Suzzzie.

basically you can input as little info as you want. You don't HAVE to log anything at all - though I don't reccomend that. Lol, I haven't logged food in about 5 weeks and haven't lost a damn thing! Ha!

Thats awesome. COngrats to you!! As far as fills - I had my 3rd fill in Sept - and STILL have great restriction... as long as I eat the RIGHT foods. And yeah, I totally don't care about eating anymore - unless it is sugar crap. Lol. If it is chocolate or sugar or whatever, I"m totally all over it, and those foods slide through my band without any difficulty at all. But yeah. I'm making myself eat chicken tonight rather than the chocolate coated pretzels i really want. Lol. I've eaten about 5 bites of chicken and I'm DONE. :faint:

Hey all!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Most of you will make your goal weight this year - HOW EXCITING!! BeckieT, glad your revision went well, hopefullyyou'll have NO MORE staph infections! Ick! My New Years was great. Went over to a friends party - drank ONE apple-tini and was so freaking buzzed. I laughed at how crazy it was. And I had a few sips of Champagne at Midnight - which is< I think, the first carbonation I've had since surgery. No pain or excessive gas with it, but the bubble felt funny! Ha! NOW that the 'Holidays' are all behind us... I'm going to start watching my calorie intake again and logging my foods in my bodybugg site. I've been at/hovered around 305-301 for 2 weeks. Its about dang time I get serious again and hit TWOterville!! CHop chop!!

I love my Bugg... and starting Tuesday I am going to re-start logging my food so I can get the 5 pounds I've been playing with for 2 weeks OFF of me ONCE AND FOR ALL!!

I have tiny belches, usually one or two... but I get hiccups ALL the time.

I agree with the others. Slowing down and not drinking. Though I think I've got the no drinking with meals thing now - as it typically causes pain or a PB. As far as slowing down... The first 1-2 bites are typically too fast or not chewed well enough - then I pay the price for it and the rest of the meal is nice and slow. Lol. I THOUGHT giving up my precious diet coke would be hard, but nopw, not at all! I don't miss it at all!!

B - I find humor in nearly all overcome obstacles. I'm glad you all share your 'fall' stories... otherwise when I get my bike and fall I would probably feel like its cause I"m a freak or something. I haven't ridden a real bike since I was about 12. And damn this snow here!! I want one so badly right now. Soon though, very very soon...

I'll let ya know when I get there - still got 2.2 pounds to go!! Argh!! I need a fill... and to get these holiday cookies/candies/ poisons away from me!!

Hello Marye75! Check this thread... We haven't exactly made a decision yet... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f93/junies-vegas-2008-a-38228/

Pish posh. Who swallows air? I was never told to not drink through a straw... and I will not give it up. I can't stand to drink anything without a straw!!! I have this weird OCD thing about touching my mouth to a cup... yes, I'm weird. oh well.

B- Thats an amazing loss... and reaffirms that I do NEED another fill in my Stella (Thats my lap bands name) ALSO - I love your story. I shouldn't laugh, but it is just totally something I would do. Keep trying, you'll get it right eventually... And when I finally get a bike I'm sure I'll have LOTS of falling stories for you to laugh at.

Well, the way mine are done is I lay on the table under the flouro thing and they insert needle. I then just tip my head up a bit or sideways and sip through a straw... I don't sit or stand until everything is done and the needle is out.

They sat you up with the needle in your belly???? How WEIRD!!!!! It doesn't sound right to me at all.

Well Ashley - that must be one small tree cause you look amazing!!

Lol B. You can find ANYTHING on you tube! I learned how to crochet there the other night after watching a few videos!! I have a lovely new scarf!

Thanks everyone!!

Here is my 6 month pics... I don't see any difference in the last 2 months - only 20 pounds though.. But still....

Oh, and can I just add that I don't see ANY difference between the Oct and Dec pics?? Ugh. Its been a rough 2 months!

ko all - only 11 days late - I posted my pics on the Junies 6 month pic thread!!

Right! . . . . . . . . Right!

J- I know EXACTLY what you mean... I haven't tracked a damn thing on APEX since Thanksgiving. Funny how when I am eating right I want to chart it - but when I'm eating cookies and crap there is NO WAY I'm writing those down. Lol.

Lol. well Wombat and Insub - at least niw we know why we're fat! Or families are FEEDERS!! ACK!
