Hi everybody! Please forgive me if I leave someone out...my brain misses food . G4E, glad to hear from you. You and your family are in my prayers :cursing:. Slim, sorry no NSV for you. I say try the booze. Maybe it's what your metabolism needs.:thumbup: KC, sorry about the tooth. I paid an endodontist quite handsomely for the pleasure of 2 root canals. Mine turned out okay though. Hope you don't have any pain. Get good drugs!

I agree on the Isopure Clear stuff - ick. For powdered, I like Isopure Vanilla and Matrix chocolate. With the vanilla, it says use 2 scoops. I found that using only one was a bit better-tasting. Of course, you get less Protein that way but I prefer using less. Someone posted a list of 200 Protein shakes on here: www.freeproteinshakerecipes.com. There were tons of different combos. I'd think vanilla or unflavored would be a safe bet. You can just change it up! Good luck! And unjury offers single-serve packets...great way to try it out before buying a huge container. Hope this helps! TPG

Hi Stacy! Welcome. You really sound like you're ready for this challenge. That's great. It so wonderful that you're concerned about your little girl's eating habits too. I don't mean to sound critical but please be careful with things like apples and popcorn. Small children have a hard time chewing them. I knew someone whose daughter choked - but she's fine! But I worry. Sorry! Not really my business..... Anyway, this is a great forum. You'll find lots of help and support here. Best of luck to you! :biggrin: TPG

Sorry, I really don't know. My surgery is next week - I can only tell you non-band stuff . Hopefully someone else will answer you. How long ago did you eat the Cheetos? If it was more than a couple hours, they've probably dissolved by now. If you're tired and ready to go to bed, you should give it a try. Maybe you'll drift off and feel better in the morning. Again, hopefully a banded person will answer you soon. Sorry I'm not more help. Hang in there! :biggrin: TPG

I <heart> Cheetos!

Glad you're feeling better. I like the new avi too! TPG

Phew, dodged a bullet there! That IS included in my 5 grand.

Gee, you're one to talk. I heard your doc did your band in a LaZBoy. At least mine has fake leather. Faux suede - ewww, how tacky for you.

Well, I had a fun day. I dropped off a $5000 check at my surgeon's office. Now, I may be a bit sensitive 'cause I'm getting banded soon, but...I swear I heard the receptionist say it was great that I came by. Now they could actually afford to turn the instrument sterilizer thingy on again. Should I be concerned? Then, I went grocery shopping. With my dad. He rode in one of those motorized carts. We have been asked not to return to that store or any others in their chain. Again, should I be concerned?

I changed it just for you!

Diet Coke, when consumed with ANYTHING, will cancel out all calories. As for liver, who would even eat that?? Ewww. Diet Coke is also a great douche but only the kind in the bottle. Cans - oh, no way, baby. Aluminum will destroy your band. I read that in my pre-op instructional booklet that I have laminated and will keep for all of eternity. Or until I am forced to switch to the sleeve.

Ouch on the tooth. That sucks. Since I'm doing clears, I think I'll just go straight tequila. Juice would just add those totally un-needed, pesky vitamins.

Wahooo, I now have a valid explanation for my bitchy self these past 10 years!! Ha, I KNEW it couldn't be my fault.

I felt flemish once. But I coughed a whole bunch and got rid of it.

Okay, the pancake thing is good but I'll raise you an entire b'day cake and a dip in the chocolate fountain...

If you HAVE to ask these questions, you are so not ready for a band. This was covered in your pre-op instructions. Tsk, tsk.

I'll see your double-double and raise you an XL pepperoni pizza and an order of hot wings....

I'm gonna get my band, stop for a Whopper, come home and jump in the pool. Don't worry though. I'm gonna eat the chicken strips when I get out. I know, I know. It's all about protein. Right??? Is that right? I hope somebody answers. Soon. Right???

Oooh, I'm finding that visual strangely erotic. Damned liquid diet.

Honey, I'm just so freakingly jealous of those mushrooms.... I bought a lemon tree (the whole, huge tree...not some dinky plant) and well, nada. Just what kind of water and plant food did you use??!?!

Okay, do something really stooopid. Then post that activity on the boards. Ask for support. Beg people to respond. Post again until you get 22 other idiots who agree with your stoooopidity. Hello new Thread.

That is enough about the juicy BMs. I start liquids tomorrow! That is just plain rude and not very supportive. Oh, my bad. P not B Never mind

Ah, Carrie was here the night of the now infamous "We all hate her" thread. But I think there were only 99 total threads...100 would be excessive.

I think they are pox. You got them from those freaking chicken strips. (Or the kinky feather thing. I really don't want to know. Well, okay. Send me a PM with pics) Scratch the pox. It's good that they spread. More scabs to play with when you're bored. It'll keep you from eating .
