hmmmmmmmm makes sense slech!! Thanks for posting!

Bud: This post gave me goosebumps! WELCOME to the BANDSIDE of life! I've only had one fill and have very little restriction, but I'm ON MY WAY, and yes.......... up and down up and down the scale that was me and portion control.

OH..... and get this.. we are going to family night at our 12 year olds boy scout camp TONIGHT.... boys' mom and her hubby and all ....... PERFECT time to unveil a brand new stinky perm RIGHT??? LOL Man oh man I'm HUNGRY!

LOL!!!!!!!!!! 1.5cc in a 4cc band........still waiting for GOOD restriction....thanks for this thread.. funny stuff!

GREAT NSV's Mine... (besides the clothes I'm fitting into again) is.... The proud feeling I have walking OUT of the gym all sweaty and red faced!

Day TWO at the gym this morning! Am I smoking or what???? Wait.....Don't answer that........ My thighs and arms really feel it! I am HUNGRY though.

LOL Judy! HAVE FUN with your friends today.. don't forget to take a pic! (congrats on the loss too)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats on the 195!!

GOOD MORNING VIOLETS! Yes, I did the gym this morning! day 2! My thighs and arms feel it, but I am so proud of myself.. Yay ME! Pamela: Baaaaaaaaaaaaad Te-kill-ya (what I call it since a run in with it in the 90's) Shake it off and go do an EXTRA workout to cleanse those nasty toxins.. oh and WATER, WATER, WATER today. Jennifur: Good job on the school and possible job. You will be lucky if you only need a couple fills! Kat: THOUGHTS, HUGS, and PRAYERS go out to you and Rick and (Kelsey) today! TracyK: Hope the chiro pops you back into place! Michelle: YUP bandster hell baby! Two weeks out and I was hungry as ever... stick it out and know that right now you are in healing mode. Jane: I see your filled to 3cc's how are you feeling????? Hope everyone has a great day. I am getting a perm today........ (the first one in 8 years!) I hope I don't come out looking like a poodle... I told her a lose perm just to give my hair some life..... WISH ME LUCK!

welcome welcome!!!!! I really miss the old way of editing the first post... I'm sorry I can't add everyone to page one! POST POST please! I am set for workout number two tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had mexican for dinner.......... I ate chips and salsa and a cheese quesidilla........ although less than I would of eating pre band...... more than a cup..... I guess 1.5 cc's isn't enough to really give me restriction. OK>.. little naked boy just ran past me........... gotta go

Same stuff BOOBS are made of! LOL Band is thicker and the innertub is thinner.......... Also the port is much like any other implantable device... my grandma had one for pain medicine and diabetics have one for insulin (so I'm told) Stints, Pacemakers, etc.... all things proven to be medical miracles and I view the band as the same.

Happy Late Bandversary!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Joan! Welcome... with the changes in the board I'm not able to edit the main list, just know that you are welcome and PLEASE POST! Have you had a fill yet?

Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Laura!!!!!!! How's everyone doing this afternoon? I'm a little slow on the water today, so I need to catch up..... My arms are feeling a little like jello, but I am going to workout tomorrow too! I told the lady I met today "Melanie" that I would be there......

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Katie::: SweatHog! Love it.. brings back fond Welcome Back Cotter memories!

thanks Terry!!!!! They are supposed to offer Zumba on Thursday nights, but I guess they are taking a break for summer.. so maybe I'll be ready for it when they start it up again... My arms are like jelly right now and I am hungry, but I feel real acomplishment.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Fricken DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got up and went to the gym! I worked out for 1 hour, and I was sweating like a stuck pig! but like fellow violet Pamela says........ "NO ONE EVER REGRETS WALKING OUT OF THE GYM!" I am so PROUD of myself!<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Thanks Julie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to be fair.. my first pic.. I was devestated.. and my ultimate low point.. I had just faced the scale and was soooooooo depressed.... I sat the camera on my dresser and punched the self timer and there I was....... it's almost painful for me to look at that first pic everyday, but its also theraputic.. the second pic was 4:00 a.m. the morning before surgery I was happy and down a bit in pounds...... still no makeup or hair....... pic three I did actually do my hair and makeup as we were on our adults only weekend... I was happy to be in smaller clothes and happy to be away from work, and Happy in general......... My BIG BIG BIG news is that I just returned home from signing up with a gym!!!!!!!!!! My first workout will be tomorrow at 5:00 a.m.!!!!!!!!!! OMG what have I committed too??? I must go to bed now so that when the alarm goes off at 4:30 a.m. I won't bash it in..... (I bought some workout pants too.........) GO ME!!!!

GOOD Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks vets for the responses!

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DBF and I JOINED A GYM TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and get this........ my first workout is going to be.... TOMORROW morning.... I am setting the alarm for 4:30 a.m...... I can not believe I just typed that.... 4:30 a.m. .............. Wooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!! Go Tracy, Go Tracy, Go Tracy!

good evening friends............ as I type this I am sooooooooooo sleepy. I have decided to take the plunge and join a gym... I looked up our local place and it has a Zumba class on Thursday nights..... it also has a daycare.. (that was my big issue with curves) I need to be able to take my son with me so that that I don't have to deal with a grouchy man left at home........ I know I could just go for a walk around the neighborhood, but th thought bores me to death....... I know if I was working out the weight would be coming off... and I would have more energy.... We are heading off for vacation next week, so I think I will wait til we come back.. but then am I just procrastinating AGAIN???? I had sloppy joe burger with a few crackers......... no bun,,,, but I am so full.. I have a few more minutes until I can drink anything so I popped in here. I need to get this butt moving. Pam you are doing good! Have fun on the last day of school!!!!

MONDAY ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Denise, thanks honey for doing whatever you did... LOOKS GREAT NOW... I did cave last night about 8:30 p.m. I was starving so I had about 3 T of peanutbutter and 4 ritz crackers... the protein of the pb cut the cravings. Everyone is doing so great! Kat, you and rick are in my prayers. Denise: I'm thinking of finding one of those classes.... YOU are REALLY inspiring me! Michelle: Dont sweat the pizza.. I think you did wonderful to only eat one piece! gotta get started on my water....... Judy: I will try to follow the bandster rules! Back later........

All ye hale to the band gods!!!!!!!! Goodbye mens size 42x30 Levis! I bought on clearence and they never fit me... now that I can get them on, they are hideous and make my butt long long.......... GOODBYE!
