One could really laugh at ones description of ones eating rules! LMAO:D

Hello LadyK, I'm bored too.....and cold, I am trying to talk mysef into going for a walk bbrrrr, only 40 degrees outside. I guess if I layer up I could! I should, cause when I get bored I always think about munching (I know bad). Well as I write I just saw the sun come out so I better hop to it! :D :D

I have always been a fast eater, but! After my third fill, I have slowwwwed dowwwwnnn!

Man you took the words right out of my mouth......"portion distortion" I really, really like it!

Congradulations! Aren't thrift stores fun......I have been doing it for years! It just seems like a shopping spree for not a lot of dough! And there is that "thrill of the hunt" thing going on too!

Why are band-haters so vicious? Don't they have anything better to do. We know people can have complications, it just seems like certain posters try to cram it down our throats!

Good morning peeps, Well I lost another pound..man it seemed like it took forever. I guess that is just the way it is going to be for me....loose a couple, plateau,loose a couple plateau! As long as it doesn't go in the other direction I'm fine! Charlene-too funny about all the poop...what goes in, must come out! Apples- this site is still bugging me...I can't find where my ticker or signature are! If anyone knows pray tell? Cheri- Way to get out and walk..in 20 degree weather...And I thought it was cold here at 50 degrees...It does make a big diff if that sun is shining doesn't it? I have been doing pretty good about walking twice a day, and yesterday made my afternoon walk just in time for a big rain...the dog and I did get alittle wet, but I think she needed a little rinse anyway:D ! Well thats about it for me. Hope everyone has a happy day: :waytogo: :lost1lbs:

Well I think if you just take it one step at a time you will do fine. I just had my third fill, and finally have restriction. It has taken over 3 months to get here.....plenty of time to wrap your head around it. Of course coming here helps dramatically! There is just tons of info, and support, and lots of people to answer any questions you have....people who have been there and done it! So keep reading, keep asking questions, and find some mentors!:welldoneclap:

It just sounds like your too tight...I don't know. I just got my third fill and found out I can't do anything cold, and I mean not even water in the morning. It can only be hot. I could be still swollen, but when I go to take a sip of water it feels like a rock going down.....ouch! Looks like I'm going to have to be creative in comming up with lots of warm drinks in the morning. Have you tried drinking something hot before your first bite ( i think you did but can't see your post)? Is it in the mornings or at anytime? Maybe you should call your Dr. just to see what he says.

Well everyone, the biggest thing that suprised me tonight was not only being able to eat my first real meal, but how little I ate, and felt full! WOW....what an impowering feeling, I think I am totally starting to get it now! How exciting.....I am bubbly! Back on track, I went for two walks today, first one went fine, second one as I am coming back towards home, some cars start to come by.....then a motorcycle came veering over, and it was my good friend Robert. He was bringing me a book to read (that's our little thing) we are avid readers.... anyway I just scooped up my weiny dog hopped on back and down the road to my house we went (wasn't really far) but my sophie got the wind in her face, and snorted a little and then the freedom come into her and she reached over and just licked my face like "thanks mom, what an experience!" It was adorable! Tonight I am one happy banded woman......hope everyone has a great nights sleep!

I am soo frustrated with this site! I still am not getting e-mail notifications, and it is messing with my routine! I used to like to check my e-mails at 8:00 btween fb and lbt I would spend a couple hours. Then time for my walk. Anyway enough of that. So I am still on mushies, and yesterday I made beef broth, with some dried mashed potato flakes, Breakfast and lunch, of course I had my protien drinks, then for dinner I had more beef broth with dried potatos, and a scoop of cream cheese for that whole Turkey day feeling but when I woke up I noticed my rings were tight, and thought hummmmmmm, went and checked the sodium on the beef broth box 1100mg per cube I had 3 cubes yesterday aaarrrggghhh that is a lot of sodium ( I would say Water retention here I come) So I'm off to town to find some low sodium beef broth. Gotta say I am kinda hooked on my gruel! I did manage to walk for 50 minutes yesterday (yeah me):Banane04: I'm waitnig till Dec.1st to go get my X-mas stuff out of storage, but may stop by today and do a visual. All my stuff is in storage, since I moved in with mom to get my lap-band... I am pretty sure I kept my decorations accessable as it is my favorite time of year. Apples...glad you got your color back:waytogo: . Happy birhtday Phyl!:party: Everyone else please have a great day!

