TLBC does it six weeks (no sooner) after surgery; in fact they book the appt for the first fill the day of surgery!

Just keep doing what u are doing Loriely...do the healthy choice thing and stop when you think you have had enough (even though your body may tell you otherwise). That is what happened to me for the longest time (until just last week actually). Just tell your grumbly belly to shut the #$#$ up!!!!! It's just pissed at you....not truly hungry. And, when you can't stand it anymore....think of how well you did on your pre and post op diets!! You are likely eating a lot more than you did then....so you KNOW you can do it. And...when/if that fails....eat something filling and full of Protein. I found some yummy "Lite Turkey Pepperettes" (Schneiders) that are yummy....and very filling and only 50 cals per pepperette and negligible fat/carb and 6g of protein. You can do this!! You already have!! Just keep it up. And when the grumblies start .....focus on something else....you'll forget about it. I know it is hard (TRUST ME!!!!) but you'll be okay....and if you do gain a wee bit...no worries....it'll come off again....I've done that...I gained/lost the same 3-4 lbs for a month....but then it will start to come off again! :huggie: I'll shut up now!!

Lets face it....certain people will never ignore it and will ALWAYS respond for one reason only: drama queens. They like the drama and feel the need to be a part of it and to play the victim. My two cents (and, the ONLY - and last- two cents I've put into this entire thing by the way).

Right ON Mandi....ur now closer to that 199 goal!!!

YOU CAN DO IT MANDI!!!!! Go for it!!!! Even if u don't make it, you'll be dang close!!!!

...and ya don't wanna know...ain't worth it!!! Just hangin' my head in here and a couple of other "out there" threads (ie. April bandits)...

good luck! I also understand! That is why I spend the majority of my LBT slotted time on the Canadian Thread. I hope all you instigators out there take heed...see how many folks you are driving away? That should make you feel very good indeed. Anyways....all the best to you!

Hey April Bandits.....another month is almost over!!!! After tomorrow we will be in September and we can have an April Bandit's September chat thread!!! I thinks we ALL deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done for the last 5 months!!!!! Lets hope Sep will be stellar for everyone!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Paulax.....one of the biggest signs that you need a 2nd fill is.... if you are not losing 1-2 lbs (on average!!!!) a week...despite following all the "bandster rules". Hope that helps!:mad:

I don't eat lamb....when I do, I seem to get wool in my teeth. *sheepish grinz* (get it?? sheepish!!!! LMAO!) Okay...okay....no worries...off to work now; I'll leave ya to it!

Lol Lol Lol

Thanks wheezy...hey....that rhymes with cheezy!!! I used to pretend I was Bobby Orr when I was little!!

Okay...anyone else on the Canuck thread finding it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER DUPPPPPPPPPPER slow??????? (I don't mean activity wise, I mean technially wise).... grrrrrr!!!!:angry

how 'bout a lamb???!!!! *snicker snicker*

oh no waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay man...NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING can stoop to as low a level as Argon's thread on the ol' poop shoot!!!! (not in the Canuck forum but in one of the general ones). You DO NOT want to go to THAT one let me tell ya. The photos gave me night terrors for weeks on end!!!!! *nods* you know what I'm talking about Argon!!!!! AVOID all poop shoot related threads (of course they were referred to as "colon cleansing")... eeeeeeeeeew I get the jitters just thinking about those pics. BLECH..; :omg: :omg:

Paula if you have a 4cc band (vice 10cc) you had a good first fill!!!! Don't get mixed up with the ccs!!!! LOL I can just see you asking for 5ccs in a 4cc band!!! LOL

WOw...okay, I guess I'm the last to find out about all the hooopola that has gone on. Hmmmm I guess that is why I shall just continue to stick to the nice peaceful Canuck thread...I'm glad I avoided all this mess.

I'm finding it better now too. Neenagh...the last 2 weekends there were probs.....(technical) with the site....it wasn't normal; so you should be okay generally on wknds. Pooooor cloe....dial up??!!!!!

Oh, I can see it now...your cup will be half full; Dan will be driving the car and he'll feel a tad bit dry and reach for a sip of your "leftover" drink and swallow some of your sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! It's all fun & games until someone drinks some slime!!!! (psssst, the car wasn't movin' it was stopped at a light...but I guess it was a wee bit windy ou!!). :biggrin1:

GOOD LUCK NEENAGH!!! See ya on the other side!!! :gluck: :gluck: :gluck: be sure to let us know how you are once you are back home and doin' okay!

...send some of them crunchies my way Wheezy....I'll help ya!!! :hungry:

Hey chickie....nice to see you back; I did notice your absence! Hey...it's good to take the "higher ground"; I hear ya there...I had to do it a few times myself....I still check in sometimes but the vast majority of my LBT time is spent now on the Canadian thread (for reasons you'll understand!). Great to hear your bizness is doin' sooooo GREAT!!!! *cheers*

Well done Cloe!!!! YEEEEESH.....ya make ONE spelling error (oversight) and the whole world has gotta let ya know!!!!!! *smacks Mandi upside the hEad!!! :biggrin1: :)

yeah....come to think of it....where IS Buffie???? Yooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooo........

Loreily: mebbe ur just a slow learner??!!! LOL just joshin'!!! Maybe you just have good restriction....it is actually good to have a signal like that if it works for ya!!!! If u feel u have't eaten enough...if you wait a bit...does it go away and then are you able to eat a bit more?
