OMG, I am soooo happy!!!!! I have the biggest smile on my face today! I told a few friends at work that the day I came in wearing a dress, they would know I had lost 100 lbs. (I always wear jeans to work.) Well, today was the magic day!

Hi - thanks so much for reply - it came across my e-mail. But how do I go in and access replies to me. I can't quite figure this thing out. I have a reply from Hummingbird and don't know how to retrieve it. Thanks for the help and for your positive message.

Can you eat regular food after a certain time - ?:smile2:

Go to the upper right-hand corner of the LapBand Talk page, where your login name is. It should say, Welcom, shurtado. Underneath that is a link to Private Messages. Click on that link and it will take you right there.

You can eat any food you want, but it's just like any diet, you have to consider which foods are really best for you. As you'll see in my PM, I made a huge change in what I ate. No white sugar, no white carbs. But not everyone does that. You do what you know you can live with. :thumbup:

CONGRATULATIONS! Ann you look amazing, What an accomplishment.

Thank you, Laura Lane & Rebecca!

Again, thank you, everyone! Your encouragement is what has kept me going this whole time. You all are great! :smile2:
