yeah.... mmmm'kay! Uhm, they're kinda good tho... M'kay?

Schweaty weiners and Chef's salty chocolate balls are not bad... M'kay?

OMG, you guys!! I'm trying to eat my 13 lb. roast I brought for lunch! You're going to make me lose it!!

Hey miztr... my neighbor might be interested. I showed him your post. He said he'll send you a PM later, as he is busy at work at the Deathstar today. He's a frequent traveler. Anyway, back on subject: Thanks all for you fat suggestions and Protein. I did follow up the evening with the two hams (thanks WASa!) and I topped it off by eating an entire cake. I used Butter Flavor Crisco as the frosting. D-Lishus!!

Thank you Kristen, that was mighty nice of you. I'm glad things are working out for you. You are absolutely right about being more sensitive to one another. Note taken. I don't know about what transpired between you and Froggi, nor do I have any business to know - I'm just glad you are trying to make it right. I wish you all the best, and as long as you feel you did the banding in the best interest for yourself, then you did the right thing. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I started my new Food Journal today. Its noon here in Sacramento and this is what I have written in it so far: First thing in the morning: Starbucks Double shot caramel frappucino with full fat whip. Yeah, the big one. Breakfast: Denny's Lumberjack slam. Ate every bite, scuse me - I was hungry!! Early morning snack: After my nice two mile walk I was starving again so I had a two pack of Pop-Tarts. Yum! Mid morning Snack: I figured I'd eaten alot already so I needed to be a good girl. I had a banana. Only 80 calories! Woohoo! Lunch: I'm eating right now and I ordered in a nice healthy plate of Chinese food. I'm eating Chicken chow mein, pork fried rice, sweet&sour pork and because that never seems to do the trick I bought an extra large wonton soup. But, to be fair I did order some veggies too. I got some stir fry. Yeah! Well, that's up until now. I'm doing great!

Hi cheryl, I'm so glad that you are deciding to do what is best for yourself. However, I should say there are going to be days where you won't be absolutely perfect. LBT is such a place that will help you through those days. It would be nice if you could be here for those people in a positive light and be helpful. That way, those people can do the same for you. Good luck!

krissy, everyone is entitled his/her opinion. As are you - I'm kind of curious however why it is you feel this way. It seems slightly unfair to kind of do a bit of a "drive-by" post. More feedback would have been helpful to the conversation. I personally find nothing offensive in the least. It's a simple question and I highly doubt it was meant in any way to come off as such. My personal opinion is that, to each his/her own. If you can pay for it and your doctor agrees to do it, then do it. I myself would not go out of my way to spend all that money and pain if I only needed to lose 30-40 lbs. Of course that's just me. If someone else would, then I say - great for that person.

Know what I really hate? When people post just to post! Sheesh, that is so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Angela, I know it's summer time and we are all anxious to get out there and have some fun from time to time. I know I am! Perhaps you should just give your doctors office a quick call and ask the technicians there the question. The office has probably gotten this question before, and if not they can relay the message to your Dr. Most likely though it is still too soon. Your body is still forming the scar tissue around your stomach and where your port is placed. It is vital to remain less active and to stay on your prescribed diet at this time. Summer still has much time left. You'll get to go out very soon and enjoy the parks. They'll still be there I'm sure. Believe me when I say this, you'll be losing weight and you won't be able to get enough recreation time! Good luck!

...when you walk around all day rubbing your port area and not even realize your doing it while you get a few strange looks... LOL

Welcome Sherri, there's always room for one more! You're coming along nicely - be proud!

Lookin good Ezma! Great progress, you're really coming along nicely - in spite of your port problems. You're an inspiration for sure. Love the new do too!

Great for you guys! You all are seriously rockin' it! Hooohaaawwww!!!

Hey Ezma, I haven't really been around much so I hadnt seen this before. I'm so glad things went good for you! Hang in there chickie and things will start moving back in the right direction as far as your band goes. Woohoo! Back in the game -- best of luck!

Yep, from a size 10 or 9.5W to now a 9M or 8.5 sometimes. I still have a bit to lose, so I might even go down more.

LOL! Not sure if you meant that as a joke brook, but I just read that and I'm eating lunch. I'm affectionately known as the salad shooter to my dear friend who sits in the cubie.

Congrats everyone on your NSV's, that's so great!!
