Girlfriend you look MARVELOUS!!!! And the sex thing I say you go girl, I know Bri is in seventh heaven!!!! LOL Call me sometime I lost your number during my Blackberry Crash!!

Congratulations Christine, I bet it's a good feeling!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!! Called you last week, i know you have been busy. I lost all my contacts on my Blackberry so please email me all you phone and email adresses. Heather, it's ok to cheat sometimes, I doubt any of can say we haven't cheated! Like Tina said , do it in moderation. Hi Riley, Candy, Candra, Nicole Tina and Pam. Hope all you ladies are doing well. Well I start mushies tomorrow. Please share some recipes because I'm not sure how I'm going to swallow the mushy food. I feel like staying on stage two for a bit but I have to move forward HELP!!!! Wishing you all a good evening!

Thanks Rosey, I would have loved to meet you as well. It's not too late. Thanks for the advice, I think sometimes we get in the frame of mind that now that the band is on one should drop weight easily. It's good to know that that painful hunger pain is normal. I thought for a moment that my band ay have slipped or leak LOL. Yes I am having a mental breakdown, needless to say I dreamt of food last night LOL. Thanks again.

Candra, the shoulder pain is from the gas supposedly but it is a bit uncomfortable.BTW no question is stupid my dear :-). About your protein first for now eat as you want and gradually practice the protein first thing. If the eggs are stir fried i suppose its okay. Okay, so I woke up and i have gained weight I haven't cheated and pretty much stuck to the plan. Can someone please reason with me, because I am going nuts. I' already having qualms about getting the band. ALSO do any of you get a hunger pain after you eat?? I' experiencing this! Please Help!!

Tina you are so funny! saw your pics pretty nice!

OMG Tina, this guy sounds like a psycho. Make sure that you tell someone about hs foolish advances and also stay clear of him as much as possible. If he needs to communicate with you he should use emal this way you have a paper trail and cover our a.... I think Candy is offer is also great , the bastard needs schooling! Men, I can make his life a miserable hell! Girl we have psych backgrounds use your skills on him lol. You will be fine, when does he retire?:wink:

Hi Riley,I'm doing better, trying to recoup. I am however hating eating clam chowder everyday. I'm not sure if mushies will be any better. I'm ready for solids lol. My scale is still moving so that's good.Tell Melinda thanks for asking about us and that it was a pleasure meeting her. I'm sorry your food got stuck!! I hope you feeling better . Was it because you didn't chew well? Sheena I'm glad you are doing ok. Girl I know about that stupid shoulder pain, I felt like cutting my whole arm off. The good news is that the pain does subside. Can't wait to see you again along with all the gang here. When is our next luncheon? Tina I wish I was available to go the movies with it did sound lke a good idea. Candy darling all will be well. The scale can be a nightmare, I'm sure that you will be fine. I'm sure we will all go through this phase.

Thanks Riley I learn from the best (you all) :smile:

Sheena you brave girl, you did it!!! Wow I am happy for you. Hope all is well. Tina- I wanted to know if I can lemon in my water and Riley said yes. I'm having a hard time downing straight h2o. Tina you are so funny. I wanted to call an calm you down yesterday but didn't have your number lol. You are so going to be fine. How do I get to your album? Riley you are a "mean excercising Diva" you go:thumbup:! I think you body is burning more that you are taking in and sometimes I heard the body holds on to the little it's got and can retard weightloss. I hope I have your energy to do half of what you are doing. Chris- How is it going haven't seen you much here!

Tina you look so cute and thin in your new pic. I'm sorry you are having a hard time with the food issues. I really truly believe you will be fine and yes you will get a fill. Nicole did you talk to Sheena today? I thought I read something in her post saying that she has postponed her surgery because her son broke his thigh bone. Well I hope she is n surgery and dong well.....Please keep us posted. Riley, thanks, I will put a little in my water.

Hi Bandsters, Can you tell me if we can put some lemon juice n or water or not? Hi Maria Welcome!

Hi Jes, Thanks, it's good to be banded. Yes Dr.Park is my surgeon, she is pretty mellow, quick not much of a talker but answers all your questions. I think dr. Baggs maybe a lot more entertaining as read and hear. I like Dr. Park.

Candy and Tina thanks for the affirmation because I thought I was going bunkers.I'm glad I'm normal. Gasx makes me nauseous My husband bought cinnamon flavor. Tina the nal thing will be fine once you get the nutrients under control. Are you taking your vitamins?

Tina six weeks without diet coke is a milestone, you can kick this I used to drink soda instead of water for years and I was able to kick the habit. Now soda tastes so nasty to my needless to say that I may never again have it.

Thanks Tina!! I hate sound like I'm totally whinning but did you experience any pain/discomfort in betweenyour left shoulder?

Hi Ladies, I need a quick response please, what should be the consistency of the Cream of Wheat??

Hi Ladies Hope everyone is doing well. Just checking in. Candy my port incision is poking out as well. I plan on using aloe vera hen they heal because I can get colloid. Well this is gross but I have been experiencing diarrhea since yesterday so I can't say i understand being constipated. My stomach is rejecting the cream of chicken soup, so I will be trying clam chowder today. Please pass on any stage II recipes that you may all have. Also I realized that cold water ad cold stuff i out for me for now I am actually drinking warm-hot water wow. Nicole I'm glad things went ok with the in laws. You really do look great! Candra, keep up the good work you will be there in no time. Sheena: You are in my thoughts, may the Good Lord be with you through this incredible life change.

Tina, you will be fine, don't worry about the scale so much it appears ou are losing inches. One thing you can do is evaluate the amount of carbs that you are taking in, Tofu does have carbs and so does beans. So it's either you are not getting enough protein or you are getting more carbs than you think. Hey, I 'm no expert but it helps to look at other factors. Don't woory about Robin, hopefully she'll help you solve some of this mystery.

Hello Divas, Ok so I am feeling a whole lot better today. Riley thanks for your prayers and good thoughts, for a moment I was feeling like what the hell have I done LOL. Well until I got on the scale this morning and it read 290.5, good grief! I know the larger you the more you loose so hope this continues. The gas continues to be a nightmare. I am walking and sipping. Riley, yes the applesauce bit is not good for me, when I ate the cream of chicken felt much better. I will try the applesauce again because one can only live on cream of chicken for so long.. Candy yes 1/4 c of applesauce felt really like a bucket, so I am with you on that. It's interesting how we all having different reaction to certain foods. Chris I hope all s well with you. Nicole congratulations on your scale moving again. I will try and ake it on Tuesday if not I will make it to the next outing. It's good to be back on here feeling better.

tried Nic, still not working. I was able to get the URL but it keeps giving me an invalid File message.
