OMG!!! I would love to have some fried shrimp and fish!!! I just know that I would throw it right back up!!! UGH! :think I went to TGI Friday's saturday for lunch and did pretty well with what I ate. I had a bowl of broccoli and cheese Soup w/a small side salad and x'd the croutons. I ate both of them with no problem and had NO dessert! :clap2: And then last night I had pizza :cry but I took the topping off first and then worked on the crust but I didn't feel that bad because it was the really thin crust from Domino's and my lil Pug loved me for not eating all the crust...he got the rest!

ME TOO!!!! OMG!!! I am a Sonic offender! I so thought I could handle some tater tots..... OH NO! That didn't work out right! It happens to us all! And taking a bite of an eggroll is a bitch too! Never again!:faint:

Read more about Aphrodite. My husband would agree! :heh:

So far today I am on my 3rd cup of coffee and if I finish the whole thing it will be a total of 4 cups!!! And for Breakfast I am eating Healthy Heart Oatmeal Blueberry flavor (1 package). Lunch - Soup Snack- ?? Dinner - A couple of frozen Margaritas with the girls! :biggrin1: HEY! It's TGIF!!!!!! :clap2:

Hey ya'll! :clap2: 70% Dixie here!! :rockon: Born and raised in Texas and will be til the end!

As far as the coffee, I was drinking it the day after...no problem...it was actually soothing because of the heat and the same goes for hot tea. The hot sauce doesn't seem to me like it would be a problem but if it is too hot you might want to drink more...so just use in moderation until you get used to it again.

So far for today I have had... Grits w/shredded cheese and coffee w/splenda & creamer lunch will probably be Progresso Hearty Tomato Soup Snack might be some lite cheese Water, water, water coffee, coffee, coffee tea, tea, tea - best tea from a drive-thru I have found is at Sonic and if you have a Cafe Express in your area you have to get their Black Currant Tea....OMG!!! yummy! dinner....not sure yet. Late night snack usually a coffee, tea or sugar-free popsicle or Jell-o I usually just eye-ball my food...I hate to measure...more to clean :eek:

:cry I never want to feel like that ever again!!!!!! My fill kicked in and it kicked my ass!!!!! I went to Cracker Barrell with my mom and husband yesterday and had the tortilla soup which went down ok but then all of a sudden... WOW!!!....I thought I was going to die. I went to the bathroom and paced for a bit and then I "went" to the bathroom and thought..." :omg: Oh no! This is my first major PB and I don't like it!!!And I couldn't get anything to come up!" So finally...My body decided that both ends was a good idea.....OH DEAR GOD!!! I WANTED TO CRY!!! So...I got that over with and have vowed to not do it again!!! Although I am sitting here in a little pain after my snack...I just need to get use to my fill :cry and figure everything out AGAIN! I guess it's mushies again! Not even scrambled eggs are working out!

I asked my doctor his opinion and he said that I could drink sodas with no problems. He said just not to gulp them. I had the same question and everyone has a different answer or thought on the subject so I went straight to him.

I started out at 223 and I am at 188 now. My goal is to reach at least 140. If I get any lower than that....woohoo!!! But if I maintain that then I am happy. Good Luck!!:biggrin1:

The only problem I have had was a couple of weeks ago when I had my deflation. The nurse missed twice and got it right the 3rd time. I went today and had a fill and the tech got it on the first try! :clap2: I was so happy for that!!! But other than that, I have had uneventul fills...no problems and no pain.:biggrin1:

That was quick, it just split!!!! LOL! Ok I just noticed only 3 people had voted...I need to pay more attention! DUH! It's still morning...

WOW! Can you believe the results?? I thought it might be a little more of a difference. Even split!

:clap2: Congratulations! Keep us posted on everything! :Banane09: :Banane09: :Banane09: :Banane09: :Banane09: :Banane09: :Banane09: Happy dance!! You are on your way! :Banane09:

I was wearing a black velvet jacket with a white, ruffled shirt under it. I have dark brown hair and I was sitting next to my mother-in-law who was wearing a blue sweater and has platinum blonde hair...can't miss her hair!!!! :eek: Not sure if you will be able to see me on this episode (Tues. I think). They moved us around and I was across from the stage in the front row up one level. There was a railing in front of me so I don't know if it will block me or not.

