Do you go to any of his support group meetings? If so do a lot of people go?

This time it was Starbucks at Baybrook Mall. Next time it will be at a different Starbuck the mall was so busy and too much noise. You are welcome to come. You would be an inspiratation for us. One of the girls there today had lost over 100 lbs too. If you want you can bring your wife or girlfriend whatever make you comfortable. I will let you know when we will meet again. Maybe you could come. The very first time my husband went with me since it was the first time I ever met someone on the internet

I had to try it several times to finally get on

Well 3 of us met today it was fun. When we meet again in a 3 weeks or a month. Maybe someone else would like to come. Anyone is welcome and we always meet in a public place so everyone will feel safe.

I used Dr Spivak and was self pay. I love him, he is a great Dr. and his staff is really nice. I was banded on July 13 and have lost 36 lbs so far. I saw Dr. Spivak at the seminar and then paid the $100.00 to see him right after the seminar that was Saturday July 11 and I had my surgery Monday morning at 6:30 am. I am seeing him Tuesday for my 3rd fill.

Did you try Dr. H. Spivak in Houston.

Today God blessed me by making it possible for my husband and I to be able to bless someone else. It felt good

I have lost 36 lbs. Banded July 13

Today's blessing was a day with my Granddaughters. 3 years old and 6 month old. What was yours?

I think the Christian bandsters should give God some credit for all He has done for us lately. I enjoy praying for you all whenever you ask. I have asked a few times too! Let's lift Him up with praise for our blessings. I will start, God has truly blessed me with a loving and understanding husband who loves me and takes care of me. With a great son and daughter-in-law (that I love) and 2 beautiful little Granddaughters that are happy and healthy. What Has God blessed you with?????

I already am praying for you as I type this. Congratulations for the 80 lbs. lost!!!! That is GREAT!!! I think your body is just stressed out from all the emotional things you are dealing with. Don't give up things will get better. You and I both know that when we eat out of stress it just makes us feel worse not better. So stop it now before it gets too out of control. God gives us strenght you just have to dig down inside yourself and find it. If your depression is more than normal see a doctor and get a mild antidepressant. I have been stuggling with clinical depression for about 5 years and it can be a scary place to be, so if you need some help get it early. I am a big believer in God 's healing power but that has not happend for me yet. But I am still praying and believeing and expecting the total joy to return to my life. I went through 2½ year of counciling with a Christian councilor through my Church's association. Maybe you can find something like that. I really helped me so much and I use the coping skills I learn still to this day. You can private message me anytime. I will be praying for you. You will get over this hurdle and you will not have to do it alone. You know God is always with us so know you are never alone. Ask Him in prayer to make food something unimportant to you. He can help you!!!

I say get some short term counseling. There is almost alway something behind the weight. I am a big believer of counseling. Did 2½ year of it myself so I am recommending only something I did myself. You will be suprised how much difference it will make

That is the sad part I will turn on the heat to eat them

Be honest how many sugar-free popsicles do you eat a day? I have an addiction to them. I eat them at night and wake up with purple or red lips. Am I alone????

I was self pay!

Turn some music on and dance around!!

I would be happy to be your buddy. I am almost 4 months out and 36 lbs down. I had no trouble with my surgery at all. I have had 2 fills and am at 3ccs in a 10cc band. I will private message you my e-mail if you want to e-mail me.

I sent you all private messages with date still working on time. Anyone else interested?

I want to join. I will have to work my butt off beucase I only lose 1½ a week most times. but willing to try. Count me in.

Girl go Christmas shopping and have a blast!! You are doing better than you think. Are you feeling any better at all? I am still thinking about you and praying for you. Once you get out of the house and into the stores it will be great. Cheri

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!! You should be so proud of yourself!

I think we could set up something for the weekend of November 14 or 15 does that work for anybody?

I also think you have to stop eating even when you are hungry whether you have restriction or not. I only have 2 fills and I am not sure how much I could eat because I always stop at a certain point (3/4 cup). I wish you luck, just watch what you eat and stop at whatever point you choose for yourself, but stop at that point everytime. I think you will begin to lose. Good luck to you!!

I agree with you. It is not cheating it is find a new way to make it work. It is not easy you do still have to watch what you eat how much you eat, drink your Water and work out. Congratulations on your weightloss so far!! Don't let your sister bring you down, you know the truth!!

I private messaged you. We would love to have you meet with us
