Good Morning Gang

Well I have been up since 6 - took my babies to the beauty shop - when to the gym did my 3 miles - sweated like a pig - and now home...

Kristin - Tennis 2 hrs :smile: Way to go.... I was watching something on tv last nite about this 6 yr cute kid who looks like he will be our next great tennis star Jan Silva..

Peaches - Your picture is great - it didn't come thru before - OMW you want to get to 130 :cheers2: - 15 minutes of rowing way to go - IMHO I think I might get that last meal mentally again if I had to have surgery. What time is your surgery?? Passover 4/19-27 this yr...

Phyl - What are your plans today ?? Street Fair - Shopping -

I think I might go get my nails done the groomers just called they are running late so I have time - we will see I same still in my gym clothes...

Good Morning!!

Well, you were up and "running" early this morning, as usual! We slept a little later than normal and took our time reading the morning paper and having some coffee, so we just finished Breakfast 1/2 hour or so ago.

No plans today except for the Seder dinner at 4 pm. May go to the pool between now & then, but no vigorous exercise... maybe jog in the water... shoulder is feeling better so I'm going to pamper it a bit this weekend. Wanted to start using the weight machines but that might not be too easy on the shoulder either!

Did grocery shopping yesterday and have lots of seafood for the next few weeks!! That Mahi Mahi on the grill was sooooo good!

Did you see Green's post this morning...I think on the 50+ thread. Throat cancer... so sorry to hear that.

OMG yes I went there after posting here - I am SO VERY SAD & WORRIED about her - as I sit here and cry.. She was a mentor if I can use that word when I 1st joined lbt - her - diniomini - bjean - they taught me a lot and where a great support - I posted more on the 50 thread in the beginning - cuz this one I had a hard time keeping up with and back then they all had been banded already so they were more knowlegable about what to expect - where we were all guess here on this thread cuz we werent banded yet.

Well, by how she write - I know that she will put up a good battle - my heart goes out to her..

Well it's 10:30 and here i still sit - haven't gotten moving - the groomers just called and they are running late - so go get my babies at 11:30 instead of 10:30 - I really need to get my butt in gear here - yesterday my pool said 70 so if the week keeps getting warmer - I may get to use pool pretty soon - I like it about 80ish.. I think :cheers2:

Janet - what is fake Pasta? I love pasta but don't eat it much anymore.

Phyll - whole wheat pasta is good!! Can't taste the difference.

Peaches - Good luck with your surgery. Love the new picture. I am going to have to get one of me. More and more people are noticing the changes so............guess I must be.

Well, the sun is shining today, but there is about 8 inches of snow on the ground. (and this is sposed to be spring?)

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY, LOW CAL EASTER ! ! !

2 Reese Peanutbutter eggs = 160 Calorie - guess who is bugeting their calories to fit these into her food plan for the day.. 36_15_57.gif like my easter bonnett... [/url]

Well, went to walgreens to get the grandkids something for easter - called oldest gd and asked if she had a basket - NOPE - had they colored eggs - NOPE - OMW I just can't believe my son & dil -have no traditions (if i remember correctly i did this last yr too) - dil worked today -but was off yesterday - why didn't they color eggs then... I swear if it wasn't for me my gd's would not have any traditions - So I got dye - picked them up and we colored eggs 36_15_34.gif - I guess somethings about your childhood really stick - making xmas cookie - coloring easter eggs - my Mom & Dad were really good about those things we celebrated the holidays...

Well, it's been quite here today - I guess everyone is preparing for tomorrow - Linda - watch out for your family & all that food - make sure you hit the gym if you can on monday

Fiber Groument here is the link - FiberGourmet: high fiber, low calorie pasta

it's real pasta with 1/2 the calories 210 in regular pasta and only 130 in this stuff plus 18 grams of fiber.. I over cooked mine the one time I tried it and just used butter - wasn't that great ok but not great - I think it would be better with spaghetti sauce on it and not over cooked... I tested it at 4 minutes but didn't seem done - then when back a few minutes later and it was over done...

