Donna i did the day 1 finally:D I read your post and got my butt on it:D So now im catchin up with big brother:D

They dont forget to call unless something seriously goes wrong because its an actual appointment.. You will get a card and everything.. But if your appointment comes and goes id just call them:D

Cauliflower potatoes are amazing! Candra i think you are gonna be a gold star at this banded stuff! For sure!!

I just pulled out the binder, its the same, but in puree you have to puree the cottage cheese, thats why we all call it Mushies.. it is all in a mushie consistency like mashed potaters. But i dont think anyone liked pureeing the chicken, i did it.. and even took a pic but ate it once....:sad:

Hmm, i know our puree in my binder and i know chris and iwere contemplating with the same stuff, but like the cotage cheese we had to push it to make it a puree.. They will go over it during the preop class....:sad: AND jes, you do not advance yourself. Liz will call you and tell you when to do full liquids then robin calls for the rest. You will all be VERY happy to start softs:D

No they are two different stages, however about 5 days into puree people slowly thicken it and try things like the ricotta in spagetti sauce lol I had a lot of pureed chili during puree.. and robin later said thats a mushie even though it poors.. whatever:D I am so excited for both of you surgery gils!!! My menu: B:Almonds 150 cals L: chicken salad 1/4 c Lettuce 200 cal D: Salmon Chowder YUMMMMMO it says 261 but im gonna add it to 361 because i dont know how they were calculating it.. i had 1/2 a salmon filet and the sauce.. Salmon Chowder there for anyone who loves fish.. Candra i made this during mushies...

What is the pink elephant?????

Candra, dont tell liz or robin about your idea of the puree times.. cause most the things on your list are considered a mushie.........:sad: Im makin dinner... and auds is pissed.. lol my life love it.. Id have to say im scared of failing also...

Tamra, i went weeks without any bathroom activity preop.. dr baggs said it was fine.. I also had issues post op. Not anymore though...

Hey, i was a "normal" breaker.. i dressed in the preop before going, of course the nurse FREAKED lol, but iw anted to go home soo bad.. and it was already 4 so noone else was there... The 11:30 is your barium.. you will be calling Friday before surgery for YOUR time.. Dr baggs also told me not to cancel tina:D Oh and girls, everyone is different.. I was freakin up to the point, but then i was on the boards the night after surgery and was on the treadmill, i dont think i ever got quiet lol. Go figure...

Candra you look very small in the picture of you on sand. AND, you are gonna be right back there soooo fast!

Lol we arent tryin to give you anything to be worried about if anything im trying to help you get over the scars:D Jess the port can be revised.. the reason it starts to stick out is because when you loose weight thats just the way life is. And it doesnt always stick out.. for me it depends on the day, lol serious.. some days its like high and others its hiding so deep.. weird lil sucker..:sad: My husband doesnt complain about any of them.. so that is a good thing right??

Also candra with your size boobies i doubt you will even see it!!!:sad: Girl if i was worried about anything its my port stickin out, the scars arent anything.. seriously these are not big scars.. the biggest is 1 inch the port the rest are like a pinky nail tip..

Candra,the scar really isnt that bad.. hmm its really not in the middle either its more under the right. I think he will be fine.. that is one i can barely see also.

Isent you an add.. if you get on your email lol you can chat via yahoo im.. there:D

Hi Tamra im here to. do you have YIM??

Oh wow hes going on vacation i will definitely go this week then lol. Anyone remember what time our fill was for Thurs? Well i am happy to say i am not seeing anything about hte chocolate on the scale today:D LOL. Which is good. But id like to try to get down another 2 lbs this week so we will see. Candra... the scars.. hmm are not that bad. It really depends on your skin. Have you had any other surgeries? Do you scar easily,dark or anything? I scar very easily (that is why im scarred from my camping trip when i fell... eh..) My C section scar is nasty.. so i was only expecting to have fun with these ones. now only 3 of them are really noticeable.. the one between the boobs and on the other side of the port are like pen marks... the port one is very very light. the main one i have a problem with is the one closest to my belly button. It is kinda red and sticks up.. but thats it. I did aloe on them yesterday and i can see a difference.. so im gonna do tummy rubs every nite...

Lol i guess it was kinda a wash not really, but, why did we get lap band..so we could never have a sweet again.. lol not i!! Ok well im gonna go shower then off to bed. Nite gals.

I just figured out why i splurged.. noone watch showtime.. On big brother they are eating soooo much candy...

Anyone that is banded notice, you get an instant sugar high after eating chocolate??? OH.. btw, my mil checked my sugar level with her lil thing.. yes i let her stab me. lol well it says it was low but not super low. She is diabetic, and requires insulin shots a couple times a day. She was laughing saying how i am such the opposite of everything.. people get skinny to get rid of issues i get smaller to get them:)

Good to know you guys like Hummus i bought some from wild tree ill have to get some guts now and try it. SO.. i am done eating chocolate. Again i love my band, i could only have about 1/3 the bag... ok preop i could eat the whole bag. But im stopped i feel full lol off of chocolate covered almonds. Well it is full of protein lol. Oh well. THANK GOD i didnt get rny i wouldnt be able to splurdge on chocolate when i want.. LOL ok when you splurdge DONT READ THE CALORIE INFO! lol. oh my.. there went all the work i did on my walk.. oh well im still smiling.

AHHH the chocolate monster has bit me! omg i cant stop:( oh well.. soo good.. its like im pregnant or something i was craving it soo bad.. this is the problem with having chocolate from dove in my house.. its been there for a long time.. ( i sold the stuff)

I have the fit, anyone that wants to play with it come on over. It is more of a slow paced one. You dont really burn much. It is more of a game... I know actually a lot of people htat have bought it for weight loss reasons and got super bored with it.. Sheena bought it, and the fit she said was too slow.. she ended up with the dancing one.. she liked that for a while. So tamra u can come on over and try it first, personally the active is WAY better. It is just like any of the fitness videos, infact its better because it can tell exactly what you are doing.. so it tells u if u are wrong or anything.

LOL, ok tamra, i say get the wii active! It is way better then the fit. The fit actually is kinda boring, and very slooooow. Riley.. uhm calcium... oh my:) Watch it with that i am sure it could do something not good. Goodness i need to stop with the quick reply no way to remember what i was gonna respond to...

Candra: have an extra shot for me:D Im scared of the coffee shops:D I cant get a latte.. im not really a coffee person i like the.. ... Vanilla Chais!!! oh yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:) Chris, yeah i can eat ANYTHING.. i couldn't last week or the week before but then i lost some weight and now im loosie goosie.. Maria: uhm at the interview state that you will be having a surgery soon and you can get a paper to prove it.. but you will need 2 weeks once that is scheduled. They will be more willng to work with you at the begining then after.. Tina: you i doubt even got close to 1000 calories.. crackers..? Arent those not many calories.. Ok off for our walk ill be back