Well, I am back from Chicago and seeing Oprah. It was really interesting to see how things are done. The show that was taped airs today and it is about the Oscar's. She had Diane Keaton and Emma Thompson on and showed past winner's clips. Then we were going to do an After the Show but they had to do a show on the child predator's. They caught another one and she had the man that turned the predator in there and was interviewing him. So we were able to be there for two shows. She looked really good in person!! And she was very friendly and funny in between takes. I didn't get to see much of Chicago at all but I did get to go to a place to eat that someone on this board told me to go to! It was called the Flat Top Grill....and it was soooooo good! :biggrin1:

I will be at 6 months tomorrow and I am at 35lbs lost. Next fill this Thursday. It's coming off slowly but surely.

Well, I watched Friday's show and they really didn't show much of the audience but there is still the Monday/Tuesday show on child predators...we'll see. But it was a great experience and a pleasure just to be there.

Yeah!!! I went from a size 9 to an 8-8 1/2. It's a great thing!! But I have some great shoes that don't fit anymore or that I didn't have a chance to wear...:cry So, I guess I will just have to find more! That is the fun part!! :clap2:

I was wearing a black velvet jacket with a white, ruffled shirt under it. I have dark brown hair and I was sitting next to my mother-in-law who was wearing a blue sweater and has platinum blonde hair...can't miss her hair!!!! We were sitting on the upper level in Oprah's view of the audience...she was facing us. They had the camera in our direction at one point but that is if they use that. SO! Does this mean that instead of looking like I have lost 35lbs...it will look like 25lbs since the camera adds 10lbs????

I was so glad to see Brenna go and Sway too. I think both of them had the wrong attitude for the show and America saw that and got rid of them to give everyone else a fair shake.

I loved Chris...he is so awesome!!! :rockon: Elliot was good and so was Taylor....Ace needs to just model...he would be better at that...but I also thought Gedeon was good too....tough call but I think David and Will might be gone. And as far as the girls....my favorites are still Katharine, Mandisa, Paris and Ayla....Kelly is cute but they are better singers. Can't wait for tonight!

My NSV that I wanted to share was that I can wear 3 inch heels again with no problem!!!!!! :clap2: I went to DSW and bought me 2 new pair and I am loving it! I have a friend of mine who is so excited that I am buying shoes like this because she is one of those girls that are addicted to shoes and most of hers are 4 inch heels!!! :confused: Oh I am so not there yet and not sure if I would wear them that high but she is a pro in them from wearing them for years! She works in real estate and walks in subdivisions with them on! OMG! She has awesome calves and that is what I am striving to get back...those sexy, muscular calves that make even me go WOW! about myself. One thing I forgot to mention about getting back into 3 inch heels...dancing is so much more fun! Yes...by the end of the night I want to soak my feeties but it so worth the pain!! :confused:

Congrats!!! :clap2: You are going to be so happy that you went with Dr. Spivak! He is wonderful!!! I am going to be out of town on February 27 but I wish you all the best and I will check to see how you are doing when I get back! Take care! :confused:

Ok...this might not go well with people but I have to mention it about Ace. Those of you who live in Houston and listen to Atom & Maria in the morning on 104.1 might have heard what they said and they made some good points about Ace. He is a very good looking man but if you listen to him with your eyes closed, he doesn't have that great of a recording voice unlike Chris Daughtry and Taylor Hicks. I think that Ace will get far and possibly make it to the top 3 simply for his good looks and charm with the audience. With that said, I did still vote for him the other night because I do enjoy watching him perform but realistically he doesn't have the better voice of the men. And as far as the girls, Katharine McPhee is amazing and so is Paris Bennett...it is in their blood lines . Paris' grandmother was a famous singer and Katharine's mother is a voice teacher. I thought they were great!
