I love the boobie shaking banana-she kills me every time!:)

Heck yea!!! No cancer is a cause for celebration, so we must bring out all the stops - and that includes Boobie banana Man!!!

You know, I saw this really naughty banana in my Quest for Happy Smilies, and I must say...I don't know if I'm scared or offended, or maybe a little of both?? :cool2:

:thumbup:

(It looks like a big penis!!!) :mellow:

LMAO you two!!

I must say, I've been depressed for several months and my sex drive is microscopic, bordering on non-existent - but the idea of der wienerschnitzel is enough to push me over the edge! :mellow: :thumbup: :)

I am in the same boat as you, depressed with no sex drive. But I would kill for a chili cheese dog. Too bad I would PB from it!

Eat some chili cheese fries for me while you're at it! :thumbup:

Will do. Now I just need to find a Der Wienerschnitzel and we'll be all set. :thumbup:

Pssh, who needs birth control when you're depressed? That's control enough, I tell ya. :) I'm lucky my husband loves me, that's for sure. Because if this marriage was based on sex, it would be O-V-E-R....FOSHO! :cool2:

Sorry ladies driveby... hope everyone is well. My new position at work keeps me busy with more paperwork. Yeah. Less time for puttering around on the PC. Boo!

Munch and Jaime... so nice to SEE you ladies! =) Munch... awesome difference missy. Woot! WTG!!!

I am -5 for the weigh-in this week. Woot! Exactly 300. Stupid twoterville keeps playing with me. Grrrr.

I scheduled another fill for next week so he can re-add some of what he withdrew after I couldn't swallow Water. Hoping he will not charge me the full $150 for the re-fill.

Who needs birth control when you're depressed and not living with your husband? :mellow: She only put me on it because I was not regularly getting my periods.....I am not sure if it is worth it because of the food cravings. I have been eating like a pig all week despite the fact that I still lost weight.

I hope he doesn't charge you the full $150 either. Unfortunately, my fill doc does. He even did after HE measured wrong because there was an air bubble in the syringe and he filled it too full and had to unfill me a few weeks later. I'm telling ya, he's greedy!! I hope yours is better! (I guess it is still better for me than having to pay airfare to fly to Colorado...but if I had one under flouro my insurance would pay for it, so I don't understand what the big deal is...)

I have looked at it and last week started entering stuff, but then we went to the cabin and now it has been a week. I have to start again. My fat calories are always high and I am not so sure as to why. I will look more closely. Still kinda gettin' the hang of the site.

Deb, Just stick with it! You'll do fine. I am now using it first thing in the morning to plan my meals for the day. My goal is the 20/40/40. It's a lot harder than it seems! ARGH! AND I am so sore from doing the BFL lifting of my arms! Yikes!

My mom had a cancerous mass that did hurt-for five years. That is why I would rather be safe than sorry.

You're smart, I wouldn't take the chance, either!

This peanut agrees with mom. Five Years?! YIKES!

My mom was told that she had inflamation and not to worry, her doctor wouldn't even give her time off of work (she was having terrible pain when she moved or lifted her arm) she pressed the issue as well and they found a malignant tumor.

I'm so sorry Mal!

I went to the Library again last night looking for the BFL book, still out. I think I will just buy it tonight or at least take a good look at it. I want to join in, but I might be a bit behind...I'll let ya know. Sounds like you three are doing a great job with it! Keep it up! I am impressed!!

Oh, yeah...I FINALLY have an appointment for another fill!!! OMG, I hope this one gives me something!!!

Take care Banditos!

It's not that hard, it's doable and my daughter has joined me! She's already lost 2lbs! She's so devoted! I hope your fill is good too! Don't forget to ask if you have a 10cc band or a 10cm band.

Ok, hopefully this works since I am so computer/digital camera savvy. (Actually I am pretty digital camera savvy I just hate the one I have right now). Anyway, my aunt and I were looking through pics tonight on my camera, and she commented that she couldn't believe the change in my face from the pics from my friend Mollys wedding (which was shortly before I was banded in November. So here goes.

Honey! I wouldn't have ever recognized you!!! You are absolutely beautiful! You looks young and fresh and hot and sexy and gorgeous!

And for you Puff Mini, new pics of my completed tat. The poem is really not crooked on the bottom, it is just the curve of my back that makes it look that way in the pic.

I love your tat! The poem is so nice! You're a brave brave soul!

Anyone who decides they want to join the BFL challenge along the way....is more than welcome. Adork...your questions are welcome whenever you are ready. I highly, highly recommend that you take a look at the bfl.com website and read the book if possible.

When is the next RR get together? I must schedule it, or there is a chance I will doublebook.

Okay Girlfriend, plan our October date! Give us a couple of dates and we can figure out what works for us!

I got my upper body BFL workout in this morning and I have had 3 1/2 meals so far with a Protein and good carb in each one. I am going to try and get a Protein Shake in before bedtime.

How are the rest of you gorillaz doing?