Good Morning Ladies

36_15_58.gif HAPPY EASTER 36_15_58.gif [/url]

Well I see last night was quite - I had GD's until 9ish - Watched Moses (sort of an Easter tradition for me) and went to bed. Up at 6:30 :wub: drinking ice tea - I guess DIL & girls will be coming over here for Easter - they think they may go swimming - it's suppose to be close to 90 - pools about 73 so we will see:rolleyes: - Ham - Mashed Potatoes - aspaguess (sp) are on the menu - no more candy for my had my 2 little eggs last night - I'm done.

I was reading an artical in my magazine and it says it's good to be afraid of food - it will keep you on the straight and narrow... Negative thinking is a good approach to food & on exercise you gotta think of how you would look if you werent exercising - I need new people come in the gym and say to myself - I use to look like that... I don't want to look like that again so I keep walking..

Ok back to my paper - Just wanted to check in this morning...

Happy Easter everyone!

I hope you have all strayed far from the Cadbury Creme eggs and the other not so healthy choices. We could always eat the carrots that we stick out for the Easter Bunny!

So I can finally eat again. The sad thing is that I know have LESS in my band than I did when I initially went in to get the fill. When I went in 2 weeks ago I was at 1.8cc in a 10cc band. THey filled me up to 2.6cc and when I went back in and she checked what I had I was down to 2.0cc. So she removed .3 to a 1.7. Then the doc checked the flow and said that he was okay with the flow. I did make an appt with the nutritionist (may have already told you that) for Wed. We are on spring break this week!!!!!!:wub: I lost 9 pounds according to their scale and when I stepped on the scale here I was at 162. Only 2 pounds away from revised goal. On their scale I was 163 and the doctor was not happy. He wasn't mad at me, just not happy that I couldn't get in sooner so that I hadn't lost that much. He told me I DEFINETLY need to go into maintenance now. In my brain I would really like those last 2 pounds but he said if they come off, they come off... but for now to focus on maintenance. I think I am finally coming to the realization that I am at a good place. I tried on several pairs of pants this weekend and I fit into 8s now, so I am happy. I am not going to buy clothes however until after plastic surgery. I don't want to have to buy a whole other wardrobe in 5 months!

As for my BF going part time, he didn't get the position so now we are waiting to see if something else comes up. He is getting pissier by the day about his job and it is frustrating because he won't take any risks to try much new. He just keeps complaining that he wants to go back to the other side of the mountains because there would be more opportunities...but when I tell him to just look for jobs then and see if he can get something over there and that we would work out the logistics later, he just shrugs his shoulders. FRUSTRATING! Now I just got a text message from him about them messing up his time so I have NO IDEA what is going on.

I will check back later tonight. I am leaving to go visit some friends tomorrow for a couple of days, then going to my nut. and I will be back Wed evening.

Happy Easyer to everyone!!!

So I'm having a rough time of it. I though I had a slip back at the end of February. I went in and they took out 1.5 cc of my 3 cc fill. I aggravated my stomache where the band is. I started taking a new liquid medecine that made me gag real bad, and I ended up dry heaving, which upset my band.

I went back 2 weeks later to get part of my fill back in, 1.2cc, so now I'm struggling to stay together.

I'm back on track today though.

Finally got my treadmill back from my mom and I walked 30 minutes, it's a start since excercising has been tough for me.

Sound like everyone is doing well. I see all the pounds lost in the last 8 months and it's motivation for me to keep going and that's why I'm here today. You all motivate me to keep going, so I'll be making a lot more stops into the Lucky's 7's to see how you all are doing.

Hope that's ok with all of you.

Have a great holiday with your familys and I'll be back soon!!

Karri - Glad you had a safe trip and can eat again - Congrats on the 9 lbs and yes I would go for the 2 more. Heck you will be a size 5 or 6 after your TT:biggrin: - Sorry about the BF & job sistuation... No Cream Eggs here just 2 pb eggs..

I can tell you one thing - Holiday's are no longer all about the food.< /p>

My DIL is coming over and we are going to cook and swim (maybe) but all she talks about is how much food - ham - potatoes - aspargess (sp)- rolls - salad - dessert - OMW I can't eat that much food - Holidays really aren't all about the food like it use to be. Why bother I can't eat much - so to me who

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
