Some days I think I eat a lot too, but I weigh myself a few days later and I lose more weight if I feel like I eat a little more than when I think Im doing great. I do get worried sometimes, but I know that tomorrow is a new day and I can try harder. On a normal day I usually drink a slimfast, eat chinese food (only sauted), and then a little for dinner of whatever is cooked or if we go out to eat then I order something sensible. Since I have some trouble eating poultry breast, I order fish or some kind of grilled beef, or even a vegetarian dinner. Its all about what works for you. Signs you have eaten TOO MUCH! Or just the wrong thing: *You feel sick to your stomach *Your next bite WONT go down (like a dull knife stabbing you between your breasts) *You feel lathargic *You feel bad for eating it

Hey GUYS!! I love this thread! I have a 1 1/2 year old Pug (AKC registered) named Pudge Da Man, an orange tabby cat named Jaded Tyler (Jaded after the Aerosmith song, and Tyler after a friend of mine whose b-day party I missed because I had to take care of my new kitty), a purple beta fish named Myrtle Mae (After the character in "Harvey") and a Border Collie named Roxzey (Roxanne) Jane (After the girl who gave it to us, and Jane because I just like that name) and OH I'd say about 30 rabbits (all the boys' names are Harvey (after "Harvey"), and the girls' names are all either Mama, Foxy, or Sexygal) Lol I know, but how do you name all these rabbits right? Ok well, I got to BRAG! Yay. most people dont wanna hear about them, and basically think its ridiculous that I treat my pets like children lol!

I CANT WAIT!! I went shopping this past Monday to scope out the deals that were already there, then Friday we are gonna hit the mall like mad women! C'mon, Im dropping sizes like crazy, I cant pay full price lol! Its a good thing! Plus my knees already feel so much better, IM MEGA EXCITED!

Dr. Spiegal is my HERO! I love it, and I had a quick recovery too! (Im a wimp) and he treated me with great care. Ofcourse I was sore, but it was bad at all. I would do it again any day!

I have a great time on the weekends drinking hard liquor only!! But its great! I usually lose weight on the weekends when Im drinking

Tiene usted Lap-Band Surgecia, pero no necesita creer a donde es Taco Bell. LoL

Dr. Spiegel rocks!!!!! I love it, I had a quick recovery and great surgery. And he treats you like a real live human beign!

hmmm...okay I would buy a smaller size than I actually wore if I was shopping with friends Order a smaller and any normal person would order entree at a restaurant and claim not to be hungry, just so I didnt hardly eat in front of them Talk about shopping in "small" stores, even though I didnt

Diga! Coma estan ustedes? Yo hablo espanol! Okay! Anyways, some of these translations are correct, but some are not. I can help. Heres my post: Soy muy cansado= (if female) Estoy muy cansada Llame por favor a doctor= Puede usted produce el doctor por favor ¿Cuándo está por favor?= Pardonme, pero a que hora es? ¿Cómo es usted?= Como esta usted? No me estoy sintiendo bien= No sinterme bien Gracias por su ayuda= Gracias para su ayuda Me siento nauseabundo.= sinterme nauseas Me siento mareado.= sinterme marea (if female) If you have any more questions you can e-mail me at Jodie_Warner06@hotmail.com. Most of the translations were close, but not quite correct. There are just some rules that makes the words me different words if not used well, and you could end up confusing yourself and the doctor. Sorry about no accents, but you all will get the picture. Goodluck!!

Ya'll this is the strangest thing. I am losing weight, without losing weight. Like I have lost about 25lbs, but like I havent lost a pound since the hurricane, but I have already had to buy more jeans and shirts because the old ones are too loose. I am still experiencing this, and my bones are becoming more prominent. I can't stop stressing over stuff, and I think that this is my hang-up, but I am not sure. Maybe I am not doing something right??? I do everything that I can and by the books while people who cheat all the time still are losing weight (by the scales.) I just dont understand???????????? P.S. I am having another bad night, I cant wait until I graduate and get outta this horrible hell hole of a town my family decided to live in. Its AWFUL!

