i use whey extreme from walmart also in chocolate...dr approved...i love the taste and its 28 grams a scoop of protein..works for me..find one you like and enjoy..i tried many and some ended up in drain..

to fail is to not try or give up and not listen to your doctor. if you want this as you say you do, then do not let anything stop you. want it bad enough to accept no excuses..you can do it..

i agree lassie, how are you hon?

dixie here for roll call

getting a band (wont magically make anyone lose weight). granted you could do well on the pre and post op liquid diet as a jump start, but if you watch what you eat and keep ypur (eye on the prize) heck yeah you can win it and win it fairly.....by eating less and exercising...seems fair to me

you are so bad..

labels (again)...here, is is my labels my highest weight i was super morbid obese about 4 months post op i went to morbid obese i am still (obese) morbid or not i have no idea but i guess yeah..when i get to 199, i will still be obese because of my height. the term obese does not affect me or offend me as i know what i look like and weigh...what concerns me is my health. the numbers will change and the (labels) will too. i do not believe anything was said in error or should have been took as such and why some panties got in a wad is beyond me. i am sure no one meant to say anything to offend anyone. that is my opinion only.

right now i am wanting to get under 200 (199) and that is still considered obese. i am 5'2 on a good day.....my dr's numbers goal weight for me is about 140 if i remember correctly. i am trying not to get all hung up on (numbers). i am right now trying to get to a number i am happy with and i know if i keep going, who knows maybe i can get to that dr's goal. i am not gonna spend alot of excess energy over it. i am more focused on health and me being more mobile. each to their own.

dont think me wuvs you no more...............

WLS is major. Its not a game. Whining and crying is not solving the issue. Cheryl, thank you for again posting common sense. I call my dr all the time, even if it is stupid, to me its NOT. Each to their own. I intend to make my band a success story.

itchy means healing...that what my dr said (and i know when my tats were healing, they itched like crazy) i guess i looked like a bear rubbing my back side up on a tree in the woods...

we have a wee lake house (my shanty) on a local lake here that we go to on weekends (about 45 min from my house) and hub ties me to the pier on my floatie (true story) and i am out there all day....he'd come check on me every so often, bring me more beer LOL cant wait til it opens up...

i love the coast.....god i love the ocean.....i love the heat gimme summer time all the time... i must have been a piece of sand or something in another life.

i also slept in my bed first night home (with a pillow near where my port was)

i was excited when we moved there those cities are pretty and i loved the 4 seasons. in mn, i remember on the weather channel on new years eve the scroll at the bottom said -79 below w/wind chill..... that was the coldest i ever been in.... its true, the wind makes it colder that is true. and your skin....dry dry dry. use to bath my baby son in bath with baby oil to keep his skin soft.

i am in cords and a sweater (yes both too big but i love the baggy) and whining about the 34 degrees outside....you'd think i have frostbite on my hands by now

child i be a wuss no doubt... hub was stationed in detroit and minneapolis and boy was it cold.. i respect mother nature.. but it was pretty when it snowed..the ice storms were scary though

every day, we get a (new start)....as long as you start (or begin again) you are a winner. that saying about the first step being the hardest is true. so you took it. so keep on walking....(dont look back as it no need) as the future is in front of you.

just keep drinking/sipping and using soup until i was able to use my shakes again.....i know for me, SF popsicles were a saving grace to me.

i told my hub (and a few close friends).......did have to tell some people at work (the HR, the VP who i did NOT want to tell because its private and the VP tends to run her mouth to other employees about (so called private stuff)...i would have preferred hub not to tell his mom/dad but he did and oh well...i have been lucky to have a good support unit with friends/family...as for waiters etc...i do not eat out (only once since banded) and when we did it was no big deal. as for food left over, kudo's to the ole man as he'd never leave anything left behind..as he said, he paid for it, he be eating it. silly.... *if someone says, my you look awesome or have lost weight, how are you doing it? tell the truth....i am eating better food and exercising. no need to go into details unless you want too. just my opinion.

30 below? and here i am whining about 30 degrees.......i hang my head in shame

in the a.m., i am just not in the mood for food... imagine that from me....who should have had my own drive thru lane at mcdonalds....anyhow, every day i drink my chocolate shake (28 grams per scoop) and i like knowing its good for me (protein wise) and then i just start my day and eat when hungry...gotta love the band...life is way better

i would gander you are okay...but this is/was major surgery. just call your dr/nurse and run it by them and get their opinion. congrats on your new life with the band.

well , add me to the list.......didnt know i had one until i woke up and the dr told me... so if they can fix it during surgery, seems the way to do it but am no dr... if i was i'd def be driving a pink corvette

you are sexy with or without it. wear it or not...your health is what matters. he loves YOU (and the mask). :wub:
