BIG :confused: and so so sorry for your troubles I'll pray for you and your family. You've come a long way on a tough journey, that says something about you: your strong and you'll make it thru these tough times. and who knows maybe you'll end up with a better job.

The foods above are on the list because this is a healing stage. If you lose weight before your first fill it's a plus. when you introduce solids to your diet you should be making better food choices. their is alot of foods that aren't bad for you that you can have on the mushie stage also, but it's up to you the ones you choose to go with. there's a lot of threads on here with good alturnitives.(sp?) good luck

Just a quick welcome, and good luck with your insurance co. & a speedy approvel.

Hi! Just wanted to welcome you. I don't know anything about crohns, but if your worried do some research on line and get a second opinion. Good luck

Welcome:girl_hug:, It's nice to have you join us. good luck on your seminar.

Mushies, I ate them scrambled and omelets with low fat cheese. If your in hurry the jimmy dean cheese omelets arn't bad and their about the right size. egg salad with low fat mayo.

DEgirl, so sorry to hear about your health problems big:girl_hug: thoughts and prayers are with you dailey. I'm getting hungry alot sooner also, I'm calling about a fill today.

Boos, I got it off of smiley central

I assume that's you in the pic, you look great. You sure don't look fat.

Well said!

Yep, me too. I was told they would like to see 10lbs a month. but I think I'm gonna give them more like 5 or 6. DEgirl, are you hitting your goal? Me & Charlene seem to be a little shy.

I'm 1lbs closer to onederland, 17lbs to go. when I get there I'll start consentrating on the other 39lbs. I'm trying to make my goals in baby steps. And at 1lb at a time what else can you do?

They pulled air out of mine when I got my first fill also, I'm really ready for my second one. I really want to get some restriction. And I'm ready to lose more then 1lbs a week, That seems to be my average these days. not complaining because a loss is a loss but I would really like to see a little more.

I'm glad your powers back on, It's terrible to live without it these days. And congrats on the fill. What size Band do you have? do you know the fill level? Mine-10cc w/9cc fill level. They said i had a large stomach (go figure) I'm at 3.6 w/first fill.

I'm with you girl friend, leave the ticker alone. I changed my ticker back and forth for 3wks before my first fill from now on it's staying and if nessary i'll catch up with it well i'll cross that bridge if i get to it(hope not)

Charlene, so sorry to hear of your troubles, thoughts and prayers are with you and your community. When I read your post it made me think of just how differant all of us are told to eat. I'm on 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup 3 times a day with no snacks or grazing. If I had to eat 6 meals a day I would never get my fluids in you know with having to wait an hour after each meal to drink. There's just not enough hours in my day.

I think I could eat anything I wanted to also. my home is full of sweets(4 grandkids) and I make big ole country meals for my DH nightly. I haven't touched any of it, I give myself a reason every day as to why I'm staying on plan that day and take it one day at a time. I wanted to bite my granddaughters ho ho so bad yesterday but I managed to hold out, she even went as far as to ask me why I kept looking at her. I didn't have the heart to tell her it was taking all my will power not to tackle her and wrestler that ho ho out of her tiny hand. but I can't expect the world to stop eating all the things I love just because I can't have them. anyway that's my story and now back to you: when is your next fill? I'm sure that would help.

Welcome back ladies, it's great to hear from all of ya'll

Really sorry to hear of your trouble, hope you feel better soon.

Only, that's really good. I'm down 35lbs but that's including 13lbs from 2 wk pre-op :tt1:

I started curves this week, I figure I'd start out slow.

I vote for her every 24Hrs what she has acomplished is amazing. but had no clue that was her at the top of the page. she looks great.

Good luck on your Banding Annabelle hope all goes well.

I agree with Jill, be proud. besides you started at a lower weight then alot of us. sometimes the more you have to lose the faster you lose it until you get closer to your goal weight. And I mean your already running a 5k. I'm still trying to get past 30min. on the treadmill(I hate that thing) My 35lbs includes 13lbs on 2wk pre-op

So where have all the butterflies flown off to? haven't heard from a lot of you in a while, how about some up dates. I'm doing fine, I've lost 35lbs but still have 57 to go. so far i'm pleased with the progress.
