Teresita

I have to say I am proud of you. Stay in the moment and use this momentum. You are doing it!!!! yahhhh losing I love to see when people start in the 400's. I started at 459 and am now at 373 as of last night. ((((huggggssss girl)))))

One of the Md girls was given this diet instread of Optifast because it was too expensive. Great job yesterday, keep it up you will be banded real soon.

Oh my goodness, thank you ladies. I am going to crock pot my turkey for thanksgiving. I think I will do the can of mushroom soup with it. Oh wow that sounds good. It will be moist, tender, delicious and should be able to slide through the band. Thank you again.

Lord thank you for hearing chameleon prayer Lord. You said where we are gathered together in 2 or more you will be present. We are asking that Chameleon's children will not have the mutation. Lord we also ask that Chameleons unselfish plea also is given to her. Lord please let her BRCA1 test come back negative. All things are possible through you and we trust in you Lord. In Jesus name WE pray AMEN!

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

Oh Jimboss I am so sorry to hear about you Quest for moderation of cheese and pipsickles(popcicles). I had the popcicle thing for months after surgery but I am better. I won't mention the i.c.e.c.r.e.a.m because it has been on sale also and I was buying it everyother day. I digress, I am very happy to hear about your 30pound lost. woohooo keep it up or down. Just keep losing!

Hi my name is Teresita and I am a cheesaholic. I have been clean for about 7 hours. :nervousI know that was recent but I couldn't help it. I went to a banquet Monday night and they had, of all things on the table, :doh:chhhheeessseeee cubes and quarters of cheddar, swiss, pepper jack and that other one. :tape2:I tried but it stayed on my mind so to get my fix on Tuesday I went to Safeway around 9pm and bought swiss and pepperjack. I couldn't figure out what other cheese I wanted because they were on ssssaaaalllllleeee. My daughter said montery jack but it is not the same as pepper jack. Then she said where is the mild cheddar, everything is sharp. I had to leave, I left without american, I left withOUT the cheddar because IIIII wanteddddddd cheddarrrrrrr....*sharp*. OK breathhhhhhhhh woooooo. I think therefore I know I am addicted. I have a big cube of pepperjack in my purse right now.:speechles

I need the scale to be below 380 tonight. I really do. I need some motivation to keep going forward. Life is a trip.:straight

Wow dren you are a fast loser. LOL rrm Congratulations on you December band date. It is so very common to be nervous. Just read all you can on the boards and meet new folks. I'm sure LBT will feel like family real soon.

Hi new how are you?

Your port is on the other side right? Did you have gas pains after surgery? That is the only pain I can remember that was really bothering me. Oh yeah and some port tenderness. Let us know what the doctor says.

Congratulations and Good Luck

Hey where did the pie go?

No carbs please. Good cheat foods are salad, I mean green lettuce, broiled fish and boiled chicken if you have to eat something. You did real good, keep it up.

Ok I see you are not going to eat this stuff since you keep losing weight. At least give me a piece of the pie the little man is walking on. LOL

No Doug this does not suck because if you did not get these test you could have been in real heart trouble. It is a blessing that they have found this early enough to be treated without consequences. So no running any marathons until this is done. Oh yeah congratulations on the December 26 band date. LOL Hey that's your Christmas present.

I haven't seen this thread in forever. I had such a suprisingly wonderful night that I thought I would pull it out again. WOW I was really walking bake in the day. I'm really the thread above this one. I must have been having a great day then also. Last night was the final Take the Challenge closing ceremony. You remember the one on Mondays for 2 hours. One hour exercise and one hour nutrition. Well I had a ball. My girlfriend who passed away earlier this year, her mom and sister came with me and the group gave them a lily, gift bags and certificates of participation. That warmed my heart. They had asked me to speak, I wonder why, my big mouth guess. Anyhow, I have realized I am a true ham and I try to stay humble but it is hard when you want to pork it up. LOL I received so many things last night and it was great because my sister was there. I received a gift certificate from a hair salon, a $50 Target gift card, little radio, certificates and motivational tapes. Woohoooo I racked up. I have to say I am glad I did not get the gift certificate for the gym. LOL These things were for most improved bmi, one of the best losers and some I can't remember. The best loser lost 30 pounds:eek: . I have to say I love my band and my support groups. Love you LBT!!!

Today is the day for Kee. I left her in the hands of the Anasthesiaologist who was giving her a Margarita cocktail before going in to surgery. I am now waiting to hear from Dr. M.

Yeahhhhh she's up she's up, you go girl! Let me know if you want to go to TOPS tonight. I will come get you if you reallllllyyyyy want to come.

They said a heart attack but what cause it, they haven't said yet.

Connie just called and SHE'S DONE!!!! Crystalstar11 is FINALLY BANDED!!!! The one who started the MD LapBand Support Group and has watched each one of the existing members get banded. Her best friend lost the battle of obesity after having GBS which made Crystalstar look into other options and she found lap band surgery. After fighting with her insurance company and then changing companies she finally has the tool that she has been waiting for over a year. Patience is her middle name and she has been rewarded for her patience. GOOOOOOOO Crystalstar11 :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Sugar free has been my middle name lately. Pudding, jello and crystal light have been in the fridge and on my lips all weekend. I will continue to make this a wonderful habit. I am excited about getting to 375 and 350. I turn 40 next July and I am ready. I pray that I get there healthy. I can see my body changing and I am excited.
