Topic: RE: Looking for bandsters who are 2+ years post op
Hello! I ate just a handfull of white chocolate candy tonight! I wanted the whole bag! We moved to a new apartment this past summer after living in a townhome community for 11 years. At the old place we always had 300-400 trick or treaters every year. My husband didn't realize that in apartments there are usually just a few trick or treaters if that. So, here I was with 12 bags of candy on my table. I did eat some( a very few in my opinion)! Pieces not bags! Anyway, My husband came home and took them out of the apartment! Yeah for him! I think he returned them to the store. I'm so thankful. I just don't have control over the sweet thing yet. I'm getting there! I told him that I didn't care if he threw them in the trash, just don't tell me about it!
Anyway, enough of my drama! How are you feeling? Better I hope!

Hi Janet.
I'm sorry to hear Hannah may be feeling unwell. Just take care of her and your exercise time may have to wait for a bit, but you will get to it in time. I hope Hannah does feel up to going to the circus that sounds like alot of fun. Let me know how you go.
Take care and long live white chocolate (in moderation of course).

Ashely that happened to me too. I couldn't post on the main boards using Internet Explorer. I have to use mozilla firefox browser for this site to not have any problems. You can find it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ it's just an alternative browser to Internet Explorer. You can have both on your computer and just jump between the two.

Wow! You are an inspiration to for me! I'll have to step up my workouts! Good job!
Hannah is not feeling well today. She isn't running a temp, but she has layed on the couch all day with a blanket. She never does this unless she is ill. She is a very active child. We are suppose to goto the circus tonight, but I'm not sure she's up to it. My dh is in pharmacy school. He usually studies alot on the weekends so Hannah and I do things together. Maybe she'll feel better tomorrow.
I didn't get my walk into today! Hannah didn't feel up to going with me. I couldn't leave her alone.
I love white chocolate anything!!!Yum!
Chat later

Ashley, you might find it useful (as I do) to go on the main lapband baord rather than the Australia one. Virtually everyone on there is from the US although the number of Brits, Ozzies and Canadians is creeping up. So our experiences of the medical systems may be different but we all have the same surgical procedure and once I got used to thinking in pounds for my weight I have found the site invaluable. The advantage of the main lapband site over the country one is simply the number of posts; lots! Whereas on other sites there may only be one a day or even less.

Just wanted to thank you all for the helpful replies.
It's good to know that there are friendly thoughtful people out there like you...
Dr. George Fielding is one of the "pioneers" of the lapband surgery, as many of you may know he also has one himself.
I am very interested in having the surgery again, however there are a few limiting factors,
1) time off work
2) cost
3) waiting period

Hi Janet, how are you?
As you said in an earlier post, it's a small world with my husband being born in Michigan. I'm just lucky we ever got to meet and then marry, who would of thought it.
Anyway I have just had a re-assessment with my exercise program and wow i'm going to be busy and tired, but hopefully alot fitter and lighter on the scales. I just have to maintain sticking to the program. That was my problem last time, i just get bored then lost interest.
My workout starts with a row machine for 7 mins, then chest presses, shoulder pressess, using free weights for triceps and biceps, crunches and lunges with the fit ball, 20 mins on oliptic machine, 20 mins on bike and 5 min cool down on treadmill.
I'm also thinking about going along to Yoga classes as i very much enjoyed those classes a few years ago, which really helped with my flexibility and core strength.
It sounds like you are also doing well with your walks with your dog and workouts, not to mention an active daughter Hannah, which must keep you on your toes.
Chocolate, chocolate chocolate....hmmmm i love it. I could live on it quite easily. White chocolate filled with raspberries is my failing, but only in moderation of course. Ha ha.
Anyway take care.
Good luck with coming up with ideas to keep Hannah entertained.
