Happy Surgiversary month Amy!

Happy Suriversary month Amy!

Cruisin' -  Well, I worried for nothing! I had a great time on my cruise and didn't gain weight!!! Didn't lose, but didn't gain :D I have my next fill tomorrow and know I need it. Anyway, I'm...

Nervous - About a month ago, I called my surgeon's office to schedule my next lapband fill. They only do them every other Monday, so I figured it would be plenty of time before my cruise (I ...

That time of the month (Tom may not want to read : - Ok, guys. Here's a little background. I had endometrial ablation a little over 2 years ago and was period since then....until last month. I'm thinking it is probably due to the wei...

SCHOOL'S ALMOST OUT!!! -  This time of year is so hard for me. I teach high school and between prom, exams, graduation, etc. I cannot get ANYTHING done that is "just for me" (hence my absence from the mess...

How do fills work? - I've had 2 so far and after the last one, I had a lot more restriction than before. I still feel more restricted than before the fill, but not as much as I initially did. Does this...

Roller Coasters - We went to Carowinds (an amusement park) yesterday for Mother's Day. It has been a long time since I've gone there because riding roller coasters, which I love, had become increasi...

2nd Fill Not as Fun... - Not that the first one was fun, but this one didn't go quite as well. First, I went to my pre-conference with the support team and was told I am doing better than the average band ...

SO SORE!!! - I have been a member at the YMCA for a lot of years, but haven't really "worked out" for the past 10. We've basically used our membership for the pool and kid's sports. Yesterday, ...

BIG EASTER UPDATES!!! - So, I saw most of my family for the first time since my surgery yesterday. I had seen my mom and aunt about 15 pounds ago, so I don't really count them. Anyway, I walked into lunch...

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! -  It feels like a million years since I've been on here, but I think it's actually only been about a week. Anyway, things have been great. I slipped up a little yesterday and ate a ...

Had to Add... -  another notch in my belt last night! That makes 2 so far!!! Tom's right, the NSV's outweigh (pun intended) the numbers!!! 

Getting to Know you -  So, I have been on here for awhile talking about my band, issues with it, weight loss, weight gain, etc., but I haven't really said much about life outside of the band. Anyway, la...

Sad today -  I'm not sure what's going on, but I just can't be happy today...

Amount of food - I understand that every doctor is different and am not asking for advice as much as I'm just curious. My doctor said once the band is at the correct fill, I should be eating about ...

Funny NSV Report! -  So, today my son gave me a hug and said, "Mom, now I can reach my arms all the way around you." Then he followed that with, "I think maybe my arms are getting longer." He is defin...

QUESTION ABOUT CARBS VS. NET CARBS - Hi Everyone! I just tried to look up how to calculate net carbs, but it doesn't add up the way it should according to the Atkins Advantage shakes and protein bars. Example: The ...

Luncheon -  Well, today I had a luncheon and I thought I would have a problem. The choices were chicken salad on a croissant, salmon (which I hate!) and filet. I was told not to have red meet...

Eating Protein First - I'm having a little difficulty with the whole "eating proteins first" thing. Does that mean that when I make stir fry for my family, does that mean I have to eat the chicken first?...

PANTS ON THE GROUND... -  PANTS ON THE GROUND, FEELIN' SO GOOD WITH MY PANTS ON THE GROUND!!! That's right! I put on my jeans this morning and they wouldn't even stay up long enough for me to get a belt. I...

I'VE CROSSED OVER!!! -  For the first time since having my second son, I finally weigh less than 200 pounds!!! And boy, does it feel good!

FIRST ADJUSTMENT...and other stuff - I had my first adjustment yesterday. It was much easier than I thought and was really cool. I didn't realize (no pun intended) that I would be able to actually see the barium (yuck...
