Another good idea! I set that goal right after my banding. I had some restriction then and thought WOW, this is going to be so easy! But, now, I am no longer on my pain meds. and am thinking more realistically!! WHAT WAS I THINKING!!! That's why I choose this type of surgery, I do honestly believe that slower is better!! And your right, every time I look at my signature, I remember that I did not make that goal!! SO AWAY WITH IT!!! Thanks for bring it to my attention!!

Sure I would love to!! I just hope you have better luck with them than I did! If they work out for you, tell me what you did to them so I can try again! 2 T. oil ( I used EVOO ) 1 chopped onion, and 1 chopped clove of garlic, cook until soft, then add 3 chopped green onion, 3/4 c chopped mushrooms, cook until mushrooms are done. 1 15oz. can pinto beans, drained and mashed, 1 t. parsley, 1/2 t. cumin, salt and pepper. Mix all this in a bowl, form pattys and fry in a small amount of oil, 3 min. on each side. I found this by googling veggie burger on google, it looked like there was some good recipes. Let me know how they turn out!

Thanks, Indiogirl, for the advice! I guess I was feeling a little down this a.m., but what you said makes sense. I do have a great family, but they have seen me struggle for years over my weight, going up and down. And I know in the back of their minds, they're probably thinking" wonder how long this diet is going to last?" I am so thankful that I have a great support group on LBT. I am a part of the Bunny Bandsters and they are a great bunch of people! So I go there a lot to get my encouragement, and now I have you guys! Sometimes I get on here and just read, and that helps alot! Especially when I read about someone losing 125 pds. and hoping to be able to wear a size10 and getting into a size2!! That is just awesome!!! That tells me I can do the same thing!! Again Thanks for all you guys are doing!!!!!

Most of my family (other than folks) have not seen me since last summer, so they were all shocked to see me! 57 lbs is 57 lbs. I do have a bitch of a SIL who does not believe in WLS and walked to the other room as we were talking about it. She is ex army lt. colonel and is rigid in all her life. 0600 exercise 0630 shit 0635 eat.... anyway. She showed her true colors this visit, never said a word about how i looked, never asked me how the surgery went, NOTHING. ANd better yet, she is a women's health nurse practitioner!!! Good Morning All !! Just found this thread and have been reading some of the posts, I think I'll be coming back as often as I can! Sounds like you guys are a great group of people! I copied a piece of a post and wanted to make a comment about what has been going on in my life. I had my LB surgery 04/06/09 and I chose not to tell my co-workers, b/c of the neg. comments and that I just did not want to deal with the constant stares, comments, and I know what they say about other people that have had the w/l surgery. I did tell my family and my church family found out by accident, I go to a small church. O.k., this is what I have been noticing, I am getting NO support from my family and NO support from my church family!! But, I'm getting all kinds of compliments from my co-workers!! Now I'm not the type of person that "needs" constant recognition, if fact I get a little uncomfortable when people say something about my w/l !! But it would be nice for my family to say something nice to me about how much weight I've lost ! I've tried to tell them that even though I've got the band, it is still up to me to lose the weight !! The band is nothing like the gastric, we do have to WORK at losing the weight!! I just feel like they think I've taken the easy way out! Well, thanks for letting me get that off my chest!! Take care and talk to ya later!!

It is now been 2 months since my surgery and everything is going o.k. I haven't lost a big amount of weight but I knew when I started this journey, that this is the way LB works. As long as I lose, no matter how small the loss, I will be o.k. with that. I have lost 34 pds. and you know,really that is a pretty good start! But I think that the most important thing is that I'm learning some things on this journey. I have learned that I can make good food choices, even when I eat out, I have been trying new foods and you know what, they're not that bad! (Example) I'm from the South and as you might know, we fry EVERYTHING down here, I have learned grilled or baked fish isn't bad at all! I have learned, also, that I don't have to have something sweet to eat!! I still eat something sweet every now and then, but I don't go overboard with it! I have learned how to eat without bread, although to be honest with you, I still have a problem with hush puppies! So I don't make them too often! But, all in all, this has been a learning experience for me and as long as I'm losing, I going to enjoy all the compliments and the cloths that I can,finally, wear AGAIN!! :sad:

Hey, you guys!! I have to tell you what I done tonight! I have been wanting to try out new recipes and I found one for veggie burgers. It called for mashed beans,chopped mushrooms, onions, garlic and cumin, salt and pepper. Well I didn't have any beans but I did have fat-free re fried beans so I used them. You were supposed to be able to form a patty and cook them 3 min. each side but ,I guess because I used re fried beans instead of mashed beans, it was to thin, so I thought that my veggie burgers would just have to be a dip! So I had some FF flour tortillas, I cut them up in quarters, sprinkled lime juice on them, just a little bit of salt, put them in the oven,at 350* for maybe 15 min. and wala, FF chips!!! They were so good and crispy!! I have been missing crunchy chips and I think I've found what I've been looking for!! So now I'm thinking, what if I could take some different kinds of marinades, spray them on the FF tortillas and have different flavors!! Try them and let me know what you guys think!

