Thanks everyone. Good to know : )

Huh... I don't know. I'll have to ask.

Yeah... OUCH!

I was wondering if any of you have tried to eat popcorn and how did it go? I don't recall my doctor specifically saying that I can't eat popcorn...

I'm sorry, but if you think you're going to fail you probably are.

I've read that you should divide your weight by 2 and that's how many ounces of water you should be drinking. So I'm 238 pounds so I should be drinking 119 ounces of water.

My cousin is having the same problem with Insanity... I think it's making her insane.

You guys are making me want a ball!!

I'm only down 39 pounds, but I already feel like I've lost weight. I can move more freely and my clothes are starting to hang on me (haven't bought anything new yet) so I can definitely feel it. But I'm kind of weird, I never thought of my weight as an issue. I never felt over weight. I'd see people who were my height and weight and be like "Wow, that's a big girl" and never thought I looked like that. So I guess that in my mind I've never been a big girl, even though I've been overweight since I was a baby. I think that so much of our weight issues are mental and by thinking that we're big we ARE big. Does that make any sense?

Great tips Steve, thanks for posting this. I've found that if I eat the cracker thin crust I can have pizza. I've yet to try to eat bread, my doc told me not to so I don't. Also said no rice or pasta, haven't even tried. Why people would do it I will never know. To put yourself through this surgery (many paying cash out of pocket to have it done) and then not do what needs to be done to lose the weight. Simply amazing!

Same here, much better sex. I think it has a lot to do with the hormones. Before the band I didn't care if we did it or not, no sex drive. Now I can definitely say it has returned.

I'm embarrassed to say... I went to the doc's on Monday and found out that it's my port! Doh!! Yep, I've lost enough weight that I can feel it just by running my hand over my skin, not even pressing. The doc says I have nothing to worry about, just to brag LOL

I was glad to see so many of you able to swallow pills. I've been getting killer head aches and been too afraid to try to take whole pills. My doc said liquid caps should be okay, so I finally got some today. We'll see how it goes.
