WOW! That sounds amazing!!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing this! I love pumpkin recipes... I am definitely going to have to try it.. it is great for everyone too not just us bandsters

What is pumpkin chili?? sounds yummy!!!

For me to get to the normal bmi i have to lose almost 200 pounds!! I am scared because I just don't know if it is possible for me.. I want it to be and I am going to try my best, but that is A LOT of weight..

I got chewable calcium from GNC.. They are called "be-balanced...bone strengethening calcium" they taste like candy...mine are dulce de leche flavor but they may come in other flavors not sure... they are calcium with vitamin d-3.. they are 15 calories each and you must take 2 a day for a total of 30 calories a day

Thank so much Corianna.. You are doing an awesome job!!! Keep up the great work!

thanks b52.. i have been overweight my whole life so unfortunatley my high school weight is not so low hehe it is a lot better than what i am now though

Thanks Cheri..I see my surgeon next week so I will ask him about it..I am being banded two weeks from today...congrats on your weightloss..Good job!

just wondering how everyone came up with a goal weight...i have not been banded yet, but i am just thinkin about it and i have no idea how i will take to the band.. i don't want to set a goal for myself that i will never reach..any suggestions?

wow!!! over 250 pounds lost!! That is amazing..great job!

mmmm peacan piessss...i gotta stop thinkin about food hahaha

Thanks Chrissy..i will have to try it.. i LOVE sugar in the raw...Have you tried the baking kind yet?

how is the stevia in the raw? is it like sugar in the raw?

I am March 9th too!! Two weeks from today!!! I feel the same as you... just want to get it done and over with.. I have bronchitis right now so I am really hoping my surgery date will not be pushed back because of it.

Ok thanks! I will check there

That sounds soooo yummy!!!

Where do you find the Any Whey? I am looking for a flavorless protein just to add to other things for variety

March is getting closer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe

wow! I didn't realize the fills were that much money!!!!

I was the same way you are.. Before my surgery was approved I was panicking they would not approve it. I have Horizon BC/BS and had no other medical issues and was approved (I have since found out I have sleep apnea though). You have other medical problems so it shouldn't be a problem for you to get approval. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone with the insurance approval anxiety. Good luck Lisa! Lisa

You are definitley not a fatty thinking about the last meal.. I am thinking about what I want to eat now that I know I will not be able to have for awhile.. I am thinking maybe pizza before because I heard some people have problems with that..

You probably don't have to get a note saying specifically why you will be out of work other than it being a medical reason.. i would think that is against some type of HIPPA laws unless you want to give them the exact medical reason.. not sure, but check with your doctor

Thanks Princess!!!!.. I know once we see results all this hard work will be worth it.. Good luck on March 2nd!

Lean Shake at GNC is pretty yummy.. they taste kind of like chocolate milk... Also, if you ask in GNC they should have a sample for you to try.. at least they did in the one by me

Hello!! I am being banded on March 9!!!! I have just been waiting and want to get it over as soon as possible. Now that it is getting closer to my date I am getting really anxious and scared. Is anyone else? I know it is defiinetly what I want and need to do.
