ugh, thats not good, thats a tough place to be in, I pray everything works out for you... my wife is my biggest support, my mom and brother live close by too but are no help to me either so I know that can be frustrating... well you should feel good that you are investing in yourself and not putting up with cheating, no one deserves to be cheated on.. imho anyway...

glad you like it !

I dunno... I dont "feel" anything, Im not hungry, I guess thats all that matters... ?

hey chica... long time eh ? what new?

ah yeah, they are rough until you get used to them, I have only tried fruit punch, I hear orange is ok too, I do a oj chaser when I take them, plus I knock it back like a shot of ( insert fav bev here ) ... but no matter what they are a little rough but quick...

hey man, how are you doin ?

good, lost ten more pounds, how are you holding up ?

yeah thats tough stuff... well go out and walk or to the gym and work off your stress, its alot better than eating, but I know sometimes you need a cookie or something..lol keep your chin up.

hey, welcome to LBT ! and lapband world ! ha! how far into your program are you ? I am five months into my six month ins required dr visits, time flys by so if you have to do that dont get discouraged ! it will go fast !

take care !

SPEED

Hey, thanks for the comment !!!

hey whats up chicka ?

Thanks chica !! packing this week STILL ! moving Wednesday...

I had surgery, I went for my post op visit today, they said that they didnt take any out but just out it back where it should be ( below the stomach cavity ) and stiched it there this time, I didnt develope any scar tissue to hold the tube in place and thats how it came back up... thanks for asking ! take care...

congrats, sounds like your on your way to a new you !, I take a G2 Gatorade with me everywhere I go now, you can have anything cabonated because your new stomach wont be able to handle the gas from it, same with white bread, rice etc, anything that expands... along with my fav DO-NUTS !! but the way I figure it is those are part of the things that made me so fat to begin with so I figure I will live the second half of my life eating things that are good for me and help me lose weight instead of gaining it !

lookin great papa !!

Hey there, the best advice I ever received was to throw away my scale because you will become a slave to it and when it doesnt move you will think you are doing something wrong etc... I only weigh myself when I go to the LB doc for an adjustment ( plus home scales are not accurate ) go to wal-mart and buy some protein bullets they are little vile's of liquid protein -24g, multiply your weight by .4 and that will give you how many g's of protein to take in a day, protein is key to your weight loss... that and excercizing, get out and walk, I walk 4-6 miles a day, my total weight loss is @60 pounds so far.... but you have to be patient, you will go thru periods of fast weightloss then you will go thru plataues but you have to be patient, trust me you dont want to be very tight all the time, the thing to remember is we didnt get overweight overnight sooo it wont all fall off overnight either but this is the safest and healthyest way to do it ! good luck ! feel free to ask questions...
