Happy New Year Joi..
Glad all is well with you in Germany. I have about 25 lbs to go myself and things are not moving along too well. I had to have surgery on the 13th of Dec, and my doctor found a blind pocket which was taking in more food than I should have been, now I know why I was eating so well. Now back to the usually 4 oz portions, so maybe the last 25 will come off in the next few months. Hang in there, now that things are settled I know you will be back on the train in no time.
Best of luck to you and your family.

Topic: Happy Holidays Family
Hello Family I just wanted to say a quick hello, and that all is going well here in Germany. I love my job. I went to London for the Christmas break, and will be chilling in Germany for the New Years Holiday. My family is well in the states. I really miss you guys, but it is hell trying to get my internet hooked up in my house here. I'm going to see a plastic surgeon to see about a breast lift, no implants though because of my past history with cancer, and to get my arms done, so wish me luck. I have a co- worker who had some work done, and our insurance covered it 100%, so I'm praying that they will cover me also. The weather here is a trip we have had several inches of snow, which I hadn't seen in 20 years, what a change for me LOL. I haven't lost or gained any weight since I've been here but I will be the first on board when the protien train leaves the station the first of the year.thanks Cookie. A sistah still has around 50 pounds to loss before I reach my goal, I have to get focus, now that everything has settled down a bit here in Germany. Thanks for your continued support and may everyone have a wonderful Holiday.

Hi Angela 
Thanks so so much for the update. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Feeling kind of discouraged today. I feel like I will never get this weight off, plus I only been banded since 11-23-05. Sometimes I wish I went with the RNY but you know what, I'm happy with the decision I made, especially when thoughtful people like you posted success stories like this one. Well done, great job, very proud of you!!!!!! 
God Bless You!

Hey everybody! I haven't been on here in a while (mainly because for the life of me, I couldnt figure out the new log on thing and I finally got in!). Let me update you on my progress. I had surgery on 1/12/05 and I have lost 110 pounds already. Im not even a year out of surgery yet. I have went from 275 pounds to 165. I am so proud of myself. I am now wearing a size 6 clothes all the way from a size 20-22.
I am going to be having my plastic surgeries in February. I am going to have an extended abdomoplasty, and also having breast implants put in (I lost my whole chest with this weightloss. Im wearing a 34b now. Come on, I need some help in that department now). Then about 3-4 weeks after that, Im having my arms and thighs fixed. I can't wait to see the results. It's gonna be a very painful and expensive experience but I will feel so much better once all this fat gets cut off. LOL.
For anybody who is doubting or questioning the lapband system, please think hard about it. It is the greatest invention ever created and yes you have to work with it but it can be done and you will not have one regret about it.
I don't have any pics on here but if you have aol, you can check my profile at angela9578. Good luck with everybody's lapband adventure and thank you for all the people who have given me the support this past year. Have a wonderful New Year's!!!
Topic: RE: Disgusted With Myself! :mad:
Hi becki,
Don't be disgusted just be aware, fix it and move on. I am so glad you posted this. I have let Christmas week be one big eating frenzy. I have got to get all of the goodies out of the house. I don't think I have gained any weight, but I also don't think I have lost any either. I went back to work today, and I am vowing to get back on track. We have all come too far. I did allow myself to enjoy my holiday favorites, but now it is time to get back to normal. I want to be in onederland by the time I see my surgeon on 1/12. I have got to get busy. Don't beat yourself up. I am glad I am not alone, but let's help one another to stay focused.
