oohhh hey i searched this website for recipies, and went to a thread where someone requested someone's recipies, heres the link and they sound good so im gonna try a few (: theworldaccordingtoeggface: My Favorite Protein shake Recipes

thanks everyone (:

just out of curiousity, does anyone here use a straw or even alowed to? i know that my nut. told us to never use a straw and i dont know if that was just at the begining. but do yo guys ever use a straw? and a couple of topic questions things, does it really take 6 months before you hair starts to grow back? i really hate taking clumps out every day ): what kind of exercises can i do in my room? (i dont like jumping around in here cause it feels like the floor is gonna fall in lol)and cause i dont want ppl watching me as i exercise. what can i do for cardio besides walking? (remember, in my room) i had something else but i forgot it lol

thanks everyone. its just that when i see a straw im tempted to use it lol i love straws but i didnt use them sept for the time i went to my cousins wedding the gum, youre not supposed to have it in case you swollow it cause itll get stuck ill make sure i keep up with my Vitamins and pro the tredmil, i already have one its in the cellar (it got used a lot) but ya, its my dads man cave lol and most of the time hes down there. i think ill stick to my biggest loser workout dvd and seventeen magazine workouts.. i have the wii fit i really want wii active and the biggest loser workout game for the wii. i really like circut workout/training..its fun actually lol LollyMoe-i told my dr and he said he would do it but he advised me not to. he said if i take it out ill gain everything back plus 70 more pounds. he said it probably wouldnt make things better too, so that made me feel like shit, ya know? and i have to get a new insurence b4 dec 31st and i dont think itll cover removal/appointments/fills so i dont know what to do. i guess i just have to live with it but if i ever, EVER, get sick like i was, its coming out cause seriously i cant deal with it and i mean it, when i got sick like that, i was depressed. ugh!

Meaning I was going to keep my band..some of you know I said I was getting my band removed, I think I posted a thread about that in September. I thought I was going to be ok I thought I was starting to come around finally. I feel like I get the nausea every other week. And most of the time when I walk I get sharp pain where my band is. On October 30th I had very severe chest pain/acid reflux for like an hour(it seemed) last week was a pretty good week except one of my gym days at school I felt like I was gonna vomit (we were playing football). Yesturday we were playing our third day of pillow polo(my fav thing we do in gym class) I took a few sips of Water and it felt like it was gonna come back up. Last night had the chest pain/acid reflux again. Today I have really sharp pain in my stomach and diahrea, feel like I got to vomit, have a headache, feel a bit dizzy and a bit shakey. I see my dr on Wednesday. It's going to be official this time, my band's life is going to come to an end, yes I came very far trying to fight the nausea but I just can't deal with this anymore. I had nothing good but bad experience with this band the only good thing was that I lost 30 pounds and accomplished one of my goals and that was to be under 200, I'm done with being sick, it's the end of the road for the band but it's NOT the end of the road for weightloss!!! Thanks for listening (:

