Stephanie, ya still ITCHING... its about to drive me nuts... last night was the second (dosing) and today still itchy... now I have a patch of Itchy Red welt on my Underarm(left) and another patch of itch just below my armpit right where my Bra rubs.... :w00t: When to the Dietician today (at my Dr.s request) because last check up my Cholesteral was HIGH Normal... so I went and got the speech... yada,yada,yada... she says cut down on the MEAT I am eating.. ah, WTF I told her I only EAT about 2.5 oz to 3 oz. of meat cause that's all I can get in with my BAND... she didn't know anything about lapband! increase my soluable fibre - dah ya I know THAT too - if I don';t then I get "Kari-itis" Now something that I SHOULD be doing and not is taking a Omega 3 supplement.... does anyone take those supplements???? Cause the one she showed me was a HUGE Capsule... don't know if I could swallow that sucker... What does everyone else use???? Now I am on day #3 of the protien thing.... but tonight I am having WINE with my meat... I have a GF coming to visit for ONE night... so that'll be my only "JUNK" food :thumbup:

Yes, Janet you are right. Staying healthy (getting healthy) is HARD work and it never seems that there is an INSTANT reward for that... whereas when you eat junk, you INSTANTLY feel better.... right? Don't you dare fall of your Skinny WAGON??!! we slackers all need you to be strong... cause if Janet can do it= we all can do it... :thumbup: hummm what kind of an instant FIX could we give ourselves instead of food... Cammon Girls, put your thinking caps on and lets POST a LIST!!!!

Denise, you are toofunny.... actually that might bring me more relief than tha "Brush" :thumbup:

CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN 883/85/20/89 1,000 - 1,100 /50 - 100/22 - 25/ 60 - 127 O.k. here are my totals for today!!! Protien all the way! Oh and I did talk to Peter tonight about quitting my job... he dosn't care one way or the other... left the decision up to me. I did leave a resume at a local wine store today after work. The pay is terrible but 4 - 4hour shifts per week. Oh yeah, and you get a FREE bottle of wine per week as a BONUS... LOL can you beleive it?

Wow, I had to wait 6 weeks after surgery to get my first fill... now it may take another fill or two until you get proper restiction.. then you'll be on your way!!! :biggrin:

Glad you are getting your sleep again Janet! That can really pull you down energy wise. I am at work today, only ONE more patient. YEAH!! She is a nice one though so I dont' mind her. But I gotta tell ya, I am really getting sick of the Chick on the Front Desk... she is such a no-it-all... had another run-in today with her... I'd left her a note last week about the Computer system not working correctly.... I fixed it, but I wanted her to know so she could avoid the same problem in the future. She says" Oh YOU must have been posting something WRONG, as its working today just fine..." YEAH, that's because "I" fixed it last week, you Doofus!!! Oh I just want to strangle HER TO DEATH!!! b ut then again, I am on day one of PROTEIN only... ya think I could just be a tad biatchy???? :biggrin: Na, I just can't stand her, I want to quit my job.... gotta talk to Peire about this tonight!

o.k. I've eaten 1/2 my Yoplait yog and I'm ready to PB already!!! WUWT? I can eat icecream no problem, how come yogurt gets stuck

o.k. but with the Yogurt... do I eat it? or insert it? It makes me gag :biggrin: it always gets stuck in my band.:ohmy:

54 minutes on my Wii.... oh gosh, I have been lazy! I hadn't signed into my Wii in 93 days!

I have acquired a Yeast Infection (at least I think that's what it is) .. Gross and ITCHY, OH MY WORD!! ANyone have a 'bottle brush' I can scratch with????

Janet; can you get one of those PRIVACY Screens for the front of your monitor, they just clip on.... and prevent anyone from seeing what you're working on. You could use the excuse to purchase it "Insurance info is confidential, ie customers billing info etc.. and I don't want to put that trust in jeapardy".... then nobody can sneek up on you and read over your shoulder :biggrin: I am glad the kittens are doing well. They sound so cute!

Lapband.com - LAP-BAND® System Adjustments - Weight Loss Management

Ya Linda; I agree with you, if I'd known about GASTRIC SLEEVE I'd have gone that route too... too much maintenance on this band thing... STEP AWAY FROM THE CHEESE PUFFS....

Oh Karla; What a great gift!! I am so happy for you that you got ALLTHATFABRIC for free!!! You have a wonderful idea for the Dad... I know he will LOVE that quilt when you get it made. How many other quilt projects do you have to put on the back burner while you get that done hee,hee :biggrin: ???

Karla; those websites are fabulous!! You are right about the pricing:rolleyes: too! Its done with a Whole cloth quilt right, and then the pattern is cut out and then the RED or contrast color is put underneath and edges stitched by hand (under) is that what I see? Ummm, they are beautiful.

