Frozen Peach....how IS your friend doing?

I decided to transfer the post to over here to get away from all the How is your friend doing with the band so far? She looked great when I met her!

I"m LOL at that picture - OMG too funny!!!  AND so dead-on! So, to answer your question - she is doing AMAZING!  She looks AMAZING!!!  I hate her now LMAO not really but WOW I"m so happy for her...she's in like a 10 now.....and her SO told her that someone was checkin' out her assss and I said okay I'll check out your asss too LOLOL  SHe really does look good she's ridin' motor cycles with her SO now and she's in heaven over it all!!  I know some days are more of a struggle than others for her and one day she was so busy at work she ate too fast and...well....you know how that goes...so she learned her lesson the hard way there... thanks for asking - I KNOW she occasionally lurks here - I wish she'd post more.... and look at you - talkin' bout slow losers....puhleez you are blowing me outta the water with that over 40 pounds gone and me with 32 gone YGG

lol I am so glad she is doing good!!! :-)  WOOHOO!! I am amazing at my progress considering that I am still a few fills away from good restriction. I can admit, I have been working my butt off eating very low and healthy calorie meals.

Hello Elena! Thanks for asking about me! As Nadalie said... I am doing great.! The biggest struggle I have encountered is all the attention I seem to get now (all positive , but something I am not used too). I haven't  had problems with any foods (I don't eat pasta or rice at all and have had bread four times since surgery, toasted  on all occassions).  However I have suffered on two occassions from eating too fast, fortunately the feeling didn't last very long. I am scheduled for fill #4 on Wednesday.  I think I am very close to that "sweet spot"(5.5CC's in a 10CC band). Currently I am eating about 1C  of food and it keeeps me satisfied for 3-4 hours. I am looking to decrease this to about 3/4C and keeping me satisfied 5-6 hours(the dietician in my clinic reccommends  3 meals a day and NO snacks). I am averaging a loss of about 9.5lbs a month(I only update my ticker with actual clinic weigh ins, so it hasn't been updated for a month). According to my scale I should follow the same trend this month. I will update it Wednesday after my fill appointment. I try to keep my OH page updated monthly (but I am behind for fill #3...lol) As Nadalie stated I lurk here a couple of times a week. I work 10 hours a day  five days a week and have 3 children (9,10,15) to keep up with so I am away from home ALOT!  You are doing a GREAT job and I LOVE your website! Nadalie: I love you girl! ~Michelle .

YAY So happy to see you here! I have on the black jeans today that you gave me and guess what - they are BAGGY!!! LOL  Size 18 baggy - on me...WOOHOO!!! Love you too girl!!!!!

Yay Michelle!   Sounds like you're doing an AWESOME JOB with your band!!!  CONGRATS!!! MG coffee is gonna be screwed up for a few weeks (at least for ME, it will be!), but I hope we can lure you out with Nadalie sometime REAL SOON, before we forget what you look like!!! And Peach?  You say 32 like it's a BAD thing!  What's up with that?  YOU ROCK!!!

aww thanks Darla m'dear YES The next MG coffee you go to lemme know...k???
