If we had no joy, no ray of sunshine, we would have no hope for better times.

Please don't feel bad about posting good stuff. Like wavey said...we all need to be reminded about other's accomplishments it helps us remember we were there once and can be there again hopefully. Congrats on the eating right, thats half the battle, its the part I'm struggling with right now...counting on yall giving me a good kick in the arse. And congrats on the house...I'm so jealous. I so want a new house, but it is no way in the budget right now. We are also terrified that our house hasnot risen in value any and that we might in fact have over paid for it so that it will be near impossible to sell later and get anything out of it. We have actually talked about eventually renting it...and buying another property, but that would require me to work full time, and we have college to pay for in 4 years. Man I am a whiney butt aren't I lol.

Spent the whole morning at the high school ....we got there at 9 and were number 273 in the que for schedule changes. Needless to say we were there till around 12. Going back out to meet teachers in a few minutes.

Karen and Jill are going to give us old bandster a run for our money. hehe... you two are doing great. Keep up the good spirits and great weight loss. I love the newly banded.....

Melissa - girl we all go through the funk. I think for me when I was suppose to go through I started working at Dr V's. I can't go through a funk I have to stay with it and keep it on my mind...Hang in there girl do what you need to do but whatever it is don't beat yourself up over it.

Well have a great night...sorry I am not posting much trying to keep up with my cousin and all is really tough. But it's all so worth it.

I posted this in the main boards, but can you drink to fast?

What happens? does it hurt?

Im trying to see if I am drinking to fast or if I am gulping some air.

I feel some pressure, not bad, doesnt hurt, but feels like i really need to burb. Some times I do, sometimes I hiccup and one of those will make the feeling go away.

Congrats Karen! We finally got an offer on the spec house. Should be under contract today or tomorrow. Feels good!

Wavy...yes, you can drink too fast. It can hurt, or it can just feel like pressure and a burp or hiccup makes it go down and you feel better. These are the signals you need to learn. Your band is saying "whoa! go easy on me!" so take smaller sips. It's interesting, huh?

Its a learning curve, thats for sure.

I definatly have that "hiccup as a soft stop" thing.

I about cried for joy when it happened. I told my husband, we were both excited. :)

Jill-I get the hick-ups constantly. Everyone laughs including me when they happen.

How are you guys. None of us have been on here in days.

Kathy-I also made Kim wait, so don't feel bad about me.

Karen-what a beautiful house! I hope you can sell yours. That is the exact type of house I want someday.

Kim-I'm sure that whenever is good for her they will work it out. I don't even know what day it falls on but I'm sure evenings work out.

My little Lucy is scaring me I have tons pf people praying for her. I have to take her to the vet at 10:40 this morning to make sure she doesn't have a blockage! DS and I had to give her an enama around 12:30 last night. WOW that was not easy poor puppy.

I'll keep you posted as to how she's doing.

Diane sorry to see that about Lucy...I sure hope she is better.

I've had trouble logging on to lapband talk the last few days. Or more specifically getting into the forums.

I saw Diane the nutritionist today. She gave me a two week plan to try, if after a week i'm getting stuck still then I'll make an appointment to see about an adjustment. I actually think she thinks part of it is in my head...hey maybe it is....because sometimes I can eat. But she did suggest those mini Bagels for Breakfast......I haven't been able to eat bread that early since surgery.

Kristen had a seizure Friday night, and Dad had surgery today. He came out of it fine and we are hoping they find that is was non malignent. I'm having cake and ice cream tonight...then starting Dianes plan in the morning. No coffee unless I eat breakfast...sigh. And then decafinated....sigh, whats the point.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
