Thanks for accepting me as your friend Be sure to read my comment on your post titled " What They Didn't Tell You - Part 1 " Have a great day!!!

awwww...thank you for keeping an eye on me!!! i am officially counting you in for the anti-band meeting at the steakhouse should this sh*t NOT work LOL time & place to be determined at a later date ~

Girl... you have no idea how much better I felt after getting your message this morning... cause I was seriously considering saying F-this-Sh*t!!! LOL I am scheduled for a fill on October 6th and I AM SOOOO READY!!! By the way, I think Jerrica is on-board for the steakhouse anti-band meeting should one be deemed necessary ~

Sweetheart, you just absolutely made my day! I went to my 2 week follow-up yesterday and was told I'd lost 7.5 pounds. I cried. I couldn't believe that I'd ONLY lost 7.5 pounds after not eating for 2 whole friggin weeks! My doctor assured me that 2 - 3 pounds a week is "normal" weight loss with lap band ... guess I was aiming for "above-normal." I was totally bummed this morning, to the point of not wanting to drink my protein shake out of sheer defiance ... I'm sorry you were disappointed too but gotta admit that it makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone. Make you a deal ... you hang in there & I will too!!! After a year, if we've still only lost 4 - 7 pounds, you & me will meet up at the steak house and discuss our frustrations over a t-bone, baked potatoe, & hot fresh rolls covered in butter deal?

In regards to your comment on my pic... I would be HONORED to be handcuffed to you one day ~ How much friggin fun would that be if we COULD meet up!!!

whoops, forgot to answer your question about incisions itching...no, mine haven't itched at all. did your doctor use stitches? mine didn't...he just glued them closed...and I think that made a big difference. Looks like I'm going to have very minimal scarring.

The protein shake I'm using is called wheybolic 60 - I get it from GNC & mix one pack with 12oz of water. It has 60 grams of protein in it so that's all I have to drink during the day...and I love that! It doesn't taste terrible...certainly wouldn't be my first choice if they left it up to me, but all things considered it's not so bad. I'm having a hard time sticking to the "diet." I have actually taken several bites of stuff I'm not suppose to have which makes me wanna kick my self in the a$$...I gotta get control of these cravings! How are you doing with the diet? What week are you on now? What are you eating?

haven't heard from you in a few days chick...how ya doing? i finally broke down, chewed up a cheese stick, and then spit it out. LOL. pathetic, i know...but it totally served its purpose of getting the taste in my mouth long enough to overcome the temptation. hope things are ok...hit me back when ya get a chance.

How did your surgery go? How are you feeling?
