Whale watching! A magic moment in my memory, of being at the lighthouse on Point Loma Ca., watching the California gray whales migrating to Baja California, mx. I was 12 years old. It still burn brightly in my memory, they were so close! -

I agree - there are awesome places all over the world, but we sometimes forget to look in our own back yards. I want to discover those unusual, fun funky, beautiful, sites sounds and smells here. I've traveled some European countries, but the USA is my focus now. I try to put together a list of interesting places where I live for family and friends when they visit- I suspect most of us do, and thought- how often do I have the chance to ask someone, an expert in their own back yard adventures? -

It's been years since I have been near camp Pendleton - a city itself! Maybe someone near there- San diego- could give more current info. The San Diego zoo, is world class. Balboa park and the museums are at least a weekend adventure. Torry pines hiking, the ocean is spectacular- but cold... You will have a wonderful trip! -

You are right, there are so many things! I have traveled to almost every state, but much of that was on a highway, I think we are looking for something outside of Florida, our hobbies are outdoor. Maybe shake it up, not do any of what we normally do. A unique town maybe, someplace beautiful, bike trails town or walk. Historical is always good, quirky is excellent! We love new adventures. Waterfalls? Special hotel? Amazing architecture? -
Bella cucina blender and Lap Band talk. I really benefited from reading post of Carolina Girl,Missy, B52, Joanne, Jim, 2muchfun, without this forum, I would have been very isolated. While the doc was my final answer, you all have helped more than you know. Many Thanks!

I'm GREEN..... I'm GREEN at last!
Kitt3000 replied to HealthyNewMe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Don't give up! Each adjustment will get you closer to where your green is. This takes time, patience and while you have that time between adjustments- use it to learn to work with your band. Try to remember, this is your new banded life and while there are times when it's one step forward, two steps back, you are making progress. It's not just the numbers on the scale, it's a new healthier way of living. It's the freedom of movement again! Measure out your daily food allotment suggested by your doctor- then do your best to stick to it today. We are all in this together, we are all here to support you! Your green zone will be here before you know it, and you'll be wondering "am I green yet?" -
Specific friend advice needed! Pic included

Big believer in things happening (or not), for reasons we don't always understand at the time. Having a family who talked about weight everyday growing up, I am reluctant to not only bring up the subject, but rarely participate and change the topic ASAP. I would like to stay focused on the person not their size. Comparisons inevitably lead to dissatisfactiion, imagined or real, and hurt feelings. As someone who works daily on her character, I find it offensive that what most people see and judge is exterior. What sparked my wls surgery journey? Being cut to the core of my very being by words that felt like a knife. You can't take words back! -
There is no better time to start detoxing then right now. You know what you need to do, just do it. When you begin to make positive changes, you will feel better about yourself. Feeling better about yourself translates into confidence. You've got this' choices made minute by minute, hour by hour, meal to meal. You have your tool, make it work for you. Make today better than yesterday.

Governor Chris Christie and the Lap-Band
Kitt3000 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Just wish more people were interested in raising other people up, instead of tearing them down. Focus more on what we have in common, rather than spotlight and hate the differences. -
What a great idea regarding the cable!
-
I stayed up late to watch it. It made me feel sad, made me feel anxious. My emotional trigger was set off, wanted to numb my feelings with food . I read a very timely post on this forum about meditation and emotional hunger. I used those techniques last night, it worked for me.

What is it like for you eating in the green zone?

Kitt3000 replied to Wendydarling19's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
For me, the green zone or sweet spot, made the hunger aspect disappear. I am on the tight side in the morning and can eat more as the day goes by. If I am busy, or just intent with something I am doing, it would be easy to forget to eat, something I have never experienced in my life before. I think anyone can eat high calorie items like cake & ice cream, but like Carolina Girl says, just because you can, does not mean you should. Its more a feeling of eating to live, not living to eat. I hope you both reach your green zone! Feel satisfied, and not deprived! Eat your protein first! Good luck!
