  1. Happy 59th Birthday Giby97!

  2. Happy 58th Birthday Giby97!

  3. Traveled yesterday to get my 5th Fill. 8.5 cc in a 10 cc band. 4.5 hours traveling there for a 15 min appointment. Then return home WOW

  4. Thank you for the nice comment on my blog. Yes chew is the word we all have to learn. Salad.....I have not tried that yet. I am really afraid the lettuce will get stuck. Second fill will be 1 week from today. Again thanks, I enjoyed reading about you. Judy

  5. Hey all bandsters, do you like this site. I liked the old one which was more user friendly. Now have to learn this one. Good luck all.

  6. Hello All Bandsters. It's been a while...like 4 mos since I talked to anyone. Lost about 40#s but actually need another fill. I contemplated loosing on my own but had been maintaining between 103 and 109 kg's Started at 123.1. Now I need my next fill which is Monday 21 Feb 11. The cold months sure puts a damper on appetites. Gearing up for some serious weight loss now. READY AGAIN.

  7. Can't figure out this new site...liked the old one, easy and friendly. Second Year for me, shooting for another 50 pounds.

  8. Have been pretty busy and of course sick. Getting better now. Had a great time at home in Virginia. It's getting cold here in Korea. Planning another trip to see my doc to get another fill, will be my 5th. I have 7 cc in a 10 cc band. Just got an invite by my doc on fb, so now were in touch. Looks like I had sent some business his way. Looking forward to loosing another 50 #s.

  9. How are you doing? I haven't seen any posts lately, although you did respond to one of my blogs. Let us know how you are doing.

    Fat Jokes Continue

    You could do two things: 1) ignore them or 2) you could let them know that what they are saying is not right in the workplace. If it persists after try approaching the supervisor. If it gets to where the supervisor does nothing, you have the option to voice an Equal Opportunity Complaint--whalla. After all their actions makes you feel uncomfortable. Nowadays we do not tolerate that kind of behavior in the workplace. Straight and to the point.

    fear of gain it back

    Don't worry, stay cool and be patient as it's a long term process. You will have pleateau's and they will pass, as I have had and still. I lost 3 kg's but gained it back after 20 days, but it's a focus thing and patience. Rem that when you loose fat, it turns to muscle-gain. Be patient stay the course and you will see. For me it's back to the basic's: liquids, mushies, and solids. Maybe another fill, my 5th. I have 7 cc's in a 10 cc band. Don't worry too much. Enjoy

    Don't understand why I can't lose..?

    Don't worry, it will start dropping, we all reach a stagnation in weight loss but it works, hang in there. I went two weeks before I began to loose, stick with the diet and exercise. remember fat turns to muscle which still has weight. It takes time. My average loss per month has been 5#s since 4 Jan 10. It's a long term process so just hang in there.

    A New Life

    Yes your not alone. Everyone diet's a little different. Eat meat high in protein: fish, chicken, beef, etc. Chew them up. I had to eat beef by cutting it up with scissors into smaller bite sizes, it works. Follow the lap band diet, liquids, mushies, and solids. And if you find yourself running astray, go back to this diet plan, it keeps me on track. I have even tested my band to the limit on purpose, yes it works. Stay positive and be patient--you will loose the #s.
