Ute, better be careful, cedartown will have our heads!!!!

Val, you know if you joined us, the platonic part would be thrown out, right?

willi333 (Ute), willT (Bill) and I are heading to Roswell, GA this Sunday, June 22 for a fill/adjustment. Our spouses are joining us so this will be purely a platonic get together! Awwww shucks ::kickin dirt::: If anyone else is going to Roswell Sunday or lives in the area, let us know. We'd like the opportunity to meet our fellow bandsters. bandgroupie/Dawn

YAY for losing 2 more pounds. Sorry about the NASTY!!! tasting vitamins. Get something better - flintstones chewables or centrum liquid. No reason to gag

Definitely call Dr. Miranda and be honest with her - BEFORE YOU FLY OUT!

Hi Holly and welcome to bandland and here's hoping you will become a frequent poster on the channel. Obviously we need more women (no offense Dolittle, willT and cedartown)! YES YOU DID IT!!!! WAY TO GO :) Can't wait to get to know you better!

Cedar, You didn't have anything to do with Paula Dean's restaurant, Lady & Sons, burning down Sunday night, did ya?

Too funny Michelle. You know willT was right on that. Even though I told Dr. O that I came to his clinic to find the body that matched my ankles, I'd be happy being a size 10 again. It's been 7 years or so. The ankles just need to get bigger so I'll be all set. Anyone know how to make ankles bigger?

Are you interested in relocating to Knoxville, Tennessee [quote name='NewImage' date='Jun 16 2008, 06:35 PM' post='342 Just wanted to pass along that I'm happy to help band patients with adjustments etc... I'm in Kalispell MT. Regards, Christopher Rost, PA-C New Image Clinic 406-756-5985

You can bring them with you!!! Just check your luggage. There are also convenience stores - ask the driver to pop into one!!

Great idea. Be careful with pain relievers. I had a horror story. I needed something for pain and thought I'd open a liquid gelcap. Well, I did and that stuff was AWFUL, I spit and choked and gagged for what seemed like hours. Be sure you have liquid pain reliever or chewable pain relievers!!!!!!!

Dianna, You might check with your airline. I know beverages in carry on luggage are restricted but am not sure about checked baggage. PRESCRIPTIONS: It's always wise to CARRY ON your prescriptions in case your luggage gets lost. They need to be in a large ziplock bag. LIQUIDS (BEVERAGES): But, if you have makeup, lotions, and possibly boxed apple juices, you might be able to pack that in the LUGGAGE that you will CHECK and not carry on the plane with you. I took a large bottle of shampoo, large tube of toothpaste, etc. No restriction on the ounces. Again, check with your airline!

You are doing wonderful Kim!! Absolutely wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Don't set yourself up to become an alcoholic while you're being superior in your weight loss BE STRONG!!!!!! BE DRIVEN!!!!!! BE SOBER:P

TONIGHT is our Monday Night Group Chat - be there or be square. It's where we can let our hair (or hairs for some) down and get to know one another. Also where we can talk "band" in real time. Another great way to support one another!

Proud of you Cedar. Keep up the good work

Well we have to remember it took us a long time to gain this extra weight we are carrying around. Any weight loss is a plus! It might take us time to get to get our band where we need it to be for weight loss. But I'm confident we will get there. Please don't be unhappy with your results. Just keep on chugging. I think many make the mistake of just giving up and not going back for an adjustment. It will work.

YUMM-O

Told ya it was good!! Great photo!

At home I bought a bottle of apple juice and a bottle of white grape juice and I dilluted them. Make sure you dillute otherwise you'll have a few accidents :0 I bought Centrum Liquid Vitamins but others have recommended chewable flintstones. I'm sure there are others but liquid worked best for me. If you are checking your luggage, you might take some boxed juices with you on the plane so you don't have to pay 3.00-4.00 a glass of juice in the hotel restaurant. Good luck. I'm so excited for you!

Great photos!!!!!!! Congratulations on your weight loss Paula!
