CLOE

I agree, I think the pictures are a good idea. I could get very upset right now cause even though I've lost 46 pounds, only a couple of people have said anything. I'm still wearing the same old clothes, even though they are getting loose, and I've kinda been spinning my wheels for a few weeks. That's when I go the the pictures and see what I looked like a month before surgery. That's all I need.

morning mandi, I know I'm one to talk, about patience that is. But honestly, all of a sudden it'll be next summer and WOW, your gonna feel a whole lot different. I really feel it also has alot to do with age and maturity too. I'm not saying your immature, but I felt just like you for soooooo long then I just came to the time in my life where I just didn't give a $hit about what others think. Having said that, I still want to look my best, and it feels a whole lot better every few pounds gone. When I look back now I just wish someone had of said to me... "just relax, your great just the way you are now". I still tell myself that every day about everyday stuff. If we did'nt want to get to the next stage, we would be dead, it's human nature. It's just the way we talk to ourselves on the way.... Enjoy your comfy jeans! I hope I did'nt miss your point...I was interupped about a dozen times trying to read your post:)

Okay I just came back from a thread in the Lap-Band Lounge...Now I have the strangest craving for a sub......LOL

This is what my surgeon says....You should eat if your hungry, but do not stuff yourself. The band should take care of quantity, you look after quality. That some people eat 1/2 cup portions, some don't. You should lose about 1-3 pound on average per week, if you don't you may need a fill. Hope that helps.

Mandi your so smart. Yes, it's that perfectionist, game-playing, even-numbered, head-game, every-has-to-be-just-so, virgo-ism in me. If I just end up at 150, then it would only be 197 pounds lost, 200 is PERFECT:wacko: . Yes you SHOULD pray for me on Sunday:) ..lol.

I know alot of people don't agree with this but, my girlfriend is a total goodwill and garage sale freak. Her house is beautiful and is full of this stuff, and she could buy it new if she wanted. Just a thought.

Looking Good Mandi, Who needs furniture!! All you need is Love:kiss2:

Well I used to be 5'6", but apparently I have shrunk to 5'5":confused:

LOL... You guys are great....I'm try'n, I'm try'n. I picked yogurt with fruit instead of melted ham&cheese on a sub bun (thats good,right?) My brain can hear you guys it's just my body thats not listening!!!!!:rolleyes

WTG Neenaugh!!!!! Sorry I'm not Irish:cry . But I'm Banded:) !

I know Maria, isn't he great! Hope the fill goes well, let us know? How are you doing other than that?

I will, I will.....I just get so stressed out there:confused: . I have to be in the mood (no kids around bugging me):eek: .

Hey neenaugh, did you book a date with Dr. Mumford?

OMG..sorry aeropink I mislead you. Wow, I guess I made it just under the wire.

welcome aeropink, I can't help you with dr's in your area. But Dr. Cobourn in mississauga charges $15,000.00 with no extra's except for the opti-fast diet for a couple weeks prior to surgery(around $200.00).:eek:

Hi Buffie, Dr. Cobourn says no food or water 2 hrs before, and only water for 2 hours after. Then just liquids and mushies for a day or two. If you don't mind me asking why is your family doc doing your fills?

I plan sounds good. Unfortunatley our surgeons have our money, so let's see if they'll pay!!!:rolleyes lol

Hey Buffie, good to see you again. Life is busy, we understand. If you even went to SEE a personal trainer, then you don't suck. Good for you!!!

I'm with you guys, with the vitimins. I have bought them all, had the best of intentions, but gosh, life happens during the day, who needs to think about taking the pills too. I find it very difficult. Not that I'm giving up, never give up.

Well Sunshine, keep on truck'n. I found those B12 melts this afternoon at Zellers.

I would also like to know where to get them, Leila. Hey Sunshine how you feeling today?

you may just get your surgery for free ...lol

Hey, "Just" Paul .....................honestly, I've thought of 10 different things to say...lol:nervous ...................Notice (young)Mandi has been standing back a bit on this thread. It's the old(er) married girls, their the worst!!!!

:clap2: :clap2: Go Wheetsin Go :clap2: :clap2:

Okay Jack, breakfast today, dinner last night, No Pressure..:hail:
