I wish getting a fill was the magic answer. The things I eat that I know I shouldn't have nothing to do with how much of a fill I have. Ice cream is a biggie.I could be tighter than is humanly safe and I would still crave ice cream and be able to eat it if I gave into the cravings.

The gym is no magic answer for me either. I can still go to the gym and do so well up until a certain point, then eat junk food all evening long. Sometimes I thing being revised to a sleeve is the magic answer (if I had the money) but I am told you can eat candy just fine with a sleeve too.

I need to go back and look at the name of the book that was suggested to order off Amazon. If it's helpful, then I need that book! It's my head that needs the help. Like I have read before, too bad it's not our brains that get banded.

She was really mad when she called my husbands cell phone when he was driving in DC where it is illegal to talk on the cell phone. A policeman tapped on the car window to tell my husband to get off the phone. When he told her he had to go she was PISSED! We have never heard from her again. :thumbup: It is sad.

now thats just pathetic... should have had the cop talk to HER..

:girl_hug:Susan big hugs to you. I would print what you posted and show your Dr. how you are feeling. Like one of the post suggested talk to the dietitian at your Dr.s office. Get a slight fill. I can't say anything about exercise cause I am sporadic at best. But I do make a conscience effort to park away from the store or any where else so I have to walk. I try standing more in the house when I am here. They say every little bit helps. I wish you luck Susan.

Welcome back Brandy! Glad to see you.:thumbup:

Plain - you had to be taught how to multi-post. The student does NOT surpass the teacher. Dream on.

Isn't there supposed to be a "As soon as you can snatch the pebble from my hand" moment to determine that?

Basically they had a better invitation. They went to his cousin's house instead.

I bet the cousin was pissed that they "won" the MIL lottery, eh?

I would invite them next year and be sure you are going somewhere else. When they get to your house and nobody is there...

Mental note to self...."Do not cross Beth"

Hey! Look who showed!

Where ya been, BBK???

Sheesh, quit being such a stalker, SNT! :thumbup:

:tt2::tt2::tt2::tt2: i did. still wanted to sleep; check challenge thread......hmmm another male here; won't plain be jealous..

Nah, Ceradad is way cool. He does bench more than me, tho.

Oooh, manfight! I'm dreaming of guys looking like the 300 cast fighting for the honor of we wimmin. :)

Uh, I'm aware that this is probably an offensive comment, but......straight guys wouldn't dress like that.

wooooooohoooooooo! I can just imagine those men....but plain?:cool2:

Hey! I can totally hear you!

Hi ceradad

I said we need another guy in here...but no football talk yuck..I come here to get away from that.

No football?!? No way! Football rules. My beloved Longhorns have gotten screwed. Big-time screwed.

I'm back from my vacation. I got to ride the Tower of Terror FOUR TIMES. Woot, woot!

Awesome. Sounds like loads o' fun!

I can neither confirm or deny. Plus, I plead the fifth.......of tequila.:mellow:

Busted!

Gray hair on my head - fine. Even the white patch is ok. Gray hair elsewhere including my chinny chin chin is unacceptable. It must go.

Tap, sounds like a veiled confession of gray pubic hair. Sorry, I had to. It's my job.

My MIL, for the most part is a very loving woman---but there are times she gets on my very last nerve and jumps up and down really well for an 80 year old woman!

Through the years I have figured her out somewhat. #1 she does not want to be outdone in any way. If my DH says I cooked something he liked----she will cook it for him soon, and do something, anything to try to improve upon it! #2 in the beginning, years ago, if he mentioned a dish she cooked he liked, I would ask her how or for the recipe....and quickly learned she would NEVER, give the entire thing to me, she always holds out so hers is how he likes it etc.

She is the Queen of subtle put downs! My SIL, her DD and I were banded together, and I will NEVER compare to how well she looks, and how well she does things! Which is expected, that IS her DD and I am the DIL---but rather than build her up, she tears me down!

One thing it has taught me.....I am VERY nice to my DIL, and SIL's!!!!

But ya know, should I live to be 80+ I might just decide to say whatever the hell strikes me too!!! LOL

Yeah, me too.

I imagine Plain in the mirror, sucking in the gut and throwing out the chest, growling like a bear and admiring the results. I mean, there IS a new guy marking his territory around here, y'know. :biggrin:

and how do the innards look??

Ha! Like innards, I supposed! I had an audience. There was my surgeon, the assistant (?), and two students!!! As you all probably have realized, I am very easily amused. I looked at the "picture" and said, "Are those half circles the underwire on my bra?!?" My doctor asked if I wanted a picture of them!!! He tries so hard to remain professional but I'm always cracking jokes so he kids every once in a while!

He had me swallow that liquid and completely filled my band. I thought I was gonna PB. It was eww! Once the doctor showed, I was in and out in probably 10-15 minutes!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