Im so glad to see u are online, I dont understand though. how am I building muscles when I am doing nothing to build them??? Im worried, mom has already went into fits about how its not working????????????? Ive been bawling for over an hour

Well I was banded on August 26,2005. I am almost 2 months post-op and feeling GREAT!! I have lost about 25lbs and have went down an entire size (from 20 to an 18) and have gained the confidence to buy more expensive items like LV handbags and DG Sunglasses! This is great, I have had one fill and I cant remember how many CCs it was.......????????????LoL. So far Im lovin it!

Thanks ya'll. I went shopping today and got some Dolce and Gabanna sunglasses, Louis Vouiton purse, and some perfume along with swarvarsky crystal jewelry. All in all it made me feel better, but I got SOOOOOOO sick today. Sometimes I get so sick I could throw up and then I dont need to and get something worse (like having a short-term stomach bug). It HURTS sooooooo bad in my real stomach and in my lower stomach and I was crying. But within an hour I was feeling much better and went to buy all my goodies that I got today. Im spoiled and loved lol!!! I had a pretty expensive b-day if you add in the surgery lol. I feel better now, how many ppl get a Louis Vouiton Bag and Dolce and Gabanna sunglasses right?

I am SO glad I had this surgery, but Im losing everything that was important to me. I finally realized that my 18th b-day is coming up (on 24th) and I have NOTHING special planned. I feel like such a loser. I cant have a party because no one will come because a.)they dont know me NEmore and b.)they cant have their alcohol. I am having a family party and I am going shopping 2morro, but I do that every year. Im going to be 18 and I dont even have anyone to go out and celebrate (teenage fun) with. My ex and I (when we were dating) were going to go out to a couple of clubs and stuff, but now hes gone out of my life (by my choice). Now I feel horrible because I have nothing special to do. I want to go out and have a great time, but none of my other few friends are old enuff to go out. I just dont know what to do. I dont know why I let myself get so fat in the first place, I feel like crap right now, not to mention I havent taken my meds since I had surgery because my doc said no more pills unless crushed and my med can not be crushed. I am allergic to the other medications that are out there, so I have had to learn to "deal" and Im not doing a very good job. I need a little support and ideas to make this special. God, I just want to be normal for once. I just dont want to spend another b-day hanging with my mom, when Im turning 18, a legal adult. I want to be a teenager, and now my times up. in 10 days I will be an adult and face more adult decisions and its hard when I havent even had options as a teenager. I am just having a pity party and need some help please!!!!!!!!???????????????

Great job! I'll tell you with my experience in the "fat and trendy" department, you should wear that dress with confidence! Reward yourself and tell yourself you feel gorgeous (not just pretty) that night, and every time you try on clothes you think are still too big for. If you wear it with confidence, then it wont matter what everyone else thinks. BTW, wouldnt you rather have your "droopy" arms instead of the ones from before? This night is gonna be special to YOU, therefore YOU have to feel special right? You are great! Hang in there. I will be praying for you and your children through your child's surgery, I know thats a hard thing to go through. Just remember God loves you and he doesnt do anything in your life without a reason.

Thanks jqpublic. I needed that, it made me smile a bit, and it didnt hurt. Maybe I can sleep now that we FINALLY have electricty (a month later). I still feel a little crappy, but maybe I can get to feeling better, but damn it Im having an awesome 21 party lol. Sometimes being older than everyone else SUCKS!

Yes, but I think I am going to change it to 125. I am not really worried about that number because I will know when I feel healthy enough to stop losing. This is based on BMI charts and my body-type (which is small)

My doc asked me if I was doing okay and I told her yea (this was about a week or so after surgery) and I said yes that I had been off for about 3 weeks to that day and she said to try without and call if I needed the meds. I cant believe I let mylsef get into this state. Needing meds to even have the ability to be happy. I guess I will call Monday. I just wish I could have been thin to begin with, but I suppose there MUST be a reason I have to go through this. Ill tell u this storm (Rita) has really played a toll on my emotions. Im starting to feel a little better, maybe after I get a shot of shopping tomorro Ill feel better, but right now I just feel horrible. My gpa died a year and a half ago and this bday is so special to me and hes not gonna be there and I always thot he would be and I just...ok ok this is why Im on meds. Ill talk to my doc, I think I may have a few other probs besides chronic depression. Im WAY toooo emotional these days.

