Good Job Bullwinkle, keep it going.

You go girl. LOL

You are silly.

You haven't gotten on a scale yet, you don't know what it says. There is nothing wrong with a few globs of cookie dough. You have been doing a great job. Don't let this one day mess up your efforts. Today is a new day girl smile and look at what is ahead......a leaner you. Take all that you learned from the PT and burn those cookies off. Cardio, running up and down the stairs at home, weight resistance to build some muscle to burn those cookes. Salad today, protein shakes, lots of water to take in less calories for the cookies that you had. It is ok move forward, no one is perfect. If you are going to enjoy a treat enjoy it. Volunteering is a wonderful thing so don't stop.

Yep same boat but I do go to a store every month and try things on. If I find a blouse that looks perfect on me and it's on sale. I buy it.

DD Do you get tight normally when you fly?

How long 'til Christmas? 38 Days 17 Hours 44 Minutes ...But who's counting? Let's see I was 386 when I said I would lose 50 pounds. I have lost 13 pounds:clap2: ok so I have 37 to go:faint:

Thank you bluehill. Northernsun you are doing awesome, do I need to go look for some pics of you or did you post any yet? Sandranoelle that is what my doctor did also and I am so glad he did. I am actually learning what it takes to get the weight off and my band gives me that kick I need for the moderation. You are doing great, keep it up.

TexasRose the voice of reason and moderation. Yes Mam Last night I had a slice of turkey on the side with pepperjack, shredded sharp cheddar (oh yeah i went back to the store yesterday without dd and got it) and swiss melted on the plate....ooooooooo sooooo goooood. Old Josette just watch the calories and be sure you are getting the needed amout of calcium. Did I say I love cheese. I love it on any kind of meat, chicken, beef, turkey but I have not tried it on ice cream Jimboss. ItsGottaGo if you live near me we can get together and have some cheese.

Crystalstar11 is scheduled to be banded around 7:45 this morning. ConnieA0278 is with her and will update us. Finally!!!! YEAHHHHHHHH:clap2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY 11/11/06

I think pudding is right at the end of liquid and and going into mushy. I had pudding 4 days out from surgery. I used it to put my crushed pills in. I would only eat about 2 spoons at a time.

yeah cheese:becky:, Josette came to her senses:clap2: :clap2: Did you know you should have 1200 to 1500 mg of calcium a day moooooooo

LOL I know that's right.

Don't wait just go with flow, this way if you do have to wait for the other insurance, most of your stuff will already be done. I am so glad you had your appointments. You are 3 steps closer. You go thick chick!!!

*running to Josette's house* panting ha ha ha panting*out of breath haaaa haaaa * grabbing Josette by the ankles and throwing her acrossing the room, she lands on a pillow......the FRIDGE!!!!

Applesauce is a mushy. Each person can tolerate diffrent things. Be sure you are only putting a littlin your mouth, wait, , wait, wait, then if all clear take a tiny bit more. Burping is a luxury with the band early on. You will not be able to burp on command a long time. No you can't damamge your band with the seeds in the smoothy. Just be sure to sip and wait, sip and wait. Good Luck

Thank you for noticing and thank you MDlitchick for your amazing 100 pounds lost WOW which brings MD to a lost of 552.5 Pounds YESSSSSSSS :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Alrighty, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I am so happy for you. You have about 30 days......live like you're banded NOW. WOOOOOHOOOOOOO

I got my motivation. I lost 10 pounds last night. OMG I was jumping up and down and hugging the weighers in while in my underware. :faint: I now weigh 373 pounds. I went past my 375 but it is ok. I want to go with this feeling and lose 4 pounds this week to get into the 360's. I have wasted enough time. I have been drinkinig slim fast for breakfast, eating 2 salads a day, especially on the weekend. For quick food I have been keeping sugar free jello and pudding made up in the fridge. I will put whatever dinner meat we had on the salad. I haven't been focusing on food because I have been busy. I have been trying to stay away from McD because I could go there everyday. I am so happy. WOW 459-383-373- 369-365-360-350

Thank you dear, I needed that. Yeah salads are de-lish and go down well.
