Those are cute. Though I havent been banded Ive begun planning. I recently purchased a few sets of bento boxes they hold about 1/2-1 cup of food each and there really cute.

I just joined a gym so my goal is to go at least 4x a week for 1 hr workout plus keep up my walking routine.

My dad and brother have Chrons disease to be honest if you take care of it and take your meds and ensure that you stop irritating your system by not consuming things that irritate it you should be ok. They told my dad that so long as he stayed on a healthy diet he would be ok but if he didnt that loss of intestine and bowel can happen. They both are fine now and have had to adjust there diet but other then that a ok you should be fine just follow drs orders

I was told not to get into any contact sports, no martial arts, boxing etc has anyone heard differently? I want to take Crav Manga with my husband.

so wait some people can burp and some people cant? I wonder if it has anything to do with how tight your band is. I dont want to be farty thats one of the reasons I didnt want rny the whole gasy stinky part.

Does anyone know how the technology compares to bodybugg. How the sensors work and how accurate they are? Im trying to decide between them and honestly am disapointed on the varying price point with body bugg they can range from 249.00-399.00 depending on where you live.

I just looked up the actitrainer that looks interesting more affordable and it comes in colors. Now I need to research more lol.

Ok Im so sad ok maybe not so sad perhaps a little jealous. Friend of mine who lives in Austin Tx just bought one at 24 hr fitness for 249.00 there on sale there yet because Im in the north east and have to buy directly from body bugg they cost 399. plus shipping so unfair. oh well had to vent but Im still saving up I just finished paying off for a years gym membership so I'll have to wait a little bit.

Ok so Im not here to judge. Sadly I know what it is to be satisfied with getting rid of food that you've eaten. Am I bulemic I dont think so I dont ever if not rarely actually intentionally get rid of a meal. Usually I will do so If Ive eaten somthing that couses nausea or just doesnt seem to sit well but this is like a few times a year if that. Ive spoken with my dr and he said something like that is normal its an animal instinct to get rid of somthing that feels bad in your stomach. But when your doing it often monthly or weekly, daily ah you have a problem. I understand perhaps not being able to process or digest because of the band and then needing to pb something but to do it repeatedly probably isnt to good for your band or your body. Id chew more and eat slower and maybe even add a little Water if your damned to eat something and its really dry. But Id also talk to my dr. Eva

I understand how you feel. I too have been outed though not by a family member yet the outing was to an old friend. Sadly at my WLS group I bumped into a friend of a friend who needless to say felt the need to tell other friend they saw me. I was very disapointed and calmly explained to both of them that my life is my buisness and who and how I share my buisness with is no ones buisness but my own. So ok the friend is a little sore but I told her I was more sore that she was friends with such a gossip. Granted none of this helps you with your situation. For your situation I say screw them. Ignore any faces or remarks they have prepare yourself for when you see them to be able to be the better person if they say somthing rude call them on it without being confrontational and kill them with kindness. Example: oh can you eat that? Why yes I belive so. My doctor has given me implicet instructions on what I can and cannot eat. Thank you so much for your concern over my wellbeing. How is that ___ (fill in the blank with something you know bugs them) Ive been worried for you to. Ok so its mean but heck you can always call them on it if your willing to deal with confrontation and let them oggle you as you get thinner and healthier that in the end will be your best revenge. As for your husband he needs a talking to perhaps your father in law can be your alli in that. If you think he genuinely cares explain to him how you wanted to keep things private and were sadly disapointed in his sons lack of respect for your wishes. If hes man enough he will confront his son if not I guess you have to swallow it and look at the rest of your relationship for good stuff. Good luck Sorry about spelling really didnt want to dl spell checker and hate to proof read

Grats Jackie =)

thank you =)

So I decided I want a body bugg and started researching. Body Bugg is part of Body media and there supposed to come out with a new bugg in 08 that is to be 40% smaller then the one they have now. I figured I still want one and keep getting different prices, so I checked ebay and saw people buying them for 220-300 and cant figure why youd buy one used for so much when you still have to buy the program for 200. I guess Im still deciding lol but I want one. Just need to save up a little.

