Im hungry between meals. After 3 hours. I think I want a fill. I have an appointment the day before thanksgiving but I'm going to call Monday and see if they'll do it sooner. Im a month and a half out from surgery. Hopefully she allows one!

Yes!!!!! I had a mini sip of sprite last night. Holy crap, sugar overload and that carbonation was almost disgusting. Thank god I didn't take a real sip lol!

Today I went to chilis and I ordered the mango-chile tilapia without the rice. It was delicious and I only ate 1/2 the meal even with an empty band! 215 calories and 16 grams of protein!

You are exactly right.
It's unfortunate so many people have drunk the Obamacare kool aid and refuse to see the facts.

GNC total lean - 25 grams per bottle
Isopure pre made - 40 grams per bottle
Muscle milk light - 15 per carton (small milk carton like box)

I bet Alex is getting things right before he releases the newest version on us. You wouldn't want him to roll out early and be a disaster like obamacare would you?

You look FAB! I like your hair

I will TRY to keep this short and sweet. A lot of us are new to this whole band thing. We are trying to learn so if you think our questions are dumb don't reply. No one has to be a you know what about their opinions. Everything is in moderation, good or bad. I'm a genetically fat human on top of going through the band change (5 days post op only ) give me a break. I didn't get this band to be miserable or "skinny" I refuse to cross over and be the "skinny stuck up B" I just want to be a humble me in a new healthy body. I look back and see a lot of people who started off sweet as cupcakes pre band and you now, I'm taken back. (Is this what going to happen to my sweet personality when I lose weight? ) I come here for support, something I don't get with a lapband through my family so please if you don't have something nice to say keep moving there are other people you can talk to trust me. Sincerely the freshman

There are no "good" and "bad" foods, it's a matter of what type of diet you follow and your daily calories. If it fits into your diet and you have the calories for it- go for it. Personally I eat A LOT of baked potatoes. They're my favorite carb.
Remember, moderation not deprivation.

Down another 2.8!
Weighed in at 258.4 this morning!!
Total loss so far 26.6

You look great!!!
I find myself confused on what I want my goal to be. I've always been thicker and so I thought 180, BUT that would mean 80 or so more pounds and I think losing 80 from what I am/look like now I'd be a skeleton!

I honestly have been incredibly faithful with my diet and Water and Protein. I also walk 2-3 miles a day. I don't feel cheated or deprived just happy!

My surgeon said nothing about it. I went in with pedicured toes and manicured nails lol.

I rarely get sugar cravings but I have been wanting a reece's Peanut Butter cup for a couple of weeks now. Since the craving didn't go away I had two mini Reece's cups from the small bin at a Halloween store. It was the perfect amount to curb the craving and it was less than 100 calories. Just add to your daily caloric intake and always do sweets in moderation

New pants today! I went from a size 24w to 18w in a month and one week. I almost cried in the dressing room.
