Today is two months for me too! Keep up the good work!

I agree with mamasugar, taking drastic measures maybe the motivation he needs. He will continue to drink as long as he can. He knows that he has support if he decides to get help. Now you need to take care of you and your children. You will be in my prayers.

I like that you tell your honest opinion. You are good at doing it without seeming bossy. Don't change!

I understand telling everyone about Lap Band. If someone says something about my wieght lost, I fell obligated to tell them I had Lap Band. It's like I feel dishonest if I don't tell them.

Have you encouraged your husband to get help such as treatment? Addiction is not something that you can just stop without an intervention- we know that, we had to have weight loss surgery to work on our food addiction.

Thank you for your comments. I have not had a a DC since 7/26/10 and I do not intend to have one. I just needed to vent and be reminded that I need to follow the rules for a reason.

He is going to have to know sooner or later and it might be worse if you wait too long. If he is being open with you and finds out you are holding back a major thing then he might be hurt. Besides, if he can't understand then he is not the right guy for you anyways.

Why would band slippage be a concern? Sound like just an overfill.

I hope your appt goes well!

Congrats on your band! I was banded on 7/28. The weight loss will come - just stay on track! If you are like me, you were steadily gaining to this point and you have put a stop to that!

As far as fills go, I had first one last week. I am TERRIFIED of needles and it was fine! they did not numb me and it wasn't needed anyways. I told my husband that I didn't feel any pain - just weirdness. Kind of like when you go in for a Ob-Gyn appt or prenatal and they are pushing around your abdomen to feel your ovaries. That is the best I can come up with as a comparison.

WOW!! Great job!

Nectar is great! I love the Twisted Cherry!

I'm in Kansas and I am having surgery at 10:00am on July 28th, too!!!! I am getting scared but there it no turning back!

I am going to start off on the Wii Fit (step aerobics and boxing). I may need to look into the P90X though.