I cant take Welbutrin anymore, I tried 2 or 3 anti-depressants before I found Welbutrin and I had bad reactions to them, I have taken so much medication over the years that I has already messed my tummy up and I get incredibly sick. I dunno, I need some help, I need something special.

Great date ladies, you have picked a very lucky day because......THATS MY B-DAY!!!! I am going to get my belly-button pierced and I MIGHT decide to get a tattoo!!!! Goodluck.

1. Bread-Nope, once a week I eat a piece of toasted wheat toast 2. Pasta-Yes, well cooked 3. Pop (coke?)-NO!!! not at all 4. Tortillas- Corn only 5. Salad- OH YES 6. Steak-Yes, Small well chewed bites (and its still hard to eat sometimes) 7. Roast- No, too greasy for me 8. Cereal-Yes 9. Hamburger-Yes, but without the top bun and very few veggies 10. Pizza-Yes, but not much (kinda too greasy) 11. Apples-Yes 12. Chips-Yes 13. Cheese-YES 14. Shrimp-Yes, been eating boiled, broiled, and grilled shrimp like crazy 15. Pop corn-No 16. Pretzels-Havent tried In reality you have to kinda taste test somethings to see if they are comfy for YOU to eat. I have a problem with grilled chicken breast, but some people live by it. My best advice is if your doctor says you cant have it, then dont eat it.

I wore loose pajama bottoms, matching cotton shirt, and Pink SPARKLY house shoes! I was comfy

I just dont like Lane Bryant, I am young and all of their clothes are made for women in their mid-20s and up. I am the Pear-Shape and can not for the life of me find a top small enough to fit me in that store. Also, because of my HUGE rear I hate stretchy pants (which is all they offer) because the grain is off and it makes a mess of my entire body. I just stick with Old Navy because of their great fashions for my age. Lane Bryant is taking advantage of plus-sized women with their prices. Another thing is they dont sell my size bra, because of my shape I have a smaller bust (36A- and the smallest they sell is like a full C. Their tops hang off of me like a curtain and their bottoms grab the fat on my rear and thighs like a magnet or second skin and you can see every little dimple in my fat. Old Navy's stretch jeans are still thick enough you can not see through them and do not have a large amount of elastic in them so that it actually gives my rear a nice round shape instead of that of a fat rectangle. lol

Well, I can not have oatmeal, the doctor doesnt recommend it. I have plenty of food because I am living in Houston, but its mostly canned raviolois and spaghetti Os. I chew and chew until I give myself a TMJ attack, but its just hard when ppl are offering you food and you feel SOOOO ungrateful NOT to eat it, you know? I think I can do better this week in Houston because Mom will have a lil more free time to take me to an actual restaurant where I can order good food, and not fried foods. The fried foods really hurt the worst! But I am just getting tired of being sick. Thank you for offering to send help, but what I really need is some quick easy (microwave) food ideas, like if you know a good frozen dinner or something like that. I have to start losing weight again.

Lane Bryant lost me as a customer also. I am great at spotting deals and well-made clothing due to extensive training through the 4-H program. These people at Lane Bryant tried to sell me a slinky tank top and sheer cover for $75 total. I can make the same ensemble for about $25 and 24hours and it would look great. I think they are ripping off plus-sized women, their jeans look AWFUL on my rear and make me look even bigger. Their cuts and patterns and sewing patterns are horrible, not to mention the fact that they come a part and shrink in the washer and dryer. Their jeans have a cotton/polyester knit to make them stretchy and it causes them to shrink, and even become SHORTER!!!! I no longer shop there. Instead, I shop online at oldnavy.com for plus and extended sized clothing, dont try to find it all in stores, but online they have a GREAT selection of better priced plus-sized clothing. P.S Old Navy has great Dress clothing
