I'm in central Arlington.

Thanks for all the info, I will put some of it into practice and keep on trying. I'll find a common connection between my band and I and get it to working.

I walk and do other cardio.

don't think so on carbs, but no on sweets and not drinking the calories either.....confusing isn't it?

between 1200-1800 calories a day; i can eat chicken or steak if i chew really well and eat really slowly; exercise about an hour 3 days a week; and i was instructed to wait about 30-45 min to drink

I am definitely a slow loser. Banded June 6, 2007 and I have lost (drumroll please) 10lbs. Yes, ladies and gentlemen that is all. I have 3.8cc in a 4cc band and plenty of restriction, still nada. My doctor is not sure either because my band is working properly, I'm eating properly and exercising. Any suggestions?

Just trying to find out if there is anyone in Arlington and if they would like to be a buddy. Let me know.

I'm in Arlington. Where are you? Is there anyone else in Arlington Texas that would want to try to get together to work out?

I'm in Arlington, where are you?

I went for a conference last year and stayed at the Bally's hotel. It's mid-strip and I think it was fairly expensive. I didn't have any fun because I didn't know anyone there. I'm willing to go next year. Keep me updated.

I just told them I had to have a procedure done. I'm not one that gives out a lot of personal information so they didn't ask. I didn't tell them specifically because I don't want to have to deal with the 'how much have you lost' inquiries on a regular basis. When I lose weight I will tell them how because there are several others that could benefit from it.

I would definitely let her know about the hand surgery. I would not tell her about the band surgery. One because she does have such a negative attitude, Two because it's none of her business. One thing you do need to do is not let her get to you; you need to be in the right frame of mind for surgery and don't need to be upset because someone else is having a tantrum. Do what's right for you and just try to ignore her and her pissy moods. Let us know how you're doing.

Same to you.

You should have told him to kiss your fat butt. At least you're not out there begging people to set you up on dates. What is his problem that he's not man enough to find a date on his own? Maybe he's too lazy to put in the work for himself. Just ignore him, he's an ass.

Good luck and yes please let us know how you're doing.