I havn't had time to go bak and re-read all the pages missed yet. Got home this aft about 3:30 from the Camp... it is nice to be home, but honestly I could've stayed gone longer. The doggies were really enjoying themselves up at the lake, rain and all. DH and I got talking on the way home about "our" diets... So Janet; thank you for posting the link to TLC lapband journal get your shit back together site.... I signed up and printed off all the menus for the next couple of weeks. Back to basics... so tonight for supper I had 3 oz. Pork tenderloin, 1/4 cup carrots.... then just now I had a wee snack. I made up some Deviled Eggs with Fat free Mayo... and I ate 1/2 of one, just enough to take the edge off my hunger for this evening. I will have another cup of tea before bed with skim milk. I'll post more tomorrow and read about what I've missed being away. Love C

Don't think we'll be climbing up "CLIFF LAKE MOUNTAIN" this year... its been too wet and the rocks up there would be way to slippery... also I dont' think I am as in good a shape cardio wise as i was last year at this time. I just havn't been working out as much as I should. But that is going to change.... I am really looking forward to getting better ackwainted with that LAPBAND site and following some of its guidelines and menues... time to get back to BASICS with MY band.... and LIFESTYLE... I know you know what I mean, you guys have all lost 100+ lbs and I am only 65... no excuses... I got off the track that's all... I am the only one to blame... But alas, I am still on holiday rfight now and access to my DSISTER's computer is at HER whim... not mine.. getit??? She has to be Yaking at me every minute of every waking hour.... She can't help it, 6 mos in MEXICO with No one to speak English to, then 6 mos up at the CAMP in the Canadian Wilderness, no nextdoor neighvbors to drop in on.... Ohmy!!! MISS you gals, and love you more than better.....(you don't bug me and get on my last nerve) ha,ha,ha..

OMGosh, I've missed so many pages!! Up at the CAMP, R.V. ing, but I wanted to check in with my GIRLS!! My Gosh Janet; Kittens holy crap ola!

Kari: Blank Cheque for your Plastic Surgery? Holy moly that is so awesome... where are you going to get your "work" done? Any Ideas? There is a great p/s clinic in Sarnia, Ont. Its called BLUE WATER Cosmetic somethingorother... but the DOC there is awesome, check out their web page... and with the Us $ and Cdn $ diff you might save even more money still!!! Stephanie: Hugs there GF I didn't have time to go all the way back and read everything... cause my SIS is hanging over mly shoulder as I TYPE....argh! Linda; Do somthing FUN for yourself every day o.k. hun, even if its only 5 mins... gotta keep the stress monkey's at bay o.k.??? KARRI: wherever you are, we miss you and hope you are not working too hard!!! Denise: Hopefully by now your Mom is starting to feel better and has more get up and go... I know how much you worry about her Well our little get=a=way is enjoyable even with the ever present showers.. luckily we missed the Tornado that peeled thru Barrie, On.... we are 4 hours north of there... way out in the 'boonies' (hum the title song from Deliverance) but it is beauty bar none... Right now the clouds are wafting by so fast that its sunnyout again and we just had the most spectacular Rainbow that i have ever seen!! Right down close to the water's horizon, not high up in the skiy like usual... really stunning... I think my DS got a picture of it so maybe I'll be able to post it once I get home. DS is having friends in for CARDS tonight.. so that'll be fun.. Peter slept alone in a Cottage last night!! He didn't want to sleep with mi in the Camper... too close for comfort:lol: its just taking some time to get used to.. its only a double bed in there, and we have a KING at home.:cursing:

Phyl; Have you tried GAVISCON for your nighttime Reflux?? They are chewable and quite desent flavors... does the trick for me when it wakes me up. Man I can see why Earl needed the HOT TUB - 5000 ft mountain???? !!!!

Janet; You must have all that moving stuff organized by now, good work on finding Andrew's keys... takes an organized woman eh??? Linda; don't work too hard... your LBT family misses you when you are not here. Steph: continued Prayers and HUGS G.F. Karla; Ya I hate waxing cars too... good thing the DH likes to do it! Havn't looked at any more quilt stuff... its way too addictive and I have to finish my current project(s) first!!! Only have 2 blocks left to quilt on that Baby Twin bed quilt... that's the one that has to go to Switzerland before Nov. Kari; is MIA somewhere in Florida, hopefully avoiding hurricanes. Karri: I know she's swamped with school this time of year...but we are thinking of you Girl! Denise: Hugs and love for you and your family. Hope MOM is feeling better soon. Well, gotta run and ge tmy BOTOX checked out this a.m. re-touch time????

Hi there; I noticed your ticker and its moving along in the right directions... CONGRATS... Have you run into any plateaus or speed bumps along the way??? I am interested in knowing how you are doing and what you EAT in an AVERAGE DAY??? thanks in advance

WOW, I'd tell him for sure... turn it around... what if HE had some illness and surgery and didn't tell YOU.. wouldn't you be pissed? I am sure that after the initial SHOCK, he'll be supportive too... sometime medical stuff just scares the beejeezers out of our guys... Let him look after you after surgery... really You'll be up and at'em the next day anyways... maybe a little gas pain in your shoulder area but that's about it... I went thru the surge. TWICE... both times my DH went with me and looked after me...

KITKAT; I live close to you too. I would love to have a BARRIE support group for Bandsters!!! Keep me posted... PM me if you'd like my email address... Just peachy Peaches9 I was banded TLBC July 2007
