JDKbsgirl, I don't worry about the weight gain in that phase. Right now I'm only consuming around 650 calories a day. This is from 6- 4 oz meals. Even if we have these other foods, I can't see going up in calories enough to make a weight gain.

JDKsbgirl, your diet is like mine, only no one said anything about sherber/ice cream, and it sounds soooooo good right now. Might have to get that when I go out in just a little bit. Hey Dini, working again!!

Chimboree, It was the least I could do, I know it's a lot to keep up with. Thanks again for doing this for us. You are such a sweetie!!! Can't believe you couldn't get into the Dr. Hope you get in tomorrow.

Cypanther, 18mnthstoknow, NYGMEN, tjfandri, please come join the Lucky 7's. Eveyone from this thread has combined onto one thread there under the July monthly support groups- Lucky # Sevens- July 07 bandsters. There's a lot of support going on in there, come join the fun.

Chimboree, tulips has not been given a date as of yet.

Indiogirl, don't know if you're a Peanut Butter fan, but today I added a 1/2 tablespoon to my chocolate shake. Very Yummy!!!!:clap2: neefam, hang in there, you only have less than 2 days;). You'll be fine. Believe in yourself. This one will work. I've tried everything, and I'm down 12 lbs, in a week. Just keep fighting it for 2 more days. Come here if you need to talk!! giatrue, welcome to the Lucky 7's.

Chimboree, I also have dates for a few you didn't have- jdksbgirl-3rd grammarocoquette-19th renee marie- i have for the 24, may want to check if 23 or 24 lucia maria- 31st coltonwade- 16th

Chimboree, I'll try to help you with the dates. I've been adding them onto my calendar as they post. Appleblossom- 9th janiee- 19th dieka- 12th texgal- hey I don't see her on mine mamalawyer, never posted ribearty- 20th only4me- 30th tulips- don't see her on mine either.

Hey Dini, I'll try to catch you later, I'm going to eat lunch and then take a nap with my buddy. I should be back in a few hours. Need to shut this computer down, as it's running slow as molasses. I'll check back in later. Have a great day everyone.

nurse76, you asked what I'm eating. I find that 4 ozs of small curd cottage cheee with 1/2 scoop of unflavored powder really fills me up good. I've also had the campbells chunky chicken fajaita soup which I put in the magic bullet for about 7 seconds is really filling also, and tasty. Yesterday I stopped in my chineese take out and got egg drop soup, and I tried hot and sour soup for the first time. Very tasty and filling. Heated up leftovers for dinner last night, and getting ready to have some again for lunch today.

Thanks, but you know, your smaller, and most of what we're losing is probably water weight, so keep that in mind my little sausage. You're still doing great.

nulife2be, hang it there. Please stay with us and keep us posted. We have Dini and breadlady who were banded in June, so we can have you in August. You'll be still be a lucky 7 at heart!!

lindaa, I figured Laurend wanted all our stats each week on Friday, so I decided Friday would be weigh in day for me. I can't tell I've lost yet by looking at me. Still some swelling going on. nurse76, don't do it (the McDonalds) I'd be afraid it would get stuck. That's what keeps me from eating things my DH and son are eating. I would hate to have to get sick. Don't want the slippage thing to happen. Dini, sorry I missed you last night. Hope your day is better. Please don't even tell me you are at work, again. Girl, you need a day off.

Good Morning everyone. I've been in Bandland 1 week today, and have lost 12 lbs according to the scale yesterday. I'm not weighing agin until Friday, then once a week on Friday from there on. Laurend, I didn't have the BM until 5 days post surgery, so I wouldn't worry too much. Especially since you've ben on liquids. Holly Sue, welcome to the Lucky 7's. gladster12, I bought SF jellos, puddings, those packets for water (I'm loving the SF cherry limeade from Walmart, very tasty, like kool-aid) small curd cottage cheese, slim fast, soups, SF popsicles, SF fudgesicles. bun1, good luck to you. nurse76, great job on the weight loss. You lost a lot before surgery too. You're on a roll. lindaa, I do have hunger pains sometimes, but it's always close to my next meal. I'm suprised at how fast they subside once something hits my stomache. It's like instant gratification, and they leave. sandy pants, sorry I can't help you out but I was self pay. I started all this on March 1st, and just got banded last Monday, 7/2. It's not a quick process, and now it's so popular, that many patients are trying to get the surgery, so it may take some time. Be patient, it's worth it. So I have my son by myself starting this week, no mother or MIL to help me out.:omg: I hope we have a good day. I'm thinking we may venture to the park later on. Have to pack some items to drink on while I'm gone. Have a great day everyone!!

Have a good night all. Heading to bed.

Felicia, I'm sleeping in my recliner becaue it's easy to get out of and I'm a belly sleeper, so if I was in my bed I would want to roll over, and I'd be in pain. I actually slept in my bed last night, on my side, and was ok, but I put pillows around me so I wouldn't roll over during the night. I still didn't sleep as well as I do in the recliner.

kathybad, I'm great. Almost 1 week in band land and I'm down 12 lbs. Feeling great, gas pain has pretty much went away, at least I'm off the gas x today. I went out today and drove for the first time, and had an awesome day.

Yeah, it's scaring me. We haven't heard from her in over a week. I don't think she's been on since last weekend. Hope everything is alright. I thought about checking to see if she's posting elsewhere on the site.

Chimboree, I'd love one too, I just don't think we'll need it just yet. I'm dropping lbs like crazy now, although it won't last forever. I'd like to wait until the smaller version comes out like they've been talking about.

Now of course I see the bottom of your signature!!!

Hey lady, I saw you posting on the bodybugg, and I couldn't remember where I saw it at today, but I just found it. Pretty cool huh, just don't know if i want to spend that money on one yet. How ya feeling???

kathybad, question of the day- what are you most thankful for??

Hi Phyl, how are you.

tulips, welcome to the Lucky 7's. This is a great group!!!!!

Dini and chimboree, I see your names at the botton, I'll hang out and see if your still here or not. Chimboree, got a question for you??
