i just wanted 2 share my date with others. So if any 1 else has surgery on the 15 of dec. Please introduce ya self. Im happy n excited.

im glad to be back as i missed all of you guys. and i was a nice trip except i got sunburned really bad now im all flakey.

Welcome back China, glad you had a nice trip. Laurel

China, hope you are surviving getting back to reality. The last fill i got has really given me some good restriction. I have a hard time even eating in the morning so I just do protein shakes. This works for me as I don't have time to stop and eat. I am still waiting for the scale to start dropping again. Rose I hope all is well with you too. Have a great weekend everyone. Laurel

Thanks Laurel for responding.....you were the only ONE! My band hasn't slipped & I am thankful. It was quite sore and I went to my doc. All is well now; didn't have to have an unfill. It was a scare tho. I won't be writing here anymore. Seems some people on this board are just concerned with themselves and their travels, not how people are doing on the lap band. Thanks again!!

Hello all, Sorry I haven't been online much. This schedule is so much tougher then the past. I am going to make sure I start posting again. I have good restriction but don't seem to be dropping but I am sticking with it. Hope we all have a great weekend.

Hi all - haven't posted in a while, but I thought you might want to know that things have started moving again -- I think I was stressed out and that's why I couldn't shift even a pound. Now I've been on holiday for a few weeks and I lost 5 lbs... I'm now almost 50lbs down and more importantly am consistently under 200 for the first time in about 8 years!! It's really wonderful! I still have a long journey, but I'm more hopeful. How is everyone doing?

hey ya hows it going. well laurel glad to hear your doing good and have great restriction. now about the slow weightloss maybe you are to tight or not eating enough as that is what happen to me and i just stayed the same. so check into that . an shelly im so happy to hear the good news. keep up the good work. i to plan on posting again as it was helping me out alot. im going to the ymca on monday to join there my contract ran out with my other gym and i didnt want to renew it. i think swimming will help me alot. how was everyones weekend mine was good i only had 2 canoli's over the wkend. i did by that biggest losser mag and im reading it and its helping think im just gonna take it one day at a time instead of jumping in full force with this diet stuff. so my goal for monday is to eat healthy and join the gym. and that is fine with me for now.

love ya:thumbup:

Hi China, I go back to the Dr. on tues. I haven't gotten to the gym but I am off next week and plan on getting there then. I also have an appt. for my knee. It is getting painful and making it harder to push myself at the gym. How did you make out with the

YMCA? Laurel

Hello all sorry its been so long since I have been on but life has been very full for me taking care of my Mom and Mother in law. I also have had computer problems so we had to go out and get me a new computer. So I now I forget how to update my tickler so I will give you an update on my weight loss. It is coming off slow but it is coming off. I have no had a fill in over 3 months and from the beginning of my journey starting at 229 I am currently 184 so I am down 45 lbs. I have about 14 lbs to my goal. I hope to accomplish that goal by my birthday in February. I feel so much better physically. No more pain in my feet, back and legs...its amazing what caring all the weight aroun does to us.

Laurel and China I am so glad to hear that you guys are doing well.

I will try and sign on more often.
