I just passed a co-worker that I don't see on a daily basis in the hallway. She looked at me and smiled and said Have you lost weight? I hugged her neck!

Congratulations, Blossom! Remember, for everyone who pays you a compliment, there are at least two other people who have noticed your transformation but aren't saying anything. You are off to a great start!

Thanks ya'll!

Paula, I have some restriction but I don't think I am really where I need to be, yet. I think I need just a tad more. I want to get another fill, but I so don't wanna have to fight my dr about it and I know I will have to. He's pretty new to this lapband thing and I think I kinda freaked him out by already having 3cc's.

Oh well, I guess I will call next week. I will have to talk to his patient coordinator to schedule the appointment and every time I have done that she's like "Um....well, what kind of food are you eating?" to which I always answer Real food. Then she says, "Well, um...you're not eating like...chicken fried steak are you?" I just wanna smack her when she says that! I think this time I will answer, Hell yes! And it's not IF I have eaten chicken fried steak, but how the hell MUCH of it I can eat!!! LOL!

Yes, I finally ate the forbidden chicken fried steak last weekend and let me tell you it was wonderful! Anybody visiting the North Texas area should really look up Babe's Fried Chicken Restuarant. It's an experience you won't soon forget!

Blossom, you just reminded me, I noticed you are from Denton, Tx. I lived in Carrollton from '85 to '91 and graduated from UNT in '91. My sister went to Lewisville HS. Things have changed so much since we lived there I'm sure I can't get around anymore. I have family in Leonard, so I'll be visiting the area sometime this year, I hope. Anyway, Hello to Denton for me and great NSV! It will happen more and more, just be so proud!

Blossom, cool NSV! I bet you'll be the first bandster to get whistled at! I've seen how pretty you are!

Michelle, what kind of foods do you prepare in your restaurant? chicken fried steak is my sons' very favorite w/homemade mashed potatoes and cream gravy, and fried okra. Boy, that sounds like a perfect bandster meal, doesn't it? NOT!

Kathy, you just wouldn't believe how much Denton has changed in the last 5 years alone! It has gone from sleepy little college town to a full fledge suburb with traffic snarls everywhere and frustrated residents. I long for what it used to be. And, OMG!!! UNT just keeps building and building! And so does TWU. Yep, if you come back to Denton, you will definitely feel a little lost, LOL!

LOL! Marie, you're being WAY too optimistic with the whistles!!! I'm voting Michelle gets the first whistle! Girl, your new avatar is so cute and I love the new hairstyle!!!

Marie I eat 1/2 chicken fried steak everyday for breakfast with 2 scrambled eggs, it stays in my pouch for a long time..My restaraunt is breakfast and lunch..everything is home made, we have the best homemade corned beef hash and we make our own cinnamom rolls with gooy white creamcheese frosting..It is like a diner type..large portions

Thanks Blossom for the compliments on my hair, it was actually just thrown up in a clip that day but Iam getting a new hairdo today and some color..and yes I'm loving the attention I have a 22yrold customer who has a crush on me..it is very flattering but I told him Iam old enough to be his mother and Iam married..he doesnt seem to care about either of them

      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.
