Well, then, time to switch back to Water, just add lemon LOL. No, I don't always wait an hour - excuse: I try to get all my water in by 3:00 or else Im up Pee-ing ALL night. I will switch up and wait the hour!

So many rules! I guess its a trade off, rules need to be followed to be thin - not trying to get skinny!

Hey reggie, is there any difference between lemon and lime? I prefer Limes? more cals or carbs or something...?

[Desperate1 1]

I agree with Reggie, Candra, you are there your scale just doesn't know it yet! Knock some sense into that thing . . . . better yet, make it have the chat with Heather's scale! Mine needs to be at that group scale chat, too.

[riley4183 0]

yeah me Candra, I'm supposed to be working . . but I am on the incoming phone line for an hour, and it's not ringin', so I'm typin'!!!

I know I said I was gonna take it easy today but I have 7.4 miles already . . jeez I just can't stop!

[Desperate1 1]

I'm tellin you I'm all over the group scale chat - it's time to tell them who's boss!

I have decided NOT to weight myself until my appt with the endocrinologist on the 21st - hahaha - yes, my husband WILL be spending his birthday at the doctors with me - happy b-day honey! LOL

Riley Jane I'm gonna need a complete list of your Vitamins & things - I NEED your energy! Or else I'm going back on my asthma primatine tabs - ephedra baby!

[Desperate1 1]

My phones aren't ringing either! No work to be done I guess - I don't file or anything else so... why not chit chat online hehehe

Ha! candra, my Vitamin = 1 flintstones complete. I get over 100% of my Calcium from soy milk, so I don't even take them - just a flintstones! Walking in the AM is how I energize for the day :-)

I used to take a lot more stuff, some of it was kinda speedy I loved it at the time but frankly, I have more energy overall without any of it. Atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide, concerta, wellbutrin . . . . the last 2 were definately speedy for me! Kinda miss the wellburtin, but not the rest of it.

Oh and I got more energy when I cut out caffeine, I found out it actually stimulated my appetite, that is how I lost the last 13 lbs. pre-op - gave up coffee! I have an occasional cup accidently now, and I am SO wired I feel like I'm going to DIE

Thanks Nicole. I have been sleeping all day. Just got up and tried to eat but it is not happening. My band feels really tight today. I think it is because I am sick...........only thing working today is the light yogurt which is a slider but oh well.

I wanted to go check out the sketchers today but not happening maybe this weekend. Looks like most places don't carry the mary janes........but I did find shape up flip flops at the famous footwear site. 45 dollars I would rather just have the shoes for that much.

Ok I am not sure about coming tomorrow I will see how is goes in the morning.

Tina poor baby! I thought you must be sleeping . . .I am too tight when I wake from a nap. So go on liquids for the day, so what? You're sick! I would make you a nice Decaf soy chai if I was there :-(

LOl, you are cute! Once you start it gets easier to remember. I am so stubborn, so I made up my mind that I would start this whole water thing from orientation and haven't done otherwise since.

[swrktp 1]

Well the good thing is I am not hungry. Just not excited to hang out at home when I have so much to do but that is how it goes.

I just got yogurt for my daughter yesterday so I have enough of that around for now........not that whe is to happy to share!! I quit eathing yogurt a few weeks back when Robin said no more..........but I really like it

Hello Everyone! I miised y'all so much !!

I am so glad to write that I am able to log in now. I had some computer issues but all is ok now.

So I read that all of you are doing well, that's awesome!.

Family and I just got back from Disneyland and boy I wished I was 50 lbs lighter after all that walking..I couldnt keep up at times. I still have my appointment with Dr. Baggs on July 31st. I am concered becuase I am only down from 256 at orientation to current 240. I hope I can lose a lot more before I see Dr. Baggs.

Candra thanks for the tip on the computer issue I had think that worked. I'm trying to add a picture so that you can all see a face with the name. TTYL and god bless.

Hey Maria, welcome back! You will lose another 10 easy before your Dr. Baggs appt. at month's end - and you will be fast-tracked! They love us :-)

Tina are you feeling any better yet? I watch the Hallmark channell when I get sick, helps me sleep on and off all day LOL . . last time I was sick they were playing a day-long marathon of "Roseanne" you call fall asleep and not miss anything, since they were pretty much all the same! I like Cosby show best tho :-)

D - 2 cups spring mix with 1 egg and 2 tbsps. parmesan

YES that is a LOT of food, and I am STUFFED but it has to last me! I need to have a soy milk with 1/2 serving of soy Protein Powder still today to get my 900 cals (I excercise too much to go lower!) and 60 g of Protein in . . too stuffed for it now, so looks like it will be a snack before bed.

Not sure if I'm going to go work out & swim tonight or not . . . feeling like laying in bed reading a book!

[swrktp 1]

I am feeling a bit better. Still gonna chill tonight.

Maria you will love Dr. Baggs. You will have to tell him you are part of the Lapband group he knows all of us!! I think we embarrass him a bit .............but I think he likes our group. He will love that our hanging out with us.

I started at 254 and only had to lose 12 pounds for surgery. bUT i Actually lost 25 pounds so I hit my 10%. I waite six weeks after I hit goal to get surgery so I could go to Africa for three weeks. Dr. Baggs told me to go to Africa .....I almost cancelled for surgery. He said you can have this surgery anytime so I just waited until after my trip. I was so WORTH it.

I think the reason I onlyhad to lose 12 is that I am bottom heavy. I don't care my weight on my stomach, more my butt and hips but I don't really know what the formula is............you might be ok and you will have three weeks so you will be down 20 for sure.

Ah Disneyland I went in November and it so wore me out I had to go back to the motel early to sleep.........that is when I knew I had to get surgery. I can't believe I paid to go to Disneyland and than couldn't stay all day!! I so remember that two days after I got back I got the referral from my PCP.........
