I"m off to get my 3 rd fill, hope to get somekind of help from all this journey. and maybe join some of you in your success stories. I'm getting bored talking about gardens and want to talk about my new size 12's too.... Hope I didn't gain weight this month, It's been a hard month to diet, with weddings, family reunions, company, xmas in July and just plain "July"... I hope to meet Anne at Dr. Loggin's office. See you all, later..

thanks guys, didn't go so well, I gainned weight. I kinda felt it coming, was a tough month. Was very depressed too with my puppy gone. NOt an excuse, Just admitting I am a lazy bum and getting tired. He gave me another whole cc, which was good for him, he normall keeps them smaller. that is what he says. anyway. doing liquids for the night, lets see what happends tomorrow, I got out really quick so missed seeing Anne. Had to go get birthday stuff for party tonight for my little man. he has a sleepover friend coming over. I'm hoping for even just a little restriction so I can start working this tool a little bit harder

Don't beat yourself up. It's understandable that you've had a rough time dieting lately with all that has gone on in your life. We are here for you and keep working at it. Hopefully this fill will be the "sweet spot" for you. HUGS

thank you Keela, I hate whinning, and try to stay possitive, but, its has kicked my butt, I'm just worried I will fail at this opportunity too. I am so proud of all my OH friends, but I have to say i'm feeling a little jealous. Your are all doing soooo well. Enjoy this yakki rainning day, I had a whole outside b-day party planned for this afternoon, looks like i'll be renting a "Direct TV Movie".. any suggestions... and me on just liquids, oiyyyyy!!! with cake and icecream in the house.

hang in there cheryl. i'm sure once you get the fills you need the weight will melt off of you. 27 pounds is a great start and you really don't have too much more to go according to your chart. do the best you can and you will see results.

Cheryl, Sorry things didn't go quite as you'd hoped they would. But, as mentioned, you DID have a rather stress filled month .

Sorry I missed you at the office yesterday too. I was looking forward to finally meeting you in person. Spent over an hour there with various staff members.
I know you're frustrated right now that things don't seem to be moving along but you ARE a success story in your own right as you made the critical decision to do something about your weight and get healthier ! We did NOT gain this weight over night and, like RNY, the band is a tool. We need to work with that tool. As I said earlier you've had some things going on this month that ANYONE would find hard to stay focused on any type of diet program. Stop flogging yourself. I sense that you are the type of person who can pick herself off.....dust herself off......and continue on the journey AND ACHIEVE IT ! As you yourself have said, lapband IS different from RNY and the results will be more gradual but THERE WILL BE RESULTS if you stick with it. Those of us having/ having had RNY may lose faster but our goal is the same. YOU WILL GET THERE and, who knows....you may be in clothes smaller than a size 12 !

PM me if you want to. I want to meet you before we meet at the little gathering later this month.
Take Care........
Remember, you ARE a success if you TRULY BELIEVE you are.!

Hugs......and honks........
Anne
