Pie Hole is much better than yesterday....... Coffee w/creamer 30 oz of water 2 slices of bbq briskett Starting my 2nd 30 oz's of water (I'm full full full, but not pb'ng from the briskett) After this glass of water I'm going to treat myself to a glass of hot tea with splenda

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved her! So many great transformations!!! PHIL looked totally different! and Jerry.. well he made me tear up! drinking my first glass of water, and so far I've had nothing to eat....... guess my band does still work! LOL

Good morning! Laura you are so creative!!! LOVE the wall hangings. :smile2: Terry you are so beautiful! Tracy: LOL!!!!!!!!!!! no coladas today OK? (and no cheesecake for me) Haydee: You and your chubby cheeks boytoy make such a cute couple.... and gawd that hair... I LOVE IT. Pam: WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! go girl! We had spaghetti last night.. (they had spaghetti, I had brisket) Jenn and Jane I hope you get to feeling better. Kat: My heart goes out to Kinsey... a sucky situation. Suzie: It looks like lunch tomorrow is off, since an ice storm is supposed to hit! bummer Judy: How is the new snow blower??? Did you get the fudge boxed up? Michelle: what are you fixing today? I talked to my mom last night and she had a much much better day. She was able to eat some tomatoe soup and that made her extremely happy. She just emailed me asking about my first fill. My step dad has lost a total of 10 lbs this week! Since going to Denver!!!!!! he is now down 80 lbs doing low carb.........

I'm so on the fence about a fill......... after being too tight to too long.... it's kind of cool to be able to eat, but that thought process also scares me... I just need to make the RIGHT choices.

ohhhhhhhh I don't feel well........... I think I'm in a cheesecake coma. Seriously I think I have the shakes... maybe I'll get lucky and get the runs! :thumbup:

oh and while I'm stuffing my face... a lady comes over to me and tells me how pretty I look today. She said she saw me accross the room and was struck by how pretty I looked today....... also, the two people who know I'm banded looked at me and my plate... and I just winked...... GET ME A FILL!!!!!!!

OMG OMG.............. two pieces of cheesecake..... am I a dumbass or what????????? Seriously........ get this I had NOTHING off the buffet on my plate except some Pork Loin....... ate it too fast, rushed to the bathroom... pb'd it all... and what did I do??????? ATE half the first piece of cheesecake....... but lo and behold the pork loin wasn't all gone yet....... so pb #2 out came the rest of the pork loin and the chocolate cheesecake with cookie crust......... the nuns were still singing....... so I sipped my coffee and smiled.........and ate the rest of my chocolate cheesecake.......... another sister started playing a maramba or something... and they brought out a MINT CHOCHOLATE cheesecake........... and I said what the hay and had a piece of it too............ IS IT ANY WONDER HOW I BALOON to 280 in a blink of an eye??? LOrd.............. but the upside....... that is all I've eaten today! (yes, this is me justifying my dumbass)

LOL Heather! 30 minutes until Christmas lunch........ I've heard the menu is stuffed pork loin, or stuffed chicken....... and cheesecake....... Guess, if I was smart I'd go drink a bunch of water BEFORE lunch!

I guess it would be less sugar than fudge........ but OMG YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I might have to try it though) and this is coming from a person who has attempted to make EVERYTHING out of pork rinds!!!!!!!!!!!!

I slid into work as it is snowing......... boys school is still IN session and today is the annual Christmas luncheon. Last night we had to go to Nebraska furniture mart and buy a new dryer as my old one shot craps........ It was 18 years old so I think I got my $250.00 out of it! :blushing: My ss gift is scheduled to arrive 12/24........ so you'll have to wait.. nanner nanner nanner. I did have bbq brisket for dinner and a couple bites of mac and cheese. Today so far all I've had is coffee....... but luncheon day is usually topped off with cheesecake! 184 today.. Suzie: I LOVE YOUR SIGNATURE!!! too funny! My mom is bellyaching about her recovery....... she is in the "what the hell have I done to myself stage" I told her it was normal...... oh boy I can't wait til she starts losing.....

Pie Hole report: coffee w/creamer various pieces of cheese drink of milk (to take meds) chex turtle bar.... disguised as a granola bar out to lunch with boss...... baked potatoe soup 3 pcs of candy out of the jar in the next office mug of hot coco not sf. as you can tell I am sucking in the LOW CARB department today!!!!!!!!!!!! I made a brisket for dinner.. it baked all night in the oven and is currently in the fridge waiting for me to slice it.

