?? Anyways....I am doing well. Went to Surgeon, and saw PA this week. The pain is soft tissue swelling and damage from the car accident! THere isn't a whole lot that can be done and it takes a long while to heal. I am on anti-inflamtories and heating it at night. At least I didn't tear anything! Things are going well at home. He has made alot of changes and the meds are really helping. I am trying not to wait for the bottom to fall out and enjoy happiness again. Very strange for me! Jill--HI I am here! lol... Sweet--I am not sure what the best thing, but we are all doing well and safe, so we will see! Claud--call me! Steph--hello! How is Brandi doing? Anyone here lately? She worries me! Hello Nikki to our band mommy & baby! :cursing:

Disappointed With Lap Band
I don't think a fill is the answer! How much do yolu work out? We have to have it to loose. How much protien are you getting? If you don't have at least 60-80 mg a day you won't loose. Your body needs it. How fast do you eat? You may be eating your way around the band by eating so fast, it is easy to do. You can eat past the restriction because you are eating so fast. How much Water do you drink? How many calories do you get a day? The band isn't just about not eating junk. It is a tool that you have to work yourself. It isn't a quick fix~ Good luck!

Before and After Pics
Could I have lost the weight without the band? I think no. I know there is no way I could have dealt with my hunger the way that the band allows me to do. I tried everything there was, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medical Weight Loss, every pill ever made ect. None of them worked for me. I would never ever ever go without my band now, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Hands down I would do it again in a heartbeat! Good luck! AND KAT---shame on you to assume you aren't the one she meant! You have done great! Bad Kat!

Steady Losers 4ever!
Hey guys! Bman--I am so sorry things are so bad hun. I think you are completely overwhelmed. I am sorry about your grams too. If there is anything I can do to help let me know. I know that isn't much. Jill--That totally sucks about your sitter, I KNOW EXACTLY what you mean. My kids have NEVER been with a sitter because I can trust no one. Do I have issues or what? SO we go out maybe once a year when I can convience my mom to take them both. She won't do it. Sweet--glad your insurance will cover it! WOO HOO!! How is the knee doing? Nat--congrats on the GREAT loss!! WOO HOOO!! Steph--have fun with mom! I am doing ok. David left me for awhile, but now he is back. Surprisingly I was ok. Was a VERY short time. He is bit better now, with a bit of reality check I think, I would be fine without him but it is not visa versa!

Thank you Holly! Good luck to you! You can get back on track, that is the REAL beauty of the band! And loosing 110 and only gaining 15 is great! Don't feel so bad, you could have gained alot more! Just keep focusing on the fact that you CAN DO THIS! Good luck!

I did it! I DID IT! I did it!!
I know I need a slight unfill, but I can not seem to let the control go. I am eating small Snacks of string cheese now and thinking I am ok...my brain needs a revamp I believe! Funny it goes that way eh? How are you still a 12? I see you are just a bit more than me. Maybe you should change where you shop! lol... I have no butt left at all sad to say....and I am a 6 in Spanx to hold in the stomach skin...lol...so maybe I cheat??

I hate it when people post just to post.....

I did it! I DID IT! I did it!!
Thanks for asking Paula! but....I don't know yet I am still loosing...lol...I am truly trying to add calories in slowly, but I can't wrap my mind around it. It is funny you have the battle to loose, and then you get with the battle to stop loosing...never thought that would be so hard! I am no longer weighing myself, I had to stop. But now I am having to belt my 28" pants or they fall down. It doesn't sound so bad unless you factor in that I am 6". I am starting to scare myself.
