I too am guilty of reading and not posting much....my bandiversary is the 28th of Feb....I too have been in a slump/frump lately....job hunting and cabin fever is not a GOOD combo...hopefully things will turn around soon....

WINTER Exercise program for 2008 Y ou might want to take it easy at first, then do it faster as you become more proficient. It may be too strenuous for some. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program! SCROLL DOWN... </S PAN> NOW SCROLL UP.. That's enough for the first day. Great job. Have a chocolate. :wink:

Just bumping ....the old thread was way too long!:wink:

...if thats ok??? :)

I had my 2 yr quit anniversary yesterday and while the weight gain is what made me consider and go for banding, overall, it was one of the best things I did...I feel so much better....My band doc told me also quitting smoking made me a better candidate for the band...showed stick-to0-it-teveness....thats probably spelled wrong!!! Keep us posted and Good Luck...the first 2 weeks were rough and I think what kept me going was not having to start over again by "slipping"....make a "mantra" N=not O=ONE N=NOT E=EVER:clap2:

I had a squall jacket that I bought 3 yrs ago and it was always too tight and the zipper was either never working right or couldn't gracefully go around my "girth"...so I really hadn't worn it in 2 yrs....In November we were going to a Notre Dame game and I washed it and it fit, well, but turns out the zipper really WAS broken...I wrote to them to see if it could be repaired, they said send it in, they would replace or refund my $$...So I did, and for 6.00 for shipping, they sent me a BRAND new jacket, which fits great and was back to me in 4 days....then the other day was looking for my sunglasses....couldn't find them in the car...lo and behold on my front porch when I got home was a box from Land's End...I had left the shades in the jacket pocket...and they sent them back.....they rock!!!:clap2:

...but am a administrative assistant LOOKING for a position in the Elgin Il area.....if you know of any, please let me know!!!!:roll:

And it definitely helps with keeping track of what I am eating and the weekly weigh ins keep me posted as to what I am doing...my weight at Dr's office is slightly different than WW's so the amount I am down keeps getting confusing-but at least it's DOWN....You may not be able to eat all your points...just be sure to get your water in and try on the fruits and veges....for the most part, I don't recommend coming "out" about the band at the meetings or on their boards.....:spit:

and my grand total as of today is 36 lbs....not great but it's a loss not a gain!!!:rain:

but OMG, read the comments.....I can't believe how many ignorant RUDE people are out there...:rain:

with the silicone bubble and all, was very weird....I got the papaya enzyme at the Vitamin Store....it helps usually, luckily I was at home last night also, my demise was an eggroll and chinese food...which I was really looking forward to....but after 3 strikes, I was out...thanks for the laugh Strawarts:puke:

Did anyone ever hear this...my boss was saying that a paramedic once told her you should put your REAL weight on your drivers license, in the event of a accident and they have to give you meds based on your weight, they would go by the weight on your DL....makes sense in a way, but I am gonna DIE!!! LOL

Hi-I was also banded on 2/28/07 and am finally down 19.9...just had my 4th fill last Thursday-I now have 8cc in 10cc band...I almost think I am too tight right now, everything solid is a struggle....but I hesitate to get unfilled, I've lost 5 lbs in 3wek...my doc won't be in for fills until Tuesday-I guess I'll tough it out til then and decide....hang in there....

Mine has told me before, that the band is fine -"balloon is ok"....unless he's talking about my stomach!!!!!

I am at about 16 lbs since 2/28/07...will go for my 4th fill on Thursday-I am at 7cc in a 10cc band now...feeling fuller, just not soon enough I guess...

Somebody want to HOLD HIM, while I smack him???? Just kidding ya Matt...just taking a chance spouting smack in a room full of CRABBY HUNGRY WOMEN!!!! I am very crabby this week also...I get a fill on Thursday!

And I really think I am feeling restriction now....woohoo....

I am jsut over 2 months out and have only noticed this past 2 weeks...anybody else????:blah:

Oh one other thing, I noticed blood in my BM this morning. Should I be concerned? I've had been blocked up but I've been drinking prune juice for a few days now. I also had this a couple days after surgery-I was giving myself blood thinner injections post-op and was told those may have caused that. Also while IN the hospital, they would not let me have RED Jello, so as to avert the appearance of blood in stools...it only lasted a day or 2:nervous
