hmmmm and coco Beans grow don't they? so technically, chocolate is a vegetable??

[vinesqueen 2]

Since coco bean make chocolate, and Beans are legumes, perphaps chocolate is a legume?

[Bright 9]

LOL- Leave it to you two to think of something else besides fruits & veggies!!! LOL LOL

But truely its a good rule to live by for sure. And yes Cocco is natural and in limited quanities good for us. So are pure grains & fruits- Its just the preparation that can turn something good into something not so good(but taste better).

If I could learn to do this I would be quite thin- but I am a lazy girl & addicted to whats fast & quick.

dear bright, you sound EXACTLY like me 10 days ago. i had my surgery may 12 2004 and have only lost 25lbs. i think even those were lost by shere will-power. i kept hearing from other bandsters that they could only eat 1-1 1/2 cups max.; that when they went out to dinner they had to know where the bathroom was in case they had to pb; not to drink Water after u eat ect. and had none of those symptoms i just thought of course this works for everybody else and not for me.anyway 10 days ago i went for my 4th fill i had 6cc and she added 1 so i'm up to 7cc. i can't begin to tell u what a difference that made. i finally feel like i have a band. explain to your doc. exactly what quantities you are able to eat at a time sometimes they really are too conservative- i'm wondering if that's about the $ the more times u have to come back the more $ for them. i explained to mine that i was actually able to eat at least 3 cups of Pasta at one meal. and she said u definetely need a fill. so i think u just have to find the right fit for u and then it'll start coming off.GOOD LUCK!!
