Happy Birthday! How are you feeling today? I am doing much better. My throat is just a tad sore but I'm gonna make it.

I ate too many Cookies yesterday. Someone brought in a big assorted tray. Oh, the guilt is going to kill me! I still have 3 cookies hidden away in my drawer....oh dear...somebody stop me!

So, I've managed to drop back to my low of 190 from 198 in early Dec after I was loosened. Hopefully I'll break into the 180s next week. In the meantime, I'm scheduled for a very small fill on the 20th. I like where I'm at for a maintenance point, and I'll have the doc record my current fill amount for later use.

Frankly, making it through Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years without gaining 20 lbs will be a massive victory. 2 holidays down already.

Weazer...

Thanks for the B-day greetings. It definitely was a quiet one.

I can't tell if I'm getting a real light case of this bug, or if it's just slow in coming. My tummy's slightly on edge, and I have a headache, hopefully that will be all.

I have found that most of the bugs my family has brought home have mostly passed me by. I'm eating more healthy and taking Vitamins, so maybe I'm fighting them off better than before...I used to get everything my kids brought home.

Manatee...

You're doing great! To loose anything this time of year is a HUGE accomplishment. I've been playing with the same pound all week...but will all the parties & such I'm just glad not to be going up! Sounds like you've got a great feel as to where your "sweet spot" is, that's great!

Sue,

Happy belated birthday. Hopefully you'll get your nice dinner sometime soon, when you and hubby are feeling up to it! You want to be able to enjoy without a funny tummy. Sounds like some nasty stuff going around, I think I'll get back on the Vitamins, I've been slacking. Been slacking on the Water too, now that I think on it. Guess what? Everyone seems to be doing so great during this Holiday season. I don't know about you, but I know that I usually put on a few this time of year! So far, so good.

Melissa, how do you like your new do? Can't wait to see a pic.

Take care everyone

Cindy

Sue11,

How ya feeling. I was starting to feel better yesterday..but this morning my throat hurts and I am a bit nauseated. I was this close to not coming in today...but my guilt overroad my need to ly in the bed.

Hope your feeling better.

Hi Cindy! Merry Christmas! I love not gaining wght this time of year. To actually feel pretty is sooo nice! We do have to drink our Water though..I am lacking in that area too. My skin is drying out because of the inside heat...so I need to up my water. Thanks for the reminder..I am going to go get some right now.

Manatee, you are just doing fantastic! Yahoo for you! Wow, we are all doing great!

Blessings to all the May 2007 Banders!

HI everyone! I just wanted to come on and say HI! I was banded on 05/10/07 and have been feeling like i haven't been doing as well as i should...i was at the doc today and got a .50 fill...because i only lost 3 lbs in 2 months. Although i have every excuse in the book for why i can't seem to get my ass in the gym...My b-day is coming up in Feb. and I really wanted to be a lot smaller then what i am now, only down 46 lbs total...I don't know why i am telling you all this, other then i think i need someone who is going thru the same as me to tell me what i need to hear. Anyway, we are all the best! everyone on this site seems like good peeps! Happy Holidays!

Hi all...

I was really struggling with the Water, just like most of us, but I've really come to enjoy my tea and hot water. Since I'm cold all the time it was really hard to drink cold water, but hot water goes down real easy and warms me up. I guess 85 lbs of insulation was really keeping me warm 'cause for the first time in my life I am COLD...alll the time. Even before I gained all the weight I was "warm blooded", but now I freezing. People tell me I will acclimate...I hope it happens soon! Brrrrrrrrrr!

Sue11,

I know what you mean about being cold now! Me too! Brrrr....but I guess it's better than being so hot all the time like I was before.

Lady lana,

You have lost about what most of us have lost. How much fill do you have total?

Blessings, Weazer

Happy holidays everyone! I know it's been awhile but with two parties under my belt and the last 4 days in bed have kept me off of here. The good news is my house is decorated, the presents are bought and wrapped and under the tree, and my son and his wife fly in on Saturday!!!! I will have all six of my kids here on Sunday with my three daughter-in-laws so it's our pre-Christmas celebration before three if them spend Christmas day at other places. I hate to share with the in-laws. . .

My goal was to make it from Thanksgiving to Christmas without gaining weight and in fact I have lost some so that is the best gift of all! I hit 70 pounds off yesterday on my birthday which was a nice surprise. The key for me is to eat plenty and not starve myself.

I still need to work on those Christmas cards so I better get moving. Many Blessings to all of you through the holidays and the new year to come.

Hi everyone; I love my band!!!! It was really easy to loose the first 3 months. Now I really have to work at it. I am down 65 lbs. I hope to be close to my goal by July. How far is everyone from their goal? Has it been hard for you to lose after 6 months? I have noticed a change in it. How has your family coped with the change?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
