Cheese Devilled eggs made with lowfat mayo and herbs Antipasto Salad with Assorted Veggies Small Cream Puff Shells filled with chicken or tuna salad or for dessert low fat low sugar pudding with fresh strawberries I guess that is all I can think of for now. Have a great time at your party but don't forget to pace yourself so you won't get too tired.

How are you feeling today? Are you still in the hospital? I didn't see anything posted from you today so I was just thinking about you and wondering how you are feelling? I hope you are feeling better - please let us know.

That's AWESOME news Alexandra. As a newbie I have learned so much from your posts! I hope all goes well for you! Do you have to do a pre-op diet again??? Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Even though I enjoyed Rosie on the View and looked forward to "Hot Topics" I am very tired of her now - she could have used alot more class during her last three weeks. She should stick to being a comedienne instead of putting this country down all the time. Look how much money she had made "in this country". I really don't understand why she attacked Elizabeth H. that day on the View. She came out of no where with that anger. It makes me wonder if she doesn't have some underlying emotional problems. OR do you think she did it for the last day of "Sweeps":confused:

Hi cyndilou, we need to know how you are doing today? are you still in the hospital? are you able to take more fluids and keep them down? we are worried about you so please update us if you can.

I need some positive or negative feedback on Medifast products. Thanks, shelli:help:

thanks for the awesome post! it made me smile in spite of my grumpy self!

Laure, thanks so much for this post. That is so frightening and I appreciate the heads up on this information. I do feel bad for that woman though because I know how hard it is do fight those cheating and craving demons.

No I am not banded yet as I am awaiting my insurance approval. They asked me to send pictures of myself from the years 2004 and 2005 to prove that I was morbidly obese back then. The pictures had to have real dates on them either on the front or back. I should know something in several weeks and I hope it is good news because I started this process back in August 2006. I am glad you are feeling better and I will try to get some samples of the Unjury protein - and thank you so much for your feedback on this. Shelli:)

It is very important for you to know that if you have the surgery done locally or elsewhere that the bariatric program and doctors have been awarded the Circle of Excellance designation for their bariatric programs. They have to meet rigorous standards to meet this designation and I feel it is very important for you to have surgery where they have met this qualification. Good luck in your research and don't give up.:mad:

Does anyone know if you can take this if you have hypertension?

Thanks for the info Amy! I noticed you were just banded this month and I wondered how you are doing? Are you still on a liquid diet? Did you have much pain? I hope things are going well for you!!!

IMO - I think Melinda got robbed last night. Jordin is very good but Blake is not except when he does the be bop thing. It is obvious by the longevity of Sanjaya that most of the voters are teenyboppers. Melinda will make it though - true talent rises to the top! :bandit

Has anyone tried the Focus 28 Wellness products? I have read that they have cream soups that are high in protein and good protein bars. If anyone has tried these will you post and let us know your opinion of them. Thanks!:help:

I also have very dry skin and eczema. I have found that one Omega-3 Fish Oil capsule or one Cod Liver Oil capsule per day helps. And of course there is no calories. Some people freeze these so when you take you are not burping up fish taste all day. Ugh!

Hi ya'll. Well gotta another letter from my insurance company on Friday. Now they are asking for pictures of me from 2004 and 2005. Oh and they want dates on them. They want me to prove that I am morbidly obese. I currently weigh 371, my doctor has submitted proof to this, my surgeon has submitted proof to this but still they do not believe. I guess they think I could go from 150 to 371 in less than two years??? Can you believe this??? Excuse my French but Damn ! Well I actually could gain about 50 pounds while in hibernation from January till April but --------Well here I go to look for old pictures. I hate my picture taken but I know have some somewhere here.....................They are wasting their time because I will not give in - they will cover this surgery-------- Thanks for letting me vent. Shell:omg:

Congratulations on becoming a bandster and your 24 pound weight loss.

Jade, your post is wonderful. I am going to print it out and hang in the kitchen and put a copy under my pillow at night. Thank you!

Cool, Thanks!

Hi! I also buy all my clothes online but have never bought anything from Jessica London but I love their clothes. I was wondering how they hold up after repeated washings??? I love to shop at Ulla Popken.com. They have a lot of cool styles and lately have been having good online discounts. I will try out the other sites you had mentioned too. Thanks, Shelli:cool:

oops:faint:

Thanks for the reply. How are your feeling? Are you still on liquids only? It looks like you are doing great. Take Care. Shelli:cool:

Hi Mike, well that is good news that you have the insurance companies approval. I was denied and I am now waiting for them to reconsider as I sent addtional inforamtion in. I can't believe you have to gain back the eleven pounds. That sure is healthy right before surgery(not).:rolleyes Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing. I am glad you did not give in to the red tape.
