Back off Cloe, or you might get some too!!!! Wheezy, he can so tell you're just making up things to go see him! Thats soooo pathetic! btw, feeling the fill now, had a major pb last night on chicken. Can only manage about half the food i could before the fill! YAY!!!! Seriously wheezy good luck at your appt. Cant get my oct challenge ticker to work, but i'm down 4 lbs towards the 10.

I couldnt find them, so i didnt put them in, maybe they are something american?

found it Mandi! my whole family loved it! Okay, so I'm not the biggest fan of chili, but I made some awesome turkey chili last night. And it was really easy too. My hubby ate it with cornbread ( I was so jealous!!!) But I topped it with shredded fat free cheddar and monterey jack and a dollop of fat free sour cream. Take 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey and 1 chopped onion and brown in pan with about a teaspoon oil. Drain the excess fat and put in a large crock pot. Add two large cans (32 oz maybe?) of chopped tomatoes, 1 ~ 16 oz can of tomato sauce, 2 ~ 16 oz cans of red kidney beans, 1 ~ 16 oz can of black beans, 1 ~ 16 oz can of pinto beans, 1 ~16 oz can of butter beans and two packets of chili seasoning, like Lawry's or similar brand. Stir the ingredients and put the lid on the crock pot and either set it to low for 7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. That's it!! It made enough for me to freeze several containers of it. __________________

didnt mention you once na na a boo boo! as my grandson would say!

Hi Mandi, wow look how big your eyes look now! and your great bone structure! I made chili on the weekend in my slow cooker, got the recipe on here somewhere, it was fabulous! will try to find the recipe for you.

I got my sister to hold my hand. Thank god they do it lying down. i'm scared spitless of needles, and i broke out in a cold sweat and got naseuos. Doc found this amusing and tryed to get me to look at it sticking out of lmy belly. I refused.

Well I went for my fill. he put in 1cc. I hated it, it was big needle, and I FELT IT! I can't tell if i have any more restriction yet. But The best part was that he was really pleased with my weightloss so far, and said I was a star patient and his hero!!! :confused: I think im in lurve! He also told me something I hadn't heard before...the fill isn't supposed to make u eat less, or pb or be uncomforatable, it's supposed to keep the food in your pouch longer so u feeling satisfied for longer. Soooo, he said how to tell when u need a fill, is when you start getting hungry sooner after youve eaten, you should stay satisfied for 3 -4 hours. if youre getting hungry faster than that, you need a fill!

hmmmm restriction, or true love?hmmmm......

Sending vibrators, i mean vibes mandi's way>>>>>>>>c'mon 70 lbs!

YOU FLOOZY, HE'S MINE! MINE I SAY!

I wonder if there will be many posts. I dont see much action there yet!

Hey wheezy, i cant help feeling a bit discouraged too. I really thought that the weight would be coming off in a steady way. I feel like i paid an awful lot of my dh's money to lose 20 lousy lbs. re your fill, i have read here that sometimes it takes a few days to kick in, maybe that will happen for you?

oooh lila, i'm sorry! it's over now, just don't do it AGAIN!

Try priceline.com. I used it and got a hotel near my clinic (Dr. mumford, not yours) I bid $35 a night, and was quite please with the clean modern hotel it got (ho jo's). hope this helps

Thanks Mandi! I'll go take a look!

HI yoda, i'm so glad dad in law is doing better. It's frustrating not to get a compliment now and again for all your hard work eh? I wonder if pple are completely oblivious or what?

Well i officially ate too much! i had a pain like a cement block in my chest but i still havent slimed. I'm terrified to go to fitday and assess the damage!

Wow thanks for all the good info! I was confused about the 3/4 cup business too. Wheezy, i think it sucks tho that he didnt give you a pat on the back for LOSING 18 LBS!!!

Thank god you bought some new pants before the world saw your black leather thong!!!

Wow argon, that must be a great feeling! i can't wait to get there. Why are you holding out for new pants tho? treat yourself!!you deserve a reward.

Wow thanks for all the details of your fill wheezy, tho the part about him poking you 4 times doesnt sound too pleasant! do you know if he gives everyone 1cc in a 4cc band to start? ps. was he pleased with your weightloss so far?

Sorry about your father in law yoda, hope all goes well. Congrats on the 50 lb mark!!!

MUST GET A FILL, NEED A FILL, MUST SURVIVE ONE MORE WEEK WITHOUT FILL!

forget the mint tea! my mom always said a slug of gin would do the trick!