COLD COLD COLD........... did I say COLD!!! 4 degrees Robby is doing better although he is still having 1 meltdown a day....... he did it over the weekend too, and I think it may be tied to him being hungry but NOT being hungry. The dr was concerned because he lost 4 lbs, and although he is not skin and bones to begin with he can't continue to lose....... I think the teachers are glad, but we are still working on the after school issue, because he is coming down at that time and it gets ugly some days. I try to leave work early enough to get him before he can get kicked out..... I weighed... blech...... 187... time for water water water Denise I meant to say I LOVE YOUR PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laura: I love the feeling of kicking and rolling babies in the belly.. it is freaky. Everyone have a great day

Good evening! Suzie didn't mention that she and I sat next to each other yesterday at the support meeting!!!! We are having lunch this Thursday too! Robby was with me at the meeting, and I am proud to say he was a PERFECT angel!!!!!! (total shocker) he quietly colored for TWO HOURS without getting up and interupting the meeting........ yes he was medicated... he has a bad time around 1p so i'm not sure how we can fix it..... Also, I am not proud of what I've consumed this weekend........ white russians are so fattening.... why is that? Milk, Vodka, Kalua.. gotta be the calories from the milk and the Kalua...... but I guess I got my protein in right?????? Anyway..... changing subjects. Mom is home, she is a little upset because she only lost 1 pound.... HAS SHE NOT BEEN LISTENING AT ALL TO ME???? I went into the you are healing from surgery, anything you lose in the first 5 weeks is a bonus! yada yada yada.... my step dad on the other hand lost 5 pounds while in Denver! LOL MEN!!! that means he's lost 75 just by low carbing it! It got cold cold here and now its snowing...... This morning when I put the dog out it was 60 degrees... by 9:00 a.m. I was rushing around having Robby help me clean up the yard and put stuff (bikes, grill, etc) in the garage and whooooooooosh........ the front came in and the temp dropped and has been dropping ever since... Loved the text Laura! OK.. I'm heading off to bed...

You are just in a stall/plateau......... pick ONE thing and change it up... either a different exercise or a different diet...... like if you are doing Low Fat, switch to Low Carb or vice/versa.......

Just talked to my step dad.. mom had a rough night and was up most of it. Her back is hurting and in the hotel room there isn't a recliner. They see the doc at 10:30 a.m. luckily they don't fly home until tomorrow, so she has another day of recouping before she has to go to the airport....... I will feel really bad if she has problems as I feel responsible......... Laura: love the video!!!! cute cute cute

GOOD MORNING! I love that sweater Suzie! the fiberone poptart exchange was so funny!!! MOM got out of surgery and recovery later than I thought she was still groggy last night so I'm waiting til mid morning before I call them to check on her. Her liver was fine and everything looked good! YAY!

I think it depends on the surgeon. I would Call them first before driving..... but good luck!!!! There used to be a pretty active thread on here for Low BMI bansters.

Congrats to you and your sister!!!!! HOW EXCITING! My mom is currently IN SURGERY in Denver getting her band.. RIGHT NOW! which is why I'm perusing the general forumn! I have an extended family member who went to Mexico for his band and he's had one fill so far! He said the hospital was as nice as a 5 star hotel. GOOD LUCK!

First of all............ READ READ READ.... Second.. your band has NOT BEEN TURNED ON YET! You will need to get fills for that to happen and for you to feel restriction. Third.... the first 5 weeks is meant to HEAL THAT PUPPY INTO PLACE... be easy on it, follow the food progression of clears to mushies, any weight you lose in this healing period is a bonus! Fourth... When the swelling from surgery goes down and your hunger returns AND you haven't had a fill.... you are in what we call "BANDSTER HELL" be patient, and follow up with your fills!

I would say in the states you do not qualify, but you would possibly qualify other countries as a LOW BMI bandster... (do a search for Low BMI bandsters and you will get feedback) I'm closing in on my 2 year bandversary and I would be REBANDED in a heartbeat if needed.

I am going NUTZ waiting for my step dad to call with the news!!!!!! 60 oz if water is gone! getting ready for my next 30

PAM: I'm putting mine on my keyring :wink: MOM IS SCHEDULED for SURGERY IN 8 minutes!!!!!!!!!! I've done good today on eating..... 2 pc string cheese 1 pc deli turkey 1 cup of chili 1 sf pudding 1 glass of water (getting ready to fill again)

HIYA Heather! Thanks JUDY!!! I'm going to the bathroom to look at my throat because I it did start hurting all of a sudden and hasn't quit.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Welcome Carson! My moms name is Linda.. I just talked to her she is supposed to check in the hospital in 40 minutes! My throat is really scratchy....... how do I tell if I am coming down with Strep??
