Quahog

Research research research. I am glad I picked the band, but keep an open mind to other choices. A great doctor and support staff was most important to me. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the idea sherrintxs, I just downloaded tge app and will use it tomorrow.

3+3+0 felt crumby today Can't just report the good and hide the bad. Anybody walk today? Does anyone mall walk? Never tried it but thought in summer humidity it might be a good idea.

Add me to your frustrated r us group please. My surgery was in Dec. and talk about slooooow to loooooose. Last fill my doctor said, in some cases restriction is never felt!! That was a major tissue visit. But I have lost, some is beyter than nothing, have to keep trying. But it's early for you. The weight loss possibilities are endless. I am betting on you!!

I look in a mirror and it might as well be the kind in a fun house. Still look short and stout.

Glad I made you laugh too! I always figure there are 3 types of banders: cheaters, noncheaters, and cheaters that don't confess. I'm catholic, so not only do I confess, I do penance!!!!

No good deed goes unpunished. (hope I got that right) Take care of yourself today.

Protizyme Protein shakes. (especially chocolate cake flavor) Pure Protein Bars Turkey slices(oscar mayer brand) thin, moist, I like them better than deli sliced. Greek yogurt These are my main protein sources. I find it super hard to stay below 1000 cals. Good luck.

What about putting the chix salad in individual serving containers. Eat all or nothing, and maybe you will stay away from it or be forced to track it. Spoon and the fridge. Gotten me in trouble many times.

Like the last poster, I blend but I use decaf coffee instead of Water with a chocolate flavored Protein, crushed ice and a lapband mocha drink is made. My fav brand protizyme. Flavor is chocolate cake. Jumping jack arm movements helped me with shoulder gas pains. Good luck.

Careful of too much water. Your post made me giggle because it sounded like a country song.....how do I make up for my cheating ways....... Good luck to you.

That must have been a great feeling. Bottle it, and remember it!!

For a few weeks?! Sounds like you have locked it into your routine. Good for you, I hope I do the same. Pouring here too right now. Carrying an umbrella might burn off an extra calorie or two!!! : ) (naw, waiting for it to stop or at least ease up)

Mine is all screwy too. Never made the band connection. Mine stopped a couple months after surgery, nothing from march until this weekend, then SURPRISE!!

Three miles last night and three today. How about you? Just reporting to make myself be accountable.

Heard exercise helps stress, and I had one heck of a weekend, so last night in the dark, at the high school track, I took a step. Then another, then another.... Three miles. No partner, no ipod, just unwinding my head. It helped. Tonight, three miles again. Ipod this time. Kinda proud of myself for a change.

You sound like a nice person. There should be more like you.
