*slim*

I am glad that your fill is holding. I am going to ask that they check my fluid level at my appointment this week. I feel like I don't have a band right now. I don't know what is going on.

:scared2::lol:That is a visual that just made my day!

To force me to stay inside and clean the house?:wub: I have been up forever. I have already done the grocery shopping and hit Sam's. I am now cleaing my kitchen so that I can mess it up again. MIL came over to bum more cigs.:scared2: While here, she offered to help clean. I guess that is supposed to be payment for the use of the car and all of the smokes from DH.:tt2:

:tt1:

Yay Beth! That is great!

You are so welcome. I normally just add quite a bit of garlic and onion powders to the ricotta mixture along with salt and pepper. It made the ricotta have some flavor. As far as the lean cuisines, they haven't gotten better. I just happened to find them on sale twice and stocked up. I was really tired of trying to come up with something to eat for myself when either I was at work, or my family wanted junk food.

You have done great! I just weighed a lot more than you at the start. Once I hit your initial BMI, the weight loss slowed down dramatically.

I am so glad to know that I am not the only one with the itching. I asked my coworkers and they all looked at me like I had grown another head. heartfire-I am sorry about your dog situation. Hopefully the medicine with help with the pain. I am going to try to get out today and walk some more. I hadn't really noticed if the hunger started after I started walking. That is something to think about. Have a great day everyone!

That is great about your fill and your weight loss. I am so ready for my fill. I went from having some restriction to being wide open. I have been starving from morning to night. The only thing that is saving me is I don't take anything extra to work with me to eat. If I did, I would be snacking all day.:thumbup:

B-coffee w/splend, lean cuisine roasted turkey and green beans L-lean cuisine lemon garlic shrimp w/angel hair pasta D-lean cuisine grilled chicken & penne pasta I know I am eating too many carbs from the lean cuisines, but they are so easy to do.

No problem. Those things are so good!

That is great heartfire! I am sure that new stroller will help you a lot. I was very active this weekend. I actually lost 2 pounds since last week. Yay! I walked the hills and stairs around my job today for 30 minutes. By the time I was coming back to my job, my legs felt like jello and itched like the dickens! I don't know if the itching is because my fat globs moving too much or what. Once I slowed down, the itching stopped. I don't get it. My hunger has seemed insatiable (sp?) lately. I have a fill scheduled for the 21, but I really could use it now. Will power sucks! I had planned to do the pouch test this week, but I forgot to buy the things I would need. DH said that he will do it with me (he's not banded). I thought that was sweet. I guess the true test will be if he actually does it.

DH offered to take me to see Star Trek yesterday. I decided I would rather wait until a little later. I am glad that I don't go to the main page. I don't think I could take belly shots so early in the morning.

OMG! I laughed so hard when I read that! She did call for cigs. I am glad that she got the rest from you!:mad:

Today wasn't a very good eating day... B-coffee w/splenda, waffles w/syrup, sausage patty L-left over sausage patty D-6 oz salmon S-2 sugar free chocolate chip cookes S2-1 oz sun chips, salsa, tbsp sour cream

I wondered if I was the only person who thought of that. Everytime I have to see him, I think of the fact that he knows what I looked like naked!

That would be great!

I think she's ok, I just do think that they should have more banded people there if for no other reason than to reassure patients about what they are going through. It helps when the person you are talking to knows from experience what you are talking about as opposed to just reading/hearing about it.

To all of the mothers, Happy Mother's Day! :tt2::wub::biggrin::wub::biggrin::wub::biggrin::wub::biggrin::wub::sneaky::wub:

I agree. It would be nice to have more banded people working there.

Shopping is my new vice. Now we just need to win. :-)
