What does the B12 do for you??? Meaning why do we need it? My levels have never been low, so im not that smart w hen it comes to vitamins etc. I forget to take my multi all the time.. Is vitamins a huge requirement for sleeve? Like RNY?

Okay ladies, i hope everyone had a good day talk to ya all tomorrow.

OUCH no good! Hope your hand heals fast!!!!

WELL.. if i could do it all over, i woulda just stuck with the preop diet and not gotten surgery. I have no insurance, and i am screwed. Basically no fluid, but instead of pbing i VOMIT... like from the pit of my bottom stomach. IT really pissed me off today. Anyone try spirulina???? OH! And if you ever loose kaiser they dont give a crap about us anymore. I will get to goal but it will not be due to my band.. thats for sure...:cursing: So onto a better phase.. hows everyone food today??? Im abou tto go to the fair. Im gonna try doing the slim fast diet for two weeks for a detox off of carbs.. Why dont we do a recipe of the week thing?? maybe make dieting more fun?

Oh my gosh who passed??? Didi miss something. Pam how is that diet working? Im just going back to the basics...

Are they recommending Sleeve more now???? I wish they would have let us know about that a year and half ago.. Whats the stats on that one?

Wow, Tina what a SMALL world. What is medifast? Congrats to her! Id have to admit i lost WAY easier prior to band then now. Now its like you have a hard time eating when stressed, tired, dehydrated, exhausted, early am, late night, and liquids are just so nice. I am making a goal though of 15-20 before xmas.. i think we can all do it. Thats only 1 lb a week. Weve lost 3 a week.. so i know it can be done!!! Im cutting carbs down to one meal a day, and no more alcohol. That stuff i think seriously is getting me in trouble. OH and my coffee intake!!! I never drank coffee preop.. now i get migraines if i dont!!! Today I bought some natural herb supplement and st johns wart lol.. and mom wants to try slim fast for two weeks to detox.. off the carbs.. AND, i moved all my pasta crap to stephens cupboard. Ok.. im done talking. Anyone wanna do a challenge or something?

Hiya ladies! I recognize the past 3 pages of names! Woohoo:) lol. Hows everyone doing. Im doing okay, been fighting the same 10 lbs for EVER now. I asked the same thing, if RNY would have been easier, and ya know it probably would have, because your body just doesnt absorb anything... well the downfall is their vitamins.. i dont know about everyone else i take mine like never.... Might have something to do with not loosing. I would love to get back on track. TV is like a never thing now, and im also barely online.. i think its the whole relationship thing..riley do you find the same? I do need to start going again, i actually miss it! I miss you all. I say we should all work on loosing 15 lbs by christmas what do ya say:D

Don't worry to much about surgery. We all go thru that fear though, i remember staying in the hotel room the night before asking myself if i was sure. Just tell your husband not to tell anyone whats going on. I had not told my dad about my surgery.. well... come to find out i find out a YEAR OUT. That mike called my mom when i was having issues waking up.. and my mother called my dad!!! So let your spouse to not stress that these surgeons are awesome and super busy! It will be over before you know it, and the first year will pass by before you know it. Good Job Tina! Since our talk and my telling myself that sweets are like crack.. i have gone down 3. So we will see how much self control i can get back! AND, im bringing my lunch to work, no more eating there! I cook for elderly for a living right now.. NO GOOD. Now im sick.. bla im going to bed. HEY anyone have Liz direct line??? I need to find out how much a fill is self pay.

Tina!!! So nice to see you on here. LOL i know lemme guess... "Nicole you disappeared too.." oh boy do i know! I am glad Dr baggs said that. Because I hate to say this but i sooo wish i listened to Pam a long time ago. :confused: If i had I would have probably not done surgery and not be regretting it today:) So how is everyone doing? Who is all banded now? I am still single.. well kinda have a crazy bf, some of ya know about him:) As for my band, well when i left mike back in Sept i got an unfil, so i have no fluid, and no insurance.. boy im in a fun situation. MEANING no band in essence, but at the same time i have my band.., now i have two tummies to make full.. because for some reason the top one is starving cause the food goes right thru.. (even when i eat only protein) With no fluid nothing holds it up there. So i am always hungry.. i am about to scream but whatever. Im getting back on track with my tina bean and no fills. Time to go back to the basics, only thing i really need to figure out is how to keep both stomachs satisfied... any ideas welcomed, and yes ive done pure protein diets..actually wanna hear somethin crazy if i eat bread i actually stay full longer cause yes i can still get stuck:) believe it or not!!! So if i put a carb in after i eat my protein it creates a block and just keeps me full:D lol bad stuff. Exercise is going good again i did take two weeks off, but im back to my daily runs. Im up to running two miles straight.. i love running, i dont know why... Well enough about my stressors.. how is everyone doing! Im gonna try to check in more since dr baggs thinks we need to visit here more often and not just with the bandsters in the same stage as me:D

So the thread is still alive wow! Im on page two crazyness... SO, i had my Bandaversary.. yesterday celebrated with spaghetti squash for dinner. So, I remember a year ago pam telling me how much harder it is 1 yr out, and girl you got it! I love ya... Hope all is well!!!

Good Morning... So i cant make it tonight:( Im so sorry. But auh be darned i am sick again. It hit me 2 days ago and now i cant breath this is ridiculous. What is everyone doing next thursday??? I am off thursdays.. so id LOVE to see you guys for lunch or maybe a shopping trip.. i dont care i miss my girls.

Today my sister is saying good bye to his body. It has done a bunch of crap to us. We both just ate and ate and ate.. and whats bad is it tends to be carbs when u eat for depression. i never realized how much i cared for him. It sucks. Doesnt help that my daughter is attached to him... she is doing well, she got a tat that has his initials and stuff.. not so proud of where.. but she is rebelling a lil.. leaving makayla everywhere.... not good. Its getting easier though.. or we are all just in denial.. I know i still don't believe it. The services are on a saturday.. but im not going. I don't want to cry anymore. none of my fam will be there.. i went to his benifit last weekend.. i feel that was enough tears for me.. but i am loving exercise.. and im working out with a good friend.. hes helping me get to goal.. once i am though i have to buy him a tat to pay for his help lol. The deal was if i dont loose he pays my membership.. i was an idiot to make that deal considering I AM BANDED!!! Our bands do help when we do everything right lol. Cause in one week i was already down 6.. i couldnt do this without it.. I love you girls! Can someone email me reggies addy and ill do my hardest to come. I wont have miss audrey.. i dont have her weekends:)

Mrs Donna, did you forget my name? LOL, youve never referred to me as auds mom.... i hate to say this but they are talking about our group, i say this because they used to recommend us.... big time. It was when it was just the first group of us.. until we were all like 6 months post op. BUT i have to say we are all doing great. I wouldn't be where i am without these women and men..... back to accting homework:(

Reggie what time Saturday? I get off at 4. But if its at like 5 i can be there:D

Anyone follow the news? How about hear about the murder/shooting of a man in the Jack in the Box parking lot tonight??? That is my Brother In law... i am a disaster.. i cant stop eating... crying.. crying... eating... I never ever thouhgt i would feel this way for this certain person. He leaves behind a 1.5 yr old daughter who ADORED him sooo much, and a 2 yr old niece that looked forward to spending every moment she could with him. This is a TRAGEDY. My sister is destroyed. I dont know how to handle death. I am so sad. Please everyone send your prayers to my sister.. i dont know what to do besides eat:(