I've never cheated on my husband though Ive been given the opportunity. He cheated on me when we were dating but then again I think people have different expectations of dating and you can never know your on the same page till you talk about it sadly we talked about it and thats when I found out. He knows if he would cheat now he would be out with all his belongings lol. Weve been together since that happened for 8 years. so far so good lol

I love scottish accents too. Unfortunatly all the scotts I ever met were taken lol. But then again Im still trying to figure out how to get Sean Connery to read me a bed time story..(no dirty thoughts nothing else) I just love his accent and his voice. Eva

I would recomend speaking to your dr. Get them to run your blood work. One of the reasons I am going for the band is because I am sevearly anemic I have been most of my life. I get shaky often and its due to two things I dont eat much protein and lack of proper vitamins my suger spikes only when I eat after not eating for along time. A huge contributor for my weight gains. try special k protein water someone mentioned it I tried it and it fills me right up I love it new best friends. A little pricy but worth every penny now if I could just grind chicken into water I could save lol just kidding.

I think I read a post were someone else had commented on having similar problem post flight I dont remember what they said I'd do a search for flight or flying.

This is something I really need to work on. When I was young I loved exercise I loved to work up a sweat. But now I loath swetting unless its in a steam room lol. Like I said Im working on it I've been walking just joined a gym and have been working out at least 3x a week Im just hoping that feeling of love for it comes back to me. Cross your fingers for me or send some of it my way hehe Eva

Thats so funny... No seriously I feel your pain. My MIL wants to feed people like all the time. When we come over she insists you eat and when she serves you her portions are for athletes. When I dont finish my plate she looks at DH with look of disgust he just smiles at me and I want to laugh. He knows how much I can and can't eat. The one thing that really gets to me with her is birthdays. She cuts cake into these giant slices so a cake that should serve 10 serves 5.....I know I know not a big deal but it just bugs me couse when she serves food all this food is left on peoples plates and its just wastefull like. I mean Ive never gone hungry and Im not counting other peoples food but I grew up in a house were you served what you wanted and if you finished you could have seconds but you didnt just pile your plate to the sky to look at it. Hrm I really needed to let that out lol thanks guys Eva

Jacqui, I want to eat like you after banding lol sounds kinda like the foods I eat now =)

It takes work on both parties and to be honest if one party is not interested its just not going to work. I find that you have to give in once in awhile and to be honest you have to be intimate even if you dont want to sometimes or things kinda fizzle. I find the more intimate we are the closer we are we are very cuddly and I believe I push for it I push for our time alone and romantic dinners and all of that because if you dont make an effort it disapears. If it has fizzled all hope is not lost so long as your partner is still interesdted and well heck if they forgot, remind them why they were interested to start of with. Even if its not complete intimacy alone time with talks that have nothing to do with family and bills can go along way cuddle, hold hands whatever just start comunicating again. As for a spouse who is not invested in a relationship sometimes you have to cut your losses. If you make every effort to love someone and they dont love cherish and appreciate you then your better of on your own and starting over remember with every door that closes a window opens. I believe in death do us part but I belive that god doesnt want us suffering also. Best of luck Eva

<p>Hrm its interesting but I know what you mean in a way. Im not afraid of being thin because I feel I will be less interesting I'm afraid of not matching up maybe not looking right or loosing to much hair from weight loss granted I know these are irrational thoughts but there thoughts I have nonetheless. I've spent years using my weight to hide myself since I was young I developed quickly and hated the attention I received from men. I never felt like the boys my age were looking it was older men who would check me out and somehow it really created this sense of wanting to hide that even as an adult I havent really grown out of. </p> <p>Im fortunate to have the support of DH who would do anything for me and loves me regardless of how I am but honestly I will always be timid about being looked at its my flaw. Theres nothing wrong with me I know this. Unlike you I wish being thing meant I would blend in but in truth I know it makes us more noticable either way Im doing this for my health not my wardrobe.</p> <p> </p> <p>Eva</p>

Is the being cold a reaction to having had the band installed lol probably the wrong way to work that Im such a geek.. ok but is it a result of surgery or just somthing your going through?? I recently spoke with my dr because I have hair loss that they cannot explain I have yet to be banded I also suffer from not adjusting to tempatures and so they belive it is because I am anemic. I am currently taking large doses of Iron per dr before they will consider me for band. I would hate to get colder then I do now. Eva
