Got 2 compliments this morning. On my way to the laundryroom a neighbour noticed my weightloss, and on my way to the mailroom my superintendant said, wow you look amazing! So even though I haven't weighed myself yet, and I may have gained a bit over the holidays, my clothes still fit nicely and I guess I didn't do too much damage. DH has been telling me that for days now, but I didn't believe him. I thought he was just being nice.

congrats on the drinking of water, I swear that is one of the toughest things I get my band tightened on Thursday, I can't wait, I can feel my portions increase the last couple of days. I didn't get approved to go to the pool yet, so I can't workout yet, but hopefully next month. Happy food and workout thoughts to all

I have a port in my stomach that leads to the band. They put my under an X-ray type machine, they see the port, stick me with a needle in the stomach and then put saline into me. They then stand me up, I drink about 2 swallows of Barium and they watch it go through on the machine, if that looks ok, I drink a half of glass of very cold water fast and tell them how I feel, such as can I feel it stopping up anywhere. If I feel good after that I am done, they tell you to eat soft foods the rest of the day. It is a curious question for many, I had no idea myself until going into it.

Wow .. that's really serious. How long do you have to keep the port in?? I'm eating healthier and walking. Today I walked for my lunch break 1/2 hour. The fresh air feels good!

Well i had lapband surgery, a band was placed around my stomach making a smaller stomach that fills up quickly then slowly goes through the band to my lower stomach, I eat less and stay full, it has been a good choice for me. The benefit of lapband over other surgeries is that it is reversible by having that port in that I can tighten and loosen if needed, the process of getting tightened is less than ten mins and no more than a needle stick for discomfort. Congrats on the walking on lunch break that is a great choice. I am definitely eating healhier but the surgery has helped me with portion control issues. I still try to watch what I eat and try to be healthy about it. I just can't wait until I can workout again.

Everytime I see this thread I always wish it said 'who wants to lose fat with me' There's something about the word weight that always jars... must be just me tho, since reading "The Beauty Myth" I see these subtleties everywhere...

I've lost the 4 pounds that I gained over the holidays, for now. But I'm thinking positive. I'm back at a good number and only want to go lower!!

Yay Vnicky! Whooooo Hoooooo! Dahli, I know what you mean... cuz at Curves, you lose fat but gain muscle. So the WEIGHT per se doesn't seem to be jumping off as quickly. And it's a wonderful thing to trade in FAT for STRENGTH!

Gold stars for Kady. 50 lbs. that is fantastic! .
For you to Vacanick. You took that 4 pounds off fast. The holidays are just now over. I lost 2oz. on my last weight in. That loss was probably nothing more then the fancy lace undies I am now sporting. No doubt they weigh 2oz less then the old baggy ones.

No horn tooting for me, I was lazy and I had icecream and homemade choc.chip/peanut butter cookies this past weekend. I didn't even dare get on that scale this morning. I'm sure it went up, maybe I will brave it tomorrow morning.
