  17. Popcorn is a slider for me - I eat 100 cal snack pack popcorn almost every night - I can eat a large bag - it never has filled me up like eating 4 oz of meat - that's how you should judge your restrictiom - by the amount of hard Protein (meat) that you can eat at one time - IMHO

Played on computer - took a shower & gave Angel a shower at the same time ;0) - talked to gf on the phone - got dressed when to Marshalls bought 3 pairs of the same shoe in 3 colors - black white nude - gosh I can't think of what they are called (old age is a bitch) remember Candy shoes - spike heels that are slip on - omg what's the name - then went to Target got Brooke Bday cards 3/2 - then Winco wanted Ox Tails to make soup - but they didn't have any (target didnt either) so went all the way across town - and Stater Bro didn't have any - so no soup tonite - guess I'll eat the lamb chops I made last night..

  19. Karla When your Mom makes those comments what do you say to her.... You are a grown women - time to stick up for you... I want you to talk to the counsler about how to handel those comments - Really Truely - cuz this is another thing that keeps holding you back from being the best that you can be - It just pisses me off - I wish I could tell your Mom something - She's a grown woman she should know better - but you can't do better if you don't know how.. Please Please talk to the counsler about this - I think these comments really distroy your well being.. I personnally would cut of ties (I think) or I do know I would comment back as respectully as I could - If pple aren't going to respect you for the professional smart compatant woment that you are - the F them - you don't need them in your life.. I didn't sleep well leg/feet cramps all night - didn't drink enough water the last few days and am having tmi issues too...

  21. Good Evening Peeps. Had a WONDERFUL day - well after my bank ordeal.... I should have known better than to to my b of a in Indio - got there 9:09 - didn't get to see anyone till 9:50... I even threaten to close my account w/them - they didnt' care - I asked what time does the bank open - 9 - well then why are there 4 pple waiting to get personal service (not teller service) no one showed up till 9:30 - I was so pissed - took a xanax after I left there - Hell all I wanted was a new debit card since my old one got shut down for a $20 charge made on Valentines at some pet pillow place in rancho mirage at 6:40 p.m. I was home on the computer at that time - I was really really pissed - I will be going to the b of a in La Quinta - it won't be full of the kind of pple who don't help you - I don't have million in the bank but more than the average person and I feel that after being w/bofa since I was in Kindergarden (savings) and a real about since 71 - that I should get good customer service.... So I picked up Diane - 1st place Chico's got 2 tops and 3 bras - no back fat (excess skin) and they are so comfy - they were expensive - but I dont think they will be the 1st thing that comes off when I come home at night ;0) then we met another gf for lunch at Tommy Bahama's - Had scallop sliders (not the bread part) OMG they were cooked to perfection - Diane was looking for a dress for a wedding next month - stopped at a few more store JCrew - Black & White - some store w/an A - got home about 5.. Had a really nice day - didn't talk about work - well for a second when I picked up Diane - but we didn't gossip or think of work - just talked and shopped - GREAT day.... Karla - I forgot about the lifting issues - You better becareful - and I am so happy that you talked to someone about your anger... That's very very good.. You will survive this and once that baby is born you will change your tune and keep your boundries ;0).. Melissa (dil) called last night - girls are out of school the week of 3/14 - they were thinking about coming down - Told her I was having company that week ;0) she said that's why I'm calling cuz I know you have a life - I thought that was cool - I have a life - without my lbt friends - I might not have such an active one ;0).. So they are coming for Easter.. Girls have like 2 days off and I have good Friday - so will have fun making baskets and dying eggs.. Candice - How is your Mom doing?? How was your visit?? Yep I could get use to 3 - 4 day weeks real easy ;0) but I would have to work extra hard to get them and I don't like working that hard - infact was warned to watch my lbt and fb activity w/the new computers - that's going to be hard.. Cuz in between files - I so a lot of web surfing ;0).. Going to have to take my ereader and see if there is wi fi anywhere around us ;0) Karri - How are you feeling today - any more new from the doc - poor thing I know I worry about my band at times... They haven't been around that long to really have specifics on them - that's why so many pple are now going w/sleeve.. Phyl ;0) I just feel so bad that you are sick - hope you feel better today.. Yep our weather tomorrow suppose to be crappy - today was pretty nice at this end of the valley.. Well Kaitlin's calling - cbl - Hugs
  22. Good Morning Gang Karri - Hugs Hugs Hugs - wish there was more I could say or do - Does standing up to eat help??? Karla - I wanted to sleep in to 5:45 a.m. but fur babies woke me up at 5 a.m ugh - on my 2nd cup off coffee. Phyl - Stay warm - it's suppose to be cold and rainy for the next 2 days - have you gotten some hand sanitizer ?? You need to carry it around w/you - you are all over the place and exposed to so many germs - I really think you need it - you seem to catch everything lately.. Candice - Staying warm - - about 2 weeks till you come to Cali - hopefully our weather will improve - but for you 62 during the day w/no snow would be an improvement LOL
  23. Good Evening Gang Karri Hugs baby girl - call the damn insurance yourself and stay on the freaking phone till you get a date earlier than 3/25 (this was on FB peeps you didn't miss anything) - Wish I could do more than send good juju prayers and thoughts - I know that not being able to eat would be the pits.. Phyl - Take your butt to the doctor... Being sick for a week isn't good... You need to carry santizier w/you ;0) ... You could have driven to Riverside not that far from Redlands and went to Tyler Mall - haven't been there in yrs but it use to be a nice mall.. Karla - Girl it's not the best situation but it's not ruined - girl going to kick your ass... Life is not a fairy tale - so dont set yourself up to get depressed when it doesn't turn out that way.. Maybe just maybe this boy will turn around - who knows it took my DS a long time but he did - good things do happen - Elsye needs your love (unconditional) doesn't mean that you approve but you still love her and the baby too Candice - Yep it's around the corner ;0) ... Welll today was my Friday ... Hanging out w/Diane tomorrow - should have a new computer at work on Monday... Was told to make sure I cleaned up my c drive... My click free still isnt working correctly - will mess with it this weekend (haven't loaded any new pics or docs)
  24. I was 52 when banded 250 lbs - my weight limited the quality of my life - I had none .... I lost my weight in 1 yrs time - I have maintained that loss for almost 3 yrs (7/11) Just know that the band is only a tool and you have to do the work in choosing good healthy foods and exercising - I rarely drink shakes - my doc want you to eat real food - shake are mostly pre-op and post op while you are still of full liquids - If you are ready for the lifestyle change the girl go for it - why waste anymore of your life being fat..
  25. Xavier - I respectfully disagree w/you - it is also about what you eat.. It's a combination of what you eat - the amount you eat and exercise.. I haven't dieted since I was banded - I eat healthy - my pre-band diet is what made me fat in the first place - I ate high fat - high sugar and no exercise.. Also IMHO since this is a lifetime lifestyle change you have to be able to eat more than 1/2 c food per meal - hell I can eat 1 cup - be full and still want to eat more food and I could eat around it (band) if I chose to - the Band is no guartenee that you are going to lose the weight - it's no guartenne that you won't regain your weight and you will if you go back to your pre-band diet (this board is full of pple who have lost their motivation - who eat around there bands and don't follow the rules - The word diet truly means food or drink regularly consumed.. Our bands are only tools to help us and yes it has to be maintained to work properly - but peeps - it is also about what you eat and how much you move.. So please don't listen to a new bander who thinks restriction alone is going to make you healthy - it's not - to get healthy you have to eat healthy and exercise and with the help of your band you can get there..
