Oh man lakegirl, I feel for you. I have messed up my ribs before and it was awful. And I can relate about the not working out...I can't workout at this time and it has been slow losing weight, but you work with what you have! Looking forward to you joining our club of onderlanders - the more the merrier! Get better soon!!!

Ouch on the ribs! Maybe you need to get taped up.

Nope. they don't do the tape anymore since it can lead to pneumonia...not much you can do but pain relievers and they don't help much because with each breath you aggravate it more. My heart goes out to ya lakelady. I asked for a bandage or tape when I had my fall...that is the only reason I know this wonderful cocktail party info tidbit LOL!!

Although I have lost about 60 pounds, I am just now seeing the weight loss. I've had ups and downs as we all have...and I have an appointment tomorrow with the doc. I can't exercise at this time, but wish I could as I know this would speed everything up. I have tried to get to 199 for soooooo long. I have been going up a few pounds and down a few. But so happy to have reached this spot at last!! I am finally starting to see a difference in the way my clothes feel and I feel a bit lighter!!

I keep you all in my prayers and have been so thankful for everyone's advice. I still don't know what the sweet spot is, but I am not getting as many nights of getting sick. Funny thing is that I can eat a lot of salad, but hard Protein is more difficult for me. Thank goodness for cheese!! I am joyous today!

Congrats!!! I am currently at 204.4 and am realy wanting to see 200, let alone 199! I started out weighing 245 and can now buy new clothes. I basically went straight from 20/22 to 18 (for only a few weeks) and jumped to 16, where I am now. But when I see myself in the hundreds again and get into a size 14, I am going to go wild.

We are doing it!!! Keeping the faith...you go girl!!!

Hey Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep me posted on how you are doing! You will go nuts when you hit 199ver the moon! It provides you with even more motivation! Congrats on your success too! I am so happy for you. I get so excited to see people doing well. This banding isn't easy, at least not for me, so I am o. I can't really see a difference yet and only a couple of people have commented. They say that until you lose 50 pounds, people don't notice and with me, that's true. Just now starting to see a change in clothing and it feels good. I've worked so hard for this and nobody knows about my surgery except me and my surgeon, so it has been hard, not being able to share the good times and the bad.
