suggestion for gathering

I have a suggestion for the gathering on the 23rd...... should be bring a before picture of ourselves to share? it's amazing how much we have all changed since we've been chatting with each other.

Great Idea for those of you who have changed, no issue here, lol...but I would love to see the before and after, yess!!

CHERYL , CHERYL, CHERYL - I have been reading some post of yours and you have been very negative towards yourself. You do need to look at one of your pics you have of yourself there is a big change... I see it - just think you could be gaining instead.. You are in a stall ,,,, you sound very down on yourself,,,, You are still doing awsome.... Chin up and Smile you are doing GREAT keep up the good work

haha, yea, some long stall.... Not fun on this side of the fence. sorry I'm such a bumber, I'm not doing well....This is mentally hard ****!!!  and thanks for saying you see a change. 

I'm not just saying it Cheryl ,,, when daycare is done here I will prove it to you......

i am with you.i had the lapband on sept 19,2007 and have only lost about 25 lbs..it is discouraging....

Let me tell you, I sooooo appreciate all the support, and I knew it was gonna be slow, right from the start, and was ok with that.  I guess I just didnt' realize it was gonna be this slow, and I Love everyone and am so proud of everyone on this board, but It really is hard.  especially wiht such little fills we get.  Its been a long wait, and I can see where this would cause someone to fail.  I read about the band being slow but this is from people who are getting huge fills??? I'm up to 3 cc's after 3 fills, which is soooooo little and soooo slow.  this would explain the slow loss.  most people at my stage, with the band are up to 7 cc's and I'm at 3????  so please bear with me.  I know I sound like a whinner but please understand how discouraging this can be especially when your all doing so wonderfully.    Thank you WEndy!!

Cheryl...start looking at yourself as on the losing bench...you look fabulous!!!

Oh gosh---I'll have to take one down to riteaid to get printed.  I have zero printed pics of me before...hated them.  But I do have some from the computer.  Good idea.

Good idea, Lisa!  I don't have too many pix from pre-op to choose from that you all haven't already seen!  (Guess I share too much?!?!?)  Anyways..cool idea!

And Cheryl...I TOTALLY agree with Linda!  You ARE changing...AND NOT gaining!  Isn't that great???!!!???!!!!  Quit being so hard on yourself!  SHEESHH!!  Keep your chin up!  You're gonna get where you wanna be soon enough!!!!!!!!   Ruth
