Hello everyone...I am being banded on April 10th. I am so excited! Seems like it's been forever to get to the countdown, but I think it'll be here before we know it!

Anyone else scheduled in April? We need to come up with a group name!

Carol

Oh man I wish the batteries on my scale would die lol

Good morning all! Well for most its the afternoon (west coast here)

Oh man this morning I got on the scale and it was 206.0 Why not an ounce or 2 lower and I would be 205 uggh! I am so close to Onderland.

Where did everyone go :smile2:

I am just checking in. I didn't lose any weight last week :thumbup: oh well I won't beat myself up I think I am doing ok.

I had the best weekend ever.. But I did have 2 white russians at the casino..... Oh they were soooo good!

I am back on track now though. I broke even so thats always good.

How's everyone else doing?

Hi Brandy! And everyone!

Girl I am just so busy. I didn't fall off the face of the earth. I'm exhausted.

I know Leslie is taking a break from LBT for a while. I'm not sure about anyone else.

Seems like so many threads are a little slow moving. Must be the time of year. Sports for the kids are in full force, so many of us are in school full time and work full time. Busy, busy busy.

I'm glad you're doing well Brandy. I've lost a few pounds last week. I'm still hopeful I can meet my goal of getting under 200 by the end of the year. We'll see. Only 10 pounds to go!

Take care everyone!

Yeah, I've been super busy too! Just stressed and don't have much to say. :tongue: I hope you are all doing well, Lord knows I'm not. Was really bad this past weekend.

I got good news today: I've been accepted into nursing school. That's one stress that I can let go of! Woo Hoo!

Take care all!!

Congratulations Bea!

I'm a nurse, and it was the best decision I ever made! There are so many avenues you can take with it. You are gonna do great!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm really excited but also anxious. I know it's going to be a lot of hard work especially trying to balance school and home, but I really think I'm up to the challenge. I just can't believe I'm finally doing this. I've been working so hard for so long. It was such a reality check yesterday to be reading what supplies I'll need, etc. Wow! I truly feel like it's my calling and I can't wait!!

How are you doing?

Congrats Bea that's wonderful to hear. I am glad you have found something that you will love :tongue2:

I noticed that alot of people have left the board for another forum :rolleyes2: Does anyone know why? I must have really missed something.

Thanks!

Do you mean another website or another thread on lapband talk? I've noticed that the regulars haven't been around in a while. What forum have they gone to?

Hi friends!

Contrary to popular belief - I have NOT fallen off the face of the Earth!

Life here has been ridiculous - my boyfriend is being deployed, I'm working full time and in school full time - I barely have time to breathe, let alone post! Since my last MD visit, I had to have an unfill - I was unable to pretty much keep anything down, so I am currently down about 22 lbs. I was refilled and started back to Jenny Craig today. I'd like to lose another 10 lbs by Christmas.

My LB journey hasn't been easy..but hey, I'm still down 22 lbs that I wouldn't have been without it.

Hope everyone is well!

Nurse- WOW you have alot going on. I wouldn't beat myself up if I had all that going on. I wish your boyfriend the very best and hope that he stays safe. The weight will come off no worries. Keep up the good work

Hi girls,

Yes, Brandy, many seem to have floated over to B2G. I found that site a long time ago, but I didn't find it too different than here at the time so I stayed here. I have posted a few times as you know, but I really don't have time for either place.

I'm doing fine. Don't really eat well these days. I am feeling like I'm tighter than before which I've read that happens sometimes to people. Weird. I can't eat much, but can't help but wonder if my stress level isn't part of it too.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi fellow Avengers. I have posted here before but mostly lurked. I was banded on 8 Apr and also would like to be down below 200lbs by what was initially Christmas morning now 31 Dec I suppose. I keep saying what I want but don't seem to be making much if any progress. At this point, I am down 50lbs from day prior to surgery but can't but worry that I won't make my goal of being down by 100lbs at my bandaversary. What are you guys doing?

Hello Ladies! (and gentleman)...

I'm back! I've missed you all so much? So what's up with everyone?

I've been stressed lately and have been super tight - I really have no appetite at all and when I do eat everything tastes like crap! lol - why the heck isn't my scale moving???

I'm still at 214 - been there for three months now. I bought some protein shots at GNC and started them this week. I've got to do something to turn my weight loss around.

This weekend my friend Jeannie and I are going to the beach. Girls weekend!! Woohoo - but you know I have a darned cold? Why? WTH? Why do I get sick right before I want to do something for me? it sucks - I'm hoping I get better before tomorrow.

So chickadees - I want updates! Carol you alive? Brandy? Mom? Bea? Are we logging our food?! I'm not! Come on girls - let's get back on the band-wagon if we've fallen off (that'd be me). I miss you all...I'll be back soon to check in - if I don't see updates you are all getting PM's from me...(whhaaahhha - okay that was my evil laugh)...

Update!

I am at 205 and stalled again. Why? oh probably because I have been having wine in the evenings lol. I have now learned the hard way that I can no longer have margaritas and chocolate milk. I don't know why but they begin a slime fest for unknown reasons... No matter how loose my band is or what time of the day it is.

Other than that I don't have alot to report other than I am being lazy and not working out as I should. I really need a kick in the pants.

I think my band is super tight and if it were to tighten up even just a tiny amount more I would have a slight unfill. I PB water if I gulp. Now adays its all about sip sip sip.

I would love to just chow down a burger I am really missing them but the feeling will pass in a day or 2 cause I know its just head hunger.
