Thank you so much for sharing your story. It went from amazing to not so – in fact the complete opposite.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I am so very sorry to hear of your troubles. Please keep us up to date on how you’re doing.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Good luck with your new procedure, and I hope you find the answer to your weight struggles you desperately are looking for.<o:p></o:p>

When I go out to a social or family function, I just do like I always do. I eat what I feel I want. Granted since I’ve changed my life around I always WANT the right things.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I also would never choose something to eat at a place where many are around that I’ve not tried before. I want to limit my disasters to the privacy of my own home!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The band is not meant to completely limit yourself and always feel like you are on a diet. In fact, the band is for the complete opposite. It is meant to limit your intake to a very small portion(s) and to keep you satisfied until it is time for your next meal.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Have a blast!! Don’t spend all of your time worrying and just live your life being happy and healthy!!<o:p></o:p>

That is fantastic, and CONGRATS!!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well, and well enough to post the same day!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> No THAT in itself is amazing!!<o:p></o:p>

Congratulations Nick!!! Welcome to the Merry Band of Folk! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We own you now… :thumbup: BTW, I'm very glad to hear you're feeling great.

You do the same Les!! It’s so great when you lose and you feel so much more like going out and doing things. I love my band, and is quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever done, besides marrying my sweet darling husband!

Definitely EAS Myoplex!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> It comes in Choco, StrawB, and vanilla. They have several other flavors, one of which is Cookies & Cream. It is soooo delish!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> They have some for the Carb Counting folks too. I personally don’t but just in case you are reading this looking for ideas whereas that is concerned.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> They come in large size container and a package of four at GNC. I typically make them into two separate shakes and I also add Ready Fiber to it. It is an odorless, tasteless clear liquid you can add to anything to bump up your fiber content for the day. I find being banded this is kind of a problem for me. You only need two tsp. per serving.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I get my bulk Choco flavor from Sam’s Club. You get twelve bottles for about half what you would pay thru GNC.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> www.gnc.com<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> http://newreadyfiber.com/<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> http://www.eas.com/products/index.asp<o:p></o:p>

I have NO self control!! When it comes to buying new clothes… and especially shoes that is. I’ve bought FIVE NEW PAIRS in less than a week!! Gah! At least my feet look cute.

OMG… Payday is coming up.

Just wanna poke my head in and say hi! I have a feeling I will have some good numbers to report on Monday!! :biggrin2:

Well, pooping and farting are the very essence of health. For me anyway.

BBK, Im so sorry to hear about that awful story!! It really was an honest mistake. Please don’t hate or beat yourself up over it. I agree, try to come up with something that your girls can better accept. Huggs…

I’m posting just to say HI!!

Balloons…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Hi Ready!!<o:p></o:p>

Welcome Melissa,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> There is always room for more Febbies. I was banded just the day before you.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> So what are your current stats? Beginning weight, current, and goals?<o:p></o:p>

Ohhh lawd!! There’s always that one last harrah.

Well we shall surely miss you! Have a great time. I’m sure snt will do a great job while you’re away. Maybe too good.

Well now you’ve just done gone and made me jealous! I wanna sleeve too!! :eek:

Great idea!! Thanks! Thanks, and it DOES make me so happy! Shopping is my new BFF! 8 ½ feet? Ooooh you lucky girl!!! BTW, that dress sounds adorable! …and the purses… can a girl have enough of them? I should own stock in Coach! PS to all... did I mention that I am such a label whore??!

Nope, I’m only 5’6.25” I aft wonder if maybe most of my extra weight is because I workout plenty. I have a lot of muscle definition and I think it shows on the scale. I’ve always been heavier than the average in my size as well. The last time I wore this size I as anywhere from 225 to 230 Lbs. Even that was much heavier than the average. I never could figure out why that is… I don’t have a clue how I’ll ever make goal, I still need to lose 89 lbs. according to my bmi charts.

Congrats Mac!!! We want you… no, we NEED you to join our band of merry folk!

wooooooooohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! (((((froggi)))))

Hiyaaaaaaaa folks!! I just wanted to pop in and say… wussup?? I just posted a new bloggie and wanted to post a link here so you all can take a look-see. See what I’ve been up to. I miss you guys! I spend a lot of time in other forums and in chatty land. It’s fun in there! I also have some updated pics in my profile. Thought you might like to take a gander. I am only nine pounds away now from losing a grand total of 100 lbs. I can hardly even believe it!! I hope everyone is doing well, and wish you all much success with your tools!! Take good care fellow Febbies! My bloggie for the Month of July 2008: - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum
