Those people piss me off too! However, I think it is another instance where you have to chalk it up "Oh I wish I could...." on their part. I had one girl tell me the other day"you didn't do this because of the ex did you?"? ugh, Hell NO! I gained 60 pounds because of him why the hell am I going to make myself feel better because of him.......made me mad This girl is bigger than I and I know that she has a case of the wish i coulds too!

Thanks. The way I keep on adding up mine --I will get like 30-40......We were told that protein shakes are meal replacements not a snack. So, thats where I got fumbled!

I had a really bad break up about a year and a half ago. I didn't see it coming, it was straight out of left field. I gained 57 pounds since then. So far, what the band has done for me is give me hope that I can get back to where I was ten years ago. I still love him. He's gone. I am hoping that this will help with self confidence to get back out there and find a good guy. I know it shouldn't be this way but so many people judge you by your looks. I want to look great, therefore, will be seen differently.

OK, so I know that what I am about to say is really HIGH in sodium but, hey, it's better than breaking! Ramen noodle juice! It is good and different.....VERY salty!

Everyone with new pics up! You guys look great. How has it changed your single life from the first pic to the last? Men and women's viewpoint!!

Have you taken Milk O Mag for the constipation? That might help a bit. I know when I get constipated it causes so many other things to hurt.

How much weight did you lose while drinking liquids?

I have been very open about the surgery with the people I work with. I am a teacher, they are the best gossipers in town! Therefore, whenever someone lies and lies about something when it comes out, they look to be the silly. So, I figured I am excited about it, people that love me will be too, the others I don't worry about! The people that are critical know deep down (if they are overweight) that they would do it in a minute, if they could come across the money!! Negativity usually stems from some kind of jealousy. Besides, WE are on OUR way to a healthier US!

always chunky........ fat after bad break up

Crystal!! I am a Dr. Davidson Project too! I got my band almost two weeks ago! Is anyone interested in getting together every 6-8 weeks??

That is awesome!! Wow! Keep it up Harley!

Oh my goodness! You got to go into the water 2 weeks out! Lucky! I was told to wait four weeks, so two weeks to go...

<p>OH dear! My nurse said do not drink any of the protein drinks that are over 10 carbs!!</p> and to make sure that they have over 20 g's of protein!

I can walk on the treadmill 15-20, nothing to strenuous. That's about it! No water(bath/hot tub/swimming pool) for four weeks. You?

Yes, I haven't had cream de la potato but it is on my list! I mixed Cof Mushroom and Cof Celery together......yummy too!

I have drank the juices from canned veggies. Green bean juice/field pea juice. I know sounds appetizing doesn't it? However, it did put some flavor into the diet. OHH...one night I had 3 oz. of chicken broth and 1 oz. of green bean juice. Two course liquid meal! WOW

Wow! I am so totally envious of you guys! Here's to hoping that in a year , or less, I will be there hangin out with you two!

Ok...........so, I had lost 5 pounds in a week. However, I ate some really salty soup last night and gained 3. I know this is probably just water weight but what a let down. I can't let it get me down.......

Hi! I see there are alot of us from around DFW. I was wanting to start a little support group meeting every 4-6 weeks. How does this sound? Any suggestions? Is there already one? Tell me your thoughts!!

Low Carb Slim Fast-Choco Low Carb/fat Peanut Butter-1 tsp. blend blend blend........Reeses!

There is always the option of taking a Healthcare Card. It's like a credit card, I think Capital One is the most used, and you just finance it and then pay it off......If you are totally serious about having the surgery, this might be something worth checking into.

Hey! My nurse turned me on to the Low Carb Slim Fast. It has 20 g's of Protein and only 4 carbs. I never thought I would say this but the vanilla is better than the chocolate!! lol Anyhow, can't beat them for convenience either!! Make sure not the regular SF or the Optima....those have way to many carbs and not enough protein. I drink different broths from Soups and vegetable juice out of canned veggies. I will be on it for two weeks, however, doctors are different. Also, I was told to drink 2 oz Water every 15 minutes and I haven't been hungry yet.

ck--You are in my thoughts and will be,so, don't desert us! I will want to hear about your success as you go along. Good Luck to all going this week!! How is everyone feeling that went Thurs/Fri??

You know what.........You deserve your Kangoojumps! Splurge some more if you feel the need. You are entitled!
