Tom, if you have a cell phone with a camera, you could stand in front of a full length mirror and take a picture of yourself. Just a suggestion! People should just mind their own business, shouldn't they? About your weight, I mean. Did those same people tell you that you were too fat when you weighed more? Some people are just very insensitive without even knowing it I guess. I work with a girl who weighs about 95 pounds, and it amazes me the number of people who tell her that she is too skinny. No one ever told me I was too fat, so why do they think it's okay to say that to her? And she's very sensitive about it, because she is trying to gain weight--the girl definately eats--she was just blessed with one of those speedy metabolisms. I hate her a little for that!

Guess what guys.....I got to meet Dr. A yesterday. It was so cool. We met at the Orange Circle which was having a big car show. We had breakfast outside and walked around looking at the beautiful classic cars. It was so neet to meet someone from this page. She took some pictures with her digital camera so when she sends them to me I will post them. She is such a cool person. We discussed our Band adventure and shared stories. We would love to set up a Vegas trip or something for us to meet each other. It was really cool!!!! I hope all of you are doing well. I love to see pictures of everyone's progress. It is really an incentive to keep on truckin....if you know what I mean. Talk to ya all later!!

Hi Vikki!

It was great to meet yoU! You are so nice and so beautiful!!! I also saw Karen aka Lt8bloomer... we had fun! I just arrived home a few minutes ago and I work the next few days, but I will post my pics soon!

Have a great day!

Vikki please send me your personal e-mail so I can send you pics...they are too big for this site and I used a low resolution to shoot it!!

I am back, after another stint in the hospital. It seems as if my dr put a medium band in me, and it probably should have been a large. So, if I am not VERY careful, I start to throw up, and then my stomach swells, and I end up completely obstructed. What a mess, right? Well, not really, even with all this, I still think this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I love my band.. eventhough it is a medium. What I am trying to do right now is just get thru the next 3 weeks of school, and then I will have my band taken out and replaced with a larger band. I have no saline in there now, and still have problems. It is tough. But, I am looking HOT!!! I am down 75 lbs!!! It amazes me.

Of course I am on soft foods and will stay there for the remained of the semester. I am scared. If I have to get one more potassium drip, someone will die!!! ( maybe a nurse... but probably Dr. Pucci!):omg:

Have a great day guys!

Misty

Wow, Misty--that sucks. I guess the silver lining is all the weight you have lost, but it sucks that you can't eat normal food. Hopefully, after you get your new band, everything will be better. Hang in there!

WELCOME 4 him...tell us a bit about yourself!:clap2: :clap2:

Gorgeous picture, you guys!! And the best part: the words "fat", "heavy" and "over-weight" never entered my mind.... you just look like two cute, average-weight women, out having a good time!! Must feel good, huh? A terrific picture---thanks for including it here!

Vikki---I hope we get to meet someday..... Ventura County is not that far from Orange County!

Angela---I really enjoyed our fun lunch date...let's chat soon!!

Way to go, you two!!

Karen

Thanks Karen, It was nice to meet Angela. I am setting up a meeting in June for locals if you want I could add you to my distribution list. We have people from all over such as San Diego to Santa Monica that might join for a meeting. I was thinking downtown Disney is a good central location. If you are interested send me a message to vikki4mymail@yahoo.com and I will add you. I think that it would be great to get a group together to share stories and support.

Happy Friday to all!!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend and I am still waiting to break this platue I am in.........UUGGGGGGGGGGG

banded 11/29/06

Well hello everyone. I can't believe I haven't checked in in so long and there were hardly any posts! Where is everyone? Well I made it down to 218...Next stop, 200's then ONEDERLAND! Chugging along. I have been doing well since my last fill. I have had 3. I think Im at 6-7. If I eat fast or certain food I throw up and I get full easily SOOOO, I guess Im where I should be. It still amazes me tho that I can still fit alot of food in there if I eat slowly....My whole outlook on food has changed. Trust me I still love it! But, it isn't the center of my entertainment and joy. I usually don't care what or where we eat where before it was like an obsession. I just can't wait to be thin dang it!

Hope all is well with everyone. Im so jealous you will all be meeting but I am totally on the other coast in FLORIDA.
