I ate terrible of course in Pennsylvania!! Well, it could have been worse I guess...but I didn't drink water like I should have! So I'm starting right now!! Great to be back w/all you guys!! PS if anyone lives in Pennsylvania...its beatiful there! Good to be back on track! Turner24:clap2:

Avilla- Happy Anniversary Girlie :biggrin1: Hope you worked off some of your Red Lobster calories when you got home :heh: Teresita- Where do you live?? I am in Ohio and we have 3 inches of snow and 3/4" ice on top of that. We are supposed to get another 3-6" today and overnight. :faint: Tann- You are doing great!! I know how it feels to want to be able to eat like we used to sometimes :cry . I made BBQ ribs and they smelled great, but chew as I might it hurt like crap going down :think . I felt sick the rest of the night :sick Hope you all stay safe, dry, and warm today!! The good news is I won't need to wait for the treadmill today :clap2: . Yes sarge!

I have a question!:girl_hug: We are taking lunch meat for sandwiches to the hotel and chips and things. There is no microwave in the room. What are some good portable food idea's you all have found?? I am taking some fat free sugar free yogurt. I don't tolerate lunch meat well, and I dont need the chips :bandit . love you all ! I mean it, I couldn't do this without you guys and your support!! Turner24

Hi all! Just been reading back through the last few pages......I too hated to try and wipe my a$$!!! Thats the lowest of lowes isn't it??:cry I picked up an up to 400lbs scale at bath and body works for $39.00. :confused: We have talked before about how hard it is to find one that goes over 330lbs!!:rolleyes I have lost another 7lbs! :clap2: . I am thrilled. I am just starting to believe this might actually work!! I was such a slow looser until recently. :guess Thank God it took off finally! I guess I didn't put it on in a day....and I wont take it off in one either :heh: Great job everyone on wt loss. Just wondering........ what is average wt loss post op? I was banded 10/30/06. I see people posting who have lost 50lbs in 1mo or so. I was starting to get very discouraged :think . As long as the scale goes down not up though, I won't complain!! Best of luck to you all! Turner24

Hi All! I am down 7 more lbs this morning :confused: :) . I am excited to finally see the scale moving!! For all of you that are like me and weigh more than the 330lb wt limit of most scales:omg: . I though I would share.........I got a weight watcher scale at Bath and body works for $39.00. I didn't think it was too bad. It goes up to 400lbs. I hope to not need it to surpass 350 for long!:tired I am inspired to behave so here is menu plan for today: B= sugar free hot chocolate l= Soup at hand brocolli and cheese d= salad and 1oz bbq ribs, green Beans. 64oz water/crystal light Good luck to all of you!!!!! Turner24:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Hi October buddies! I was banded Oct 30th 2006. I have only lost 27lbs! I am not cheating and exercising when I can. Does this sound really, really slow to anyone else?? :cry Turner24

NICEYRENEE: GREAT JOB!!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Hi all bootcampers! I had a 0.2cc unfill yesterday and I am feeling better. I ate some pringles this morning (not the best choice:rolleyes .. but it was proof I can eat solids again!!) I am having cottage cheese for lunch. I lost another 6lbs in the 2 weeks since my fill, but that was mainly because I couldn't eat anything . I am going to have to be very careful now. Cause I'm STARVING!:hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: Hope everyone has a great weekend!:biggrin1: We too are trying to stay warm. Its a heat wave.......We are getting up to 12degree's today!:omg: See you all Monday for check in :D Turner24

Wheetsin, That was great! I enjoyed a good laugh:biggrin1: . I can't wait to have that conversation w/my doc in a year or so!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: CONGRATULATIONS!! Turner24

Hi All! Welcome LaLa! I have to check in today since I don't have internet access over the weekends!:phanvan I am trying to survive untill Thursday (I get a slight unfill!) I have not been able to eat anything lately.I have very little energy so exercising is hard....but I did do the stairmaster for 5min and lift weights at lunch today! Breakfast: sugar free hot cocoa snack: Water lunch: carnation instant breakfast in 8oz milk snack: Water supper: tomatoe soup Turner24

Okay, I'll go for 348. I was 368 at my last weigh in (Jan 19). That would be 20lbs from last wt. :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes I better go walk on treadmill just thinking about it LOL! Turner24

Quote:(Hey what's going on? How much do you have in your band?) __________________ Teresita and fellow campers, I have 2.5cc's in a 4cc band (I think its 4 or 5). I am having a terrible time keeping anything solid down. I am loosing fast so I liked it for awhile, but now I am feeling run down and tired. I counted my calories and I am only getting around 600/day. I am going to call them today:rolleyes . I can't stand it anymore. I need more nutrients.:think I will get the 0.5 taken out. I shouldn't have gotten it put in. I lost 16lbs and I went ahead and got another 0.5 put in cause I didn't want the loosing to stop. I have learned my lesson I think!! Turner24

Hi fellow bootcampers!! I think I may be too tight! I tried to live w/it; cause I couldn't take it off fast enough for me; but I can't eat right!!:phanvan I have had today: sugar free hot chocolate for breakfast because I have heard people say they are tight in AM and need something hot to loosen up! It is now 12noon here and I can't keep down tomato soup and crackers!! I thought maybe I ate too fast...so I waited,.... and nope! I lost it again. Should I get an unfill?? I can't eat ground meat either! I am living on refried beans and soup. I am not getting enough nutrients in and I am starting to feel like crap.:rose: I did drink a protein shake for vitamins yesterday for a snack. Should I cave and get an unfill? or should I stop whining and drink my shakes and soup?? Turner24

I AM GOING TO YELL AT YOU FOR SARGE!! YOU BETTER GET THAT FILL AND GET ON BOARD GIRLIE:mad: !! I AM GLAD FOR MY FILL CAUSE I CAN'T EAT BREAD OR MCMUFFINS ANYMORE!! DROP THE FRIES AND RUN UP THE STAIRS 5X'S AGAIN TODAY!! TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY!! START OVER:guess :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :) WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! DON'T FORGET TO DO YOUR MEASUREMENTS TONIGHT!:cry I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT.........IT SHOULD BE DEPRESSING ENOUGH TO MOTIVATE ME!!:omg: LOVE YOU ALL TURNER24

I just read the measurement thing. I will have to do mine tonight and post them tomorrow! I pulled a muscle in my back so I am having trouble breathing let alone walking. Have been drinking my water though!! I'll post in measurements tomorrow!! turner24

Hi fellow campers! Teresita- It wasn't meant to be an excuse=) I promise:rolleyes: . I took the good advise and walked in place at home.

Hi All, Feeling better today.......still have cramps:mad: , but haven't succumbed to cheescake and coke:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: . Your right sarge, today is another day. I am going to fill up my water bottle right now!:speechles Do you guys feel sick if you drink too much after eating? I have to wait about 45min-1hr after eating before I can drink my water. It makes it hard to fit in enough protein/food. How do you guys do it??:mad: I'm afraid I'm a bit too tight d/t unable to eat solids well. I am trying to just deal w/it and hope it loosens up a bit. I go for my 3mo appt 2/14/07. I can have a slight unfill then if it persists. I PB on anything solid (PB'd up one dorito last night....One!!) Soup,chili, and refried beans are my meals for a while.