Wow that is some story, I really don't know what to say except that maybe by getting the verticle sleeve your spasms would stop.....I know it seems like a lot of money, but if you think about quality of life, I think it would be worth it! So sorry for your pain!

Well I don't know about any one else but I signed up to get my notifications just like before and I have not recieved one single e-mail. Mind you I am signed up to quite a few,,,,that I went and re-registered to. Nope not an e-mail to be found....Oh well, I really want everyone to have a calm ,warm, happy, and fulfilling holiday....notice I did not say filling:D ! P.s. my emotocons don't work either,,,,maybe 1/2 the time!

Well I just had my 3rd fill yesterday, so my Mom and I will just make our famous broccoli dish and if I can handle it I will put it in the chopper. We decided to cook the whole deal on X-mas day as there will be no gifts this year, as I am wearing it inside my tummy!:Banane04: Happy T-day All

I think it is great that you are trying something new, plus the fact that you are not trying to bullshit anyone (sorry) it is just that so many people try to be who they are not......I have told every single person I know...I don't give a rat's you know what, what they think. They are going to judge me regardless ...if I am fat or skinny, or just right! I think what I'm trying to say is that I admire the fact that you told everyone,,,and I CAN relate to that! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving:Banane04:

Spoiltmom, I think we are all about doing the same. Hell, I've been on a platue for weeks now, but my clothes are getting looser. I only just got my 3rd fill yesterday and up to that time I was starving and not able to eat certain foods too. If you check back on other peoples old posts that I think you would see, we are right on schedule. Just enjoy your Thanksgiving, and soon you will get your next fill!:Banane04:

Congradulations! you must be so proud! What a thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!:Banane04:

Stick to protien, and maybe have some mashed potatos....Everyone has mashed potatos....And remember you don't have to finish everything on your plate, and just try a small spoonful of everything. People aren't going to freak out is you don't finish everything, and they are not going to care if you don't care for something. By the time they have shovled everything into their mouths, and hit that full wall, they won;t even care what's on anyones plate....Then you could help clear the table and put thier plates on top of yours:D I learned to do that when I over booked my thanksgiving and ended up having two in one day:D Just have a happy day!

Apples don't fret my dear, I am hear to help you get "your color on"!:Banane04: First go up to the top, where your little picture is, where it says signed in as, and click that.....then go to the posting below the time one, click on that then check "rich text editor" I hope this makes your day a little brighter! :waytogo:

Well, everyone we are coming up on our 4 month.....Well Dec. 3 will be my 4 month banddate. I just got my 3rd fill yesterday, and am really feeling it. So no turkey for me tomorrowB) . This morning it took a looong time to eat some soup. What a great feeling, never in my life could I get full on one can of soup. I used to be able to eat 2 or 3 big cans of chunky soup, and would be hungry in a couple of hours. As you can see I am up to almost 40 pounds gone for good:D ! I have been walking between 30 and 60 minutes a day for about 10 weeks now and have to say I love it! O.K. guys, everyone needs to report in and say how they are doing. All for now, ~Kelly~:Banane04:

Well, I just got my third fill yesterday and man-o-man, and I feel it today! I really don't know how much I have in my band, he just does the drinking test! I am on liqueds, and have to sip very slowely, as I am quite sure my tummy is swollen. I will report back when in a couple of days, and let you know.

Well, good morning everyone! It is cold, cold, cold here (I know not like you folks back east) But for California pretty chilly. I am feeling the fill full on now, as I imagine there is a little swelling! I guess I'm getting used to the new format, especially now that I got my color back I know dumb huh? Well, hopefully I will do my walk today, I don't know if we are expecting more rain or not....so at least one 30 min walk.:waytogo: Everyone have a great day!
