tamra.

All I can say is I have had so much guacamole today it's not even funny LOL and a small frozen yogurt ;X tomorrow is my new day, and I WILL BE STARTING STAGE 3 OVER AGAIN!!!! Chunky soups pureed, water, and walking!!! LETS GO SAINTS!!!

and side note my scale wont move from 237. LOL

Cute pictures everyone!! Looks like you all had fun! Pat you do look GREAT!! John your a cutie! hahahaha!

Tina ~ I tried Lovely Bones, I couldn't get into it, to strange.

Lee ~ Awh man I thought it was real! ;( LOL oh well, it was still good!

OMG thats too funny! I dont have a certain type, I usually read whatever someone gives me and tells me they liked it. One really good book I recently read was "Million little pieces" which is a true story about a young man who over comes the worse addictions, etc. It was so amazing.

Thanks Lee! I got your PM also, thank you :thumbup: Anything good on TV? I don't have any good books right now, I ordered a new one last night on Amazon. I just have been reading my Bay Area Parent magazine and seeing what kinda fun stuff I can get the babe into this week!

have fun everyone!! Lee, I am here if you are, staying home with the baby. Candra leave me alone LOL! I just tend to do things more local, my daughter is on a set sched., and is in bed by 830 every single night. I have had her on it for a while, so I ususally miss stuff :thumbup: its okay! If I came she would be all thrown off, plus shes still on Amoxacillin. I did decent today, had a coffee, but I walked the mall twice wth my friend and her daughter (Mine was with my mom). Breakfast: 1/2 cup "Broccoli/Potato/Cheese" soup pureed 1 tall skinny decaf latte Lunch: Mashed Potatoes from KFC (I was starving and couldn't make it home) Dinner: will be the remaining 1/2 cup of soup from breakfast.

Okay soooo SOMEONE STOP ME!! This is SO HORRIBLE having TOM with a brand new lapband!!! Let me tell you what this friend has let me get down today: BREAKFAST: 1/2 cup mashed potatoes SNACK: Medium Sugar Free Decaf Vanilla Latte SNACK: 1 bite of a curly fry LUNCH: 1/2 cup mashed potatoes SNACK: I ate about 6-7 of Brianna's Wendy's fries!! DINNER: 1/2 stew meat mixed with the rest of the mashed potatoes and beef broth for dinner. Was alot of chewing involved, but got it down SNACK: a hand ful of soft potatoes I made for my ex. YES THIS IS JUST TODAY!!!!! I AM ADDICTED TO POTATOES!!!!! I did manage 68 oz of water so far tho. and yeah side note, BACK ON TRACK TOMORROW OMG WHAT AM I DOING TO MYSELF!! I think the MASHED POTATOES are the trigger here, because without them I was NOT doing this!!!!! so they are GONE. :thumbup:

Be happy you have lost that much! I was banded 1.20.2010. My dr made me loose 35 lbs BEFORE they would band me. Since then, I have only lost 9.5 lbs with the band. It takes time, and lots of dedication. You will get there!

Just stopping by Pat I won't be there tomorrow, I cant make the trip out to SAC at this time, it's just alittle to far. I tend to stick to group meetings and things close to home I hope you all have fun tho!

I really hope they don't take away SSI to elderly, that's un excuseable, esp. when its the ONLY WAY my parents and lot's of others are surviving right now.

Heather ~ Sorry about the boots but if you want cute knee high ones, www.torrid.com. Thats where I buy mine, and my calfs are HUGE. They carry wider shoes and boots.....check it out, you can get addicted and I promise they will fit no matter what.

Morning everyone! I hate when the site goes down, I had to text Candra to finish my convo lol! So this morning I am up 3 lbs, says 240 on my scale. I am so mad! wtf? I guess its a combo maybe of me not drinking 64 oz of water a day, two hot dog chunks, a bowl of doritos cheese sucked off...and a bite of fry! I have a feeling I need to slow the mashed potatoes down for sure, because carbs like I said are not my friend. I am waiting for my Alhambra water to be delivered I am so thirsty and we are 100% out... I think my body likes when I DONT EAT, thats when I seem to loose...that or I just started getting alittle too happy once I realized my band isnt very restricting. I still want to be 230 by next Friday, but man I may be pushing it......sigh.

Candra I am only on day 2 of pureed foods...I am living off mashd potatoes right now which make me nervous, I have a feeling the carbs will get me. As for my outfit, knee high boots, a small ass black skirt, and some shirt that is low cut on the boobs, and open in the back.........LOL

Thaks Tina and Candra...I never did ask what I have right now, it must not be a lot cause I feel like I could eat a burger and fries!

I see Baggs March 4th I believe, how much do I need to be down for a fill?

Dang I think my post got lost back a few pages...all of a sudden everyone posted at once... John I will put my name in sig for you.

How much the gas pains hurt...LOL

LOL Cindy I have a pool here too (I guess it's a Concord thing). I seriously have lived in these condos over 4 years and have been in it under 5 times. Pat ~ I am in the same boat. I don't feel full off 1/2 cups 3 times a day and NOW on stage 3, I am MORE HUNGRY. its horrible.... So today is my TOM cheat day apparently because I decided to sit with a bowl of nacho cheese doritos, and sucked all the flavor off each chip...yes, i did. How horrible is that? I didn't get any walking in either. Sooooo tomorrow for me is a NEW DAY!!! 3 meals only, 1/2 cup and aiming for 20 mins of walking. wish me luck. I really want to be 230 by next Friday. I am going to Tahoe for a night Feb 27th, and I am worried about how and what I will eat!

Hi all just stopping bye to say hello!! nibbled on food the first time today ;X this puree stage is NOT FUN. Breakfast - 1/2 cup mashed potatoes nibble one - 2 small slices of Babys hotdog...went down with no issue nibble two - tip off a french fry LOL thats it.....otherwise downing some water. not gonna nibble anymore, as i wanna be 230 by next friday. lunch will be 1/2 cup mashed potatoes again, which kinda sucks, carbs are NOT my friends, so I am wondering how this will effect me?
