  1. That's not bad at all a little less than 2 dollars for a "meal"
  2. I went to the fair this past weekend and I had to choose what I wanted and whatever I got I ate 1/4 of it. You have to choose wisely what you eat so that you can make sure you're getting your protein. It actually gets easier to make good food choices after you get the band.
  3. This is a TODAY nsv.... I rode a fair ride with my nephew today! It was a car ride and I had to fit in it and I did!!!!!! Y'all I was so excited I almost cried!
  4. Oh okay. My port is above my left boob and my scar is between my chest and left underarm. That's why it felt better to me to wear a bra lol!
  5. Mine felt better when I wore a bra. Maybe that can help you...
  6. I'm due for one in the next week or so.... So it's been about 2 or 3 weeks
  7. I'm due for one in the next week or so.... So it's been about 2 or 3 weeks
  8. I have federal BCBS of georgia I wonder if it will pay for mine if I need it because I'm 24 will be 25 in January...but won't lose all I need to lose probably for another year or so. I figure since I'm so young they won't but the biggest part of my body is my stomach. What are some of the criteria y'all had to meet to get it approved?
  9. I had my surgery in April and to this day if I pull too hard it will hurt for a day or so, but it has to be real hard that I pull. The pain will go away but it took my port site about 4 weeks for the constant pain to go away now I only hurt when I strain that muscle too much.
  10. LOL! Omg that's too funny!
  11. :-) lol even thought I haven't been able to eat I have been keeping hydrated so that's good I guess lol. I've enjoyed not hearing cars, fire trucks, and ambulances haha!
  12. Tonight that's it. We have been here since Wednesday morning. Everything in my cooler is Protein but I can't seem to eat it. It's been like this since Wednesday afternoon.
  13. Not good for me.... I can't seem to consume but maybe 500 calories a day and then we are walking so much that I'm afraid I have - calories at the end of the day. Maybe I'm nervous or something or maybe need a slight unfill. Yesterday's food intake: 1 string cheese, 4 meatballs from spaghetti and meatballs (wasted that can), 2 pieces of Jerky. Couldn't do anything else. Guess I should of brought Protein shakes on this trip :-/
  14. Haha one said that bigger people caused the price of food to increase....after I saw that I really saw how ignorant those comments really are. So people wanna talk about bigger people but also want to talk down about them when they try to do right....excuse my language but if a person doesn't agree with my decision they can kiss my big and soon to be not as big ass. That's just my opinion. Lol but I do wish we could have a bit of privacy on this kind of website but it's like Facebook, employers use it before hiring someone. No privacy on the internet anywhere.
  15. What about the sugar? It says 16 g but is that right?
  16. Been banded since April 12 2013 and I started at 393. :-)
