Well, there's lots going on here! Thanks for filling us in, Susan. I have a friend who recently had lapband surgery. I only see her about once every 2 years, and I called in on her in January. I was just hopping in my car to leave when she told me about the surgery, so I didn't really have a chance to have a good chat about it, so you've helped me understand it better, as she was telling me about not drinking during meals, and certain things she couldn't eat.
Wow Susan. That is very interesting, I always thought they put the band on and cinched it up tight then rerouted the intestines and basically remove part of the stomach. Thank you for the information.
Well girls I finally feel normal and am back to working out. It is funny how far you can back slide after just a week and a half. I have some "catching" up to do before I am back to where I was before I got sick.
Have a great day everyone!!!
Good morning everyone!
did my morning work out and didnt cough, I think I am finally completely over this cold.
Hope everyone is doing well, I think I may even step on the scale on Thursday. I have not weighed my self in over 3 weeks. I had a stand off with it since it decided not to move for over 2 months!!!
have a great day everyone.

Yes, I think they're having some technical issues at the moment. I've seen several threads where posts are displayed 4 or 5 times!
I haven't weighed myself for about 3 weeks either. I don't have the excuse of being sick either!!!! I must weigh myself this week!
I will step on that blasted scale tomorrow morning before I do my 4 mile workout.
I did my 2 miles this morning, and may not get in my afternoon workout. DBF and I will be going to Costco after work, and most likely out to dinner. Depending on how late we get home I may still get in 3 or 4 miles.
What are your plans for the holiday weekend? I will be at a pool party and I am making the cake. I am excited to try this one, it is in the newest Wilton Yearbook.
Have a good day everyone.

My plans for the weekend? Work.
I was down .6 lbs this week. Still doing well.
Well, I still haven't stepped on the scale!
It's no holiday here.......a normal weekend for us. I've spent today helping my sister, husband and 7 kids move house......that's my exercise for the day!!
Americans, Happy 4th of July! It's going to be another hot one in Houston, with highs expected at 101 and the humidity...at a miserable level.
Merissa, I saw your questions about eating foods like bread, rice and pasta...I think you can still eat them after surgery, it's just that foods that become sticky as you chew them often get caught on the top of the band because they don't break up. Think of something sitting just on top of the skinny part of the hour glass and trying to work it's way through. With the band, it can become painful when food tries to push it's way through that little space. I've felt some of that myself and it's not fun. No side effect from eating the actual food except the pain of passing it through the band. And Michelle, in answer to your question, there's no moving or cutting of intestines or any other organs, I think you're thinking about gastric bypass surgery. With the band, it's easily removed if people don't like it for any reason. You have the lapband as an outpatient. I'm going in for another fill on Tuesday because it's still not tight enough and I'm not (yet) losing weight.
My cousin spent the night last night, she's still sleeping. We went to dinner and a movie, The Proposal, predictable but cute, and then out for dessert at a local funky coffee shop. Today we're going antique-ing, should be fun.
Have a great day!
Good morning, hope everyone had a good weekend. I spent way too much time in the pool and sun. I got a sunburn,but I expected it!
I did get on that darn scale, and guess what.....no movement still at 197. I suppose I am happy that I am still under 200 but geezz....that is three months at a stand still. I think that since I stopped doing the MFC and have just been doing WATP my body is no longer challenged even though I do a different DVD every day. As a matter of fact I rarely do the same DVD in a week and I work out twice a day, thats how many DVDs I have!!! LOL
I guess I will have to incorporate MFC back into my routine.
I made a cake for the 4th, but like an idiot I forgot to take a picture!!! It was so cute too.
Have a great day everyone.
How is everyone doing???
I had my docs apt yesterday and my blood sugar went up so I was put back on Metformin. Oh well, I thought it would happen. I watched my numbers slowley but continuely go up for 3 months.
Have a great day
Bejeezers! Why can't I keep logging on here? I think I always have a tough time in the summer...lack of motivation. Not that I am ever motivated for long when I am motivated. Josh I am so annoying to myself. I havent weighed myself in quite awhile either. It's probably not pretty!
Thanks for being so open and honest about your lapband, Susan. I hope it starts working soon!
Glad you are feeling better, Michelle! You are doing so well!
I love your new avatar sonia! wow! I have to get a better look at that one!
Hope everyone is well! I wil check in again soon! promise!
Hello everyone!! Hope all are doing well today.
I got my morning workout in and feel great today.
Not much going on right now. Just waiting for the day to pass by quickly, but it doesnt look like that will be happening!!! LOL
The day is kpassing quickly enough for me today. It is my only day off this week. At least I am making some money, though.
Hate to be the only one, but I was down another pound this week. 1.2 pounds, actually. Hope everybody is doing well today.
Check in later,
Karen

