:wow2: :wow2: :wow2: Myra! Your gardens are gorgeous! I bet you've been one busy lady! You obviously have a green thumb. Mine is a very definite brown thumb, I can and have killed cacti.:faint: You doggies are adorable too and so is the cat. How much time do you spend in your flower beds? I'd have to pitch a tent out there! It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Drews - I'll bet you've been busy. How is the knee? Is it causing you a lot of pain? When is the ball?

Having knee surgery in 2 weeks, May 10. Knee hurts like hell! Ball is May 6th... I post pics for sure!

If there is a new May Chat thread no one will probably even see this but I didn't see one when I looked.

It's been a while since I've posted.

I was band one year ago on May 1st. What a year it has been!!!

I am now down 117 pounds and I feel great. I still have between 30-40 more to go but I am soooo happy with what I have accomplished thus far. I am also so proud of all of the other May 2006 Bandsters. We have really worked hard and struggled through a lot together!

Wow LInda - you have done an awesome job! How did you do it? I too was banded in May of 06 and have only lost 49 pds. I have been stuck in the -40s since Oct of 06. I have gotten fills and am up to 8cc's in my 10cc band. I have an appt on the 15th for another fill. I am a bit disappointed, I had hoped to be in onederland by now. Any advice?

Exercise and eating enough calories has been the key for me. Too little of either has me feeling lousy and not losing weight.

Hand in there Wiggy. 49 pounds is still a lot and I'm sure it has made a huge difference in your life. Just keep up what you are doing and you will be in Onderland before you know it. It seems to be a difficult barrier to break for many of us.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
