Geez I Love it for someone to understand and know. I wish I had joined this site when I was first banded!!! It just doesn't make sense though the stuff bad for you goes down no problem, could eat it all day. Then when you try to eat nutritional you fight with. That is why I was sharing with people I have found a protein shake I Love.. so it has recently put me back on track, and looking at labels. Yeah!

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry.Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a ...single word we said. Yesterday is gone. The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow. With its possible adversities, Its burdens, Its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.This just leaves only one day . . . Today. Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore live but one day at a time. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34

Glad you liked it, I love this quote!! In so Many Ways!

I have talked to so me people and they say the same thing salsa and chips go down. Doesn't make sense!! Check my site I have a wonderful quote for us banders about one day at a time. So true and if we make a bad choice only we can change it. We are the ones in control!! Have a Happy Bander Kind Of Weekend!!

Will be here when you get home.

You'll do great!!

Hey love, I do have thin hair and I am on alot of medicine, I truly didn't no more than usually. I have started using this new type hair shampoo it is like the Wen product you see all over late commercials but I get it at Sally's and it has seemed to help quite a bit. The Biotin now that rings a bell and I will say no but I do get it in my shakes and multiple Vitamins. I forgot what is Biotin for, I do remember seeing that somewhere. The episodes of being stuck, in the beginning they were scary just because you are not use to it and will take you by surprise. Chew Chew Chew and eat slow, because if you don't your body will let you know. Don't be afraid it is not that bad, sometimes if I feel it coming on, I just stop and breath. Sometimes if you stand up it helps. Alot times if I can get a light burp, it seems to come from the other side of the band it will adjust and move what is blocking hole. Too funny never had to explain it. First time it happens might panic you, and if it has to come up it is usually just clear. Sometimes it all had to come up though, but try hard not to do that to much because possible slippage of your pain. Don't worry about that now though you are a few months down the road from that. You'll get home from hospital and think that was nothing, but when you get home you are slowly modifying the way eat and live. Don't be disappointed first month or so not much different but slowly you will have fills and that's where you will see unbelieveable positive changes. You have a new Birthday as I tell my family! Honestly I do not feel deprived at all! I mean through my two years tried bread and found that doesn't work real well. Love pizza and will get thin crust, I use to eat a large Dominos by myself one sitting. Well now I am lucky to even get one thin crust piece down, one reason is it just gets clogged. So you learn this and honestly when you have this problem you don't want it anymore. Steak not a good idea!! I honestly have truly lived on chili, but that is me I am a women of habit. You know truly everyone is different some people can eat things I can't and vice versa. It is all learning your body, lapband, etc. Trust me, you are going to do fantastic!! You are the one driving the boat as they say, and it is all at your own pace. .I have gone Thanksgiving and holidays and have been able to try alittle bit of everything. You will See! Good Luck! Sweetie Don't worry you will do great. In the beginning not any major adjustments because you have to heal. I really had no pain. God Bless!

Dang you are doing fantastic! You Go Girl!

You are going to do fantastic, do not be nervous. Such an easy surgery, I had no major pain. Good Luck Sweetie!

Wow that is fantastic!! I am working on getting back on track! It is amazing how fast it drops, but I have been at a stand still for a year, I know what I am doing wrong though, I am working out the kinks for this new Spring body!

Amen! Yelp I remember that menu... somehow it passes.. stick to the menu and schedule you will do fantastic!

Honestly everyone is different they just stretch it a bit with this menu ... It is no big deal.. but of course that is me talking 2 years out.. don't let this schedule worry you.. you will fiqure out a routine for the next 6 weeks after surgery.. You will do great! Good Luck!

How many sleep days now? trust me surgery is truly nothing! Good luck!

Caramel OMG I Love It and so remember the thought What the Hell was I thinking!! Those thoughts go away when the pounds start dropping. I am over 2 yrs out and trying to get back on course. Love you post!! Keep on walkin'

There are so many fantastic recipes, but when I find one I love I do that till I'm sick of it. Now if these protein tastin' parties could just fiqure one with rum for the weekends I would be set! LOL

See if you stick to the chocolate shake you are limited. Plus I found so many that tasted so chemical. The one I drink is really good, check it out!! Go to the coffee aisle and get some of those syrups sugarfree, OMG I think I could drink the caramel by itself. LOL If you want chocolate you can do it with the sugarfree instant cocoa.

I have tried them all, I have found one I am truly wild about, taste list sweet cream (cake batter) and I know 100's of recipes. I joined this site that promotes it, but also gives you support, recipes, etc.. Check my web page, the4y are truly delicious! It is a shake that taste good alone yet you can still doctor it up., I use decaf instant coffee, caramel sugarfree syrup (coffee aisle) powder cocoa, almond milk or skim, 2 scopps of my powder and OMG taste like you just left starbuck's. I love this site, and it gives you options of getting it free. We have protein tasting parties kind of like the old tupperware, and you learn so much. Really getting popular, but you need to find a shake you truly enjoy!

I hate to say this but even after losing alot of the weight I still feel that fat person in my head. I guess "I Got Issues" LOL

Too Funny Just said the same thing further down the page, I guess I should have read on..

NJ When I get sick, if I do It is usually the clear slime, which my nurse said that is the Fluid around stomach wall. Another thing I do constantly is lightly belch, almost like an air pocket in a sink. Have you been getting any nutrition from your Protein Shakes, because what you are living on as we know is not good. And if your appt isn't till 13th, that's not good! Make youself a good shake, and sip it slowly.I know so many recipes. I lived on sugar for a year and it was not a good thing. Why on earth does sugar like Girlscout cookies good down so easily!! I would eat them till I was deathly ill.Missing my girlscout cookies thus far this year!! LOL

Cocoa I do remember that!!
