  1. I'm in central Arlington.
  2. 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.
  3. I walk and do other cardio.
  4. don't think so on carbs, but no on sweets and not drinking the calories either.....confusing isn't it?
  5. 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
  6. 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?
  7. Just trying to find out if there is anyone in Arlington and if they would like to be a buddy. Let me know.
  8. 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?
  9. I got my 2nd fill today. I have the small band and at my first fill they put in 2cc and I had absolutely no restriction. Today they saw there was about 1.6cc still in the band and they added more, so I now have 3cc. I'm on liquids for the next 24 hours. I can hear/feel a gurgling when I drink, so I hope I get some restriction this time.
  10. I'm in Arlington, where are you?
  11. 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.
  12. that is very reasonable, i'll have to definitely look into that
  13. 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.
  14. Ok, sad but true statement...I have never rode a bike in my life. Not even as a kid. My doctor is in Carrollton, he was referred by a co-worker and he is wonderful. The doctor in Arlington did not accept our insurance. I think that park may be where or at least close to where my son played soccer last year.
