Info, I know you all want to get your protein in and that's important. But you also need to watch your fiber intake. I noticed that the EAS only had 1gram of fiber Kashi has 7 grams of fiber. Don't get yourself constipated. You won't like it. Maggie, You will be able to babysit. No problem getting back into life, just remember that you are still healing inside and be very careful about lifting your grandson. Keep doing the walking. I walk almost everyday plus I also work at a fitness center. Have a great weekend.

Maggie, Thank You. No I'm not at goal yet. I had a huge amount to lose. I'm looking at probably another 75 pounds and than I should be there. I know I have come along ways and I am so thankful for my Band. I'm very glad that I decided to have it instead of the RNY. That was not a good choice for me. I'm here to answer any questions you guys have, so feel free to ask me anything.

Lori, your strips and blood are normal. Just don't pick at them like I did. Your Doc will take care of them. As far as the gas, get yourself some Gas-X strips. They help out alot. And the walking also helps. Lifesavers or any hard candy should keep your mouth moist and your tummy pangs under control. Good Luck to you. I just had my second Bandiversary last week and I am down 170 pounds. If I can do it you guys should have no problems. Hang in there and just follow the rules and don't beat yourselves up.

Went to work out at Curves. Came home and did some housework and now just waiting till noon to go out and cut the grass. It's still a little to cool to do it now. We also have to go to Westlakes to get some weather stripping for the garage doors. Pam, That is one thing I miss. Eating sandwiches. I don't do to well with bread. And I have made the mistake about thinking I can wash something down with water. Nothing like spitting for fifteen minutes. As far as the pop goes, I don't drink carbonated drinks unless I don't feel good and than I do the 7up stuff. I don't have the shoulder pain with it. I just have the carbonation not going down thing. Beautiful here today so I'm hoping to enjoy as much of it as I can. Have a great day.

Haydee, Thought you might get a kick out of this. Donald Rumsfeld briefed President Bush this morning. He told Bush that three Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq today. The color ran from Bush's face, and he was visibly shaken. Bush composed himself and asked Rumsfeld, "Just exactly how many is a brazillion?"

I was free for you to call, TracyK. I actually had to drive to downtown KC around 9:30 last night to pick a friend up. But my phone was open all night. Don't ever think we wouldn't be happy to hear from you. I'm going tomorrow morning with the little girl next door and her Mom to see HSM3. Whippeeeeee. Not to much going on here today. Some yard work. Everyone have a great day.

Celebrate Good Times, Come on. We're gonna have a good time tonight, Let's celebrate. Way to go Kat.

Just stopping by to give my 2 cents. I see alot of you are talking about Unjury. I have never tried it but I want to let you know what I drink. I found that Kashi makes a drink and it's very good I have only tried the chocolate one. It's Kashi Go Lean and it has 29 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber. I found it at a local health food store here in town. As you will find yourself eating less, you will not be going to the bathroom as much. You will have a tendency to get constipated. Becareful about this. Good Luck to all of you.

It's Friday. Sorry I haven't been around. I'm dealing with a little crisis with my Sister. Everything will turn out ok, just very stressfull right now. I did manage to make some homemade chicken noodle soup yesterday. I did real good on my eating till dinner last night. The soup was so good I had two bowls. Today I have to work for several hours than I'm going to see if the little girl nextdoor wants to go to the local Haunted House. It's not one of those big scary ones. This is a little tamer. The only other thing I have planned for the weekend is Sunday. Hubby and I will be working at the "Worker House". It's a place where we go and help fix dinner and than serve the homeless people. We do this about 2 times a year and absolutely enjoy it. I like when the little kids come thru. I always sneak them some extra dessert. Everyone have a great weekend. Hugs to everyone.

Good Morning. Sun is shining here and that's great. Now if would just warm up to at least 80 but I think it's only supposed to get to the mid fifties. Oh well. Pam, I wish that I was jessie's girl. Remember when he was on GH? He is such a cutie still. Gas was down to $2.27 yesterday. Nice for everyone. Doing laundry today and I'm going to make some homemade chicken soup for tonight. Have a great day and amke good choices. Remember it's CTCD.

Jane, you are too funny. It's the Tongacrap split. Actually it's the Tonganoxie split. PS, you look good in any color.

Happy Bandiversary to everyone in October. How come we can't welcome all October Bandsters? It shouldn't matter what year. We are in this all together. We all have the same problems and goals. We can be roll models for those coming after us. Everyone have a great day and make good choices.

Good Morning, Up early for my Wednesday early shift. It's supposed to start raining again here soon. TracyKS, I don't follow the points because that is to much food for me. Unless I eat DQ. I mainly went for the support that I got. The band keeps me from eating too much and WW kept me eating the right foods. I tend to eat alot more salads and veggies when I do WW. I just was starting to have a conflict between the two and it was easier to stop going to WW than to have my band taken out.:grouphug:. Luara, What about the ringworm??? Terry, I would love to have the recipe too. Everyone have a great day.

Laura, did they give you cream for the ringworm? Or how are they going to treat it? I had a bowl of Tortill Soup from Taco Bueno today for lunch. I must say it was very good and filling.

