Damn yall! Vicodin, ice cream, sex, whole foods... Ya;ll were chatty today!! Vicodin - still have some liquid elixer from surgery - took some for a toothache a few days ago... slept like a log. Ice Cream - oh how I miss thee... Sex - oh how I miss thee, even more than ice cream! Whole Foods - do they have these in KCMO? I totally need to check into this. Yes, it is a TOTALLY hilarious book!! Everyone who eats food must read it! I made an organic vegan chili a couple weeks ago. SOOOO freaking good, and - bonus - I pooped like a champ for 2 days.

Lol. I'm addicted. Keeps me from eating too. Ha!! I don't do it at work though... Gov't computers aren't good for doing personal stuff on - Big Brother is EVERYWHERE!!

Morning Star is way better than Boca - IMO. I love their chicken patties (OK, fake chicken...) Garden Burger is great also! Stef, I posted on another thread about the ice cream/ambien thing. Its just too crazy. BE CAREFUL with that medication!

Lol... If I ate that many calories in one sitting I'd be PISSED that I couldn't remember it! Haaha. I LOVE ICE CREAM!! I savor every bite. (whenI eat it - wheich is very very vrey rarely now.) Seriously - Even the week before my surgery - I was eating 1/2 gallon cartons of ice cream at least 3 nights a week. All in one sitting. I rationalized it by not eating anything else those days. Ugh... no wonder I was almost 400 pounds!

ACTUALLY, girls, MAY 12th is the BEST day of the year! Ha!! Stef, the spreadsheet is fantastic. I need to sit myself down and have a 'goals' discussion. I'll let you know what I convince myself to do... March 30 sounds great too, it's my lil sis's bday, so I will be able to remember it well. Ha!

You should totally check out the book "Skinny Bitch" - Ever since picking that up I've been re-thinking the whole flesh consumption thing...

Yay on losing again Wombat! I'd considered getting another fill (had 3rd fill in Sept!) but I've been very careful with food choices the past couple days and notice that as long as I chose the right foods that I still have really great restriction. I'll wait it out a few more weeks and see how I feel then.

Well if Stef is involved, so am I. I'm a stalker. I'm totally going to go back to exercising! Been off it too long. Time to start going back full force, 5 days a week. I'm never going to see another 55 pounds off by my birthday in May if I don't start WORKING for it! Happy New Year

Yeah, the green team - the dad totally ruined everything for her. Jerk.

HP- watching the Biggest Loser right now. It's amazing. I find it totally inspirational. Even my roommate is watching it and saying how he wants to lose weight and start eating better. (He eats a box of little debbies everyday. Also eats McDonalds or Popeys daily... and drinks regular Pepsi... he has ALOT of changes to make if he really wants to lose weight!)

Oh yeah - and I totally need to get off my ass and get BACK into the gym. Time to go bakc to my 5 days a week workout. I miss it.

BG - Sugar free huh?/ I totally need to do that to cleanse myself. I feel like crap. I've been at 301-305 back and forth for about 3 weeks now. I'm sick of it! I want to see 299 so damn bad.

basically you can input as little info as you want. You don't HAVE to log anything at all - though I don't reccomend that. Lol, I haven't logged food in about 5 weeks and haven't lost a damn thing! Ha!

Thats awesome. COngrats to you!! As far as fills - I had my 3rd fill in Sept - and STILL have great restriction... as long as I eat the RIGHT foods. And yeah, I totally don't care about eating anymore - unless it is sugar crap. Lol. If it is chocolate or sugar or whatever, I"m totally all over it, and those foods slide through my band without any difficulty at all. But yeah. I'm making myself eat chicken tonight rather than the chocolate coated pretzels i really want. Lol. I've eaten about 5 bites of chicken and I'm DONE. :faint:

Hey all!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Most of you will make your goal weight this year - HOW EXCITING!! BeckieT, glad your revision went well, hopefullyyou'll have NO MORE staph infections! Ick! My New Years was great. Went over to a friends party - drank ONE apple-tini and was so freaking buzzed. I laughed at how crazy it was. And I had a few sips of Champagne at Midnight - which is< I think, the first carbonation I've had since surgery. No pain or excessive gas with it, but the bubble felt funny! Ha! NOW that the 'Holidays' are all behind us... I'm going to start watching my calorie intake again and logging my foods in my bodybugg site. I've been at/hovered around 305-301 for 2 weeks. Its about dang time I get serious again and hit TWOterville!! CHop chop!!

I love my Bugg... and starting Tuesday I am going to re-start logging my food so I can get the 5 pounds I've been playing with for 2 weeks OFF of me ONCE AND FOR ALL!!

I have tiny belches, usually one or two... but I get hiccups ALL the time.

I agree with the others. Slowing down and not drinking. Though I think I've got the no drinking with meals thing now - as it typically causes pain or a PB. As far as slowing down... The first 1-2 bites are typically too fast or not chewed well enough - then I pay the price for it and the rest of the meal is nice and slow. Lol. I THOUGHT giving up my precious diet coke would be hard, but nopw, not at all! I don't miss it at all!!

B - I find humor in nearly all overcome obstacles. I'm glad you all share your 'fall' stories... otherwise when I get my bike and fall I would probably feel like its cause I"m a freak or something. I haven't ridden a real bike since I was about 12. And damn this snow here!! I want one so badly right now. Soon though, very very soon...

I'll let ya know when I get there - still got 2.2 pounds to go!! Argh!! I need a fill... and to get these holiday cookies/candies/ poisons away from me!!

Hello Marye75! Check this thread... We haven't exactly made a decision yet... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f93/junies-vegas-2008-a-38228/

Pish posh. Who swallows air? I was never told to not drink through a straw... and I will not give it up. I can't stand to drink anything without a straw!!! I have this weird OCD thing about touching my mouth to a cup... yes, I'm weird. oh well.

B- Thats an amazing loss... and reaffirms that I do NEED another fill in my Stella (Thats my lap bands name) ALSO - I love your story. I shouldn't laugh, but it is just totally something I would do. Keep trying, you'll get it right eventually... And when I finally get a bike I'm sure I'll have LOTS of falling stories for you to laugh at.
