I think you should do what I do, add a couple of hams to each meal to get your protein in. I don't think there is enough fat in there either. I'd add a couple of cups of olive oil, you know... the healthy kind. Or, just use butter. It's good too. Froggi is right, you'll poop like a champ!

Works for me!

It seems as though the whole entire universe is in an uproar lately. Green and I were chatting about this via email earlier today. It's all over, people are weird lately, they are stressing, volatile, rude, freaking out kinda weird. Maybe it's the Water...

Ohhhh, Peanut butter, Jam, and Potato chip sammichs! Mmmmmmmm!

HA~ you make me LOL in real time.

Onnnly if the pizzas have pineapple on them! Long, stringy pineapple. That's a fav! Heh... with a sleeve *I* can eat them and bread. neener neener! Okay, so like I can't eat them until I'm done with soft foods and ham, but when I'm done with soft foods and ham, *I* can have pineapple and bread. (cackle cackle)

Oh for goodness sakes! If you want support then go to one of the gazillion support forums here on LBT. This is the LOUNGE~ Instead of slam dunking everyone that doesn't agree with you perhaps a better question would have been to ask the history behind the post. Never mind reality, just keep insulting people.

Sorry about what is going on with your FIL. That really sucks.

:::looking to see where I am posting::: Oh hell, to hell with the newbies. There is an idiot that BELIEVES I ate three hams, 15 chickens, and a blooming onion in 20 minutes days after my sleeve surgery. Gahhhhh How the hell will the girl ever figure out a band?? http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f7/just-ate-66642/index8.html#post901809

Noooo, carbonation is not good for WLS folks. I save my carbonation days for when I drink a few cases of dew or diet coke! I just got back from the store. I want chicken lasagna. I bought it and I'm contemplating if it is a soft food or not. LOL I want solids in the worst way. I guess I'll just have to go back to my 3 hams daily until I get to solids.

Nonono... champagne! Here, Froggi! Have a couple of bottles. I'll share.

Cheryl, I'm at goal so to be really honest, you are preaching to the choir here. We have fun here, that's how it works. In the meantime, have a ham? Or would you like one of our blooming onions?

Our diets need a certain amount of fat too, I think a blooming onion would have almost enough. What do you think?

I kept doing the same thing. Now I'm trying to gain, went a little overboard! Isn't it great to be at/near goal? Did anyone ever think it was going to happen?

I did! I was hoping to meet you for lunch when you are in town. Is that next week? YES! You damn sure do qualify for the close to goal group! Congrats to you! The last fill must be working, eh?!?!

Many people are uninformed about the world outside of the US. Expand your knowledge base and do some research. Who do you think perfected the band? Who do you think perfected the surgical technique that is being used throughout the world today? Yep, Mexican doctors. I don't know if it is yellow journalism or a lack of education in public schools but care outside of the US can be superior to the US many times. You won't find many banded folks that reach goal and WANT to go to a US surgeon, most ... after having had banding in Mexico want to go back and find a Mexican plastics doctor.

Are you referring to food as an addiction? If so, I'm going to have to disagree with you. I think it is more of an obsession vs. addition.

My knees hurt when I lay on my side too, but I'd rather have thin than comfy knees. ;o)

I think the last time I was a size four I WAS four years old too! I was having band problems. I got to goal (130-135) and started having band problems. I finally threw in the towel and got a sleeve. No aftercare was a big issue for me too. I just couldn't eat solids anymore and I was unfilled. I was on liquids for 4 months (as of now, including the post op diet) and losing more weight than I wanted. Of course this couldn't have happened during my weight loss stage, it just had to happen after I hit goal. ;o) Murphy's Law or something like that? Yep, I lost my bubblebutt completely, I think I have a dent where my butt used to be. :thumbup:/

'yer welcome! I'd have six if I were you. I hear they only have about 1800 calories each. Gotta keep your strength up!

MicheleK is correct, WLS is Weight Loss Surgery. Here is my OH blog, it kinda explains some of the stages: ObesityHelp - Gastric Bypass, LAP-BAND Or, this and click on Feb/08: MidwesternGirl's Profile
