    Back to work...it was very challenging

    Instead of using your mouth to put food in, make good conversation and talk to everyone. That seems to help me. I don't work anymore, retired, but when I am at social gatherings and everyone is shoveling that food in their mouth I am making conversation. Think that you don't need that food, think positive because you are going to be skinny soon. Good luck, Judy
  2. Size 12...........heck I just bought a pair of pants that are 18 20 and I feel so skinny. Size 12, I will probably never see but if I did that would be great but not anything lower than that. I am too old. I just would like size 14 and be under 200 pounds. Have a good night, Judy

  3. Another person that can't sleep. I can't wait to get ont he scales in the morning so I get up when I can really sleep in...LOL Getting this fill is exciting for me too so maybe that is why I am up so early. We are going to NC for 3 weeks on Tuesday so I don't want a full cc, gonna ask for 1/2. Have a nice day you early bird.

    My Story

    Welcome to the lapband world. This site will give you many new friends. When I am typing a lot my husband will asked me who am I talking to and I tell him one of my new friends. And you can get good advise on what not to do or what to do. So again, welcome. Judy

    How to save $13 dollars a week

    Great weight, wish I was under 200. I will get there, this band is working for me and I can not believe how little I eat and feel so full. Friday is my weigh in date and yes, I am down another pound. Wished it was 2 but I will take the one. Have a nice day. Judy

    Mar 25 - 222 days post surgery - 75 pounds gone

    What a nice blog and can't wait until I get there. You inspire me because I was in the 24 and now are much too big and only have one pair of 22's and I refuse to buy anymore so I wear the big ones and when I go out I wear my skinny ones (22). I have a long ways to go but love reading blogs like yours. Judy

    Another unfill (throwing up and the onset of heartburn)!

    You poor thing. I have had the stuck feeling and wanting to throw up but it has not come up yet. Don't give up. Your band will start working for you at some point. And YES, it is not the easy way out. Heartburn is an awful word and finally the past 3 days I have not had it and when I was having it, I thought I was the only one in the world that was suffering with heartburn. Take care and I hope you start feeling better now. Judy

    SLIMING

    OMG, Tuna did that to me too and I even had mayo in it. My husband told me I had it in big chuncks and that is why it happened. Mr know it all but a great support person...LOL. I found that banana's will give me the slimming too. Tried it twice and now no more bananas unless I put them in my shake. You feel like you can not breath when that feeling hits you. It is hard to explain to people that stuck or slimming feeling but I know what you mean. It is so nice to know that you can talk to others about it that go thru the bad stuff but also fun to talk about watching those scales numbers go down. Have a good day. Judy

    9 weeks post-op: Gypsy Life Ends and Wagon-Jumpin Begins

    I don't like needles either and when I was a young girl a very nice nurse told to me to take a deep breath and when she put the needle it I was to blow out my breath. So that is what I told the doctor to let me know when the needle was going in and I would blow out. And it works, did not feel a thing. Sweating, shaking, and all that stuff stopped. So, I DO know how you feel about needles and I am an OLD lady. Have a good day and think thin, Judy

    Its the little things that matter!!!

    Yeah for you and what a great blog you wrote. I can't wait to get that 100 lbs gone from my body. I feel this band is the best thing I every did regarding my weight problems all these years. Keep up the good work. Judy

    First Week Down

    ice in the shake along with the milk and powder..........ice makes it nice and cold yummy, just had a strawberry one and instead of using ice, I used frozen strawberrys/no sugar/ with milk and the powder. I am stuffed................could not eat another thing.
  12. Your doing great. I am down 45lbs as of this morning....yeah for me. I also have not had any bread since my surgery. I do eat box mash potatoes but very little and crackers with my soup. I think I am in my green zone also. This is fun loosing the weight isn't it. Good luck and think skinny............Judy

  13. Sweet Spot......yeah, I am looking for it too but you will get there. I have found after a fill, which I have had only 2, I make sure I can drink a whole bottle of water before I leave the office to make sure stuff goes down. That stuck feeling is awful and you went thru it for 3 days, you poor thing. I don't want that feeling or the slimming feeling. Soup is good to me when I am real hungry.

    6 Days And Made My One Month Goal

    You are doing great but remember you still have to eat even though it is only a couple of bites. I made this pie with small pieces of chicken in creme of chicken soup, mash potatoes over the top with cheese on top of that in a pie dish and baked it. I took small piece like pie and could not eat it all. I got so full so fast. It is amazing how fast I get full. It is great. I use to shovel food in my mouth when I got real hungry, not anymore. I am happy your are under 300 and when you reach that under 250 it will wonderful. My goal is to be under 200 by summer. I hope I can do it and won't stop working for it. Have a nice day and think life, not food. Judy
  15. Thank you for the kind words on my picture. I just figured out how to read them and I had 3. I have a long ways to go but it is a start. No one knows I had the surgery and not one person has said anything to me about my weight lost. But when the bathing suit comes on, I am sure they will notice...........LOL Thanks again, Judy

  16. I just fiigured out how to read my comments on my picture and thank you for the kind words. I have a long ways to go but this journey is well worth it when you get those kind words. Not one person has said anything to me but I have not told anyone I had the surgery. When the bathing suit comes on, I am hoping someone will notice the weight lost....LOL

  17. I just figured out how to read my comments on my picture and I had 3. Thank you for the kind words. I have a long ways to go but I am doing it and yes, my shirt is big but I still can't wear things that feel tight on my. In time. Thanks again. Judy

  18. It will work for you but plan on it going slow and working very hard for it. In the long run it is worth it. You are much younger than me and remember it is for life and food is NOT your life.

    Good luck, Judy

  19. Oh yes, the gurgling sounds. My husband says it sounds like a clogged drain but I like to hear it cause I know the food is going down. I was told my two doctors that I should not be getting heartburn........well, they are WRONG. Even water for me does it too. I go for my next fill the 31st and I am going to ask more questions. But I love my band because I am loosing weight. I am shrinking.

    Lord have mercy on my soul

    Yes it is a journey and you must think positive. I weigh myself on Fridays and this Friday I was up a pound but this morning, Saturday I was down 2 lbs. Yeah for me. So the only one that you are doing this for is yourself and you know you can do it. Rough at times but like Shonette says....just do it.......................
  21. Heart burn ..............wow, do I get that and they told me to slowly get off my nexium but it is not working. If I don't take it at least every other day, I have to go for the tums which makes me have the full feeling. Do you get heartburn????
