I like the taste of ground beef better then ground turkey...so I buy both and mix it. It is less fat and I still get the good taste. lol. odd I know.

While that is sweet idea Laurinda to give them to others. What about us that need clothes for a short amount of time. If I am only going to need a certin size of clothing for 2 months and I work in an office. I hate the idea of spending so much for office clothes to wear for that little amount of time.

I want to NOT be the one in the gym everyone is looking at for insperation....At least I am not as fat as her.....

wow no driving that would of killed me. I live alone. So if I dont do it noone would. I was driving the day after surgery.

That is why I dont really like flying. I have to get their super early so I can sit by a window and squish myselfy into it and stay in that position for the whole flight. sucks really. and i feel horid the whole time. not just uncomfortble but embarased. And I am super afraid I am not going to drop enough weight before I fly again for it to make that big of a difference.

LOL If my swollen feet ever fit into some jimmy choo's I would of never parted with them. heck I have payless shoes my feet are too swolen for but I am holding on to them for when I can fit into them again.

wow shgatl your doing great! I am worried about the seats in the airplane. one of my fears is that they are going to make me buy 2 seats. I hate that thought.

I think it is like when you have a big zit. my mom never notices the zit but I think it is HUGE! I can only see the Zit. and mom always says it is not that big... We SEE the fat...so we think the fat we see is bigger then it is to anyone else.

OK My first NSV last night after my shower I wrapped the towel arround me. and half my side didnt stick out...WOW. it is still a bath sheet but atleast it covers me now.

Flat rate boxes at the post office is about 9.60 and those boxes MIGHT hold about 1 sweater or 2 pairs of pants. I am heading to 28's and have a ton in my closet. just not a lot of work clothes.

What store do you get your protein powder in bulk? I want that! lol

I know that is what I find so amazing. I wish I had kept track of how much I was spending. Including all the extra little things like buying a soda and chips and candy bar when I would get gas. Now If I get anything it is milk for my protein shake. (I ran out of milk one morning) It is just such a change looking at my bank statement and not seeing all those extra charges.

I am staying on the plan today because my family wants to get together this summer and I would love to wow them with being a lot smaller. Oh and I would love to be able to fly with out worring the airplain is going to charge me for an extra seat... that always scares me.

The biggest thing for me is I dont eat out much at all. where I used to eat out at least 2 times a day. Now I cook dinner and bring my lunch. I eat too slow to go out to eat for lunch and I dont eat enough for dinner for it to be worth it..So I just cook at home...it is not as bad as it used to be to cook just for myself. probably because I just dont eat much.

my supplements....I take 2 tablespoons of a liquid vitimin not bad tasting. I put it in a shot glass and down it in the morning. 11 dollars for a month supply. and Protein shakes. I buy unjury one large contanor is about 18 dollars. for 17 servings. I would say that is still less then the donuts and coke I used to have for Breakfast. I dont really take any other supplements. At least nothing I was not taking before.

That is why I work out after work. It is the only time I dont have an excuse. I Have to do it. I dont give myself a choice. I would never wake up early to excercise. I like sleeping too much. I could find too many excuses not to do it in the morning

where fo you go to get your vitimins checked?

It is the cost of eatting out that is saving me the most money. Before LB I would eat out at lunch about 7 dollars and then I would eat out at dinner about 15 dollars I would do this daily. that is a savings of about 150 a week....damn I dont spend that now on food at all for a month. including protein shakes.

It could also be the pain from where your port is hitting a nerve and it just travels up to your sholder. Is the pain gone yet? Try walking. it aleviates gas pain

So can you feel tight? like all the time or just when eatting? Can you drink normal? I think the not knowing is what is freaking me out. I am getting it done. But I may have to have a Xanex before lol. not within 3 hours of it. so I may just have to time it well. lol

I get my first fill tomorrow. I am actualy quite nervous about it. I think it is weird that I am nervous about a fill when I was ok with the surgery. Had anyone had their fill with fluro? I dont know what to expect.

I would love to give and swap my clothes with someone. I am in 30 and 28's at the moment. I do have some nice clothes. And I would rather give them to people that are like me then pass them off to good will where they will be snaged by the workers and not always the pople that need them.

Jack, My dad had one of those piles. When one of us kids had an anger outburst we had to chop wood. Wish I had one now. lol naw knowing me it would just sit there forever without dad making me. lol

I am staying on the plan today, because I am getting a fill on wednesday. I dont want to have to start from scratch completly

Hey all, I was banded on the 19th of december, I am due in for my fill this wednesday the 23rd. I am really happy with my dr he seems pretty agressive about fills. I am nervious about it I am getting it done under fluro. but I dont really know what all that intales. I hope I dont have to drink that chalky stuff. ick OR WORSE THE BUBBLES but
