Feeling kind of down when I know I shouldn't be...
This probly wont help Buttt I promise it gets better. Keep up with your pain Meds and rest / walk a little and rest. Please just let yourself heal for the next few weeks. Dont worry about any thing but healing. When you are feeling better you can start working on your weight, Now just take care of yourself and let your body heal. Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon.

End of Year Challenge
Im down one pound. Went to my Primary/GYN Dr. for my yearly exame and the first thing she said to me was, so I see you have lost over 50 lbs since last year. I said yes I have LOL. any way I had not told her about the lap band.( last year she was not for it wanted me to keep tying to do it on my own. "yea right". Any way She was very very happy with my results and is now working with me on blood test through out the year to make sure every thing is good while I continue to loose my weight. This made me feel good about myself. I am not very good at that emotion. So I was wondering should we do a spreadsheet for the end of the year. It really seems to help me keep on track. I have no idea how to do it. So maybe Betsy or Leighanne or one of you very smart peeps could set it up. I also think we should make the last day on Jan 3 its the first monday of the year. Just an Idea!!!!! Im up for what ever you guys want to do.... Thanks for all the support.. 3/11/10

Cheeseburgers
You guys are killing me LOL Cheese burgers were my thing. The bread is no longer an option for me. We were in Lake Havasu last month and of course we had to go to in and out burger. We dont have them at home. One bite of the burger and bread and off to the bathroom I went. So at the end of the trip on the way home (9 hrs drive). we stoped and I ordered it some style any way it means no bun. Slowly but surley I was able to eat it. Probly wont have any thing like that for a long time. One thing I have noticed is that when you dont eat the bread from things. And you look at you plate I think wow what if all that was in my stomach. Then I am sooooo glad I didnt put it in. Any way no more cheeseburger post guys just kiddin.

End of Year Challenge
I would love to be a part. My goal is to be 215 on New Years Day. That would put me at the weight I was when I got pregnant with my daughter Uhhhh 15 years ago. OMG thats a long time. I have been a little worried, as last saturday I had a pbing epesode. Then by Monday it seemed I could eat more than before, as if restriction was alot less. I feel fine and scheduled a fill. Of course you read all the stuff on here about Slippage. and your mind goes crazy with fear. I think I am good and just need a fill. Any way this should be fun. Good luck to all of us. Looking forward to a great New Year. 2.33 lbs a week better hit the Gym more.

Need help!!
First of all I hope yours breast cancer is in full remission. You are not a failure. You have spent the last year battling for your life I would not call that a failure . You are a hero in my eyes. As for getting back on track if you are hungry all the time you need a fill. Resintx how does your Dr. know if you are in the green zone? hopefully others will see this post and help you get going again. Remember to love yourself you are a survivor.
