you are 25 years old, i could have given birth to you, I am 48 . Yon have younger, better metabolism...and probably much higher breasts!!!lol well day 6 and eating my cottage cheese. I wish I had gotten on tract at that age. although I was to busy getting pregnant and gaining weight!

:Banane56: Okay get this and HELP me please cuz if its going to be like this I think I may prefer eating cheesies!! This is my fifth day pre-op. To embarrass myself I started this thing at 320 and I am almost 5'9". So not eating anything other than cottage cheese and yogurt is bead enough but hey, on third day the scale said 315..that was nice okay I thought . BUt, yesterday day four,,,nothing and today day five up 1 lb. How the heck does that work???? I mean I am not eating loads of this stuff anymore. I eat the cottage cheese for breakfast and lunch and then try to keep the yogurt for dinner...soooooo, I read how many of you have lost 15 - 20 lbs pre-op and I have an entire human being to lose,, sooooo how will that happen if all of a sudden my body is used to loads of food, then now this fairly good stuff and it doesn't want to lose much.??? Any pointers, cuz I am ready to reach for the NACHOS......:hungry: (well I won't but you know I feel like it.):phanvan

guess i am confused about the liver thing as my doc never hear do fit before and I know he is good..but what the hey! also as for yogurt, I am buyin gthe sillouette and 1 % cottage cheese.

Buffie,and how long before first fill were you eating? were you eating normally or able to tolerate food, Is that the time you have to chew forever before swallowing or after a first fill? thanks

Boohyah...lol Mandi, ya not many men....the half hour thing.......lol Yoda great goal and holy crow Buffie are you amazing or what!!!!

NOOOOOo to own fills, apparently thats when you then get into portal infection . Thats what nisreen told me at TBLC and honestly she knwos and said these peopel doing their own fills were nurses. Mandi hope it works out okay.

argon, when I can pass you..... it means I am dead and decomposing!

who's marie? I am scraed if Jude is only eating that and she is not losing weight. What the heck wil happen to me. Does one really want to live like this for zilcho weight loss? Also,hoefuly Jude are you premenstraul. THAT does it to me! Oh I went to the drive in last night, ( he wanted to go) and I did without eating popcorn( that is my biggest vice, I,love BUTTERED POPCORN and man that was hard, so i took my cottage cheese and yogurt, but couldn;t stay for second show. at that point geting late and I can eat all night so I came home and went to bed.

forget the ticker for once, glad you had fun, so tell me what did you have a tgi fridays and what is eating like after one gets banded?

ahhh but slow and steady wins the race

cloe how can I be proud when you guys have gone soo much further? i mean I still have ages to go and an entire human being to lose.

oh god mandi. NO I would never weigh in the evening..lol too depressing. Maybe now with the food choices and lack of BM's til now make a difference too. Thanks for your support I feel like I am whining, No one else sounds this whiny pre op. Wow I read Boo Boo Kitty and she is down like 20 lbs. Wow that is huge...but again she is much younger so it justs slides off your butt like butter when you are so young

hey mandi thanks for the BMI.... that was good , well for the info, not the amount, lol. Cloe 30 mins on treadmill wow at what speed etc? okay back to looking at the fridge.

hey guys thanks and I do not have REAl yes or no onthe diet pop thing. One of the docs says yes and one says no. Really I did not know about the crystal light and other drinks artificail sweetners and all the news re caffeine making you hungry so THANKYOU for that. I am trying to drink but find it hard. I am hungry today and it's day five. I thought it got easier after days three and four. I could eat this computer!

so stupid question then.....but does drinking water first BEFORE you eat help to fil your stomach,,pre op and also post. AND honestly what is the answer to after surgery you wait how long after you eat and how soon before you eat?

well those that don't have sex.............stay up and watch t.v!!!

so cloe what kind of exercise are you thinking of doing and how soon after do you think , after surgery is good? also how tall are you? How do we figure out our BMI?

hey cloe thanks for the support, I am frustrated though this morning with a pound up and sick of this already BUT I will keep at it. With that said, I only had one diet pepsi last night and i haven't been drinking loads of water BUT I have crystal light is that okay ?

how much water are we siupposed to drink? pre surgery and after ? can you drink lots aftre or does the water fill you up? I hope I sleep tonight without peeing like a dalmation, lol I woke up three times last night, thank god cuz i was dreaming about going pee and if I didn;t wake up........AaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mandy Thanks for your support, okay I am fine ith my challenge. I used to feel liek I was a weak person that I decided to have this surgery and Now I don't think so..aftre alll five - six weeks of not sheating and yogurt/cottage cheese ,and then clear fluids, full fluids and then pureed. So I am happy with that and I thank you for your support! Oh and I bet you're too young to know the Mandy tune, it made manilow famous!

hey dody thanks.. okay so its a diurectic,,,but how does this contribute to weight gain>> I find I am waking up now at night three times peeing...last two nights.. I didnt start drinking diet pepsi ( just one) til tonight. So not sure why. thanks

hey buffie sorry but catching up.....so before your first fil , you are eating normally? can one do this??

okay my goal stick to the preop diet and start to exercise three -five times a week ( starting monday) before surgery. Stick to post op diet........which will be hard, Is that okay???? and maybe one day figure out how to make a F 'ing ticker tape!!!!!

cloe 12 pounds to go til what? Is that an august goal? Ambitious

cloe your hilarious..and that poor banana taking it up the ol wazoo lol. I am on my fourth day ... and from 320 now 315....lol but hasn't moved for aday... I gotta stop getting weighed. I have bought lOADS of yogurt and cottage cheese. As fro the sex,, today nothing,,,lol, YET! How are you? where are you > And you are such and inspriation, Really great people here I am soo impressed and told Nisreen for TBLC to have a look at this website to see what folks are saying...lie Yoda who is great and gives super info too.