It is now been 2 months since my surgery and everything is going o.k. I haven't lost a big amount of weight but I knew when I started this journey, that this is the way LB works.

Happy Friday, everyone!! I stayed the same this wk., no loss but no gain! I'll be happy with that. I've been a little discouraged this wk. also but I just keep in mind of where I was 6 months ago, where I would be 6 monthe from now, if I had not had the LB and how far I have come since LB. The NSV's are really nice and they do encourage me when I'm feeling down. And ,you guys are all doing awesome, keep up the good work!! What is that saying, every journey starts with the first step!! And we have all taken the first step, SO KEEP ON STEPPEN!!!!

OMG!!!! I am soooo glad you brought this up cause I thought I was the only one in this whole wide world with this problem!! I, too, am the strong, silent type but now!! Have you ever heard the saying that you can't walk and chew gum at the same time? Well, sometimes I can't walk without sounding like a chainsaw or something!!! Thats when I start a conversation with who ever I'm with! And you NEVER know when it's going to happen!! Now thats scarey!!

Hey B_G, Hurray on your first fill!! Sounds like yours went really well!! Mine was really easy, too!! Although, I didn't have to do any acrobatic stunts, I just had to tighten my stomach muscles. He probably knew if he put me in that position, I wouldn't be able to walk out of that office!! I still have no restriction but I am able to eat only small amounts. I go back on July 2, for another fill so MAYBE then I will get some restriction!!

Thanks B_G and MT2BH !!! This is me just basking in the glory of the numbers !!!!! AAAHHHHHH !!!! :smile: :w00t:

Hey there, Tig!! Just read your blog and it sounds like you, Band_Groupie, and myself have been doing some inward soul-searching !! You need to read B_G blog, ride the magic band, it is really good!! She says some things that really brings things into perspective!! Hang in there!! You are doing AWESOME!!!

Good Morning! I agree with Minn Lady, I was banded on April 6 and don't regret one moment of it!! I have had one fill and get the next one in July. The weight has been slower coming off than the other surgery but it has been a healthier way of coming off! I also have sister that had the gastric and she, too, lost her husband, some of her family, almost died because she kept on smoking and developed an ulcer in her small stomach, now she is also drinking, and not mentioned how unhealthy she looks! It is all in how you use the band, you can eat around it or you can use it to help you get to where you want to be! The other surgery has rules also but I think they are more harsher!! You need to read a blog by BAND_GROUPIE, the name of the blog is " Ride the Magic Band ". She got the band in April and she is just now starting in her journey and has really put in words what we all are feeling. Keep me updated on how you are doing! And remember, the Dr. can not make the decision for you, follow your heart!!!

Ditto to all the comments on your blog!! You do have a way with words!! I have been a diet of some kind all my adult life and I don't know if it's my age( a YOUNG 56 ) but all those diets have gotten me no where but on my way to 250 pds!! And I'm only 5'2"!! I was always searching for the " perfect " diet!! And it was always the next best diet that would finally work for me! In recent years, everyone has been talking about lifestyle changes and that's the perfect solution! We have to get our heads fixed first before we can fix the rest of us!! It's like building a house ( my husband was a carpenter ) if you don't do the ground work and get a good foundation, everything will fall down! It all starts with the way we are thinking in our heads!! I have learned to take one day at a time!! Keep up the good work, you do inspire the rest of us!!

I remember my first ticket, I was 15 and living in Phoenix, Arizona. I don't remember what I was driving but I sure remember the cop that stopped me!! It was his first ticket to write, and his trainer had to tell him how to write it out!! He was as scared as I was !! The old car I was in didn't have turn signals so I had to stick out my arm, up for one direction, down for another and then straight out for something else!! I don't even remember those, but that's why I got pulled over, they couldn't see my arm!!! I just wonder if he cried as hard as I did?

Hey you guys !! Went for my first fill this wk. and it went better than I thought !! I have a fear of needles, no matter the size !! My blood pressure was even up and I never have high blood pressure !! He put 3cc's in and I hid my eyes so I couldn't see what was going to happen and I didn't feel a thing !! But I have no restriction so I still have to watch what I eat because I'm still hungry! I go back on July 2 and get another one so maybe it will get better !! Oh I almost forgot, I had to be on liquids for 2 days after the fill and then back on reg. foods.

Hey, guys!! Last wk., I was 205.5, this wk. 202 I lost 3.5 ### I had my first fill this wk. and was so nervous, my blood pressure was up!! But it honestly did not hurt!! I was so happy!!! He put in 3cc and he said I probably wouldn't fill much restiction and he was right! I have been really hungry all day! Just need to be careful and watch what I put in my mouth!!

OH MY GOD !!! You are TOOOOO funny!! My daughter bought a WII Fit and she has told me some of the things it does to you but I'll bet she does'nt know about the back-stabbing, tattle tail, breaking up the entire family unit MII !! I'm going to have to let her read your blog!!!
