		<description>Hi Ms Robbie! I am so happy that the blog has helped you - that&#039;s exactly what it&#039;s here for! We sound very similar as far as being on Atkins - losing weight and gaining it back (although you kept it off for a lot longer than i did)! As far as the question about the percentage...can anyone here help out with that? I&#039;m not an expert on lapbands...just a lil&#039; ol&#039; blogger. Mr. Robbie - I am very jealous that you are such a good cook. I have about 5 dishes that I can make and that&#039;s about it. You must post some of your favorite recipes to my blog! And I&#039;m sure your husband will come around when he sees how super sexy you look!!!

		<description>Howdy from Texas!

I love your blogs- :)

I am being banded on April 16th. A little scared, but your information has helped me. 

I am 47 and now weigh 240. I too lost weight on Atkins and kept 35-40 lbs off for 2 years....just got so tired of the limited diet...( don&#039;t want eggs any time soon!)

I am concerned about the mental part of the diet. I mean for all my life, I have been addicted to overeating....My skinny husband can&#039;t understand the big deal...just push back the plate...but if it were only that easy. 

I wonder how it will be when I go out to eat -I don&#039;t want to be a party pooper. Also right now I am a wonderful southern cook. ( Think Paula Deen) My husband worries that I won&#039;t want to have anything to do with food. 

It helps to know that others have gone down this same path.

Question: The packet from the DR. says that I can expect to lose 30% of my excess weight.. I need to lose 100 lbs to be 140- ( I am 5&#039;6) but have never been that small. Should I expect to lose only 30 lbs? That&#039;s all I can do? Seems like we would be really tiny eating a few oz&#039;s per day compared to what I intake now. 

How are you feeling now?

Thanks,
Ms Robbie</description>
