i am taking a week off work for my plastics... this is crazy, right? wtf am i thinking? do i need 2, 3, 4??

Tex, i am having a problem calibrating mine ... :rofl: i go for 1.0 miles, it registers 1.5 ... not a good thing ...

hey nina, the whey gourmet have about 120 cals for a scoop, not too bad...

Chocolate Chip Mint, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Creamy Caramel Dip and Dark Chocolate Mousse i figure if i hate something, i'll mix it with something else - even if it is muscle milk or something - and make it decent...

:faint: :omg: :faint: 20000!!! :faint: wow

hi Crystal, im from DFW too! yup, im going under the knife once more ... scared as shit... (can i say that here ??? :rofl:) maybe scared is the wrong word ... anxious, excited, ... ok, scared ... dont really want to keel over...

oh i know about the high carb ones!! i am actually kind of sick of Atkins shakes since i've been having them for breakfast and sometimes lunch since June-ish. so i've been having Muscle Milk which tastes amazing but it is SO high in both fat and carbs ... really have to watch it. im anxiously waiting for my Whey Gourmet shakes (one will be delivered tomorrow) thanks Julie. i cant beleive it's 52 days away! im getting really nervous / excited....

hello ... 36(ugh), married with 1 DD adopted from China. i had lap band on 09Oct06 and am having extended tummy tuck and lipo on 29Feb. i've lost about 135 pounds so far.

BBK, yikes, i cant believe they wont even return your calls! are they THAT busy that they do not need any more business? doubt it. hope you can speak with the office manager and get this sorted out and if absolutely necessary find a great new PS.

posted on my blog but wanted to post here too... ok, i really need to get this *bleeping* weight off of me before surgery. i mean it! i ordered some whey gourmet shakes (chocolate Chip Mint, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Creamy Caramel Dip and Dark Chocolate Mousse). the plan is to have those during the day (as many as needed, no more than 7 scoops) then for dinner have 2 chicken strips (grilled) and some veggies. for a snack i will drink some diet V8 Splash to make sure i get all my necessary Vitamins in. all in all it comes out to be under 1000 cals, under 20 grams of fat, about 12% from carbs and LOTS of Protein (172 grams with 7 scoops of powder and the chicken). not sure how many shakes i will need during the day, so i gave myself a pretty high allowance. let's see if this works. (and how long i can stick with it...) oh, i am giving myself one day a week where i do not do shakes all day. not sure if i will use it, but it will give me something to look forward to...

karey, that's great news. my LB surgeon does not have privledges at my TT hospital, so that's not an option for me ... but that's ok ... we'll see if it sticks out... i still have lots of 'fluff' :rofl:

nina, yeah, we do get all kinds of stuff over here, but i miss European food as well... i lived in Paris for awhile when i was (much) younger... of course that's my only view of Europe so it is rather skewed, but nonetheless ... i miss it! Orangina ... yummmmmmie! the red not the orange, of course now that carbonation would probably give me the worst heart burn! Tracy - congrats on 1derland!!!

i am staying on plan today cause my plastic surgery is in 52 days and there is no way i can lose 20 pounds in 52 days and not stay on plan.

attention all new people, this is basically just an informational thread pointing you to commonly asked questions. if you have questions that have not been answered, please post a new thread. good luck on your upcoming surgeries.

nina, the salad was really REALLY good. i'll have another one tomorrow without the egg. that steak was really good. went to Target tonight to get some more steak and will try their pre cooked chicken some time soon as well.

youch! sounds really painful, but isnt all reconstructive ??? hope you can get it if you want it ...

hey T, can you give me some info on the total body contour? is it lipo only? just wondering.. thanks, C

i emailed my LB surgeon's nurse to get her thoughts on it. if it requires another op, not sure if i would go thru it... i'll see how it looks before i think about going under again.

no Cookies today ... im just eating my steak salad. Tyson makes these great steak strips already cooked ... yummie!! put too much dressing on it though, oh well, i know better now. my 'treat' today is my oh yeah bar that i'll eat about 2 or 230 when the munchies hit ...

whos! 100 lbs!! :clap2::whoo::clap2: awesome!!

i forgot to mention ... no port revision. my plastics guy doesnt want to touch my lap band at all, which i am relieved that he is comfortable telling me he isnt comfortable touching the band, but sad that i wont get the LP port ... **sigh**

i am staying on plan today cause i can eat good food and be satisfied while on plan and still lose weight!

oh Nina, i understand completely... i wouldnt want to go home with any chance of complication occurring ... you are going to look so incredible!!!

makemeheal.com is a great site!! some of the transformations are fabulous ... some not so much ... thats the scary part ...

i am normally snacky late afternoon. even if i am full, head hunger gets me. grrrrr.. OUSooner is also on the 11th of February, his thread is here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f12/next-step-finding-real-me-45384/ i am so excited for all of us! this truly is an incredible step. Nina & Neal, cant wait to hear how things go... im trying to talk my DH into letting me have my iPhone in the recovery room with me so i can at least post to my blog.
