Elda you are not alone. Here I am waving my hand. I am 5 months out and I do the same thing. My restriction is off and on and whenever it feels like being there. No matter what we still have to eat right and exercise. I'm sorry you are going through so much and this time of the year always intensifies the negative things in our lives. When I go through this type of thing I go on a soup kick. I keep soup on hand so I am not eating a lot of stupid calories. Also, cool whip with a little frozen or fresh fuit or sugar free popsicles. Good Luck Elda, I know many of us will have you in our prayers.

I went to an OA meeting one time. Being fat is no fun. I'm tired of it. I wanna get off this ride.

LMBO HarleyNana I'm with you.

Wheetsin ohhhhhh pee peee

You can watch 24, you don't have to go back 3 seasons to catch up. LOL The Shield and Nip/Tuck are also very corrupt shows but they are all so good. I had to stop watching them expect for 24. I learned really bad stuff from them. Surrond yourself with positivitiy...ommmmmmmm

Ok I'm eating everything. Shaved Turkey Trail Mix Mandarine Oranges All good for me...yes but I don't want to eat all of that. Shut up..... I'm confused upset:mad:...maybe I should start smoking:smoke....was that a bunny rabbit:Bunny.....can I eat it:eek. Somebody sew my mouth shut. :speechles

Where are you....woohoooo We have missed you again at the support group meeting. Let us know when you have time, maybe the MD LBT Social Club can get together with you in your neck of the woods.

Coyoto girl that was good wasn't it. I could hear the music and was moving with her. LOL I agree Princess n thep for the BOOTY SHAKING DANCE:banana :banana

Hi Greg, nice to meet you. I use to shop at Kenilworth mall at Ulla Popkin in Towson. Wow you have worked that heck out of your band. Do you exercise? I'm having such a hard time incorporating exercise on a regular basis. A friend did make a promise to me last night that they will encourage me to exercise and will even walk with me. Easier said then done, especially now that it is cold outside. Stocymd- that sould like a grand idea. I will go almost anywhere as long as I have some directions and a cell phone. LOL I have not been bowling in yearsssss but I'm excited. I think I will bring my daughter to the next one. We need to incorporate some activity in our meetings. Is anyone interested in going to a gym on Saturday morning twice a month?

Patience is a wonderfull thing....when I find some I will share it with you. I will continue to pray for those that are going through the insurance process to get banded. I don't know why carbs have to be the best thing in the world but there are alternatives. That was a great choice with the grapes. Have you tried sugar free popcicles and pudding. I love the sugar free chocolate popsicles. They really helped me get through my liquid phase. Congratualtions on being in your 200's....I am trying to get to my 300's. Our fight is all the same, just at diffrent stages. Good Luck Poodles....cute name. LOL

Congratulations Ann77, it's nice to meet you. You will do just fine. We all feel overwhelmed wit the big number of ounces of fluid you are suppose to get in everyday. Just sip all day long because you will get dehydrated. You lips will be dry also, be sure to have some lip balm close by. Oh yeah your breath is going to change for a little while...:knockedou

Oh my young grasshopper, you have not learned yet. All these things are possible in the right house. When the moon sets on the Dove in East, that is when you will be able to have these lucisous gifts. Woohoooo 3 more pounds gone, you go girl. You are going to have to take in that juicy outfit and then it will say icy. What can we do to help you get to your 1's? Just let us know.:banana:banana Dag Carrie don't tell the world that your car is a mess....

You sick child, it was so easy. Can of Cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, 2 cans of sliced pototaoes, a bag of mixed veggies and 1/2 bag of broccoli. Ummm ummmm heat it up with a can of 2% milk, add shredded cheese and puur into refrigerator pie shell and cover with pie shell, cover edges with foil so it does not burn and poke holes in top of crust. Oh my goodness yess delicious even cold. How was the burbon.....I mean burbon chicken?

Be careful with the chicken. I can have chicken sometimes, depending on how it is prepared, what time of day it is, if the moon is full or if it is snowing. LOL One day I can't eat any chicken the next day I'm able to eat 2 pieces of popeyes....opppps did I tell on myself. Anyhow, we look forward to meeting you. Keep up the Great work.

OK you catch me on a bad day. Monday Breakfast 3 almonds 11am lunch 1/2 piece of fish dinner chicken salad veggie pot pie (home made) Supper (didn't eat enough earlier) popeys chicken Tuesday Breakfast Life Cereal yogurt 8 almonds Lunch McChicken (no buns) cheeseburger (no buns) Snack 3 chocolate Cookies (what is wrong with me)I have to weigh in tonight

MouseCrazy I second that....JQPublic is allways there with a good word when needed.

Uh Oh is that what we were looking for? Put that whip down! Ok what can you eat since youa re being so goooooood. I'm glad you have good restriction now. It is probably time to update that avatar.... don't you. We will keep going out and hopefully you will jump in one of them. You could ride with a certain somebody, if they clean their vehicle out......I won't say any names SOMEBODY.

Don't lose hope you can do this. One day of cookies is not what makes us fat. It is when we have cookies everyday. Ok now that you got your cookies, step back. You are forgetting about the benefit of the low carb eating. You will actually lose some weight. Hey, then you will have a jump start on your weight lose before you get your band. I think the weight lose before the banding so we can practice how to eat beforehand. Keep practicing, it will be worth it in the long run. You have come this far, don't go back. If you have lost 1 pound, promise yourself you will never see that pound again. Where is your ticker. Come on Live Like Your Banded.

Thank you Penni that was cool

I Second Candy Smooth for the best Puked On Myself Story
