Besides, there are lot of benefits from this incisions. Moreover, this is not an easy thing for most people. There are few minor side effects and burdens that you may experience after this one, but its not permanent. <a href="http://gastric-lap-band.com" rel="nofollow">Phoenix lap band surgeons</a> says that "Surely, it will be worth after all."mintradzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050102318952494176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-36263089752055449912010-10-13T03:41:16.556-07:002010-10-13T03:41:16.556-07:00Isn't patience a card game you play by yoursel...Isn't patience a card game you play by yourself :P<br /><br />Good luck and I'll be watching to see how you go; because I need some patience too.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059225189818297139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-76535399184126928852010-10-12T17:53:30.379-07:002010-10-12T17:53:30.379-07:00What has always helped me when I'm in a weight...What has always helped me when I'm in a weight loss funk but am still there and motivated is to do something relatively radical for 2 days or so. With the band, that might mean liquids. Before the band that might mean getting super anal about writing down every drop that passed my lips and setting a lower than normal calorie goal for those 2 days. Something that sort of reminds me that I can do what I need to do. Sort of like... man, I just did liquids for 2 days, I can certainly make sure I get my protein in day to day...<br /><br />Good luck!Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065650807764320970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-66768538138282669102010-10-12T16:38:52.011-07:002010-10-12T16:38:52.011-07:00Patience is not my strong suit either.Patience is not my strong suit either.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-29482341334231411392010-10-12T14:56:54.835-07:002010-10-12T14:56:54.835-07:00Like Tina said...I was going to mention water weig...Like Tina said...I was going to mention water weight as a possible cause on the waist measurement. <br /><br />I was back and forth on the daily weighing. There seems to be many views on the issue. I personally decided to continue to go with daily weigh-ins, but I record my Wednesday weigh-ins. I am also trying to do a better job at journaling what I eat because sometimes I think I am not eating as much, but if I am sure to write it down, then I actually see when I am not doing as good as I thought. (I hope that made sense.) <br /><br />Anyways...sounds like you have a plan though. and a big hug right back at ya!Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285169465853880753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-10875003901068545072010-10-12T14:31:43.885-07:002010-10-12T14:31:43.885-07:00yup..that happens but...over the long road it will...yup..that happens but...over the long road it will all get smaller and lighter. I know it is REALLY hard to see things staying the same or getting a bit bigger but they just do. I have even found that water weight gain now shows up in my waist measurements. I might have before I just didn't measure.<br /><br />Like Robin says-it is the big picture that is important. If daily weighing will drive you crazy only do it once a week. I weigh everyday but try to only register good news. I think everyone has to figure this part out for themselves. what they can take patience wise and measurement wise.<br /><br />xxxoooTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-82700848351442843122010-10-12T12:08:41.359-07:002010-10-12T12:08:41.359-07:00Xanax.

So...Weight is always going to vary from day to day. Sometimes up, sometimes down. I've weighed myself every day for the past 15 months (barring vacations, etc) and have charted each and every weight. If I look at a month's records (any month from month one to month 15) its full of ups and downs but always end up down from the beginning. When I look at the graph for the whole journey it looks smooth as silk flowing downward... which in the end is all that matters but there is a lot of ups and downs throughout the whole journey.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-34590183559718574472010-10-12T11:36:08.919-07:002010-10-12T11:36:08.919-07:00I weigh myself once a week.

Just consider it practice for when you hit goal and your weight doesn't change AT ALL!<br /><br />Not sure what to think about the waiste measurement. I'm inclined to go with your husband, but it sounds like you know what you're doing. Maybe you've got some sagging skin going on? I sure do!Amanda Kiskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035180757671095192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-15726916499906486032010-10-12T11:33:59.710-07:002010-10-12T11:33:59.710-07:00I measure every Sunday when I get up and it's ...I measure every Sunday when I get up and it's always interesting how I can lose weight for the week, gain inches all around. Other weeks, I gain weight and lose inches all around. I've decided that the notion that things shift before a big loss is really true. I can tell with the jiggle of the tummy that it's about to drop a bunch...and then when it's holding steady, it kinda firms up.<br /><br />You are absolutely right, patience is hard. I think you've got a good plan for this week. As for how I get through it...I just laugh. It truly is comedy. If you've lost weight, and at night, no less, not even first thing in the morning (for me, I'm always up at night, so when I see a drop at night, I know a real drop is coming) and inches are down elsewhere...all you can do is laugh at the waist, I think.<br /><br />Now...if we could just live in a world where tape measures and scales and body parts all could agree to agree!LDswimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047339088972152520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-18390522507858154242010-10-12T11:33:00.175-07:002010-10-12T11:33:00.175-07:00I tried this once because I was starting to feel a...I tried this once because I was starting to feel a little crazy when the scale stopped moving when I went from mushies to solids... It was driving me bonkers. I did ok, but I still got on the scale twice in the middle of the week...<br /><br />I think you have a good idea. Buckle down for a week and take note of what you are eating/doing and then check the scale. <br /><br />It's amazing how these seems so slow sometimes, isn't it?Mary H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17487661455711810875noreply@blogger.com
