Somehow I keep getting either dropped from the list or my weights get off.

The starting weight should be the weight you started the challenge with.

count me down for 52 pounds for september

It isn't subways fault that we're overweight ... or that we had an ELECTIVE surgery to reduce the intake of food. Either purchase whats on the menu or find another place... it's that simple. If they had a lapband friendly menu then that would be fine. Do not go into an establishment expecting them to accomadate you because you had a surgery... Either purchase the sandwich or do not.. it's up to you.

I dont know why but for some reason I had the best vegetable broth there lol Must just have been the drugs they had me on.

I had a room with a view of Dairy Queen LOL Everytime I drive by there now I remember waking up from surger glancing over and seeing the big DQ sign. Who puts the bariatric ward facing an ice cream shop haha

haha I did that just last weekend! I gotta go get a new belt too :thumbup: It's fun to watch it go down one notch at a time. I love NSV's

Congrats on your accomplishments. I love your reflections because you can see the honesty and sincerety in your post. Some people are in denial about the band being a tool. you're doing great and I wish you all the best for your next 6 months :thumbup:

Actually the surgeon submitted for me. I called the insurance later that day and was told No answer yet give 14 days. My surgeon called 5 minutes later to say that BCBS called them and said yes. That was all within hours of submitting.

Glad to hear you're doing well!

I change mine all the time to different things :tongue2: Sometimes its a mini goal of 5 pounds or it's an event coming up in my life and such. That way I don't get stuck staring at the same numbers haha.

Congrats! Doesnt it make you feel awesome after a good work out!? I love that feeling :tongue2: Keep up the great work!

Congratulations! It's really surreal isn't it? I am hoping to hit Onderland by the end of the year as well thats my challenge :tongue2: 216 and going down! Keep up the great work. Posts like these inspire everyone!

Good Morning Leslie. Well I lost 2 pounds last week and now only 1 pound this week. I am really hoping that I am not heading for another plateau! I know a pound is a pound and I could live with losing that actually as long as it's steady haha. We will see though. I can't believe I am 216 now. I would of never thought I could get this close to onderland without my band and without starving. I owe a ton to the band :tongue2: Plus I am really happy to be over the first 50 pound hurdle! The best friday ever is the one where you weigh in and the scale went down! How is everyone else doing?

because the scale moved down 1 pound.. Gotta fix my ticker hooray.

Mom I am sorry you had issues but thankfully they weren't too serious and you will be able to get back on track and healthier :smile2: I would faint if they tried to have me stand up and speak.... Lets just say I wouldn't be a good speaker while laying on the ground passed out! Congrats to you though for all you have accomplished :bored:

My daughter weighs 140 and wears an 8 and I am 217 and wear a 14 it's all about shape.

I used to love Pasta... Now its just another meal and nothing special. I can eat it but I have to plan on chewing till the cows come home. I get bored of eating now.. its kinda nice.

Also check the advice of your doctor though. I was on solid food by week 2 though with my doc.

What is a clear liquid diet?: A clear liquid diet is a diet that consists of food and drinks that are clear, meaning you can see through them. In this type of diet, you aren't limited to colorless food and drink; you are limited to food and drink that are clear. Example: apple juice has color , yet is still clear. What is included in the clear liquid diet?: You can consume clear juices, ices, hard candy, and Gelatin. See examples below. Examples of clear juices and beverages. : Apple juice, grape juice, cranberry juice are okay but without the pulp. Fruit punch is okay but you may want to dilute it with Water. Strained lemonade and limeade, Beverages: coffee, tea (hot or cold), Kool-Aid, clear sodas, and water are all acceptable. Soups: Bouillon, broths, fat free consommé, and strained vegetable broth are all good choices for the clear liquid diet. Sweets: Fruit ices without milk, fruit ices without fruit pieces, plain gelatin dessert, popsicles, are okay. Other Foods and Drinks: jelly (without seeds), honey are also acceptable.

Because I have a feeling at my next weigh in I will have lost :rolleyes2:

I always eat Breakfast. When I wake up at 515 I make a cup of tea and drink that while I get ready. Then I have breakfast around 7-730 am.

My fills don't hurt at all. I am sorry you had to experience that. My doc has me put lidocaine on my port about 30 minutes before appt and then he also gives me a shot to numb the area.
