    Whats For Supper???

    You know it does get kinda boring cooking the same oh things all the time maybe we should start a recipe thread with some new healthy recipes. By the way I had a protein drink for supper and my husband went with my dad to help him do some stuff and they stopped for chinese on the way home. MAN THAT SOUNDS GOOD!! I'm trying so hard not to do the last meal sindrome but it is killing me UHHH!!! I'm so weak!!!

    Sparkling Water...

    I've been told coffee is okay but decaf is better cause some thing about caffeine makes your stomach rumble and that could be thought to be hunger when it is not. Most people I talk to say no problems at all with it.

    What's NSV Stand For?

    Debbie I said I would like to get to 135 not 115. I'm only 5'0 tall so I think around 135 would be small eough . Plus I am Large boned and I would look like a skeleton if I weighed 115 TOO! LOL!! My first goal is 150 that is the smallest I've ever been and that was after I lost close to 70 pounds to get there. So I figure that 150 would be realistic for me.

    18 Days Till I Get My Band!!!

    Corgi~ I live about 20 miles from Memphis Tn. I am having my surgery there. My mom and husband will also be at hospital with me. This is really cool to know we will go through this together. I told everyone I work with and they seem to be very supportive. That is your choice though and only you know if you are comfortable telling others. I was very worried at first but I think it will be okay. I'm not ashamed of this WLS I feel it will help me and maybe if others know it could help someone else looking for an answer to help them too. Please feel free to pm me I would like to get to know you better. If I can help let me know and YES we will compare battle scars and good advice. LOL!!!I will be off work my self all next week after surgery so I'll check in with you Okay!! Good luck and I will be thinking of you on the way to the Operating room. I'l say okay Corgi we can do this and here we go!!

    Good bye big clothes!

    See your doing great with your band. I'm sure its hard alot of the time but I think you will lose more weight and keep it off with alot of dedication and your band there to help. I'm sure it makes you feel good to see those bigger sizes going out the window and the new smaller sizes coming in. Keep up the faith in your self and that band and you will lose more weight than you ever did on any diet and you will keep it off.

    Sparkling Water...

    My understanding on Carbonated drinks is it is a no no forever. I was told under no circumstances should I drink cokes or other carbonated beverages.

Good luck and keep us posted. I have BCBS and they approved me with no problems at all. Hope it will be the same for you guys. What are the names of those cook books and where did you find them?

    Protien formula.............???

    My Dr. said I need at least 40-50 grams per day. I think 50grams is better so that is my goal.
  21. Jammin & Losin

    Real Meals, Whey Protein, a problem..

    Corgi~ My band surgeon told me I should get AT LEAST 45-50 grams of Protein a day. As for Protein shakes I drink EAS Advant Edge Protein drinks. (Walmart or Kroger carries these) Also many on this site have recomended unjury protein products and it has a web site you can check out. www.unjury.com I think is the right web site to check. Hope this helps you out. Good luck.

    18 Days Till I Get My Band!!!

    Hey CORGI~I had to get an ultrasound done during my preop tests. Then when I went in to my final consult with surgeon on 2/14/05 he said that I had a rather large gallstone and had to have gallbladder surgery first on 2/18/05 then wait 1 month to recover and then get my band done on 3/18/05. I had been having NO problems at all. It was very unexpected. Dr. said alot of people have gallbladder problems and don't even know it. Some Dr's will do gallbladder surgery and band surgery at the same time and some won't.Mine wouldn't because he said he didn't want to risk infecting my band. CORGI~ Good luck to you on Friday as well. I will be thinking of you when they push me in to the operating room. (We will go in together okay! ) What time is your surgery and where are you from?
