Happy :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny Bandiversary!:Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

Great Bernadette! I hope it works for you! Restriction is awesome!

I know everyone says no gum, but I was never one to swallow it anyway. Gum is how I get by though. If I just have to have something then I have a Blue Belle sf chocolate crunch ice cream bar. They are so good! Since I quit smoking yesterday it has been really hard. Thank God for gum!

Things I'm looking forward to...... 1. Go hiking 2. Go back to school for my RN 3. Go places without feeling like people are staring at me 4. Buy normal sized clothing & not having to pay $5-$10 extra for my size 5. See a fertility doc 6. Snuggle with my husband 7. Run 8. Get my back fixed 9. Buy a small sports car 10. Fit in a booth when out to eat 11. LIVE!!!!!!!!

I second this statement! Baby food was not for me!

I don't think so. I'm no professional (lol), but it hasn't effected my singing voice. Congrats & good luck! Hope you have a speedy recovery! You'll get to sleep tomorrow! Ahhhhhh.....Lala land! Don't forget to update us as soon as possible! Later tater......Jess

Hey Poodles! Welcome! Gald you found us! I too have PCOS. I was put on glucophage too, but we just never could reach a therapeutic level with it, so I just stopped taking it. I decided to get banded for many reasons. PCOS being one of them. I would say that it has been harder for me. I am 8 months out & have only lost 35 lbs.. But that is 35 I would never have lost if not banded. I say go for it! It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me! Just know going in to it that you will have to work a little harder than the bandsters without PCOS. We're here for you! Oh & BTW, before I was banded my cycles were nonexistant, Since I was banded, I have had 2 cycles on my own! Ta Da!.....Jess

Hey Molly! I just went to Amazon.com & they have a lot of these DVDs at really discounted prices. I got a new toning DVD with RS & 80s Blast for $23.95 shipping included!

Too cool! I didn't know that! Thanks Mandy!

Sounds like you got it covered! My Mom bought some Knorr boullion cubes (they're in a box) & I think they were far better than broth out of a can or regular boullion cubes! She also bought a ham soup base (I think it was in a jar), it was ham broth with teeny tiny ham pieces in it, that I strained out, & it was delicious! Very filling! Good luck to you! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

WTG! I think everyone waits to hear that they have reached that spot - restriction! Keep up the good work!

Very good idea! I was just looking at the new DVDs too, cause my tapes are getting gimpy too.Thanks for the idea Rene!

My mind was wandering today & I realized that I had met someone whowas banded over her GBP. It was about 3 years ago. I was working in the hospital & she was my patient. She had gained a lot of weight back from her bypass & her doc recommended the band & she was doing great with it. I'm sorry, but I can't remember her name. I thought you might like to know about her though. That was actually the first time I had heard about the band. She had it done in Dallas. I'm sorry that's all I can remember. I can't believe I forgot about her! She was a psychic & I didn't know it & when I touched her to do a dressing change she went stiff as a board & proceeded to give me a reading. Made every hair on my body stand up! Anyway! I hope this helps you!

OMGGGGG!!!!! Good thing I'm broke right now! Sigh!

to print... right click & drag to highlight everything you want to print. Move the cursor over the highlighted area & right click again. Click on print. When the printer box pops up click the box that says print selected or selection & it will only print what you have highlighted.

You're welcome!

Star, I noticed your ticker is not showing, so here are some easy directions to get it to show. The ticker.......

When you paste the code will show in the box but your ticker will show on your posts! <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->__________________

Good for you! I'm glad you're doing well! It was weird to me also how I didn't get cravings anymore. Still is. I use to crave sweets constantly. Especially chocolate! Keep up the good work! You're doing great!

No. There are many doctors in the states that will do the adjustments for Mexico patients. Hang in there & don't give up! We're here for you!

I'm so sorry LBT! That is just awful! I agree with the ladies above me! Get a second opinion!

OOOOHHHH! The ice cream dragon! Baskin & Robbins peanut butter & chocolate had a very big part in my weight! Thank God they tore down the only B&R in Conway in order to put up a Starbuck's! & TG I'm not a big coffee drinker! & yes, I love fitday.com!

Okay! Here's my favorite! 1 scoop EAS vanilla soy Protein powder from wal-mart 1/2 - 3/4 cup pomegranate juice a couple handfuls of frozen peaches splenda to taste I whizz it around in my personal blender & voila!!

The ingrredients list on the back of Cavender's is very vague. It says : salt, black pepper, corn starch, garlic, MSG, Oregano, flavor base seasoning (hydrolyzed corn soy Protein, sugar, onion powder, spice extractives), parsley & 5 other spices This is word for word! Sorry!

Thanks Eileen! They are fun! And I have to admit, the exercise does work! I only exercised 2 days last week (Friday & Saturday) & I am already down 2 pounds. I have Sweatin to the oldies 1 & 3, & i have disco sweat. I think I loaned STTO 2 out & never got it back. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement! As my G-ma says, "I'll keep a pluggin!" ........Jess

That's awful! I have to confess though, this is one of my biggest fears about my husband. I don't think he would do anything like this, but you never know. In 13.5 years of marriage he has NEVER said one word about my weight! And so far as I have been able to tell, he has always been "interested in me" if you know what I mean. I feel for her! What an a$$hole!
