    BreakFast Ideas

    Mary these are easy and you can freeze them, just pop one out of the freezer and by the time you get to work it will be defrosted.... nuke for a few seconds and poof ! Egg Muffins Spray w/Pam a 12 hole muffin pan, put crumbled cooked sausage or cut up ham or bacon or whatever you like in the cups. Some broccoli or spinach or asparagus would be good too. Add grated cheese, cheddar, montery jack or swiss (use light chese to keep calories lower). Don't over fill it w/the meat & cheese, like about 1/2 way or 3/4 at most. Beat 8 eggs with a splash of light cream or milk or half and half, and spoon egg mixture into the cups. Bake 350 degrees, maybe 15- 20 minutes or so, you'll see them start to brown. The possibilities are endless, you can add any kind of cheese, meat or veggies. LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE!!

    Dec. 5th surgery date

    Hi Cheri, Ditto's, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, gee that is reallllly sad One thing you must remind your family and friends is that you are not doing it to look good, you are doing this for your health. My BP was 150 / 98 and getting worse. I had to keep reminding my Mom of this. Its been a life long struggle for me and if no one understood then the heck with them. Every doctor is different some require a 2 week pre op liquid diet, others don't. My doctor said eat and enjoy and thats what I did. I was on Clear Liquids 2 weeks after surgery which was a bugger. Other doctors only make their patience go on liquids for a few days after surgery...so you see its all different. You need to talk to your doctor. I'm surprised he hasn't told you what to do by now. I am not allowed to lift anything like laundry for example for at least 6 weeks. Same with exercise, none until after 8 weeks. But then I don't get a fill for over 2 months where others will get a fill at 6 weeks. I would say you'll need the first two weeks for your family really to help you out. Just follow doc's orders and you'll be fine.
  5. Welcome Fee !!!!! Glad your doing good. Just take it easy and remember you'll feel better in a few days. Just go slow and relax. HUGS
  6. Yep, once they give you that cocktail, you're out like kraut. Feels pretty darn neat. I have had several surgeries and I was still a nervous wreck, its only normal. Good luck tomorrow Paul and friday JCJSTL....... your gonna be stud muffins before you know it

    November Chat

    Hello I just got back from getting my hair done, it isn't highlighted blond anymore, its now a dark chocolate color LOL !! I asked for my regular mousy brown but she went a little overboard. Its very different but it will lighten up which is okay w/me. Beanie I asked my friend for the name of this laywer, as soon as she gets me the name I'll send it to you. She said since he has gotten the band himself he really feels for people who are stuck with insurance companies. So who knows. I don't know how much he charges, I just hope he can help you. Betty thats very sad about your parents. HUGS !!! Cindy have a great meeting (blech LOLOL ) I'm gonna read up some...bbl

    Slime/Pb = Cold, Sore Throat

    My first thought is no because colds are viral but then what the hell do I know. Do you have allergies?

    Questions on Whats normal?

    Tina did you talk to your doctor about this? I also have a 4 cc band but I'm not allowed to have a fill until after christmas. From what I gather here it takes a few fills, maybe your next one might be the sweet spot everyone talks about. I also know people with the big 11 cc band and even when they are 1/2 full they feel little or no restriction. It could be you just need a little bit more. When is your next fill ? BTW, 40 lbs is nothing to shake a stick at. I think its wonderful !!! I have to stop myself and walk away from the table too....

    New Bandster has some questions?

    How much are you eating and what are you eating? it could be that you ate to much or to fast or didn't chew. What phase are you on? When your ready to get busy you'll know. Just no head stands ROFL !!!!

    Newbie here considering lap band

    I was thinking the same thing, stick some rolls of quarters in your pockets ROFL. Is it your insurance company that requires your weight to be higher? or is it just that of the doctor? I am 5'10" and my weight at surgery was 262. My BMI was 37.1...... but I had high blood pressure and cholesterol. Can you check out a doc from NJ ?
