Jaime, I'm glad to hear that having your gallbladder removed has helped you. Gallbladders being removed is common for people who have lost a lot of weight so quickly. Take care of yourself. This morning I had a band experience. I have always had a problem with restriction... I've just never felt it after the first month of surgery. Not really. Maybe a few days after my fills, but they never lasted. This morning I made myself a nutri-grain waffle. I always toast them pretty hard because I like them crunchy. Now as most of you know I have a problem with drinking while Im eating, but I have been working hard on stoping that. It's VERY against the rules and for good reasons...but I couldn't seem to stop. I've been doing good for a few weeks, but honestly I can still eat whatever I want, but I make myself stop before I get too full. As I was eating my waffle I got a pain in my chest like it was stuck there. It hurt pretty bad so I gave the rest to my dog and starting walking around. Then I started gagging and I ran to the bathroom. I suppose what happened is I "slimed" though I had NEVER done that before. EVER. It was disgusting. I did PB once or twice, but ew. Anyway, turns out I do have a band in there. I thought it had melting away seven months ago.

It is really easy for me to keep up with my friends on a blog. I have one I update pretty regularly. tarainthecage.blogspot.com Many people on LBT have blogs at blogger. I enjoy it. But I like the thread too, I will keep checking it thanks for sharing

My new resolution. only eating out once a month. Thats doable. I can do it.

I had a lot of fun in New Orleans. I saw a long lost friend I haven't seen in years working at the Cafe Du Mondo. I didn't diet, but I walked around five or six miles a day so I think it made up for it. I still gained a pound, but I drug my gazelle out of the closet, all that walking felt really good so I am setting it up in front of the TV. I figure one movie = 1.5 hrs of exercise right? Thats good for me. Oh and hello, my lovely lady VVs.

And where is Esme? Does anyone know if she is okay?

April Goals Lose 6 lbs Exercise three days a week Buy new curtains Bringing my lunch to work really really helps. I miss eating with my coworkers, but it was just too hard to keep up with them and still lose weight. Tap, How are YOU doing?

Good luck BT

Lean pockets make a little breakfast pocket that is really good with about 140 calories. That was tasty too.

One scrambled egg with green and red bell pepper, onion, a sprinkle of low fat cheddar cheese, a tad bit of butter, and a few cubes of ham It was awesome and had lots of protein. I chopped up the onion and bell pepper and put them in plastic bags so I can continue to make this breakfast when I have to go to work. It was yummy, and pretty healthy too.

jaime, I read that gallstones are very common when you have lost weight quickly. I wish you a quick recovery.

I had a bad weekend, it was so frustrating because I did good all month...Ohhhh well. Marcie and I are driving to New Orleans this weekend and meeting her twin sister there. She is turning the big 3-0 on easter sunday.

Yes, I went for a walk, and I was walking my 85 lb lab who was in very excited so I not only walked at a faster pace than I am comfortable with, but I got an arm work out too. I love her, but she is so strong. I finally got my wii fit back yesterday, I loaned it out "for a few days" to a girl at work who ended up keeping it for a few weeks instead. I missed it too. The wii has a new fitness game I'm going to buy for the wii balance board. I thought I would give it a try to change things up. Shiny, you must be so proud of yourself for all that running. You go girl. Good job Tap, I am very impressed with both of you.

I am going to a sushi party tonight, and on Saturday I am going to go to my favorite play EVER "Parrallel Lives" It is really clever and funny. I went for a walk yesterday. I am just getting back in the swing of things, but I did lose another 1.2 lbs this week. Maybe I can just continue to lose a pound a week I would be happy...Two pounds a week would be better. I would love three, but I'll take 1.

So, It probabley explains this in the thread...but is that a scale of 1-5 or 1-10?

Hi. Nice to have you.

You know, I wonder how Gibsland is, I know she was having the same problems as I was and I wish I knew how she was doing.

Shiny those cakes are purdy :thumbdown:

So what do you guys think about a weekly weigh in? It would help us hold ourselves accountable, not to mention keep everyone in touch. If noone thinks it is appropriate I would understand, but what do you think? Yay:thumbup: or Nay:thumbdown: Wanna Vote?

You aren't whining you are discussing :thumbdown: I hope you and the Dr. works it out. Dvia- I think asking for a small unfill is wise, you have had issues with real food for a while now.

I ordered furniture on the internet yesterday. I think I might have an online shopping addiction. It's so easy, and fun. Shinyhappy- Get well soon. Audone- Hi glad to have you. tapshoes- Thank you. I am pretty excited. I only have about a year of crap to go to get a degree, but I'm trying to get my masters in social services...thats gonna take a while. And five inches of snow! I've been in short sleeves for a month. I can't wait to move somewhere with snow. I love sweaters, and double layering. *sigh* I will have to scan in my sketches soon. It's hard because our Scanner is having difficulty recognizing my new Dell, but we are working on it.

I start school in June. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm actually doing a lot of sketching lately. I drew something I am going to attempt to turn into a painting. We will see. This weekend I cleaned. I also rented Bolt. Cute movie.

I ADORE this.

tarainthecage Is my twitter name. It's also my blog. I just like it.

My thoughts exactly.

Oh yeah, I'm a very "Do what I say not what I do" type of person.
