Of course, I realize that A-Dub will now spend the rest of the day googling various combos of "Wii, controller, johnson"...

If only I had the time! :rolleyes2: :) :biggrin:

but I did go to a Water aerobics class last night, "Deep Water Workout". I am feeling it in parts of my body this morning, but will go back for the next class. It was a hoot.

Deep water workout, sounds great! I used to do "Water Running" (that is literally exactly how it sounds -- "running", neck deep in water, without touching the bottom of the pool) and I loved it. I should actually get back into it! When it's not so cold.

Hey Fenton,

A quick "Protein shake clarification" - do you peel your bananas BEFORE you freeze them? I didn't quite think it through yesterday when I chucked my bananas in the freezer, then spent a good 10 minutes trying to peel the goddamn frozen banana for my shake this morning! Not for the faint-hearted!

Or I may just be a wimp. It's highly possible.

Haha! Not that you're NOT a wimp, but I quickly discovered that a frozen banana is almost impossible to peel - you really learn a lot about the structure of a banana that way.

I buy bananas a half dozen at a time - in the US, at least where I shop, they're always unripe, so I leave them to ripen (almost to overripeness, actually), then peel them and freeze them.

Right, that's it!

I'm putting on the iPod and getting on the Wii Fit!

Hi Everyone.

I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I haven't been writing, but I have been reading. I, too, am doing well. I have managed to lose a total of about 30 pounds since March 25, and that includes weekends in both New York and New Orleans. I have no restriction, but I am trying to hold off on a first fill until I stop losing weight on my own. Am I the only one who hasn't gotten a fill yet? I keep going back and forth and would love to hear from others who have yet to be filled!

Anyway, summer is in full swing, kids are in camp, and I am getting into a new excercise routine...no wii fit for me either,but I am tempted!

Keep up all the good and hard work!

Erika

By the way,

I also wanted to share that I have found the ABSOLUTE best tasting Protein Powder on the planet. I am very picky and promise you that it is awesome tasting. I get mine at GNC and it is called Max Protein, but not all GNCs carry it. I guess each store is individually owned and operated,but ask your local store and if they don't carry it, they can make arrangements to get it. The have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I am all about the chocolate and make a shake every morning. If you want/need more info. I'd be happy to share. I don't endorse many things, but this is in a class all by itself!

Geez, I've been gone a long time! When I logged in it showed my last log in as 4-25, so almost 2 months! I'm really happy to hear everyone is doing well, and I need to get caught up on my reading. I've just been skimming today.

So far I've had 4 fills, up to 6.5 cc's and have lost 33 pounds so far. My last fill was the one that did the trick. Hadn't been losing much up until then, but I got the last one on Wednesday of last week and in 6 days I lost 9 lbs.! (Whoo-Hoo!) But I'm starting to notice that I've lost some restriction but I'm scheduled to go back on July 7th so we'll see where I'm at then.

Just have to say that I LOVE "having" to buy new pants because my old (size 24, gasp!) are falling off and I don't even have to unbutton them to get them on and off anymore! (Lucky Hubby, tho! Which in that I've noticed a big difference too! I feel a lot sexier and I am now lighter than when we first started dating.)

Anyhoo, sorry this is long but I've missed all you guys!

      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.
