just wanted to say Hi to Alexandra - haven't "seen" you for ages and hoping you're ok - missing all your good advice here - Have you gone into hiding to watch the new Lord of the Rings movie over and over????!!!

take care, and know you're missed!

Hey Bright! Thanks so much for thinking of me. Only part of my absence is due to the miracle that is ROTK. (Two times and counting...) ;) You know how life can just go crazy sometimes, especially with kids.

I'm so thrilled that this site is hopping; I've been lurking with dedication and reading almost every message. :D But there's just not so much going on with me, band-wise, so I'm hanging on the sidelines.

No news is definitely good news, though! My weight has been hovering within two pounds of what you see below, and I'm just thrilled it's not been a hassle to keep it there. And all of a sudden, as I mentioned elsewhere, my restriction has suddenly reappeared and that's fine with me too. Maybe I'll get to change my signature before too much longer.

Happy holidays, Bright, and thanks again!!

Hi Bright and Alexandra

Funny. As I signed on tonight I was thinking the same thing - i.e. haven't heard from Alexandra in a while.

Glad you're OK - and keeping up with a positive attitude - even if you're a bit at a plateau.

Happy Holidays to both of you.

Mary

funny...I have been reading and watching everything that has been going on,too...just not saying much. It seems like we work so hard to get our band- worry, fret, think, research, etc...then we get it and it's like...oh...back to regular life!

I am hovering, too Alexandra...but get a second fill on the 29th. I am hoping that jump starts my loss again...but like you- it hasn't been this insane battle to keep off what I have lost. What a feeling.

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday and that the next year brings you your hearts desires!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
