GeGe, if you get in more protein if may help you feel fuller longer. Sorry, I just couldn't remember what I had wrote down protein for next to your name.

OK, let's see if I can get this to post. Mango, sorry about DH and his little accident. Hope all is well, and you're recovering well. Marcy, Stormy is adorable. I think most of my support is from this group. My DH isn't hindering me at all, not any comments, YET,LOL. Thankd for taking my place yesterday since I couldn't post. Love the comment about me too,LOL Blooeyes and edith, welcome to the lucky 7's. Kathy, so sory about your daughter, but it sounds like she's doing well. Don't forget the SF fudge pops, if you can have them!! Sunny, the excercise is good, but I got on the scale and gained 2 lbs!! Had to be from muscle, as I havent's had 7000 calories except all together in the last 7 or 8 days!! Chim, one more day. You've been on my mind all morning, as I'm picturing you jumping around your house with excitement. Dini, hope you get the stitches thing figured out tomorrow when you go to the Dr. GeGe, protein, I wrote down protein next to your name and now I forget what I was going to say, so stay tuned, I'll try to backtrack and look it up!! Brandy, love my magic bullet, yes the processor. Funny name, but great blender. Dieka, I have a 4cc band with no fill until 4 weeks post-op on 7/31. Gladster, have you called your Dr. about the incision being white? Haven't heard anyone else with this one. MsYackie, definitely try to get all of your water in. It may help. Icybreese, I too have had a stall in loss, been trying to aviod the carbs myself. I have some ideas on low carb mushys: avacados, very well steamed veggies like squash, zucchini, asparagus, egg plant, cauliflower, tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, crab or shrimp dip (maybe home made with mayo) monteray jack cheese (softer). Hope it helps. Dmtjet, how are your doing? Hope your mother is going to be alright. Nurse76, where are you??? Hope all is well. I think I'm done. Hope my computer holds up. It's not even 4 years old. Just don't know whats going on with it. Like I said, I'm probably blowing it up with the activity in the last month or two.

OMG, what a mess I've been going through this morning. First I get on and read up to the last page. I go to turn to the last page, and it comes up page cannot be displayed. Been trying to get it back forever, and I went to post this huge long post under quick reply, and it will not post. I was so pissed. Lets' hope this works, cause I hate having high speed internet, and its been soooooo sssssslow. Don't know what's up. I'll try to post this and see if it works. I'm heading out for lunch with a friend from work, so I'll hopefully be back on in a few hours. Cross your fingers!!!

Testing!!!!!!!!!!

Testing!!!!!!!!

Chim, I also have on deck for tomorrow Renee marie, and cate 54. It has taken me about an hour to post this, and I hope this works. I'll catch up tomorrow with everyone, as I'm shutting the computer down for the night. I think I'm blowing it up with all the activity it's had the past month!!!!

Tinkerbell, I've had the tuna this week with some FF mayo and a little pickle relish. It was great. I you go to the Lucky 7 recipe thread, there is a cream cheese chicken salad recipe that is really good too. Ashrae, I would yes for mushy stage on the pulled pork. Just small bites, and chew, chew, chew. Maybe even blenderize it first. Chim, I need to get in a full 45 of the Turbo Jam, but just getting back into it, I wasn't ready to go that long. Need to save some energy!!! Dini, wow girl, atleast I know my family isn't the only one that is disfunctional!!! I can't believe your dad was so worried about his car instead of you. And your cousins seem like real whiners. You are better to stay away, but poor Annafrancesca hasn't seen her god mother in 4 months. That's a shame.

sunshine sonya, sorry for discomfort, have you already tried a laxative? ashrae, cottage cheese, eggs, shaved turkey breast, avacados, vey well steamed veggies, tuna, canned chicken, cheese slices. I try to comeup with some more.

forgve70x7, that's great you got in 35 minutes on the eliptical trainer. I just did 20 minutes of Turbo Jam, and I was done, for now. I'm going to do another 20 minutes later on. Firs time back and it kicked my butt. I love walking, but need the Dvd's to switch things up. Tinkerbell, hope your soup goes down good for you. I love cream of broccoil, and add in a little cheese, extra protein!!YUM!!

Ash, just an heads up, I've been noticing a slower weight loss with all the mushy carbs I've been eating. Try to find lower carb mushies to alternate with the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes!!

Lindaa, I believe what you've said is true. I can't even imagine what the family is going through losing a child. My heart goes out to you, and the family. Sending hugs your way.

Phly, liquids in, liquids out. It's normal. Glad to hear the temp is gone. My doc told me to take my temp every morning for a week and if it was up to call immediately.

Have a great day chim!!

Chim, my doc said I'd have to wait 4 weeks for areobics and weights, but las Tuesday at my post op, he said I could go ahead and start. I'm ready, just didn't get to do it this week any. Today's the day. I'm excited, I'm just waiting for 20 ozs of water I just drank so settle a bit before I start.

Chim, that's great about the class you took. I'm getting out the Turbo Jam Dvds today to start my excercising at home. My sone likes them, he dances while I work out. It's so cute. Later I promised if he was good we'd walk to the dollar store behing our house. He needs batteries for a toy he wants to play with and I'm all out of the size he needs, so I'll be getting in a little walk later on too.

mommyof2, I was on liquids or 2 weeks also before I was progressed to mushys. Is seems that all Dr.s do things differently. Hope the rash gets better. Did they give you anything for it??

Kathy, great to hear the kitchen is done, and everything went well. The pics were great to see, what a difference it makes!! dmtjet, sounds like you had a great time at the festival yesterday, and you did great with food, and got a lot of walking in. Doesn't if feel freeing to get out, and get back to life after the surgery. Glad to hear you had fun!! Phyl, how is the fever today??? Don't mess around with it, it could be an infection. I'd call the office ASAP to let them know, especially if you still have it. Hope everything is ok.

lindaa, my prayers are with your family today as you struggle to make sense of a terrrilbe thing. I'm so sorry to hear about the little boy. This will be a very tough time for you, and we are here if you need too talk. Just let us know if we can do anything for you. Alesha and mommyof2, welcome to the Lucky 7's. We're excitd to have you join us in this great support group. Alesha, Sheelagh is our other bandster from Ireland, as well as Dini.

Sory to say it gang, but I'm heading out. Have a wonderful evening, and good luck again to all the July 23rd bandsters.

Sunshinesonya, welcome back!! Glad to hear everything went ok. JulyBander, hope all goes well tomorrow. That is wild that they don't have you on the schedule. By all means, tell him not to rush your surgery just to 'fit' you in tomorrow. We want you back safe and sound!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

But we suck at typing, at least I do,LOL

Icybreeze, I loved the beans too. GeorgieGirl, welcome to the Lucky 7's!! We're a great grop, who love to post!!

Good to hear Dini, we'll talk tomorrow!!

Renee Marie, so sorry about your bad things going on, and your dog, that's so sad. I'm so sorry. But you seem uplifted with the fact of your surgery on Tuesday, and your great new job, congrats to you. IndioGirl, I haven't tried the ground beef or turkey yet, but I have tried turkey thin slices lunch meat. I can have chili, but most have beans whick make it high on carbs, so I need to make my own. I don't know why, I'm just scared to eat it just yet. I can't have veggies unless it's baby food veggies, but I'm going to steam some squash and zucchini and try that. Chim, have a great night!!! Dini, you're here. Glad you've come back to see us babes!! Phly, it gets beter, hang in there!!

cazulay, steak sounds soooo good right now. I'm sure it will take months before I can chew one of those up. Hope you had one for me too,LOL.
