You are correct!

I've been practicing eating my meals no faster than 20mins even though I have not been banded yet (Sept). It's true, it takes the brain that long to feel satisfied.

Girlfriend, You'll do fantastic if you make sure you get your 60gr of protein first, then good carbs. Don't forget 64oz of water. You can do this!!!

@Carolina, yea baby, that's what biker chicks are all about!!!

Come on people, Model is a troll & I think she could be related to a couple other posters on LBT.

Carolina, Your hub is a smart man.

Oh are you going to hear from a lot of banders about " Dr said lap banders don't regain their weight".

That's why I thought the band would work for me, I will do anything to avoid throwing up!!!!! At Psych Eval "Do you ever make yourself throw up to lose weight?" Me: "oh, h@#l no!!!!!!"

Well if you get that bike it already has a radio. Any trouble I'll be calling my Hot Pink B!@#H!

OMG,ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jean,Jim & Bandarama!!!!!

I was going to say you needed the pink dohinky things on your handlebars!LOL Oh, they'll know when I hit town... Eleanor always causes a scene!

Myrtle Beach sounds great, but I promised my momma I'd come and spend the weekend with her. I'm off to Gainesville tomorrow morning until Sunday. That bike suits you, I want a radio on my bike.

That's why my dietician said it was important to journal, so you can go back and see what aggravated you. The importance of keeping a journal!

Carolinagirl, let's start a girls motorcycle club called The Hot Pink B@#$H's

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

Never wear heals, almost broke my neck today wearing flip flips. Can't even wear my Harley boots right now. (bad knees )

Yes, thank you for sharing! I love potatoes!

Hello Margo & Bfleming! Not banded yet myself, but I have been stalking this forum for 6mths and hoping for late Sept banding date. There is a lot of useful information here and I suggest you research everything really well. Information is knowledge and the more you have the better things will work for you. Good Luck!

I was one of the lucky ones and got my license before law was changed and classes were added. My husband & I have been married 40yrs in Nov, and we started on dirt bikes waaay back when. After both our daughters left home & got married we got into street bikes. Lot more easier on the old joints. I'm glad you & your wife stayed cool for your son, not many people do that. Yep, the old ex looks pretty small. Glad it worked for her and I hope I look that nice on my bike soon.

My husband also works for a huge Fortune500 company, so mayyybeee I'll get lucky!!!!

Exsentrick, That is cool! A family that rides together, stays together. How old is your son?

!!!! Does your husband call you his b@#$H? That makes the difference.

LOL!!!! I've been known to do all that plus cut my toenails, shave my legs and remove all my jewelry. I got me some heavy hairy legs you know! What's wrong with us?!?

Welcome Emily!!! You sound like me other than I'm 56yo and I'm not a nurse. As far as all the diets and failures, yep me too! I think everyone on this forum has been there,done that. I'm still waiting on last PCP appt next week before paperwork can go to Insurance, so I hoping for late Sept. banding. Glad to hear you're doing a lot of research before banding. Good Luck & keep in touch!
