Thanks Alex! Sometimes we all need to be reminded of rules!

Yay! for NSV's!

See add under Alex's post. Karen

Hi folks, 3 1/2 years veteran. Alex asked me to be part of the Big Lapband Book. If you have it, you will see me in there under Karen from Florida!

Good NSV!! Love that you can climb without trbl.

How I loved G L O R I A!!!One of my favorites when I wen to dances at the University! I was, also, a great Beach Boys fan, and loved Jan & Dean. Sad when "dead mans curve" killed the duet! I still listen to the "oldies". My husband likes some that I dodn't care for, tho'!

Call your surgeon's office. You might have a slip! Good luck

he wrote me,too! I responded, no and deleted his message! Poor fool, dose she think we were born yesterday?

They will probably cancel, sorry. Did you contact the office?

If he is that skinny, he needs your help!!!!Haha! :ph34r:

The amazing shrinking woman! Great NSV!

You're kidding right? You should have seen the big difference before taking the pictures. But since you did not, we can see a huge difference. You are looking great! Wait until you can't find yourself in the store overhead mirrors! 1st time that happened to me, I laughed! It was the same day my daughter couldn't find me in the store aisles. how fun! Great pictures, and keep up, you are doing a great job!

Congrats!!

Looking good Cheryl! Big difference there! Congrats to you!!!

Excellent!! And you are beautiful! Big difference in that weight loss. You must lose in your face 1st!!!Karen

Go ahead, you will look like the black and white drawing before you know it! congrats on your weight loss. Karen

Yeah! Go shopping for new pants!

I wore the gown, and socks, but bought slippers from home to walk around in. My hospital hospitality people gave us robes, and other stuff, so we had a robe to wear, and I pushed my IV up/down the hall. However, even though the whole area was bariatric patients, I don't recall seeing others walking around. My roommate was in bed the whole time, maybe got up to pee! She was a lot sicker than I was.

Congrats on the weight loss success, Futureskinnykathy! Sounds like you need anew name! Amazing, maybe! Karen

Thanks guys, that's all I have to say!!

Drink some Special K protein water or other clear liquids. Have some sugar free jello. You are not starving! You have head hunger, and the stomach growling is just its way of getting rid of gases etc. You will survive! We all did! YOU can do it too! Take the good advice of LJCBF, he is a very wise person! God luck! Karen

Wow! 2 cups of food is a lot. I cant eat more than a cup. If I do, I will get stuck! If you are actually eating 2 cups at dinner, you might need a fill, but I would wait until after my vacation. Karen

Congratulations to you all for taking the New Year "by the horns". You all have taken the 1st steps to controlling your weight gains. We are here for you, welcome back and best wishes to you all. Food is an addiction, we can't go "cold turkey" and be completely off, that is probably the hardest part of this addiction. We need to control our addiction with the help of great lapband tool.

I agree, that is a small amount, but I bet it can help. I had .5 cc removed and that helped me, so adding a small amount will probably help, also.

I loved the prep that the 6 month diet gave me. I think we that have had to go thru it do get a boost. I, also, got a correct mindset and tried tochange my eating habits. It was the 6 months that got me started on eating on a salad plate with smaller forks. Karen
