Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters

[Daisalana 33]

I ordered a chef salad yesterday from Steak Out to bring for lunch today. I forgot it. Waaah. My stomach is growling and that salad sounds soooooo good

Back on strict Atkins. This is what I anticipated.. Atkins can help me lose it, the band helps me maintain. I've been eating random stuff (not all low-carb) and I have stayed at 268.6lbs all week. So if I can stop the carbs some more, lose weight, band will help me maintain. Darn it, I need my excited gung ho will powered self to wake up.

OK

Poll of the week...

dbf and I are planning a night away, no kids - Just us. I am making a little package to take with us but... i want to put something to drink in there... wine...something good/pretty, not just bring a bottle of vodka which would just make me happy...

what would you all personally drink as a nice adult night?

[Jennifur 0]

OH... no i will not tell what else is in the package...

[Teachlady 3]

Jennifur..On an adult night, I would fix a nice slushy Red Raspberry Lemonade Crystal Light, with a twist.. shaken,not stirred.

Ok, Ok, so I'm boring!!

[Daisalana 33]

I'm not a big fan of alcohol, but I've found 2 things I like now..

Dirty martini (which is vodka so nah).

And then Blackberry Merlot. It's like bottled candy! And it's wine. I think we get Arbor Mist, gas station and cheap LOL. But it's very good.

I'm having port pain..like muscle pain..when I bend over or lift.

I can't think of anything I've done to strain it.

When I first noticed it was after eating quite a bit. I was really hungry (I saw my lap band doctor yesterday..didn't get a fill..everything was fine but I didn't eat more than a cup a Soup all day) when I ate dinner.< /p>

I ate a steak salad..almost all of it. That's when my port area started hurting. Now today it's worse when I laugh, lift or bend.

This is weird..anyone ever have something like this and what did you do to make it quit hurting?

Jenn~ I love love love champagne. It is not band friendly, but I know some people are still drinking diet sodas (raise your hand if this applies to you). So, if you tolerate soda or carbonation, I would vote for champagne. But, I wanna know what else is in the package (hehe). Or a nice bottle of Pinot...what food are you bringing...or is food not what this night is all about???

[Daisalana 33]

I don't drink carbonation much anymore, since I mostly drink Water and SF kool aid.. But when I go to Tunica (once every other month?) I have my shirley temples!

And I had champagne at my wedding.

I don't think one time hurts anything. Some people experience pain from carbonation, it doesn't hurt me though. I wouldn't drink it every day though! I can see the logic of how it would stretch the pouch out eventually.

[Jennifur 0]

I can't do carbonation or afraid to try. I was addicted to diet coke before lb, and my skin was a mess, i was a mess, so I just tell myself I can't so I won't.

So that brings another question... who can do carbonation?

Just curious... and trying to make a distraction to my/our very stressful week.

Pam... I can't tell what is in the package... might change people's opinion of me.... LOL... I will tell I have some nice massage oil and some other lotions and such...

no food, I want to go out, we never get to do that.

Off to pre op----fun, fun, fun.

Jenn---Is the goal to seduce him, or show him a good time? If so what does HE like? Yeah, don't tell us what is in the basket....either we would relate too well, and decide we were all wickedly kinky....or we might just get jealous and cry!!! But we love ya anyway!!

Check in when I get back.

I was a Diet Coke addict until April 9, 2007. I have not had any carbonation since April 10th. On every single page of the nutrition sheets we received it says.. ABSOLUTELY NO CARBONATED beverages I obey my doctor's rules and my nutritionist's rules. I know everyone has different rules, but I just go by what my people say. Works for me and I don't want to tempt fate!!!

[kity 2]

I have not had any soda, diet or otherwise, since March 22, 2007. I can not argue how my complexion has cleared and how well I sleep. I know it is not good for you, but I used to swear that I thought Diet Coke was like oxygen. Now...I miss it from time to time...a coke looks good...but so does my face!

[TracyinKS 7]

HH: I get that sometimes...... for no particular reason.. weird.

ADULT NIGHT ehhhhhhh???????????? (mind in gutter)

For me it would be Parrot Bay and Dt. Dr. Pepper! YUMMY

I do drink dt soda...... sometimes it works and sometimes it won't.. GO FIGURE

[Daisalana 33]

It's a rare occasion I drink carbonated drinks, like I said

I NEVER liked diet drinks, so I have no temptations there, and looking at the nutritional facts on normal cokes has kept me in line 99% of the time. I haven't had a Mt. Dew since.. 1 month pre-op. That was my crack. I actually crave normal coke once in a while, but haven't died to have a Mt. Dew.

One day I was choking, dad had a Mt. Dew, only thing around.. I took one sip of it to stop choking. It was not as good as it use to be, and I didn't want to drink more than I had to. So that was nice.

Blackberry Merlot, not sure if that's carbonated? When I drink it, I don't see/feel bubbles. I think it's not..
