WELCOME 4 him...tell us a bit about yourself!:clap2: :clap2:

Vikki please send me your personal e-mail so I can send you pics...they are too big for this site and I used a low resolution to shoot it!!

Hi Vikki! It was great to meet yoU! You are so nice and so beautiful!!! I also saw Karen aka Lt8bloomer... we had fun! I just arrived home a few minutes ago and I work the next few days, but I will post my pics soon! Have a great day!

The most important thing it seems is for you to relax. Try meditation, deep breathing, listen to gentle soothing music, eat lean protein and green veggies, especially asparagus as it is a diuretic. If you can get a massage. These are things you need to do on an ongoing basis. Low sodium is important...so as natural as possible. Use sea salt only in moderation...sea salt acts differently in the body. So RELAX...you will be fine...but really DO relax!:notagree

Tom, Yes a picture please!!! We have been begging for months!!!!!!!!! By the way...since this month my weight loss has really slowed down and I will need a fill SOON...plus I had gained from my trip and did lose it again...anyway by slowing down my body has been adjusting and the skin is looking much better...it is not saggins so much and it feels softer.... walking has helped of course, oh and good lotion...shea butter. I am in the midst of my son's wedding...the rehearsal dinner was last night and I pB"D BIG time!!! I tought I was wide open...but I guess the stress, especially sitting with the ex and his wife was just too much for my band! I had the worst PB yet to my history...I actually ended up throwing up ALL of dinner...sorry about the picture...but that had not happened to me yet...but it was an hour of pain and running to the bathroom every 5 minutes and not being able to explain!!!!!!!!!! Oh well...it is mushies and liquids today!

You can call me sometime or private message me... for now make sure everything is as natural as possible and stress is kept to a minimum. Yoga is very ggod also. B complex, calcium/magnesium are important. Good fats also.

Vikki-thanks...I left a message on the other site. Where in CA are you? My son's wedding is in SO CAL so maybe if you are down there we could meet. LilTweety-sorry about the pics...on the other site it seems easier for everyone to see them...maybe you can check my thread there on band2gether.net I am Dr. A there and the thread is Paris pics... By the way I saw your pics...wow! you look great!! Great job!!!!!

MISty please go see your doctor today! You could lose your band if it has slipped and do not do something right now so they can fix the problem.

here is the link! http://photo.walgreens.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=14569454/a=15204163/t_=15204163 I gained Water weight there and you can see it in the pics!:faint:

If you are taking the tiny bites and chewing well and eating slowly...and still PB then please go to the doc right away...the band might have slipped!

Where is everyone????? Hope you are all having a nice weekend. I am trying to get back on track...it is harder than I thought going from eating Paris food to trying to eat really haelthy and small portions again... I have slipped a few times... especially on the sweet treats

Connie Sue ...i have been reading here! WOW! I know how you feel. I agree with Tom, do not back down. He can go tothe prom his Senior year. My son is getting married in a couple of weeks at age 25... I was a bit of a disciplinarian...in a very positive way...but never backed down. I also did alot of positive reinforcement since he was a toddler. It worked! He is great! 17 is a tough age because they think they are adult... but we know better than that. Good luck it will be fne!

Well...since i had gained about 5lbs from my Paris trip I pamicked.... good thing my T.O.M. was around and I got restriction or I am afraid I would have kept on eating french style!:hungry: Anyway...thanks to restriction and the fact that I lost most of that TOM extra water by now I weighed my self and I am down to 185 again!!!!!!!!

I have no fill and I can get stuck especially during my period.

Hi...Sorry no...no updates from me...if someone wants to do it...Great!:clap2:

Thanks, yes I had a great time! i ate a bit much and gained about 3-4 kbs. But it was worth it! I will post pics on yahoo and give you the link later.
