Persistance

I'm looking at Inamed...how do you get the card??

Saul ...you too???? I'm an overfed model. I have an awesome body, I just keep it cover with fat to prevent it from getting scratch!!! Lol

Sometimes when I go out to eat with my family ,we order an appetizer and an extra plate.I get a little bit of everyone elses plate. Other times the child menu is great...I even get my own toy!!! Lol

I know the band did it for me!!! Cleaning the pantry I found at least 4 different teas,pills,drinks and diets that I used to lose weight in the past... The band sure does help to re-educate myself when it comes to portions and excercise

:drama: MAKEMELEAN Like your hubby said......I need a band around my neck!!! I ate everything and anything within my reach during the holidays!!!. So now I'm eating Kashi (cereal) with fat-free milk (how come everything that is healthy and good tastes like cardboard? lol.) I don't even wanna know how much weight I gain. I'm going to be super good for a whole week and then...... I'll weight myself. Let's get back on the saddle . :gluck:

Kat : You are a sweetheart. You are wright about having friends that let you vent and rant about a tough or sad situation is a blessing (We all have a story to tell :- ) but there is a point where you have to be honest with yourself and find out what took you to that point of missery. Actions speak louder then words and the children are watching. I belong to a group called "Recovering couples anonymous" (same 12 steps as A.A) in this group more then fixing the marriage you fix yourself . Is extremely hard to soul-search and find out how sometimes we are the ones who keep repeating certain behaviors that harm us or others (taking abuse ,being the abuser,staying,leaving..) Is important to give your children a positive message in the mist of all this chaos ("We all are hurting now, but we can still respect each other and depart in good terms " or "Mom and dad made wrong decissions, please forgive us for the pain this caused you, on my part I promise to stop and think before saying anything negative or placing the blame on you.) Personally ,I didn't end up divorced only because God is merciful, but I know of the pain and frustration of living in the same house with somebody who is mean and hurtful....please don't misunderstand , but WONDERKIDSMOM wakeup and smell the "You are the only one in control of your life, be a responsible adult now"

God help America!!!!! PLeease, enough with the WONDERKIDSMOM drama!!!, honestly, the woman keeps saying that she is afraid of her husband reading her posting,and still she keeps writing,everybody tells her to get out or kick the hubby out of her house, but she stays!!! Welcome to LAPBAND TALK...lapband!! not DRAMA-BAND, or POOOR-ME band talk!!!!. Been there done that, blaming EVERYBODY else does not solve the situation. Find HELP, LEGAL help!!!!!!!!!

Is anybody struggling with getting rid-off all the cookies,chocolates and goodies left from new years and Christmas!!!!? ???????

yep ,Teresa. Where is everebody??

hey kat...are ya still here??

:violin: BARBARA!!!! I agree with you 100%. PLaying the victim is very harmful for the children. It takes two to tango. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Stop wasting time chatting girlfriend , look for information on the net, and if you are sooo afraid of your husband reading this ...why do you keep doing it????

Get ridoff all the goodies left over from Christamas!!!!

I'm 5'5" medium frame....do you think that 135lbs would be too much to lose??

I started at a 250lbs size 20, 40DDD bra /Now 170lbs size 13 jeans because 14 is too big and 12 are a NO WAY MISS Mcbutt!!!! lol. Water, and high protein diet for me...that always does the trick. Anybody would think that because I'm in the medical field I should be a slender size 4....we all are heavy at the hospital!!!

Yeah!!! I was thinking what do you girls do after really messing up??? (Lol ....shocks maybe I'm the only little piggy......

Cool Dani: I ate like a little porker all this past month. I'm even tempted to go on a liquid diet!!!!! I'm going out to the grocery store ...any sugessiots besides apples??

Hey girls: I had my LP on March 06' I hate excercising.. but I found this JAZZERCISE class. You do Pilates,aerobics and weights at the same time. I love it. Hey just to think to go to the gym and on top of aerobics doing weights ...was too much for me. What do you snck on?? Im hungry!!!!

It took guts to post your scars!!!! Mine are now fading. I had my LP March 06" Use neosporin while there are open and CICATRICURE or MEDERMA when they heal!! THe scars will be muuuuuch less noticeable afterwards. Keep it up guys!!! Good job!!!

:thumb: Hey Julie: I got my LP on March 06' when did you get yours??? I'm sure there are other March girls around .....I'll try to find out.

Is there a MARCH BAND CREW? I have seen nov. and Aug.... How can I find out???

OOOOOK Wonderkidsmom: Is good that you ended a relationship that was unhealthy,but what was your part in this "tango" you danced for so many years?? My husband and presently attend and sometimes direct the Recovery Couples Anonymous in our city. As "A.A" we too follow the 12 steps to recovery. What happened that you ended up in this situation??? Blaming the hubby is not enough.You need to find out what is that kept you repeating harmful behaviors that affected you and now your children? (PLease don't take this as an attack ,I'm asking this in the most respectul way, as a mother and as woman). Does your log name ends in "mom" (wonderkidsmom) because after this years the "woman" or "individual" in you faded? PLease find counseling for YOURSELF. Don't blame your husband (as bad as he may be) for decissions that you made at one time. And for the decissions you are making now. Being a woman is a huge blessing. As a woman I understand your pain and as a woman I tell you...blaming others never helped anybody to get out of the bottom of the scum barrel. Make responsible choices my friend. God Bless

Hey guys: I grew up in a very "high and mighty" society..where the way you look is the way you are treated. My mother (who is the queen of diet and fitness) always nagged for me to lose weight..until one day I turned around and told her " Can you imagine how I feel inside for you to be able to see it outside" many of us got to be so heavy because something was (or is) missing in our lives, and we tried to compesate for this with food. Can you imagine dating somebody who wouldn't date you at your heaviest......as soon as you stop meeting his/her espectatives you'll be history.... Yes Lord!!!

Hey Cherg: I asked my Dr. what was happening?? He said sometimes is an accumulation of saliva (extremely thick) and that this creates an "air bag" that somehow "bounces out" whatever goes in. In my case sometimes not even liquids can go in. I did notice that when I threw up clear saliva with a glue-like consistency came up with any liquid I drank.He suggested eat standing up. And try to eat firstand 1/2 hr later drink. Good luck.....
