Another Good Appt

Hey all. had another two week appt with my doc. I lost another 11 pounds. I love that. Because two weeks ago i gained 1 pound. But all in all I was ok to start eating more ( brown rice, toast, things like that) and to exercise more. In which I have more energy to do so. I just want you all to know that if you stick in there things will change for you. Today is my first day back at work and it's all good.

I am so happy to hear that.  It does sound like you are doing great.  Keep it up.  Yep, patience and hard work do pay off.  

Thanks Robin

Hi everyone! My name is Tracy and I'm considering having the lap band surgery. I been fighting with my weight for years. I'm know 33 years old and have three beautiful kids I'm trying to live a long life for. I have been considering this surgery,including the gastric by-pass. I dont like all the risks included with that surgery. I would love to hear some advice on how to get started and to find a surgeon in my area,and any information you can share about your own surgery and was a it the best decision for you. I really havent tried hard enough to diet and my husband wants me to do that first. But as we all know easier said then done. Any advice from someone one would be greatly appreciated.

Way to go!!  Please save me some room on that loser bench though, I'll get there one day. Mark

Oh it's a lot of room left, just waiting for you!

Hey Mark! Wehn do we get to see your face? We love to look at each other's faces as we travel in this journey.  Keep up the good work. There will always be room for you on the bench! Aime

That is great news! I am surprised you can eat rice and toast. I still can't eat breads and I am 8 months out. I am fearful of rice. I did try a little pasta yesterday for the first time. It went well, but I could only eat about 4 bites. Keep up the great work. Aime

Hi Aime, I do good on rice but I can only eat about 2 tablespoons and I do just fine on pasta. 

I can eat it but I don't. She said brown rice and stuff but I rather not. I will stick to the protein and veggies.
