Had my LAP BAND done on 11-26-2007 in Buffalo, NY at Buffalo General Hospital by Dr. Aaron Hoffman. I've have had no problems what-so-ever and the support from Dr. Hoffman has been FANTASTIC. He is the BEST doctor ever! I would recommend anybody from the Buffalo, Rochester, NY area to have Dr. Hoffman perform the BAND! GREAT DOC!:eek:

It is cloudy here but very humid, it is supposed to drop this afternoon.

I went for my walk this morning and was sweating my butt off, I usually do, but there was no sun today so i was kind of shocked.

I was in Orchard Park / East Aurora in December for our company x-mas party, i had a very nice weekend, Stayed at the Roycroft Inn

My former boss, who is still a good friend, lives in Holland. The rooms there are really nice too. The sun is starting to come out but it is still very humid.

well, i'm off for my 2nd walk for the day

I hope my blah blah blah helped. Did you guys try the 5 Day Pouch challange?

Actually I did that and it helped for a few days but I was still in onion ring mode (the pub I go to makes them homemade with homemade batter... yummmmmmm), so it didn't really work

jenn,

i did the challenge and it helped me start losing again

When is the next support group meeting? The 12th or the 19th?

Its the third wednesday of the month so it would be the 19th..

shar

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Thanks!

Well.... 21lbs to the personal goal I set 2 years ago... Once I get there I might do another 25... and then I'll be very very happy.

My Dr's goal was where I was 10lbs ago so he is happy I am ready to move forward and prove him wrong

Thanks!

great job jenn

Why Thank You!

it is a nice cool cloudy day here, which normally would make me crazy, but we just scrubbed the entire downstairs - I'm doing laundry and it is all good.

how is everyone's weekend?

Hi everyone, sorry I dont' have time to get online more often. I went and got .5cc fill but Barb said I had 4 to start with not 3.5. I feel the difference but it is not causing problems

Vicki, I eat cashews and pistachios. The pistachios last longer cause you have to open them and you can have twice as many as the cashews. I also like cheddar bunnies which are an organic "goldfish".

I love nuts and goldfish..what are the organic cheddar bunnies made from and where do i get them?

Kuddos to you linda u are doing great for only having 4cc.. I'm at 5.7 and still gaining... I am so scared that this could be where i will be stuck and being in the 200's stinks. I am doing well today, but this is truely like being an alchoholic. I was doing so well until I got the unfill, and then I started eating sweets and now I'm craving cookies, cakes, icecream, etc....I am so depressed and feel like I am losing the battle of the bulge. anyway, sorry about the blah, blah, blah, :cool:

Vixter-omg you are so right-it is a food addiction. In fact I talked to my couselor/nutritionist about OA. Does anyone have any experience with Overeaters Anon?

I got stuck about a year out, right about where you are... looking at your signature, We are about 5lbs different. I was stuck at 219 after a year, and here it is another year later and ups and downs, and a good fill (I'm at 1.5cc in 4cc band) I'm finally really loosing again. I was holding 205 for the last 6 months.

I also got back into bad things, I went from homemade ranch with sour cream only to the bottled stuff with 200cals for 2tbs :cool: OMG, no wonder why I couldn't lose.

I wish you the best of luck, and a suggestion I would give if asked, do the food diary if you are not already, it is scary what a reality check that is.
