Congrats Flower take care of yourself!!!!

at 315lbs, I HATE summer! LOL it gets so hot and dry out sometimes it hard to breathe. Im glad I dont live in AZ, or NV right now LOL either I need to lose weight so this weather wont bother me or winter needs to come back quickly! ...sorry summer gals.... lol

My thoughts and prayers are with you! And my everything that can be crossed is crossed... Good Luck!

depending on what your Dr. has you on at 3weeks out... you might want to drink another protien shake... I know that always boosted my energy level.

Wow that is wonderful! and for a great cause too! Good Job!

Hey thats wonderful news!!! Congratulations!!!

A lady was terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day. Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds." When the lady returned, she shocked the doctor. She had lost nearly 20 pounds. "Why, thats amazing!" the doctor said. "Did you follow my instructions?" The lady nodded. "Ill tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day." "From hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor." "No", the lady said, "from all that skipping!"

Krystal, I think you should call your Dr. just to see what he says and so he will be aware of the pain you are having. Once you talk to him he can determin if he need to see you sooner. Just take care of yourself.

congratulations!! You will be banded in just a couple of days woohoo!! Add to your list Jello, and popsicles. Thoes were big helpers!

YAY!!! Christina.... You are FINALLY banded!! I know how long you waited for this! Im so happy for you! Welcome to Bandland!!!

Kelly you b-day is a day after me. Im a Gemini.. not sure if im on the border or not. Im surely now a penny pincher.. in fact I dont even carry pennys around. hate the darn things! LOL

Example: a "healthy" salad at Mcdonalds has the same calories as a Big Mac. Hmmmm if you want to eat a sald premake one for the next day. Chicken Nuggets?? ugh The whole chick minus the bones, bleached, protien or not thats gross! and Fries?? omg it could take months before thoes things break down, something I dont want to put in my system. Dont get me wrong I ate this stuff all the time.. thats where most of the 335lbs came from. But now I just look more deeper in it.

WOOHOO!!! Congrats. Krystal!!!! Take care of yourself okay. And welcome to bandland!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you! everything is going to turn out great!! woohoo your getting banded!!!

Caffeine causes dehydration but i mean if you drink water anytime of the day its fine. and its with anyone banded or not that it causes that.

I really enjoyed that.. You look great!!! love your house too.. never seen so much green ever! im from NM not much of that green stuff here hehehe. Thanks for sharing!

WOW Paula, First Congratulations on your bandiversary! And thoes 10 tips are wonderful Thank You! You have done GREAT!!! I know one day I will be there too. Keep up the good work your not far from that 130!!! Great Job!!

Watch the movie Super Size Me, you wont want to eat fast food again! I know I dont!!

Stracey, Just like everyone said it is very normal what you are going thourgh. I was in pain for almost 2 weeks out and lots of times that I moved or try to bend down, I thought my guts were going to spill out. Im actually really starting to feel better with no pain days and im only a little over a month out. So hang in there girl. You are going to do GREAT! Just take care and get pampered! Thats the fun part!!! Take Care!

Nancy, I found a place in the mall here where I am that sells the bracelet and they ingrave it for you. It thoes really plain ones, but i figured I can make the beaded part and use the ID tag. then I can make diffrent colors and interchange them. I bought a beads to make my first one and it totaled 8.00 and the bracelet im buying is 12.00 plus 7.95 per line engraved. Im thinking thats not to bad. Just an idea!

Rabbits.. NOT bunnies.. are very good meat... we use to raise them for food. Over 50-75 of them.. never a day with out meat. Just put them in a little flour.. some egg.. "just like chicken" and fry. Nice meal with a side of green chile and tortilla. very nice actually I miss it. So Teresa, when is dinner??? Im so there!

Yeah you are blessed.. I have to travel over 340miles... by car.. not fun. but I have a GREAT Dr. and his Asst. that does lot by phone for me.. So I consider myself blessed as well.

Im a little over 3 weeks out... and I barely started to REALLY feel better.. like myself..... you know... it really takes time Please just let yourself heal. and dont take the Nexium you probably wont need it.. and its non effective if you crush it.. or break open the pill. I use to get heart burn 4-5 times a day and now after surgery I have NOT had heart burn. I love it!!! Walk and just take care okay!! you will pull thourgh this!
