okay, adding a 4th meal sure isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I was able to get over 1000 calories today by adding a spoon of peanut butter and a spoon of nutella (not to be confused with gnutella...) I've also added a viaticiv calcium chew.

welcome back Sharon!

So far it's been a brease for me! I was able to sleep on my side a few days after surgery, but it's been a couple of weeks now but I still have some discomfort sleeping on my tummy. My DH can only eat eggs if the yolk is runny (yeah, I know, gross.) but I haven't had any trouble with eggs. I have them a fews days a week for Breakfast or lunch. A week after I was banded and still on liquids, a pizza delivery guy showed up on my doorstep with 3 (THREE!!!) pizzas! He had the wrong address! waaaa! I've gone to my favorite pizza place here with friends, but the smell made me feel nausios...

I just thought I'd give y'all an update on my DH. He as recently moved from Super, Super Morbidly Obese to Super Morbidly Obese! His starting BMI was 85.5 and is now 63.2!

one of the reasons I like that particular site is they do all the figuring for you. I generally track everyday that way I know if I need to eat more the next day or less. keep up the good work!

Laura! have you actaully checked the calories you've eaten??? Tuff luv time!!!! YOU ARE NOT A HOG! Calories Protein Fat Carbs Fiber Sodium1,240.0 56.0 65.0 113.5 17.5 2,120.0 Okay, this is one off, but you just barely had 1200 calories. How many calories do you think you need? I'm serious here. Have you talked to your diet or nutrishonst to find out what your target calorie intake should be? If you do not get sufficient calories you WILL NOT LOSE ANY WEIGHT. Or the weight you do loose will be from your muscles, which you need to loose weight. You probably need between 1200 and 1400 calories, especially if you are working out. YOU ARE NOT A HOG! You just need a reality check honey! (((hugs))) The next time you are feeling this way, I want you to go here and check exactly how much you've eaten. http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_food.html this is one of the best on-line calorie counters I've found, it is blazingly fast even with my stupid dial-up. Promise me that you will stop calling yourself such a hateful name! you deserve all the respect and love in the universe!

walked 40 minutes today

I started this thread in the hopes that people would post what they are doing for excersizing on a daily basis. http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5505

Hey Katie, I think what you are going through is pretty normal. I know I was a wreck for several days. I mean, I was a take-some-valium-for-gawd's-sake-woman sort of wreck. And as for having subway, you didn't have one of those 6 foot long sandwiches by yourself did you???? If not, give yourself a break; be kind to yourself. It isn't like you went to McDonalds and ate 12 double quarter pounders, right? (oh the thought makes me ill, sorry about that) You have obviouly done a lot of thinking about why you are getting the band. You've been fairly active on LBT, I think you will do just fine. Again, be kind to yourself.

Hey Gypj, well, not too bad, you definately will want to increase your calories though, or you won't loose weight. Yeah, I know, waht a paradox. Do you mean by blended chicken salada, you used a blender to mash it up, or did you use a fork? Change the chicken salad to tuna or salmon salad, and meat balls are probably fine, as long as you mash them up good before you eat them.

I say kick those girls in the shin! :cool: Age spots indeed. hrumph!

Sure I"ll come to your B-Day party! Thanks for the invite! I think I'll be a little late, like Vegas in September late :cool: I don't remember who said this (I know, me being the quote queen and all...) but "Living well is the best revenge." And I think his wife is going to make him squirm for you.

Okay, here are my active hobbies: pottery, loom knitting, computers and technology, PC based video games (yeah, I’m hardcore), LBT, music, movies, drawing (I’m teaching myself), interior design, horseback riding, and gourmet cooking. Because I'm in exile, there are several I am not actively doing like gardening or playing with my dog. (yeah, I had to leave him at home.)

Michelle, I can only hope I do as well as you have. You are an inspiration! <I will not compare my journy to Michelle's, I will not compare my journy to Michelle's, will not compare my journy to Michelle's>

Congrats Penni! have you looked back at how many inches you've lost??? :cool:

ohhh English chips! ohhh! Yup, probably the salt did you in.

good grief! that brain test took forever! I scored 25 points to the women side. Most women score 50.

watching the evening news and they sited a medical study that recommends WLS for MO folks! NBC local news cast. I have't found antying else yet

walked 40 minutes, worked with horses 2 hours. Man, am I going to be sore tomorrow!!! :cool:

keloiding happens frequently with Blacks. (Since this isn't just an American board, I'm not using the term African Americans, because we have folks from a few differnent countries...) Sometimes with scaring, the scar is raised and welted. This is prized for scarification and branding.... However, if you are not into body modification, then it might not be prized. I hope that made sense

May the Cities in your wake, burn like candles on your cake!

oh Megan, I'm so sorry. What a jerk.

Perhaps a sticky forum? Sort of a Everything you wanted to know about the band?

Donali, apperances can be deciving.. :cool: I thought I knew stuborn until I met my son!
