There was a heavy dew on her grassy lane. I had to seek out where the dew is from.

Sometimes Tuna Salad is hard for me to get down. I guess it's because there is really nothing to chew. I have to drink something to get it to go down. IDK, I still eat it though. It's easy for me to transport with my job as I have to take at least 8 meals with me when I go to work.

I can physically eat most things but I'm very cautious. I don't want to fall into the trap Of eating bad foods again. The friends part is really a no problem thing. My job prevents me from having "hang out buddys".

Yeah but maybe we can get Nicole Kidman and Selma Hyack to "act" in the movie version of 50 shades.

We all have or WOW moments and you my friend had a WOW moment. Good for you. Its funny when we go out. My wife always orders the highest calorie item on the menu. (she's like 125 an 5'5"). Me, I order the lowest calorie item or even just a cup of Soup. They always want to set her plate in front of me. I usually laugh and tell them, that's the ladies plate. The looks I get is priceless.

My doctor said its a must, to get a reduction before flying. The cabin pressure will make the diaphragm to enlarge.

Love me some Monster iced tea and lemonade.

Hit it and quit it. Then they can be "friends"

Ive been doing P90X for about 8 weeks and I had to take a couple weeks off due to fatigue an muscle strain. I've found my motivation is zero to restart the program tomorrow. HELP!! B

How many of you has noticed increased penis size? I guess it was always there, just hiding.

Well said. Thanks. I just more men would post on this site.

Try buying P90X, insanity, Ty-Bo or any other workout program off Craigslist or eBay. You should be able to pick them up for less than $50. You might want to try the library for a book. Excersise for Dummies. Also, only work 2 body parts a day. I E, biceps and shoulders one day, legs and back the next, triceps and chest the next. I'd suggest investing in a calorie counter/heart rat monitor to. That way you will always k ow you are in the zone and working.

Thanks for the help. I watched about a dozen transformation videos on YouTube. It's helping.

I travel for my job and the P90X allows me to do the work outs in my hotel room. I just need the motivation to get restarted.

That's good to know about the 25 grams.

When people ask me what the secret is and knowing they'd never take the challenge of lap band, (and yes, it is a challenge). I tell them I do 1 hour of P90X, a hour of Spin class, another hour of weights, eat less than a 1,000 calories a day, then another hour of yoga on the evening. Then I ask them of they'd like to join me one day. Oh yeah, I work 80 hours a week.

When at a restaurant I find the lowest calorie lowest fat item on the menu. I order it and take home at least 1/2. With my job it's nice to re-heat a good meal instead of relyin on fast food.

I'm in San Antonio. Banded 9-20-11. Down 80 pounds.

I eat 800-1000 calories a day. I've found that eating good food sometimes it's hard to get to 1,000 calories. I workout daily with P90X and do a spin class 3 times a week too. Sure I'm drained by the end of the day but that ensures good sleep for recovery for the next day. I also don't have a "work schedule" per say. I work on call and everyday is different. I eat a lot of Tuna for my Protein. I munch on raw veggies through out my day or night whatever the case may be. I'll eat a couple of eggs for Breakfast. If you feel a need for a energy boost try a low calorie energy drink.

I have UHC and the 6 months was waived. No diet plan either.

After a 15 hour shift your post made my day. I've been banded since 9-20-11 and wish I'd done it 10 years earlier. It's all good. I look forward to reading your bloggity blog.

In had my surgery on a Wednesday and went to work Sunday. You can check the FMLA requirements and then by federal law they cannot refuse then time off

If your insurance requires a 6 month wait and you have other health problems i.e. Diabetes or high blood pressure they may wave the 6 month wait. I WAS diabetic and my initial appointment was 8-10-11 and insurance said 6 months. We resubmitted and I was approved and had surgery 9-20-11.

Where are you doing the muddier this year?

I am not a pastors wife but I am a lay preacher in our church here in San Antonio. I've made it known to our church I've had the lap band as many in our church would benefit from this type of surgery. The only time I'm sad that I've had this procedure is when we have a potluck. As a chef/baker I get ambushed with request for the next potluck. If you look at my picture I'm holding a Snickers bar cheesecake from a few months ago. Yesterday it was a from scratch German chocolate Cake and a banana Eclair Cake. I get one bite just to make sure it's edible. LOL Next month I've been commisioned to smoke a brisket so we can have brisket taco's. One member said she'd make the tortilla's. Anyways, I just found this Christian section of the site and this is where I'll be looking for support.
