On the Right Track, Finally - Well now we are into April and I have dropped those pesky 5lbs and a few more.  I am FINALLY under the 200 lb mark and even when I stray (like over a holiday, or a vacation trip) I...

Now it's February - Can't believe I haven't written on here since October. Well, apparently the unfill, small though it was, coupled with holiday eating has slightly derailed my plans.  But hopefully ...

Is it possible???? -  At my last visit, they took all my fills out, then put it all back in plus .5cc's.  I had been avoiding needed fills because of fear.  Can the skin fold back differently when they...

A Food Hangover???? -  I believe I experienced a food hangover today. I bought a Marie Calanders Coconut Cream Pie about a month ago when they were on sale.  I have yearned many times for that %#*@ pie....

Onederland...YAY! - Thanks to the .3 fill, I hit Onederland, and just a bit sooner than my goal date. I did have an event to go to, but did not get to go because my Mother-in-law had  (as it turned ou...

Need help...What did I do wrong? - OK, I went to my account, tickers and wigets and created a new one.  Then I saved it and deleted the old one.  It wont delete. I did it 2 days ago and both are still there when I p...

Lost the "w" and the "2"...bye - I just lost the "w" behind all my sizes and the "2" in front of my weight for the first time in 12 to 15 years...and I DON'T miss them a bit!  I can't believe I've finally found "O...

Lack of Progress - Got a small fill today, .3.  I have been hungry and eating more.  Kept up my exercise or I would have gained. I couldn't get in to see my doc last week, and went on a short trip.  ...

Wonderful! I have pics (but not before and after) on my account but...

Now it's mid August - Well, I did not gain on vacation.  At least if I did, I managed to lose it plus 2 1/2 more lbs. by the time I was weighed.  Anyway, now I'm struggling.  I don't know if I need a fi...

Should I be happy about this...oh yeah! - OK, so today was my monthly weigh in with my doc.  Since I spent 10 days of the past month on vacation where I planned to enjoy and not feel guilty, my goal was JUST DON'T GAIN.  I...

After Vacation - I can't believe how bad I was on my vacation.  I broke all the lapband rules.  I drank calories.  I ate slider foods.  I did not eat 3 meals a day.  I did not drink my water.  The ...

It's July already! - Wow, I can't believe it's July, and I haven't posted since April.  I have had a few issues with my weight loss, but am OK with them.  It got so hot here early this year (in June) a...

Fiber????? - I'm looking for a tastless fiber that I can add to coffee.  The one I got at the health and nutrition store did not disolve well.  It was all natural but wanted to get gummy.  I wa...

Can someone explain something to me??? - What is first bite syndrome?  Can it come on about the 3rd bite?  I get an "uncomfortable, and your done" feeling with dense meats (including fish), on or about the 3rd bite.  If I...

Woo Hoo... - Last month at my docs office I'd lost 1 lb, which I really sort of expected since the intense AR heat has stopped my walking. My crazy, but interesting, lapband is all over the pla...

NOT Complaining...just wondering - We had a wonderful style show from Barbara Graves at our Suport Group Meeting last night.  All models were lapbanders.  For the ones who were at or below goal, their port was reall...

A couple of NSV's - Several months back I told my cardiologist I was just moving my walk up to 2 miles.  When he asked me how long it took, I proudly told him 40 minutes.  He quickly told me that was ...

Wondering about Glucossamine - I'm almost 4 months out.  I've been exercising (Walking and Zumba) for a while now and am very happy with the results.  Before banding, I had taken glucossamine for probably 10 yea...

Easy protein snack (or breakfast) - Now don't get me wrong, I do love eggs.  And even before banding, protein stayed with me at breakfast longer than anything carb.  But I do get tired of even the million ways I fix ...

Burst My Bubble!!! - Don't know if you are familiar with CATOS clothing stores or not.  One side is misses, and the other is plus.  Well, armed with the confidence of one who recently went from a women...

Small, but satisfying NSV - I had finally gotten inot a 16 womens pants.  Some of them were a bit loose so I thought I'd try a straight 16.  I held my breath...it fit!  Then I washed the and put them in the d...

OK...so I'm now officially an idiot! - So I'm thinking, because I've had a bite or 2 of bread several times without a problem, I can eat bread, right?  WRONG!  I made myself (and the dogs) half a cheese sandwich on a ni...

Anyone else have wierd warning pains? - I have this wierd warning pain in my neck/shoulder.  It tells me when I've eaten enough, and I HAVE to heed the warning or the pain gets worse.  I figured it had to be some kind of...

Will the unfill be enough??? - I'm hoping the slight unfill will be enough.  It's been 3 days and I can't seem to get off mushies.  Of course, I was overfilled for 3 weeks, so I will give it till Monday, and wil...
