Nana~

Thats about what I lost too, Sounds like your doing fine :grouphug:

My father drinks this, 2 years ago his liver almost completly shut down and he still cant eat anything with any salt or msg basicly anything w/ taste. He drinks this shake mixes it w/ cranberry juice everyday and his live is starting to heal some~ now he has issues of where he has low blood pressure and the new liver growing making clots behind his knee's but that another story. I think the aloe juice really helped him alot!

I would like to thank any/everyone who went to my site Double D Donations.com or Trufolk.com I am very excited to say, not only did I receive my 1st 10.00 donation but I made 27.00 in ad clicks just from people taking a look around my sites! Making my donation pot 37.00 for the first month! Woot! Thank you Thank you!

Woot! I'm off til next monday! I started my new job on Sat. It the weekend shift ~ I wirk Sat-Sun-Mon. However its the end of quarter so we get next weekend off! woot lol My feet hurt my legs ache and Im ready for a Rita! just let me shower and in my pjs real quick and thats what Ill be making!

Nope. I work @ Dell on the weekend 5-5:50 shift its just alot of standing and back and forth walking within a 3 foot area lol alot of bending and reaching too. I feel like I slept in todat and its only 7:30 am! lol I need to get up clean the house and weork on my website more. blah...

Ya, Ive seen this show too. I have to agree with what I heard on another tv show about this one, "They make all the kids look like 40 year old serialkillers". (HAHA at first I typed cerealkillers...Im sure there that too LOL) I dont like the age images. My daughter likes this show though,she cant believe theres kids out there that wont eat vegies or fruits and I think she like seeing how the kids react to no tv no computer kinda stuff. Last nights show she said was a good idea to give all that junk away at fleamarket instead of trashing it.

WB Ive missed seeing your Jack skelly pic around. hehe Hope all is going well for you, I know its gotta be hard. Hugs~ (Nana~)

I know Ive already posted I got a new job, but I actually start at 5 am tomorrow morning. So Im getting ready to go to bed because Its been along time since I had to get up at 4am... Grouchy me.. Like I said its a temp job I will be leaving this assiment when we take the kids to fl for the summer but when hubby and I return June 4th I will be reassigned to a new area or the same. The thing I need good luck w/ is the fact that this is a weekend job and the kids will be at my sis in laws the next 4 weekends, and Mondays our neighbor will take them to school along with her son. As long as it all goes as planed I should be okay...But if no care for the kids then I need to be home... Just four weeks please let this workout for 4 weeks then they'll be at grand mas! Okay Im nervous Wish me luck!

Thanks ya'll Had a good day. Im exahusted though must shower and sleep my legs hurt so bad!

Thanks Marimaru~ Im off to work! Hugs~

Sigh... Those of you who know me, know I hit 183 then all this mess happened and I had to get unfilled twice now. Well I seem to be doing good this time no indjestion pb's slimes etc The thing is with out a fill for basicly 4 months cause I was filled then unfilled for 7 weeks then filled then unfilled again 3 weeks later for 2 months. I gained 17 fricken pounds... Now Im balancing on the 200 mark will it go up or down? Ive had my fill now almost 3 weeks and can eat the right amount doing my exersize Water etc the darn thing wont move! Normally its like this for me 3 weeks nota then wham -5 pounds but I was really hoping to hurry up and get back to 183! where I was! just letting of some stress steam... Any ideas? Also I need to find something that does not make you gasy but will help me go~ you know I gotta go~ but things seem to have come to a hault Arrrg

Hehe thanks Ill try that out, I do keep a journal fitday.com.Im just not very good a filling out its IMO a pain in the ass to look up food read the label etc. If its just cal I can do that. Ill try the 800/1200 thing.

Mc D's fries did the same to me! I thought Id die! never again. If fries are a must have lol I sugest steak fries there thicker softer etc. I can handle them in moderation. My Dr. told me once that alot of his patients complain that they cant eat fried starchy foods, they make them sick.