2 more days and then its a Free Day...YAY!!!! (Sunday for me)

I am looking forward to the FREE DAY! Sunday for me too! I've had my 4 meals today and I am done!

We're tentatively scheduling an RR get-together for the night before my surgery when I'm in town. Tuesday November 4th. Dee said you usually meet around 7p? I'll have my mom with me, but I'd love to meet up with whoever can make it!!! :mellow:

Yes Maam, 7pm at the Red Robin at Arapahoe and I-25 on November 4th

Cool Beans. I have that one on my calendar and I plan on attending. Just wondering if anything is going on for October? I'm looking forward to meeting you Chicka. RR night is always very fun!

Cool Beans! You'll be there!!

I'll be on my pre-op low-carb diet, so I'm not really sure what I'll eat! And by that time I'll have quit sodas, so I may just end up with Water and a ceaser salad - but I'll be there with bells on!!!

Also, I haven't read anything about an October get-together.

Easy Breezy Girl! The Ensenada chicken Platter is what we all get, order it with regular dressing and no tortilla strips on the salad. Go to their website and you can check everything out. They have several meals you can eat on Low Carb.

Well, I saw Dr. K today, along with those two medical students or residents or whoever they are who just follow behind him and don't talk. My vein in my arm sclerosed from the IV medication during surgery, so it is no big deal. I can apply warm compresses, and it should go away eventually.

Lifesaver, we're meeting deboregon at Great Atlanta bread Company in Aurora Town Center if you want to join us. And yes, let's plan an October RR night for sure!

Sorry about your Ouie, What time were we going to meet at Atlanta Bread Company?

Good Morning All: I wanted to weigh in for our Halloween challenge. I didn't lose last week but I did really good this week. I lost 7 pounds.:cool2::):thumbup:

quote] Good Job! Congrats!!

Good Morning, everyone!

Well, today is my one year surgiversary. I can't believe that a year has past. I am still holding at an 88 pound loss and have 22 more pounds to go; but, today I am celebrating my acomplishments and keeping my eye on the eventual prize. I'll get there!

Thanks for all of your support along the way. I've been posting here for 14 months now, I think. You folks are the best!

Happy Happy Bandiversary Shelbi! You're the BEST! AND MY BFL BUDDY!

Just a drive by...

Hubby has a fever (102) praying that we dont need a bag. On a plus he farted! Move over Dee...just kidding. No results yet.

No loss this week. Duh.

Dr K and Tom seem to think that I pulled a stitch out along with a chunk of muscle and that has caused the pain in my stomach and in my back. Hopefully all will be better soon.

I am stressed to the max and am crying at every little thing.

This sucks. Plain and simple.

Ouch!!! That's horrible! I bet that hurts! I always fear that I'll flip my port! What is the solution? AND I don't want to be always remembered when someone has GAS!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your arm, ouch! I'm glad it will go away though and isn't something more serious. I am right here in Bandster Hell with you my band sister. This too shall pass :w00t:

Bandster Hell WILL pass and you'll be feeling much better in no time! When is your first fill?

Thanks Shelbi! I am sure that I saw some ants crawling faster than my run, but I didn't stop! Heck I think I was running inplace for a minute...THAT'S how slow I run!!! Anywhoo 35 minutes done!:w00t:

Reminds me of me when I'm swimming -- elderly men with walkers are walking faster than I'm swimming!

Munchi, I LOVE Superbad. I know I shouldn't love Superbad, but I do anyway. In fact, we watched it for our Christmas Eve family video. Yes, we're that kind of family. And I am an eighth grade boy wearing a middle aged professor costume. What can I say.

I had my test this morning, and aside from wanting to barf, it was fine. Won't know my results until Monday though.

I am going to see Lisa Lampanelli tonight. If you know who she is, you're probably gasping right now to hear that she's performing in Utah. If you don't know who she is, that's probably for the best.

My daughter always says, I'm a 13 year old boy!!! That's bad! I hate the OGTT! We created a Breakfast for our pregant moms at the Village Inn across from the hospital (years ago in Albuquerque) -- they had to eat a certain breakfast and there were just enough carbs in it to do the test! AND not one ever vomited! When testing our Mom's for gestational DM, they often vomited after having to drink that glucola. The breakfast is more realistic. Who is going to go around drinking glucola? NO one!

Hey, I have been thinking....(never a good thing....)

What if, like a year from now, so we have time to plan and save, we have a get together where we all meet somewhere for a bandito/girls weekend at a spa or something? Wouldn't that be the bomb?? I think it would be awesome if we could all get together in person and hang out. We could watch Superbad and drink wine! :tt2:

I think that is a grand idea! Let's do it!!

No cancer!

Yippee! The best news I've heard all day!!

Ok everyone-WE MUST STOP DEE THE HORNDOG!!!! Probably even the talk of der wienerschnitzel was turning her on!!!

Yes, it's getting ugly Munchi!!! Der Wienerschnitzel is such a turn on!!

I made so many mistakes!

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
