GET THE TOSTITOS OUT OF THE HOUSE. That is all the advise I have. If you have to open them up and spread them on the lawn do it. however it works for you to not eat them. and Remember your stronger then those chips. YOU did the surgery! YOU made the commitment. I have faith YOU will do what is right for yourself.

I miss being able to ride rides. I cant wait till I am able to fit in the rides

Surgery, fills yes Airline and any other expenses no.

I have never been a coffee drinker. So the coffee flavored things just dont apeal to me. and Chi Tea makes me cringe. blech. But that is my personal opinion. But I love the milk shake things ummmmm

I tried the Unjury Vanilla and chocolate. I just mixed them in milk and they tasted really good. Like a milk shake. I was really impressed. All the protein drinks I have tried in the past were a horrid after taste. But these were really good. I did add extra milk in mine though I dont know if that made a difference. It called for 1 cup of milk and I think I put in about a cup and a half but I drank on it for about an hour.

Me either. I have never had surgery of any kind never even been in the hospital. That is what makes me the most nervous

That is just wrong. In my office they put them on the desk right behind me. I was a good girl last friday one of my co-workers came by with danish, and I said no. Then one of my other co-workers said "GO AHEAD you wont be able to eat it after your banded" Man I was like this is not the help I need

Nice work clothes is what I will need while I am loosing. I have plenty of jeans and shirts just no nice work clothes. I figure I can find a decent pair of tan pants at goodwill and hopefuly have a couple of shirts from someone.

This is great information. I am just glad my friends have kept their clothes for me. and I have kept my clothes...jeans mostly...now I will be able to wear them again.

*hugs* Just remember I think your awsome!

*HUGS* good Luck

I am just so insired by you. I am about where you started and should get my band in December. I am considering it my Christmas Present to my self. But I am just so inspired by you and think you are awsome and you work so hard I hope I can work as hard as you once I am banded.

Are you drinking enough water. I know dehydration can make you weak even dizzy.

I always do a ton of baking/cnady making to send out for Christmas. I figure I will make what I can early and the stuff that I cant make early I will just bear my way thru it. I dont buy gifts I make mine. So I understand where your comming from. Just make what you can and if you cant people will get over it.

Your one hot mama! good you you!

Congrats! So do you love your bug and would you recomend it to everyone. is it tedious to deal with?

Unjury has an unflavored. I think it is pretty good.

I also am an at work eater. I am going to have to stock some healthier snacks in my desk. So after the band I will have band friendly snacks.

MissSac I am having it done in Louisville KY. At St Mary's Dr Lusco is doing it I have really good feeling about him. Where are you having it done?

I heard someone talking about eating jerky. They said that is their to go protein. So I thought I would give it a shot. the peperoni is nuked on paper plate to get it crispy. yummmmmy

I didnt care for the isopure either. And I think 40 g protein is too much for one sitting

That sounds great I love these ideas. I think I will also want some protein too so maybe I would have some peperoni in bags too. or beef jerky

OOOOOH I tried the Vanila Unjury it was yummy too. I did add more milk then called for but less then last time it was TASTY! I can definitly do this.

MissSac I should be banded in December too. and I am also starting at about 360. cool
