Hope it wasn't a peice of cake, 4 Cookies, 1/2 jar Peanut Butter with a spoon and 3 Snickers!!!!:o

My dog does not pull me when we ride (though he could with him weighing 100lbs). He just trots beside me and I wear him out. He is in pretty good shape for being 8 yrs old. We are fairly strict with what he eats and he has an entire 15 acres to romp on every day. Puppies have excess energy until they are about 2 and you get their "govenors" (as my DH calls them) taken. Sounds like Grandma is enjoying that new puppy!

Well it was small slice (sliver really) of ice cream cake (cal who knows0 - 1 snickers w/almonds (200 cal)- 6 ginger snaps (240 cal ;0) - reese pb cups (2)(230 cal) but not 1/2 jar of pb lol !!!!

I am liking the dog a little more - it's the puppy thing that I don't want to have to deal with ;0) too much work - I think he would do well with a bike - may just go ck the cost of them today at target..

Yep, a little easier on the knees than jogging. We got the Target flyer yesterday and they had one on sale for $150. But, Walmart had about the same bike for $99.

Well the celebrations are done and I am exhausted! The brunch went super well this morning as well. She got lots of nice things and over $1000 cash already and isn't done opening yet, they had to leave for the airport. My niece did bring over a few pics so I am attaching a couple. The first is of DD before the ceremony, note her veil she remade that from my veil of many years ago. The 2nd is me and DH. The 3rd is my DS toasting DD and her new DH and sortta cut off is her new DBIL. The last photo is DH toasting them, it's a horrible pic of me (I was a little teary eyed) but it better shows my MOB dress, there was no good photo of that in the pics she brought but it gives you an idea.

Hi All,

I fot my .4cc removed now I feel better but now I can eat stuff I could not eat before like bread.< /p>

Okay I need to control what I eat better. At least I have no more acid reflux. He still wants me to stay 1000 cal or below to keep losing. He said exercise (which I stopped really since Jan) and of If I go back to exercising hard core again weights and stuff I can bump up cal max 1200. So I bought some more Protein Shakes and yogurt and Soups with Protein I will start journaling and continue reading my beck book.

Oh I cahnaged my ticker because I gained 4 pounds I need to be truthful with my selof and all you that help me.

HELP... am freaking out! I had 2.4cc out and I am still having gurgling and pain! I didn't even eat anything solid. This a.m. I decided to get rehydrated. I drank 16 oz of Water before coffee. one coffee with cream and sugar. then a 2nd bottle of water. (drank water over 30 min period or so). Then around noon I had a cup of 1% milk. I had 1/2 cup dry Cereal with milk (let is get a little soft) and after 10 min or so got HORRIBLE pain. uuugghhhh. I am hoping it calms down. If not, I know the drill (although have never had to do it)... barium swallow, endoscopy, etc... I just pray my band hasn't slipped and that this is just swelling. But I have been on liquids (with a couple yogurts) since vomiting wed. morning! should have calmed down by now! I have a 3K deductible and just really dont want to get any of this done. Not even sure if insurance will pay- since they didn't pay for my band. Does anyone know??? I usually am calm person and starting to freak out.

If the Dr lists the procedure not having to do anythihng to do with the band it should cover it. Meaning just stomach issues but you will have to ask the Dr office.

Maybe what you drank was to cold. Try warm or hot Water that might help. As far as the milk I am not sure on that one.

So I was reading on Dr Oz website one of the things you can do to cut the sugar and Creamer out of your coffee is to do the following

In your coffee pot: Brew your morning coffee with a cinnamon stick or vanilla bean and ditch the flavored Creamers. Just 1 tablespoon of flavored creamer can add 6 grams of sugar

Has anyone tried this. Do you use a whole stick or just sprinkle Cinnamon in your cup? Were do you get a vanille bean from?

Hmmmm.... where WOULD one get a vanilla bean???

Have you tried the sugar free flavorings??

Laura... what kind of cereal?? I bought some shredded wheat a month or so ago, but when I tried to eat it... softened it up with soy milk. It went down fine... but then seemed to swell up and I pb'd most of it.

Janet, I think I'm going to head for DHS and do some shopping, too. Earl is packing up the RV already! Told him we have 10 days, but he insists he has to start NOW! So I think I'll just get out of here!! He is redoing his canned goods inventory for openers!! But I've asked him to put all my books in one place so I can organize them, too. Maybe I'll even INVENTORY my books!! LOL! But I know I'm in for a count if he gets them out for me. He's going to tell me how many books I have, probably how many purses I have in the RV, how many hats and how many pairs of shoes! I hate when that happens! LOL

Phyll...when DH gives me crap about shoes, purses and clothes...I just tell him you can never have enough just like the tools of his trade. I tell him he was a good teacher. I've even offered to do an inventory for him.:o

I know you know this, but have you been tested for a bacteria in your stomach? I would go to your lap band doctor and get a cash estimate for the test. I get a discount for services from my surgeon when it is cash. Doesn't hurt to ask.

      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.
