Yasmina.....I hear ya. As bandiva suggested, I would do the Soup thing or the salad thing that you mentioned and just say that with the cold your stomach is also acting up. You can mention to her that you were "sick" earlier in the day (ie. vomited) and so you are just trying to be careful and not upset your tummy.

LIARS! All of you:eek: I've lied more in these past few weeks than in my entire life. Yasmina, stick with the "flu" defense and have a salad.< /p>

It's so funny to hear others are struggling with the lieing thing too,I just got home from a friends house where she had homemade spaggetti on(it smelled unbelieveable) the stove....I had to say no no I could'nt stay I left dinner in the oven and had to race home before it was overcooked.....then I had to look at vanilla optifast:faint:when I returned.

Yasmina,

Talk to the clinic I know they have given other bandsters or pre-bandsters the option of having a high Protein diet. I hate yogurt and cottage cheese... so if I had to do it all over again I would be in big trouble. But I know several bandsters have done the pre-op on grilled chicken, plain fish that sort of thing.

Good luck

That would be soooo much better. They did say I could have a small chicken breast if I really needed. I NEED IT !!

Breana, my dog is having Pasta & meatballs for dinner ( yes I know, she is a dog ) and I have to make it for her, then go out for a walk while she eats. I am feeling testy today.

I will stick to the Flu story, but it is going to be hard.

Thanks for all the advice

oh the dog has Tomato sauce all over her face AAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hi Argon,your weight loss is amazing,how often do you exercise? I'm just trying to imagine how dedicated you and the other veterns on this site are in order to get the success you are getting. I keep wondering about my own comitment level.....and how often I've give up in the past and if the band in some way gives you stronger motivation to keep with it. Regardless great job:clap2:

Thanks Astrotoes I started at the gym in mid October, and I go 3 days a week. Honestly I feel like I've just gotten really lucky with how well I've done so far. LOL I know, I know... I'm a dummy!

Are you kidding ! that dog does not share !

I survived the restaurant thing with salad, dressing on the side and grilled chicken with out the sauce. They all ate desert and drank coffee, hate then all ! lol

[susieq321 31]

It gets better and worse.. worse for the next several weeks and after that you learn that prior to dessert you are honestly full... or you can share and have a bite or two if you feel the need.

Good to know you ate well and no one knows, who you don't want to know...

Well they are good friends, but I have decided to only tell my two friends that I dance with, and by manfriend, Carman. ( I hate the word boyfriend ) My one friend Donna will be traveling with me to Toronto and she and I just started going to weight watchers. I figured that organized weighs in would be better them doing it every day.

It is funny they talk about stopping eating when you are staifisted, not when you are full or stuffed. I have no Idea where that is at. I hope that the band will help with that !
