BabyGotBack

That was really nice!! I truely do feel a bond with all of you. We really are taking the journey of our lives with each other. We understand each other in that special way, that only a bandster can. I am so glad to have a group of ladies like you to come to every day and share the joy and pain with.

What kind of sauces do you use on the chicken or meat to help it go down? Do you mean like ketchup, bbq sauce, ranch dressing type sauces?

WOW! You are doing great! You sound like you will need a new wardrobe sometime in the near future! I heard there was a clothing swap on ObesityHelp.com I want to look into it. Or I will donate my clothes to like a women's shelter or something. :clap2:

Thanks! I am glad to find out why! It makes sense. I will make sure I buy cottage cheese. Will cottage cheese pack the pouch too to keep me full longer or does it go through the band? The Morning Star sausage is really soy. Do you have problems with veggie burger type stuff? I am picky about me meats, chicken, etc. I buy organic milk, eggs, chicken, beef, etc. So, soy is a good choice for me as well as fish. I heard crab cakes are good too! I can't wait to hit Trader Joe's and Henry's (health food markets) and buy me some good protein! I used to get these veggie burgers that had pieces of actual veggies in it. I think it was called Dr. Krogers or something like that. I CAN'T WAIT TILL SATURDAY!!!! But, then in a way I am scared because I don't want to PB. I can tell my restriction has let up. I can drink my water faster and eat my soup faster without feeling restriction. Will I feel restriction again when I start on solids?

I am almost 3 weeks post op. I have already made my 6 week fill appointment for Feb. 17. They didn't ask me any questions though!

Hey, my husband is Puerto Rican. I am Mexican making my kids MexiRicans!!!

My name is Audree, I am 33 years old and live in Rancho Cucamonga, California. My screen name is Babygotback because whenever I go dancing and the song "baby got back" comes on, people look at me and expect me to dance! Yes, I have a BIG booty! I have been told it looks like it is on hydrolics!:faint: Anyway, I am looking forward to toning down the booty and not being a spectacle.

I buy this coffee that is supposed to be healthy for you and this oatmeal type thing called Spirulina Oats. It is called Gano. You can get more info on Ganoexcel.com I can start my solids on Saturday. I think I am going to buy Morning Star soy sausage patties and some other healthy type proteins like salmon patties, crab patties. For some reason I don't get a mushy stage. The only thing I can figure out from that is someone told me you tend to gain when you get into the mushy stage. Maybe because it is easier to get in excess calories with mushies and they are so yummy!!! So, he has me go straight to solids. I also refuse to buy any new clothes and will just use up the stuff that hasn't fit me for so long. My surgeon told me to get ready to burn ALL of my clothes! I can't wait to go shopping and like what I see in the mirror for the first time! I also set my appointment for my first fill for Feb. 17. So, in three and a half more weeks! But, my restriction is still holding up to varying degrees. I am still keeping to the 1 cup a meal rule. I don't want to push it. I will use this time to lose as much as I can. At least I am able to get about 1000 calories in now.

Don't forget a massage!!! How are you? I haven't talked to you in a while!

Congrats! You have entered Bandland!!!:clap2:

Welcome!!!! This is a great place full of great, supportive people!!:clap2:

Congrats on the loss!!!:clap2: :clap2: I also made my 6 week fill appointment. How do they determine if they give you one?

Cool!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

:bump2: :bump2: :bump2: :bump2:

Congrats to all the new and to be banded!!! I love you all!!!!

I just so happened to start using an aloe vera and garlic shampoo for dry scalp. I will have to see if it helps me with my hair!!!

I am feeling very good today!! I do have a slight cold, but band wise, feel really good. I didn't feel any restriction yesterday, but ate the same and when I felt restricted. I didn't want to try to see how much I could pack in before getting sick. This is what I ate today: Breakfast: 1 cup Gano Mocha coffee; 100 calories 1 package of Spirulina Oats (stired into my coffee); 125 cal. 1 cup of Silk vanilla soy; 100 cal, 6 g. protein *** I felt very satisfied with this combination. The Spirulina oats are supposed to help with appetite and I can say it worked. I didn't feel hungry till about almost 2pm. And even when I ate lunch, I wasn't hungry, hungry like I usually would be. Lunch: El Paso Chicken Cheese Enchilda Soup, pureed; 170 cal, 8 g.pro. Dinner: Cream of chicken; 200 calories, 3 grms protein Total Calories: 695 calories Supplements: 1 tbsp. Glacial Milk liquid vitamins 1 Quick Slim 30 Liquids: 24 ounces of lemon crystal light, 40 ounces crystal light I took my QuickSlim 30 today for the first time. I didn't necessarily take it for appetite suppression, but it is also for energy and assisting in helping the body to lose weight. I opened the capsule and put it in with my liquid vitamin. I just wanted to see how I felt with it. I'd like to go for a walk but haven't had the energy. I will report how it made me feel. My pants feel looser and I notice I am peeing a lot more. I wasn't too hungry and the QuickSlim 30 gave me a lot of energy!!!

I wasn't told anything by my doctor. I had heard when ever you feel ready. I personally waited 3 days!

How is everyone doing today???

Congrats!!!! How are you doing?:clap2:

Glad to hear it worked!!! You can always lock your door!!! Maybe some Gas X

How could I get an anti-emitic? Would I need to get a prescription? Thanks!!!

I'd like to know too!!!

This is good! I am bumping it because I want to get some words of wisdom!!
