i wouldn't risk it i would call to ask just to make sure.... because i would think the airborne would be ok.. i love that stuff i dont care what anyone says about it....

I have told her that I think food is the excitement in her life and she is aware that she has a serious addiction to food... that is really wierd.... her eyes :thumbup: light up like u are talking about going out with a really hot guy when u mention food or ox tails:drool:... she admits that she is a glutten and only wants to do something about it when someone ask her when is the baby due.. she will say oh thats not a baby thats just obesity...and laugh it off...But im trying to help her.. and she sees that when i am determined nothing can change my mind.. so i hope she stops this crap soon...

congrats plz keep us posted on your daily progress..

Actually when you burn fat it comes out in your urine. just think about when it seems like you have to pee and you really havent drank that much to to to the restroom as much as you have been going...And actually I learned this from the oprah show... when she dragged that wagon of fat out when she lost all of that weight on the liquid diet... she was like where did it go... and thats when the Dr. explained it to her...

I am so happy for you. This is the beginning of a great start for you. Anything that is too easy to get isn't worth keeping... but if u have to put out blood, sweat, and tears... trust me it's worth the keeping...lol..

U know what I do with mine is add tons of ice with my slim fast optima shakes and put it in my magic bullet.... and it is so good... I can't drink it unless it is really cold... other than that it will all come bk up....

Like I always said they will send u thru hoops to charge your insurance all kind of charges... for what.... for u to get a swollen eye.. and a restless night.. i'm sure u could have slept better in the waiting room...wow.. i hope u feel better soon....:thumbup:

Get out..... now that is amazing...I hope i get mine that fast......:thumbup::biggrin::tongue::biggrin:

Wow you know it isn't cool that you have to have it r/s but just think... you would not want to be the 1 in 1000 that something happens to you know... And think about how because they are making you wait.. the lives you are helping to save with this post... Also giving a heads up like myself... Because i take Adipex-p which is the brand name to phentermine so I am going to stop taking it as of today. Thanks again for posting this as well..

U r so right...lol.. I am trying to be strong.... and now she is on the Atkins diet...lol.. so now we are going to see how long this lasts for her...

:thumbup:Is there something that you are doing that keeps your matabolism reved up? Are you all working out as well? Not to say that it is a secret or anything but before I get banded I would like to know from the one's that are already and have had contue'd success what would u say contributes to your success that you have incorporated into your daily lifestyle...

If you had to lower your caloric intake down to 540 that is insane.... that means you would have to literally have to damn near kill yourself...

:thumbup:Has anyone ever seen this show on TLC before? I have been watching it for the past 3-weeks and it seems like it works... Basiclly they are saying that it is all in your mind...

Wow:ohmy::purplebananna:

If I may ask why did u have to be re-banded? Was it something you ate before that caused the band to slip or was it a defect in the band?

You know i must say you are not eating enough u need to add 1 or 2 more shakes to your daily intake... see your body goes into a platu state when u consume the same amt of calories for too long.. You need to shock your body and no doubt if u add an additional 300-400 calories u will see the scale come down.. and remember u have to make sure that you are drinking enough Water....***Also did u watch the biggest looser when jillian snapped on one of the girls on her team because she had only lost 1lb at the weigh in and jillian asked her what had she been eating.. and she said that she had only been consuming about 600-800 calories per day and she was like oh my god. noooooo.. Also Drink MILK......

I say the same thing... The host seems cheezy but i think its worth a try hey it's not like it will cost me anything.....

you know everyone goes thru what yr going thru..working out will not make u not want to eat sweets.. what working out for me does is make me think about what im eating before i eat it. I know it takes me about 60-minutes on the elliptical machine with my resistance level between 6-8 and burning at least 1000 calories per workout. So when i look at a reese cup and i look at the back and see that its over 250 calories im like oh hell no.... I did not just workout that hard to blow a 1/4 of it on a freekin reese cup.. If you get in that mind set then u will make your own mind up about eating sweets... Just say for an example if u did eat a cup cake and it was like 400 calories total.. work out an extra 20-minutes so u wont feel bad.... it is definately easier said than done but it will work...

Wow this is a saying that I will always stand by... this is so true...

:regular_smile: That is to funny, but true....

I know right... and when i spoke with them about it he was like... uhhh u know most people dont have nutrionist visits covered in their benifits so i just assumed that u didn't either... wow.. great job dude.. :regular_smile: I want the weight off and the same time that is what i pay for insurance for not to have to pay out of pocket for something that they will cover.. But now... im am playing the waiting game on my medical records to be sent over and it seems as if it is taking so long... but i have lost 10lbs by just eating what i see everyone on here eating.. like the deli meats.. turkey... and such.. a slim fast shake for Breakfast and such... but what if i loose too much do u think they will be like uhhh u don't need the procedure because u can loose it.. or will they understand that it's not about loosing it it's about keeping it off...

Oh my goodness you should be excited... The thing is, is that when u stop the liquid diet you many not loose anything because your body has to get use to having solids inside again but it will definately be a process... I have been there before.. congrats on your 8lb weight loss...:regular_smile:

u know do as much research as you can... Get the facts before u go and make an apt. with a Dr. so if you can go to a seminar or something to get info that would be great... people always are afraid of what they don't know. Everyone seems to think just put the damn fork down... back up from the freekin table and you will loose some weight.. or just workout and it will happen... that is true but if you are eating to supress other emotions and havent yet learned how to concour that it will be hard... so get as much info as you can then go to your mom and or primary dr. and give them the facts about the lap band not just your opinion....

You know this was my problem:cursing::biggrin:. I saw the phyc Dr. saw the surgon, met with a personal trainer..then a nutrionist and a Diet Dr. This started in like October 07.. but what pissed me off is that I have a weight lost history.. they were not interested in hearing that my current Dr. was prescribing me Xenical and Adipex-p to control my hunger.. they were only interested in what they were going to tell me to do. Once a mth i would have had to go to the Nutrionist and pay $50bucks then pay the co-pay to see the Diet Dr. but something did not sound right.. i did research of my own and found out that my insurance covered Nutrionist visits.. so its like why would they tell me to pay out of my own pocket and not think i would find out that they would bill my insurance for the visit anyway... then he had the nerve to tell me that at the end of the visits the Dr. would have to be paid 250$ in order for him to send over his records of my visits and they wanted me to pay out of pocket because it takes the insurance companys too long to pay and they wont send the records with out the pymt being made in full:mad::eek: I was like I don't understand where and how u think I have all of this money to pay. Uh.... sorry I found this other place in Chicago called the Water Tower Surgical Center that does not require a 6mth hoop jumping process... so im just waiting on my mecidal records to reach them....

This is excellent info:thumbup::biggrin::thumbup::frown::thumbup:
