  1. Hi all. I've been doing pretty good lately on diet so this morning when I got gas in my truck..($107.00 for a fill up! ) I decided to get a cup of Almond Joy Cappichino? Didn't even get a first sip n first left i took out of driveway, whole cup tipped out of cupholder n splashed all over dash, right seat, n carpeted floor mat n carpet on floor..light gray too:(. what a f&%#ing mess!!. I just had whole interior detailed last month too. I'm thinking that was my punishment for thinking I deserved a treat. Let tbis be a lesson for you all! thanks
  2. Yep My Dr. told me your face is the first to show weightloss. I can tell along with other people my glasses dont "dig" in to sides of my head like before.
  3. Quit drinking carbonated beverages 1/1/13. Don't miss diet pop or beer at all. Banded 3/11/13.
  4. Apple slices with some reduced fat creamy JIF pb is my go to dessert. Better than what i used to consider dessert in my "former" life!
  5. Steph04 I would'nt be too sure about that! lol
  6. Us guys don't like to hear the ladies buying "smaller" bras. lol
  7. I had my first fill today (3cc's) and now on liquids for 24hrs. Can I still take my gummy/chewable vitamins on the liquid stage?? thanks
  8. Yep i agree with Blondie. I wasnt hungry for a few days afterwards.
  9. I too had my first fill today. 3 cc's. Nothing more than a "stick" like getting a shot. Liquids for 24 hrs. then mushies for 24hrs. Starting BMI 3/11/13 was 35.7 now 32.8.
  10. Thanks maddysgram, thats a big relief!!
  11. But what happens if you lose girth from your waistline AND your penis? :( Then what???

  13. yep i buy those JIF little cups an my Wal-mart has the lowfat or fat free ones. Good as a snack with apple slices!
  14. I chew dill pickle flavor "Spitz" seeds before LB an asked Dr. after. He said no concerns but if you track your calories etc. be sure to account for them. Chewing them now as I text!!
  15. melly, you'll do just fine..no big deal. just think of those nice NORMAL bs numbers you'll start seeing on your meter like see now!
  16. Not sure what "ppo" means but I have bcbs of n.d. took about a week an half for the approval.
  17. BMI 35 n no pre-op diet here..banded 3/11/13.

  19. Hi marfar7. You can cook for me all your heart desires. How much for shipping to N.D.? lol
  20. Hi omfgmelly. Here's my nsv that i hope u will experience...in mornings my bs was always at least ur number u posted...now 6 wks. post-op its more like 80-95! today at dinnertime i had a 64! i had just came back from a nice springtime 6 blk. walk. Prior to lb, i wouldve been weak n sweating puddles being that low but i felt ok. good luck youll do well.
  21. Hi faithonly, I think u meant 2013? Good to hear from u n glad ur doing good. I'm same surg. date too n Dr. told me I am totally healed n good to go for any fitness routine. good luck!
  22. How do I make a whistle cat call in text? looking good!
  23. Belly Buster sugar-free licorice....but make sure your near a bathroom! :(!
  24. My Dr. told me most always people notice your face looks thinner first after even a small weightloss. I too have had people comment that my face seems "leaner" because bows of my glasses dont dig into sides of my head anymore! lol
  25. Hi all, I'm 6 wks. post-op. The Dr. gave me a little hourglass? Is that what you call it? But only a "minute" glass to time your bites. Used it at first because like most if you, I too have always been a fast shovel it in eater due to job timelines, breaktimes. Only problem is I'd always forget to flip it over each new minute cause I was focusing on number of chews! lol thanks
