Hey Edna! I don't like any of those kinds of drinks, but my husband does. He likes Gatorade, but he likes Powerade better (fruit punch flavor)!

Welcome! Nice to meet you!

It feels better to confess! LOL!

It's finally cool here too!! YAY!!! The windows are open! Hope it stays like this!

Thank you so much for posting about this Rene! I have a aunt who has terminal breast cancer & a cousin that was diagnosed a couple months ago. I think this is a very important topic!

:Bunny Congrats! I hope you both have a long, successful & happy life together! :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

Do I qualify? According to my math I have lost 1.1lb/week since surgery.

:Bunny :Bunny Happy :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny Birthday! :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

WTG Nana~! Thanks everyone!

Follow the link below to another thread & it will tell you step by step how to get a ticker. Welcome! http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=9931&highlight=ticker

If I could eat anything, I think I would ask for a little more. Let us know what you decide!

Okay, I keep reading posts where new bandsters ask if anyone cheated in the pre-op diet. I had totally forgotten about this, but it is so funny! I was 1 week in on the sugar free liquid pre-op diet & totally miserable. My husband went & bought a pound of ham for his lunch. I broke down & ate some of it! No bread, just ham. This went on for 2 days. My husband came in one afternoon & decided to make himself a sandwich. A puzzled look came over his face when he pulled the ham out of the fridge. He turns to me and says, "Have you been eating ham?" Caught & totally pissed off, I replied, "What are you? The ham police?!" I don't think I'll ever live this down!! LOL! It's funny now! But I was pissed at the time! Anyone else get caught?

On the site, when i requested a catalog, they asked for your id number so i entered it. They said i would have my catalog in 7-10 days. They also gave me your name & phone # for any questions I may have. So I'm assuming you will get credit for my orders. If I don't think that you will get credit, then I will PM you. Thanks!!

LOL! Crazy!

Congrats! Welcome to Bandland! Nice to meet you!

Welcome! Nice to meet you!

This is a big NSV! Congrats!

Since I lost this last 10 lbs & have been exercising, I seem to have more energy too. I noticed it this weekend. I usually am a couch potato over the weekend, but my hubby kept looking at me oddly & I finally realized it was because I was cleaning! On a weekend! LOL! Feels good doesn't it?!

Congrats Cat! Sounds like you are doing great! Welcome to Bandland!

So sorry for your loss! I will keep you & her family in my thoughts & prayers also! This is terrible!

Ummmmm.... Yeah! I think I was in denial for about 7 months. Total depression. Didn't know what to do. Even scared to lose the weight! I finally realized I am a valuable person & so worthy of this band & this weight loss! I too have replaced food (my drug of choice) with exercising - if my back allows me to. If not, I read or crochet, or I come here. This board & all the people on it have helped me more than anything! Hang in there! At least you figured this out fairly quickly! I promise, you will get better! I would be leary of the valium too at this point. Good luck to you! (((((HUGS)))))

You can do this! We're here for you! (((((((HUGS)))))))

Congrats! Welcome to Bandland! Glad you're doing well!!

Don't you just want to tell them to "stick it"! I'm not gonna suggest it, but don't you wanna! So sorry you had to go through that. Support means a lot no matter where it comes from, but it means even more when it comes from family. I hope they come around! But if they don't, it's their problem! Sounds like they have issues anyway! We're here for you!! (((((((HUGS))))))) And I'm proud of you!

I just wanted to say welcome! You sound like you need support & I think you came to the right place to get it! Everyone here is wonderful! I hope that everything works out for you! Some people have to really fight for their band & it is almost handed to others (& then the rest of us pay for it ourselves...LOL). Keep us updated on how things are going! (((((((hug))))))
