Well I successfully made it well into the 80's for my mom's birthday today. This will be a difficult day for me and for my whole family. I take comfort in knowing that something she sacrificed greatly for me to have is working and I am working it. She would have been 63 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM I LOVE YOU!

You Mom would be proud of you Molly, just like we are! You're doing great!

Congratulations Molly! I'm sure you're Mom is proud of your accomplishments and the fact that you're taking action to prolong your own life by living a healthy lifestyle.

Keep up the great work!:clap2:

Molly, I'm sure your mom is watching your accomplishments with pride. Keep doing what you're doing!

Thanks everyone

Today was a hard day, who am I kidding it was horrible. I am feeling better after sharing my feelings. I was able to get in all my protien today, yay, despite not really wanting to eat. Food has become a chore, who would have thunk it. Maybe one day I won't even need to track what I eat, I'll just know whereabouts I am at from severe repetition. Tomorrow my hubby says he is taking me out to Old Country Buffet (we have a g.c.) for dinner So knowing what they have I mapped out what I am going to eat ahead of time so I don't have to fret over the choices at the buffet line. I am choosing the baked halibut and a small salad without the needless calories of sunflower seeds, lol. I am gonna have the ranch dressing though . We are gonna pay what like $8 for me to eat $2 worth of food but oh well, it's a g.c. so who cares, lol.

Thanks everyone

The Dr that I am going to have do my band gives you a card that says you have a lapband. It's to be used at buffets and such, so some of the businesses let you have the childs price.

Yeah I have one too somewhere, lol. We don't normally go outto eat let alone to buffet's and since it's agift certificate I am not gonna hunt it down Besides with my luck I'd spnd half the day looking for it and then they would be one of the places that doesn't honor it, lol. Believe me if it was our money I'd be finding my card and taking it and demanding that they give me the childs price.

Okay I am down two more.

Have fun at the buffet! You should be proud of yourself for having a good plan of attack in mind before even entering the place...great idea!

Well, I had an appointment with my doctor on Thursday and I got another small fill. Amazingly I have awesome restriction. I am tight enough that normal to small size portions completely satisfy me but not so tight that I have trouble drinking Water. I'm real hesitant to say it but...I might have found my sweet spot! I've got good restriction and I wouldn't want to be any tighter so I'm assuming this means I hit the mother lode! LOL! Now it's just a matter of waiting to see if it sticks. If so that would be AWESOME!

Yay, LapBandit :clap2:

I hope this is the right spot for you :eek:, I can never tlel for at least a week caues my swelling lasts forever after a fill, lol.

Good job Babygrl :eek: wahoo, you are doing great!

As for my buffet, heres how it went. I skipped the salad bar as I was feeling a little tight today, so I had my halibut and I had a tiny little thing of spinache quiche, and 2 tiny bites of stuffing (hehe, wanted to try it) and two bites of my DH meatloaf. I decided that since we were going out I was gonna have desert so I went for the no bake style cheesecake with a couple of cherries on top. All in all, I am in bounds for my calories and I got in all my protien. I still need a few more calories and my daily dose of Calcium so tonight I will have sf hot cocoa made with milk for a snack

Waterlily, green peppers are difficult for me, too. They're hard to chew up completely.

I've never come to this thread before, but I'm on my way to TWOterville as well.

That's great derbygirl welcome I really need to change the title of our thread to include traveling through Twoterville, lol. We have all loved each others support so much that everyone just sticks around, which is fabulous. Right now we have a tax day challenge going on, if you scroll up a bit from this post you will find the most recent chart. If you feel like joing in great and if not thats ok too. Everyone here is or was once in the tri cities (300's) and some of us exited not so long ago, lol, so there is a wealth of infrmation and support with these ladies in how to succeed

OK it's my official weigh in day Wahoo a total of 3lbs this week I am definitely off track for my goal, but who cares I am making great progress

Welcome Derbygirl!

Three pounds in a week is FABULOUS!! Keep it up Molly!

I'm thinking my Tax Day challenge is a bit steep too...I'm not sure it's possible to reach it. I will reach it eventually but I'm not going to get depressed if I don't hit it on time! I'm just gonna try like h*ll though!

Yeah, I've still got good restriction but it feels like things loosened up a bit today. I'm weird like that though...one day I'm fine the next I feel tighter.
