After 110# lost I had to re-introduce, me to myself. We/I need time to bond. I am working on it, and dreaming of Plastic Surgery- to better resemble who I feel like... I am.

You are not a failure.. 100# lost ... that sounds like 100 pounds of success to me! Success comes one day, one choice at a time. Re-start today! 30 seconds of exercise today... maybe, 30 more seconds than yesturday! Start with baby steps. And keep us posted. Good luck!!!!!!!!!

The weekend is over--- it's bad weather too-- so where is everybody??? making snowmen?

:drool: MAYBE, but do they rest their breast on their wrist area? lol I had never noticed till I read this... now I can't logon with out thinking about it.:cursing: At least Rachel Ray would feed us:wink:... this girl looks like she is teasing us with- of all foods- an apple?:thumbup: Maybe she is self conscience of her left one sitting higher? :scared2: Nobody is perfect. hahahahha:tt2:

You will be i my thoughts ad prayers too!

I 2nd the GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Good luck!

I AM INTERESTED IN THE FREE HUSBAND! Does he cook, OR clean? RARE TO FIND ONE THAT DOES BOTH(MAYBE NEITHER)? I GOT RID OF ONE 2 MONTHS AGO, SO THE HONEY-DO LIST IS RACKING UP... send him my way, and after all the work is done...2-3 days I'll send him back home, or on to the next lady with honey-do list. Deal?

hahahaha... LOVE it..... why doesn't he? Maybe he can't laugh at himself? Too serious!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY ... men?

I polled 25% but it seems a bit less than that. Pro-Diet. lady said proteins and fats are usually cut so low that hair is weak, dry, brittle, and falls out easy... keep up good fats, and tons of proteins. Now that seems to be working for me. Good luck to all.

Forgot to mention above.... that price included one year of after care and fills too. Good luck.

Not sure about KC... but I was self pay doc Edwards, and just over $17,000 @ st johns springfield mo.

I do not do slim fast-ever! I do like Atkins advantage chocolate delight... not too sweet, and it's low carb. I buy fruit drinks at healthy weight super market in Springfield Mo... that come in a bottle, and you add water and shake. Lemon-razzy is my favorite. I also buy the protein hot choc. from there too. It's a warm and wonderful change from all the "cold" protein. I blend a meal replacement from the Pudding/shake powder packets they sell.... "RESSES SHAKE" thick and filling. 1 pack of choc. pudding/shake powder 1 cup water 1 cup ice 1/2 cup cottage cheese- I use fat free- 1 tbl. peanut butter blend well... if you don't like chunky texture- some do -I don't. Good luck . Hope this helps- everyone is so different!

I have no soda/carbonation - coffee some days, but caffeine is an appitite stimulant. good luck.

I too am tight in the AM... I have a liquid breakfast/protein drinks, and solids the rest of the day. I need to suppliment proteins anyway... can't "eat" enough proteins. Good luck.

I would do soup or just drink, and claim going in for some medical testing, that requires food/fasting. ????? good luck.

Breakfast---protein shake.. atkins choc. delight lunch----- avocado mixed with limon seasoning and salsa. dinner---- enchilada no tortilla and two thin mints-girl scout cookies--oops!

Maybe, Search for ticker help... sorry- but it took me forever... I have no better advice- I may get you more messed up with it. When banded my baby was 1.. lifting with legs/bent knees helped. The more they can do the better though. Helping them climb was better(or me) than picking them up for a while. Good luck and be careful.

I have read JulieNYC threads, and she had a lower profile port placed during Plastic Surgery... she may be a person to seek experience with this issue from... hope this helped.

Too many posts for quick viewing (dial up) -for example can get a thread locked... you should be able to find a new/started over- by different name usually. Maybe a search or browse through the Forum Jump? Good luck. Hope this helped.

My fill/restriction fluxuates all month long. I try to not eat till feeling full.. sometimes waiting that long is too much. Good luck.

My 2 cents... 6 weeks after surgery is for healing your band for a life time of use... This is not weight loss mode time! Mushie beans(refried) are good protein. Keep liquids low cal. and concentrate on health.. and healing, and getting in proteins. The weight loss success will come. Best wishes on your life long journey for health.

Hollygurl.... liquids..... Variety was key for me. protein protein protein... hot, cold, thick, thin, sweet, salty everything.... Hot chocolate. from HWSupermarket is warm and wonderful. They have like 5+ flavors. I loved the soothing, thick, salty, egg drop soup - minus the bits of eggs. No slim fast for me thanks , but I still like atkins choc. delight... not too sweet. Shakers of protein fruit drinks (at HWSMarket too). No grit, and also aspertame free. And of course, don't forget about plain old water... the protein helped me fight hunger, didn't rid it completely, but helped. Hoping you hear great insurance news ASAP.

Thank you to DH for the updates today.... hugs and big fat kisses from me!!! I'm sure he will get big, long kisses from LJM... just no more fat kisses! lol hugs to 4 year old DD too. Congratulations to to whole family! I am sooo excited for all. Continuing to think of you all, and send prayers for recovery too.

I almost always stay out of "complications" section... why worry needlessly. Hopefully we will never need to deal with it, and if we do... see the doc! I would spend some time finding Protein suppliments, to tolerate for a couple weeks straight, and occasional use after surgery. Everyones tastes are very different! I love atkins advantage chocolate delight, NO SLIMFAST at all. hahahah Others are not the same. You may want to look in healthy weight supermarket while you are in town. Good luck. Sorry I'm not a "sewer", no idea for best places to find fabric.... yellow pages?

FYI......... her DH is posting a new thread, I am watching closely.