thank you guys

Evanescent_Soul- lol hey, im doing okay, nausea is gone but i still get it here and there and it still sucks, and i missed like 4 weeks and 4 days of school FML lol i'm supposed to get my first fill for once and for all on the 18th but i dont want it lol maybe i should get just one before i get my new insurance if i even get one at all i dont know what insurance im getting and i just hope it pays for removal and the fills gahh. yup i did have the flu i hated that week cause i drank some orange juice and it gave me severe chest pains like wtf lol i dont think im supposed to have it since i have the band and all so there you go. yeah my school too, they actually finally decided to close it since the whole week the school was like a ghost town lol, closed it on oct 30th. BabyBurnzi- hey, good luck (: yeah the Protein liquid diet part did suck but hey it was worth it cause it made me lose 8 pounds beofre surgery and i didnt think i lost any :w00t: when i started my pre op diet it made my stomach upset at first but i got use to it. i had chocolate and it was digusting so i prefer vanilla. yes i hate when people get something that you really like and eat it in front of you while you cant have it. i told one of my bestfriends but i didnt tell my other bestfriend. the one that knows, i can trust to keep it a secret, i dont know if i should tell my other one =/ but i told one of my teachers so she knows cause i was out of school alot like 2 weeks and 3 days cause of nausea (yeah i was one of those who had nausea since surgery, only had two good weeks without it, i still get it but not as bad as i did or unless i have a cold or the flu/sick ya lol but i missed 4 weeks and 4 days the other two weeks i had a very bad cold and then i had the flu which sucks! and the had to cancell school cause everyone was sick and i guess a couple people had H1N1) anyways i have to get a new insurance and theyre having a hard time getting me one, i turn 19 next month and i need it now, i need insurance thatll cover removal of the band if i need it if it doesnt ill be SOL. >.< yeah my goal is size 3 or 4, mainly the 4 and i really hope i can get there by my one year aniversity of the band (july 31st) all i can say is DONT BE SCARED!! you will be fine (: i didnt have much pain, for me it just felt like i did 1000 sit ups, but the gas pains are really annoying, i found that Gas-X works(some people say it doesnt work but i found it did) i had severe pain in my chest on Oct. 30th (actually felt like it was where my diaphram is and it moved to the left side of my chest and back to my diaphram for about an hour and i took a Gas-X strip 30 mins into it and it relieved the pains but i seriously thought i was gonna have to go to the hospital.) yeah if i knew i was gonna have nausea like i have, i wouldnt have gotten surgery, but some people have a more sensitive stomach and it takes more time to get over it, i'm getting through it, hey i lost 31 pounds, ya i could have lost more but im happy that im losing..i dont want to lose it too fast either cause i dont wanna risk getting the lose skin (since we're younger we shouldnt but if you dont exercise and still lose it fast you can). i know if it was me and i wanted to see a movie the same day-ish i got surgery, i wouldnt be up for it, i would be too tired and i would want to lay down, but if youre not in pain or if you dont feel sick or tired, deffinatley go for it (: i cant wait to see new moon either :wink2: good luck to you too iHaveh0pe3- im able to eat Pasta but its really hard to eat it, if its spagettie i blend it. you can eat toast and english muffins and if you like subway you can still go there, just make sure its healthy and toasted. speaking of the chicken nuggets, im able to eat those, if im out of town like when i was in PA (i live in NY) i got chicken nuggets. and last night i had breaded chicken nuggets, didnt bother me. it had a lot of protein in it 11grams. you got surgery on my friend's birthday lol anyways im out 14 weeks and two days =/ (: i had to stay over night too, good thing i did cause i got very nauseous ive been nauseous soo much (i wrote this above as well and how long i have had nausea) the worst part of the lap band was that, i think if i havent had that i would of lost more and i would of felt a lot more like myself and a lot happier, i think this surgery actually made me sad (i was sad soo much, i felt like i cried almost every day, like why did i do this to myself, ya know?) i actually had to go to the hospital my 3rd day out cause the nausea was that bad, but i think its starting to get better i mean i feel more like myself but i still get nauseous. the pain, i thought it felt like i did 1000 situps and the gas pains went away at like day 3, i didnt take any medicine either besides nausea pills which made me sleepy and i took Gas-X strips for the gas pains.

RyanX93- congrats I'm down 33pounds since surgery(July 31st) but of course I was so nauseated I barely was able to eat. Had severe nausea for about a month and a half I still get it and it sucks. I caught a bad cold and I'm now just getting over the flu. My expeirence with the band hasn't been all that great and it dissapoints me. I'm in my last year of high school and I missed 2 and 3 days out of September(severe nausea and dizzy-ness) and 2 weeks this month(cold/flu) hopefully this is it for that. I still haven't gotten my first fill yet I'm supposed to get it on novermber 18th depending on how I feel... So you're able to eat bread? Cause I always wanted to go to subway and I just realized you could get the bread toasted, are you able to eat lettuce, tomatoes, and onions? I'm not sure if I was aloud to have that should ask eh? I tried pizza and it doesn't bother me but I was scared to try it but I was in Pennsylvania and all they had at my uncles and the wedding was pizza lol owell that's over. I don't think I get enough fluids down and I don't know how to make sure I do. I know I drink less fluids than I did before surgery Evanescent_Soul-just so you know, I'm still alive lol