I been having issues I havent been posting about tightness indejestion had a unfill 1 month w/out then refill and it took 3 weeks but then again happened. So I went 3 months 2 months w/out a fill completely empty! It's been about 2 weeks now since fill and so far so good keep your finger Xed! Just thought I'd share

exactly. My Dr. kept saying Id be back in , in a few weeks for another fill but Nope Im still doing just fine I'm eatting the correct amounts. What weird is the weight isnt moving lol I know it takes time. Im not one of the people you read say I lost 2 pound then next week 2 and so on...I seem to stay at a stand still for 3-4 weeks then wham 5-6 pounds are gone then again...so Im trying not to think about the fact that going w/o a fill put me walking down the 200/199 line again...

That sounds good Maudei thanks! I'll have to try that out~ I also eat jerky with no issues as long as I really chew it good thats not prob. for me cause I like chewing all the flavoring out lol

LOL The hubby and I are bottling our cordial tonight! It looks SO pretty and tastes yummy too! This is our first batch it got all sorts of berries in it, took forever to strain... doing the last strain right now then they go to the bottles! YAY! We made 5 Gal. of it! The next cordial I want to make is pure blueberry~~ yum yum! Also we have 5 Gal of Honey mead in the making~ once we get it all in the bottles it's said not to drink it for "Atleast" 1 year...Oh man... On Christmas we drank the last bottle of our last batch and that was a 10 year old bottle...So its been awhile! Okies excited just thought I'd share! :grouphug:

Yup I did! I start on Sat~ The work week is Sat-Sun-Mon 36 hours paid for 40 thru a temp agency working @ Dell. Got my composite toe boots and I'm ready to go! The work day starts at 5 am to 5:30 pm! Hope I wake up LOL Shouldnt be a issue, Hubby works the same shif be he is on perm. not a temp~

WHEW, 20 bottles later its now 4am but Im done with the cordial!!! Here are some photos if anyone is interested.. Later today we start the mead~ See how clear the cordial is! Im so happy no floaties in at all! looks like store bought wine sept this is made w/ Vodka! The color is a deep cranberry very pretty.

I'm 28 years old I was 26 when I was banded. I am happy I got it done at my age! Wish I had done it sooner! I tell everyone who asks me about it I think its wonderful and recomend it if your willing to work with the tool. Some people "need" surgery to help with the excess skin other may or may not want it. It has alot to do with genetics and age also how fast you lose the weight. I've heard more bypass patients need it because the rapid weightloss but I dont know that for a fact. I did go thru a phase of why did I do this, but then as soon as I started seeing the results I knew why and I was happy. foods are a hit and miss thing for each of us..I reccomend keeping a journal of your intake for the first month or so.That way if you get gassy PB or whatnot youll have a journal of exactly what you ate and maybe test that food at a later date. I read alot of people cant eat things like salad raw veggies rice and noodle and bread. the only thing I cant eat out of that list is bread..Everyone is Differ. Hope this helps some :grouphug:

OH lol well I dont know who you were in past ussernames :grouphug: I'll be building so nope if you crash its not me lol I just gonna put them together the software is a differ dept

Third, Please allow us to delete our own posts. Im one of the trouble makers and Im sorry but I honestly did not know it would delete everyones posts and I asked for it to be put back. "Ducks and hides"

I sew for trufolk.com thru the week and I've started making Belly dance belts and rebuilding my websites lol laundry clean the normal LOL

Welcome to LBT! Congrats on your banding! It takes time, you'll learn the signals of your body. when it comes time to start real food take small bites and chew chew chew til its paste! you shouldnt start real food too early because you tummy is still swollen and healing. I was not hungry thru out the day like your talking about for a few weeks. PB is productive burping~ Burping up food. normally cause from taking that one bite too much. From what I've read if your band slips you cant even drink Water nothing will stay down. Others will be able to tell more info on that~ :grouphug:

not that I know of really, however one summer we were at the lake boating and his dad pulled the boat up next to the dock for me to get in because he said I may not be able to use the latter...He didnt mean it to be mean and he was prob. right but it still hurt I didnt wanna go boating after that :grouphug: I felt too fat to go