wow karen, you are literally working off the pounds! congrats!
I did do a workout this morning, so feeling good about that!
My computer has been playing up this week. I had 4 days when it wouldn't even turn on! It seems to be working at the moment 
I seem to be in a slump with my weight. I keep meaning to get back on track, but have been finding it hard.
I have a bit of incentive at the moment though. This may seem really weird to you, BUT.... I have a great uncle who has just found out he is dying of cancer, he may only have weeks to live. Well, my old boyfriend used to work for him, and I'm assuming I might see him at the funeral (haven't seen him since I've been married - 16 years!) sorry if that sounds really awful, but it's these weird things that seems to get you motivated eh!!
Hey, where is everyone??
I am doing well this week. How about you?
Hi all. Been pretty busy.
I am doing as well as I have been. Still have not lost any more weight, but at least I have not gained!!!
I will start my MFC rotation this week into my workouts. I think two days a week will be good. I just love doing my walking workouts so I will miss them those two days. However I noticed my loss stopped after I changed my routing so hopefully this will start the downward trend again!!
Hi everyone, how are you doing?????
I am pluggin along not making any progress in my loss, will have to make a complete overhaul of my intake and my workouts to jump start it again.
Have a great day!
Hello, everyone!
Up one pound today, but it is "that time of the month." It is all good, though. It is pretty warm here, but it is Florida. I guess we will be staying home for the rest of the day. Tomorrow we are planning on a trip to the dog park with Piper.
Have a great day, all!
Hi All ~
OMG, is it hot here, Michelle I imagine you're in the same boat, yuck.
I'm still not so happy with my lapband, trying to get it going. I've had 3 fills now and the band is definitely tight because food starts to hurt going down after a few bites. I'm still starving hungry...the hunger's not getting better but my response to it has been less frantic. I talked to my surgeon last week and expressed my disappointment about the hunger. When he told me that not everyone's hunger dissipates after surgery, I started to cry. How embarrassing...I just really hoped it would help, I mean it's supposed to be a small pouch so I was under the impression I'd be full after about 4 ounces, which is the case with most people. I'm going to weigh in tomorrow but I've only lost 2 pounds as of last week. I'm not giving up, I'm just surprised about the response.
I hope everyone's having a good summer! I know I haven't been around for the past 6 months or so, so y'all are probably used to it, but I don't like the new look of the home page...I miss seeing a lot of photos in the different categories when you click on. What's everyone think?
Sorry you're having such problems, Susan! After going through all that you just expect things to work, don't you!! I'm glad you're sticking with us! I think a lot of people are missing the old home page.
Sounds like you're really enjoying Piper, Karen!!
Michelle, I really hope you see some results soon - you've worked so hard!
I'm really just coasting along doing the same old thing I havent put on any this week, but haven't gone down, either.
Susan, I am sorry you are dissapointed. Keep with it though, dont give up, and dont leave us here!
I also dont like the new home page. I loved seeing all of the pics too.
Well like the others I have not lost, but then I have not gained either.
Everyone have a great weekend. I plan on seeing the new Harry Potter movie!!! WOO HOO
Michelle, give us a review on HP after you see it. I love going to the movies.
