Winks

Well it's finally here thank goodness. Don't get me wrong I like Halloween. I love seeing my grandkids dressed up so cute & all the other little Trick or Treaters. What I will be happy to see go is these candy bars! I bought them way too early (Oct. 10th) funny I remember the day. lol... It's a miracle I haven't broke down & opened them! Well it's only 8 something in the morning but I'm ready to give out candy! Hope everyone has a wonderful & safe Halloween:biggrin: P.S. Pass it around I'm giving out full size candy bars so I can get rid of these suckers quick:-)

Yes that would be tough not to do a u-turn & go back all smiles You did it the right way & that always feels best. Congrats! P.S. Thanks for all those wonderful recipes

These sound yummy! Thanks

Congrats! I can't imagine ever running in a race. Your doing a great job

Well I'm glad your feeling better:) I've heard gas bubbles are really painful. When I progressed to the mushies I was so thankful. I never knew instant mashed potatoes tasted so good. Your on your way now;-)

My Dr. told me only liquids the first week. I used Premier Protein Drink that you can buy at Costco. It has 30 grams of protein & 160 calories for a 11oz. carton. I only picked this one because it had the most protein on the list of drinks. Also on the list soft yogurt, low cal. eggnog, strained soups, V-8 juice, thin smoothies, miso, sugar free Jell-o & broth. Hope this helps & remember you can always buy Carnation Instant Breakfast at the grocery store. Good Luck & try to get some rest.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I really like this site because everyone is so encouraging.

Well today is three months since I was banded. A lot of great things are happening with the weight loss. In my last post a month ago I told you about my not being able to walk for longer than 3 mins. (see blog if interested in my illness:-) I haven't walked for 1 & 1/2 years without my walker. Well after loosing 37 lbs. & physical therapy 3x a week...I'am walking again! Today I went to the grocery store & I was able to go down every aisle. 2 years ago before the H1N1 I did not find grocery shopping fun. Today I was thankful I could walk for an hour without sitting down (look out Macy's). Tomorrow I'm joining a gym & I hope the weight loss goes even faster. I'm starting to feel like my old very busy self again. I'am so glad I got this LAP-BAND®. I just had to share with the people on this site who have keep me going & encouraged me with their stories. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! P.S. My husband is almost as excited as I'am that I can take over grocery shopping again :-):thumbup:

May you run your best race ever!

I love it when the clothes do the talking.

You sound so happy & isn't that the best feeling. I'm glad you reminded me about annoying weight losers. I'm turning into one of those people. I keep texting my close friends with my weight loss. It might not count because they are all at least 100 lbs. thinner than me...maybe I'll send only every other week:-) Congrats your doing Great!

I tried a gummy vitamin once from a friend & it was yummy :-)

I like the chair! It will look really good in a room like you said that is kind of plain. I like one really stand out piece. Wow I'm sounding like I'm a decorator or something & I'm not! Good luck on your run & above all have fun:)

Oh I remember the J. Geils Band. That is too funny :-)

I'm just telling you what my book that the Dr. gave me says...When you lay down & start coughing it usually means your band is filled to tight. Now this is when your healthy not sick with say a cold. I'd check with my Dr. Hope you feel better soon :-)

Drink it all in because you deserve the credit for all the hard work you've put into this weight loss journey. Have fun :-)

I love seeing that green shirt photo every month. I don't think you need the scale to tell you anything the shirt does all the talking!!!

No sharp pain, but sometimes I feel like I have a side ache. That feeling I used to get when I ran too much. I think I get it when I drink to much liquid. Just a thought...but I'm no doctor Let us know what the doctor says.

Sounds like you did great How I love a back up dress...but you might not need it! Hope the sun is shining where you live too!

Congrats! Your paying attention to your body & it's paying off :-)
