I had four Hershey kisses last night. I logged the calories wasn't over my limit but I know I had them cuz of TOM. They've been on the counter for weeks and then I HAD to have one (ok four) last night. Ugh.

Lots of times snopes.com can tell you if some thing is a scam. Or google the name plus scam and see what comes up.

Try measuring your food every chance you get. You'll learn portion sizes that way. I went through a buffet the other day. Then actually measured my food and had 1/2 cup of diced chicken, 1/4 cup rice and 1/4 cup of mixed veggies. I'm getting so much better at judging. You will too.

DFW area sizes 16-20 clothing
blondegal_ replied to Ashleigh Childress's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm in DFW. And am interested in the 18-20s. Don't rush for me. PM me when you get some pics of those. -
It could be allergies if its just appearing. I've had circles under my eyes my whole life. When I'm irritated with allergies they get worse.

I'm interested but if someone else really needs them I'll forgo. Just let me know if no one else shows interest. -
Go to a resale shop. New outfit but only a little money spent. I too was banded 12/19. Down 35lbs and just one size. So I haven't bought anything new. Just been shopping in my closet.

Spaghetti Squash?
blondegal_ replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does it come frozen? Recently found butternut squash in the frozen foods section and was so happy. -
How many calories are allowed on the hgc diet? Its prolly the calorie restriction that makes a person lose weight.

Questions for the "regulars" on here....Mis73, chez or any others?
blondegal_ replied to PJ Geeser's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I recently read that if a person does not accurately track calories they easily underestimate by 20%. So you might try a little experiment. Write down how many calories you think you consumed and then go look it up. I recently flipped when I realized the ranch dressing on my salad (served to me at business meeting) had at least 200 calories. -

How about- "when the time comes that will be a discussion between me and my doctor". And then don't say any more about it. -
How do I make butternut squash fries?
blondegal_ replied to meyouus's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
As for spicing them up I use season salt and cinnamon. Add cayenne for extra kick. -
Sorry you're still not feeling well. Hope you get it figured out!

Did your doctor check T3/T4 levels? Look up hypothyroidism. Some things you said could be caused by that.

Just delete their comments. Maybe they'll get the hint. -
How Much Time Off Work?
blondegal_ replied to cflick's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took two full weeks. Returned to work on Thursday and was glad to have the weekend after two days. I did have a hernia fixed and plication and don't really know if that's the difference but I still couldn't drive after one week cuz a wave of pain could hit and I would just need to sit still until it passed. I've never had any other surgeries/procedures to compare this to. -
Every doctor is different about the amount.
-
I was just thinking the same thing. Pretty sure it is cuz I had a hernia repaired but so glad the heartburn is gone.

Before were you consuming sugar and/or caffeine? I found drinking some weak tea helped with headache as before I had had caffeine every day.

December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!

Are you getting in a lot of protein? Not getting enough protein seems to be related to hair loss. -
Next meeting is tomorrow. There's only a fee if there's a lot of us but we haven't reached that number yet. And the fee is for the coffee shop saving us space but can be offset by buying drinks and such.