Welcome back Judy. TracyKS. ??????????????????????? Poor Girl. You do need Calgon. Ok, I have made some decisions. One of them is that today will be my last Weight Watchers meeting. I had told myself that when I had lost 150 pounds that I would stop going. I do enjoy going but right now I have the Diet Demons going on in my head and I need to make a few changes. I'm going to the Doc's web-site and print out his band rules and post them on the Refridge. I'm going to start going to the support group meetings and I'm going to see about doing the Reboot Group thing. These little demons are running rampant in my head and I need to do something about it. They think they own my life and can make decisions for me. Well, they are not the boss. I am. I'm going to beat these little guys out of there and win. It may take me a little while but I will do this. I still do my walking but one thing I haven't done in a while is put my MP3 on and just let the music do it's thing. I need to get back to doing that. It seems that I can do alot of thinking when I have my music going. It helps me get ahold of my emotions. Wish me luck. Hugs to you all. And have a great day.

I was having such a good day so I should have known that my Doc appointment was going to suck. And suck it did. Well, not that bad. except for the weight gain. Everything else went good. It was suggested that I join the Reboot Group. :tongue2: So I left there and went to a friends that moved over by there. We had a great afternoon and enjoyed a little walk around the neighborhood. I pointed out the sumac for her so that she could keep the kids away form it. Very poisionous. Got hom around 7 and am getting dinner done. Jane, Why a ticket????

TracyK, Great, I made the candy corn peanut mixture. Now I have one more thing in my house I don't NEED to be eating. But boy it sure is some good stuff.

Good Morning, getting a few things done before I head to work. Than from there I go see the Doc. Than a friend of mine moved about a month ago and I haven't seen her since. Well she only lives about 4 miles from there, so I'm gonna go over to her house for a visit. I probably won't be home till around 7pm. Long day for me. Everyone have a great day and ditto on the make the right choices. Just wish I could get that thru my head. Hugs to all.

Getting ready to go for my Sunday evening walk with the lady on the next block over. Dinner is partially made. I actually managed to sew for about 5 hours today. I loved it. I also got caught up on stuff that was recorded on TiVo. SNL was hysterical. Even hubby got a kick out of it. Haydee, I'm so glad you had a good day. I love balloons too. Sounds like the wedding was just what everyone needed. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Hugs to you all.

Beautiful day here again today. It's supposed to get up to 70. But it is very windy. I have a walking date for 6pm with the lady on the next street over. Today is also my Bandiversary date. 10-19-06. Down 170 pounds.:w00t: I have an appointment tomorrow and I'm kind of worried. I've been retaining fluid like crazy since we ate at a Irish pud a week and a half ago. My water pills don't seem to be doing the work. Anyway I still think I could use a little fill. So I'm hoping I get one. Me and TracyK in the same water boat. Have a great day.

Spongebob is my boyfriend. I was just serenading him. Just a silly mood I was in.

:party:Happy:biggrinjester: Birthday to:thumbsup: You. Happy:present: Birthday to:cheers2: You. Happy Birthday:cake: Dear Haydee. Happy:thumbup: Birthday to:tt2: You. And:rofl: Many More.:eek: :w00t:

Are you ready, kids Aye, Aye Captain!! I can't hear you! AYE, AYE CAPTAIN!!!!!! Ooooooooooh Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants Absorbent and yellow and porous is he! SpongeBob Squarepants If nautical nonsense be something you wish SpongeBob Squarepants Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish

Beautiful day here also. If you didn't get outside and enjoy it you missed it. I took doggie for a walk. This morning I took the sheets off the bed and washed my winter flannel sheets and put them on the bed. Also got the electric blanket out and put it on. Tonight I'm gonna be all snuggly warm. I got 2 really nice compliments at church this evening. It made me feel good. Nice to know that people notice the weight loss. Haydee, I was so relieved to hear how you are doing. Really glad to know that things sre going smoothly right now. Keep it up. We went out to dinner with some friends. We went to Golden Corral. I ate a butt load of veggies. I then decided to treat myself and I had one chocolate cookie and a lemon bar. I have my doctor's appointment Monday and I don't think it's going to go well. I've lost some but not that much and than on top of that I have had some water weight gain. You can see it in my cankles. I'm hoping that I get a little fill. Need it to help me get thru the holidays. TracyK, I still have my jar of peanuts and bag of candy corn. I'll wait a little longer till I mix them up together. Have a great evening and waitng patiently for Judy to return.

In my mind I will be at the beach today, but physically I will be at work. Pam, thanks for the update on the boys. I was wondering about how they were doing. Welcome Tonya. HH. I was banded Oct 06 and have lost 170lbs. Most of that was in the first year. This last year has been very slow. Infact I think in the last 3 months I have only lost about 10-15lbs. It's not my bands fault. It's mine. I need to get my head back in the game. I still have alot to lose. I've been super busy the last few days. The girl on second shift had surgery the other day and I am doing my shift and hers. Now I'm off to go cover her shift. TracyKS. I have Saturdays off till after January. Unless I cover for someone. So I'm planning on going to the support meetings. Give me a holler if you decide to go. Hope this will get me back on track. Everyone have a great weekend. ugs to you all.
