Yes, my evil twin of your scale still sits in my bathroom. I have to plan his demise very carefully lest he catch wind of the idea and fight back. .....

oh and another one- when I am driving I will sometimes slide my cell phone between my legs because it would be held so securely there. now my thighs don't squeeze together enough to hold the phone there! Have to find some where else to put it! LOL!

My daughter borrowed my shirt. I never in a million years thought we would wear the same size

I have feeding frenzy days periodically. I think it does help keep you in perspective to log all of it, no matter how much or what. It actually makes it feel a little more satisfying to your cravings (I think!). Then climb right back on that calorie counting exercising horse and continue the journey. good luck!

I have had mine about a year and a half. I love mine too and have never regretted it a minute. I don't think I would ever have found the will power on my own. I want to loose about another 20 lbs or so but just cant! I cant exercise much right now due to an accident, so I am just trying to limit calories. Its just not…

My daughter gave me her work clothes because they now fit me perfectly! (from a size 20 to a size 12!)

I didn't have a preop diet either. But I do know that when I have thought "this should be fine" going against what the doc says, it always comes back to bite me in the butt. Even though you don't understand the reason behind it, the docs have been doing this a lot longer than we have and I have come to realize they know…

You ARE superman!

Whats that on your arm? Oh , let me see..... oh, its just your arm fat. Thanks Mom.

I will be your friend! I was banded nov 30 2012. I have lost 68 lbs. would like to lose about 20 more. I haven't regretted the band one minute! I hadn't lost an ounce in years and was only going up. The band has really helped me to see how much I was really eating. I had a bad wreck in sept 2013. I had 2 broken legs and a…

I was feeling a little down today so I went back and read all the sweet replies to my situation. I am 6 months out now. I was wheelchair bound for 12 weeks. Then I could only hop around on the right leg for another 6 weeks. Then started progressive partial weight bearing on that pesky crushed left femur. The left leg was…

I love everybodys response and love how they go from one end to the other. Thank you to all who praise. I haven't heard or seen anything more from the girl, so hopefully she is still safe. To the naysayers- I haven't poisoned myself. I am still alive. And I haven't fallen into a deep dark pit of despair eating myself into…

Yay! It feels really good , doesn't it?

Congratulations! I had lost about 50 lbs when I had a bad car wreck. I too, have been confined to a wheelchair due to 2 broken legs and a broken foot. I can now walk on my right leg, but still no wt bearing on the left. I have a long journey of physical therapy and trying to bend these old knees again. I have continued to…

I was banded a year ago. My original cost included 3 fills and then I had start paying for them . If you switched to another doctor, you prob would def have to pay.

This group isn't being very active. Lets talk some more.

great job! but how much did the fish weigh?

thank you all for the encouragement. I will be wheelchair bound for the full 12 weeks. I am hanging in there. This week is number 6 so I am halfway there!

I have been taking align for 2 weeks and haven't noticed any difference. Im not sure its worth the money...

Semper fi!

yep!

nice new washer! and good job!

I was banded nov 30th 2012. I haven't regretted it at all. I have had some trouble, but only when I eat too much to fast, or the wrong thing. When I see that big warm yeast roll, sometimes I cant resist. but it doesn't go down well. As time has gone by, I am better at controlling what and how much I eat. Sometimes when Im…

I hesitate to put in new weights because I know it will lower my calories. I guess its a form of cheating. lol!

yes me too. My daughters wedding was 2 yrs ago. I wish I would have not been so BIG!

I posted this same question once. I am 5 ft 3 in. I started at 228. now I am at about 184. People are just now starting to say something. I think people are afraid to say anything until they are sure. I didn't advertise the fact that I was trying to lose wt because I don't like it when people are looking and asking…

I was banded nov 29,2012. I have noticed my hair falling out too. Im really glad to hear everyone say it comes back. I

I haven't told anyone about my band either. The only soul that knows is my husband. My cousin and his wife both had a band and haven't really lost. Everybody keeps talking about them. I didn't want the family talking about me like they talk about them. I think if my band was empty I would shoot right back up again too.…

Gotta love your Mom. Im not really laughing yet. She called me and said she found some shorts in a box that are size 24. She said "oh they are probably too big for you, what do you wear a 18 or 20? No , mother, I wear a size 14. silence.

I was banded nov 3oth. I have lost about 40 lbs and have 40 to go. Its coming off a lot slower now. I don't exercise at all though. It took me a while to get used to eating with the band. I would eat too fast and too big of bites And I really like the sweets. I think its going to take a long time to reach goal. But I…
