Don't worry about other folks at work. I that it can be motivating for others to know. Even the ones who are negative, they make you want to succeed and show them that you have done this for the best you ever. Girl the scale can keep you in control of your weight. So for now, jump on it. I'm just jelous that I don't have one. LOL

So sorry about the stomach thingy. Better to have it now then after you are banded. That's great that you will be able to walk after being banded. I have found it to be the best exercise.

Good Morning Barbra how are you doing today?

Well tomorrow is my birthday...how do I feel about that. Ok I guess. It would be another day if it wasn't a holiday. I will be a full 39.....how does that make you feel... I don't know....I'm kinda waiting for 40 so I can have a big party. It's Monday, I'm at work and barely anyone else. I had a good weekend because I walked 6 miles. I have to get back to 3 miles a day. I will go to the rec center and get on the treadmill and see if it will work now. When I took a weight training class, I found out the the treadmills there had a weight capacity of 400 and so the thing would just cut off. Yes that is embarrassing. Now that I am thinking about it, I don't want to go find out. Okie dokie now, next..... Tomorrow I will get up early and go walk, the earlier the better. Oh yeah my butt hurt LOL. I guess my butt isn't use to this walking. I told the story in the MD Exercise thread. I did get a new pair of shoes. I am not in love with them but they were on sale for $40 so it's ok. I will get some shoes I really like. One day I will design my own on Nike id....yeahhhh. For right now these will do and thank God for them. I don't want to sound ungrateful.....too late. LOL:nervous I miss my mom:think Thoughts throughout the day. It's not everyday but this weekend and today all I can think about is food. I know my level of non restriciton and emotions are contributing to this.

That's funny!!

That is what today is. I don't want to be here at work but it's going to be ok. I need to reschedule my fill appt because restriction has left the building.:faint: ha ha ha ha I am just tickling myself today.

You did an excellent job, with this being your first day of liquids. Me personally I could not just jump in there all at once. I started out replacing one meal a day with a shake. Connie got a shrink the liver plan and it had shakes, bars, steamed fish and a few other goodies. I will have to go search for them.BRB Ok here it is...... Soup Broth Protein shake (slim fast, carnation breakfast drink0 Protein Bars I Was also told that if i have to have somthing else i can have salad w/ no dressing, Steamed fish, and Steamed Veggies,

I feel good ( dunnanana like I knew that woould dunnanana) I feel fine...oh ok I walked Saturday and Sunday. Not only did I walk but I did 3 miles each day at the Point (dunnanana) he he he he I've been short chagning myself with doing 2 miles at the the track. I think the 2 miles helped because I knew I was not going to do 3 miles, I would try to shave some time off my walk. So on Sunday I did it 4 minutes faster then I normally would. Saturday was no joke, I got to the park late, about 8:30 and the sun was beaming at 9. I had about 10 more minutes to walk but I didn't feel right (I had my water bottle) and my breathing was not right soooooo I spotted a shady bench and sat down. God is so good. I sat there closed my eyes and there was the most gentle breeze and it was cool. While I was walking and sweating I felt nothing. But this breeze was beautiful, I described it to my daughter as God blowing real gentle, cool air on my face. Oh wow it felt so nice. I calmed down, relaxed and put my head, to the side (like when you are in front of a fan), to the other side, up and down, oh it just felt so good. I thought it was going to eventually stop but it did not stop until I got up to finish my walk. I sat there for 15 minutes, I prayed, watched the planes come in and go out 1 right after another, I made 2 phone calls and I was refreshed.

Sureeee is quiet in here this morning.....this weekend I have very little restriction so I've had fast food here and there. Monday B: Burger King french toast sticks:fish:

Yeah 7 11 carries crystal light slurpees in MD DC VA area and as Meow said, they are kinda sour sweet. They actually taste tooooo sweet.

It's good to see you in a wonderful mood....keep smiling. I'm happy to hear you are arthur are getting along. WOW 96 that is amazing, I hope she was happy during her life. At 100 degrees inside I bet a lot of folks wished they had that cone in the church. You have to bring children to a funeral sometimes...enough said....mommmmmmmm (the kids are always a good excuse to get some ice cream)

Of course you can.....it's only sugar and carbs about 270 to 320 calories. I would say that is a mushy LOL They do have crystal light slurpee now. No you can't have pepsi in any form. LOL

I am sorry you are in pain. Here is a thread that talks about H polyri and you can do a search to find many more threads. Good Luck hun. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=19521&highlight=Pylori

I am so pleased right along with you about one of your goals. Scales can be so addictive. A lot of people do the same thing and you better believe when I get mine. I will be on it everytime I go to the bathroom, before and after I eat and drink. It's going to be sad but it will get me closer to my goals. Keep up the good work. I am so sorry to hear about the baby. : (
