I was dropped off by a friend and then they were called to pick me back up. All went seamlessly! Another friend then came by and took me to the pharmacy to get my meds. ( because I wanted to move around) I can't imagine it being different for you ( unless you don't want to go it alone)

I am giddy abut these things. How crazy is that? Ha!

Got my ass kicked by the band this morning and I'm pretty pissed! Was hungry so I had a sliver of roasted chicken, eaten slowly and then 3 raspberries. You would have thought I just drank gasoline and washed it down with a stick of dynamite! I have never thrown up with the band, I have pb lightly with little incident but I literally had to stop myself from vomiting this morning, gut wrenching, for fear I would do damage. Wtf was that?

Super thrilled. My honey let me get these. They are one year old from a very rich family and they came with the drawers.. Paid $900 for the set AND there is still a 4 year warranty on them. Woohoo!

I'm so jealous!,, u all look beautiful!!

Awe I hate to read that you are sad. But life happens to the best if us I guess! I love you all dearly and hope we can meet too one day! I am siting at the movies for a free screening of despicable me 2 that I signed up for on the Internet.. So cool we are all here and it was free!!! Got great seats too! Ttyl

Congrats! Stay ahead of the pain for the first few days with your meds. Cherish this time for you. These are the days that define the new you!

It was hard but after three days it was easier. I guess it helped the transition but I'm sure the surgery alone ( if you take it serious) is a transition, Have u checked out the YouTube videos of the lapband procedure? It's pretty cool!

I am sure there are a lot of other factors involved in this discussion and mine is just a side note on the subject, one not to be discarded easily. But in comparison to other countries our food supply is tainted and our percentage of obese people is higher so you must look at all factors. That was my point.

Morning all! It would have been my dads 65 BD today! He died when I was 1 1/2 in an auto accident. I have two memories of him. One snow mobiling and one in church. And it's raining today in sunny California. How fitting! Have a great week everyone!

Obesity is a disease and we are dependent on the chemicals. I'm just going to add this: Why is it that in the 80s the average size if a woman was a size 8 and now it's a size 12? Do you know the chemicals that are in even the healthiest of foods? Our pork and chicken are stuffed full of arsenic, estrogen, caffeine and anti-depressants so it is more appealing and available in higher quantities for a lower price. This is just 2 market items! TWO! Add this fact to our own addictive behaviors and you have a nation of people who are eating themselves to death. We are to " blame" but we sure have a lot of help! The strong ones are here trying to make a change. This is my rant on government conspiracy! (I did a 12 pg research paper on the subject. Sure is enlightening! )

Maggie, A lot of surgeons don't require the pre op diet. Mine did. The Protein and the liquids you will use after surgery so don't worry too much about your purchases. Lapband requires a lot of aftercare so it's good you switched and you mesh with someone you like ad who respects you. Best wishes to you!

Uneventful day... Thank goodness!! Did homework. Finals start tomorrow. Gotta get em all done by Thursday. Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

I thought I was the only one..good to hear that there are others who weigh every day too.

Hello! I wish I could sleep past 6 am! Oh well. I do take naps though. Yesterday I went to see my friend who is bedridden. she had an operation on a hernia. She's the only one that I told that I had lap band. She let me raid her closet for clothes and oh my goodness I got the cutest stuff. She's not very skinny anymore so she can't fit into all these beautiful clothes. She shops at Ann Taylor, loft and J.Crew. So I got these beautiful dresses and tops and summer suit oh my God I'm so happy. It's a great way to have a wardrobe while I'm losing weight because once I'm done with them I'll give them back to her. Carol, what kind of stain do you use? My mom's husband just made me a beautiful flower box that I need to stain before I put the flowers in. And what to you line it with so the wood doesn't get ruined? ( How many questions from a little city girl) Terri, I wish I knew how to quilt! I have always loved them was never taught to sew. And now I just don't have the time. Janet, I love being busy as long as its a good busy. I think I would sleep for a week if i had nothing to do and be super lazy, never clean my house. So having a busy life keeps my adrenaline up enough where i actually have energy to clean the house too if that makes any sense. What is everyone else doing today. I'm doing homework and cleaning my house today, so pretty mellow. If I get it all done today then I can do one of my finals tomorrow, one on Tuesday one on Wednesday then I'll be off of school until the 6th of July! Has anyone tried the herbalife protein shakes? I'm going to order one canister along with their protein boost to make the shakes 30g of protein with 170 cal. Seems a bit high in calories but they are intended as meal replacements soooooo... I got ones kind of shake from Walmart and they just don't do the trick. I added a shake to my diet because I don't feel like eating in the morning but I need to because of the workouts. I'm not too tight in the morning to eat I just feel l just couldn't even look at anything.

I think you have to be cleared by your doctor first. I'd call and ask.

I am! Have a hard time sleeping past 5. I didn't go to the gym this morning but I made it three times this week which is one past last week! How's Sushi? I was thinking about my rottie yesterday. 3 years now that she passed. I still get choaked up about her. I went online to look at rescues or pups but I really just don't have the time or energy for either.

Me too. Sexy mamma.... Sundress sundress , sundress! My twin knows me... I'm just busy. A crazy week.

I am so jealous! I am 30 from goal ad want a tt and ba so bad I can hardly wait.

Fish fillets with cumin, chili powder, salt and lemon juice rubbed on real good. Grill with non stick spray and top with finely shredded cabbage diced tomatoes and avocado. I add a dollop of Greek yogurt and tobasco. You could put this in grilled corn tortillas to make tacos or not. It is my Mexican take on fish tacos. LOVE IT!
