    Roller coasters?

    I was in WDW two months post op and had absolutely no problems with Space Mountain, Expedition Everest or BTMRR. I even found that I fit into the cars on Space Mt. a little easier

    Eating at disney while banded

    You will find Disney very accommodating when it comes to dietary needs. I was there in October two months after my surgery and chose restaurants based on their menus ( good reference for this is Restaurant Dining Menus from Walt Disney World). You can share or order an appetizer as a main meal. I've found most items on the children's menus are not really the best fod choices for a bander. There is a lot of debate about the buffets. I made a mistake of asking about that before my surgery on a Disney discussion board I follow and regretted it afterwards. I didn't expect it to be such a hot topic. All Ears.net is a great resource for people traveling to Disney and they have a section discussing special dietary needs at Special Dietary Needs While Vacationing at Walt Disney World

    So, where IS everyone this week?

    I'm here, but doing a lot of lurking due to a silly thing like work getting in the way. Saw my doctor this morning. I went thinking I was ready for another fill, but he talked me out of it. He made sense, since he said I'm on target so far, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm already filled about 6.5cc in a 10cc band. Btw, I noticed we were banded on the same day. We can Celebrate our anniversary together

    American Idol '08

    I'm surprised that you thought Aisa'h's stage presence was lacking. I thought she was the most personable of the lot. I can't believe she went instead of Kristy Lee. Other than that, I agree with all the other three eliminations. Kady has a good voice, but song choice did her in. Danny's attitude did him in and I wasn't impressed with his version of Tainted Love and Luke was all looks, but his voice did not compare to the remaining singers.

    While you gals are all drooling over Jason and Danny, do you mind if I hold out hope that Brooke leaves her husband? :thumbdown:
  14. I can't have all th answers! It's a fair question, but I think you hit the nail on the head. I think we may just be the combination of support, motivation and confidence building that allows us to feel comfortable discussing our issues and successes.

  16. That made my head hurt. Which came first the chicken or the egg beaters? :biggrin2: We may have it easier than some who started closer to the holidays, because we are already in a good rhythm once they came around. Just think of the people who were banded in November and are on liquids still and having to face all that additional temptation. Just a guess.

    nervous

    For me it wasn't weights, but I played soccer in high school and college. Always had a big appetite, but would easily run it off. My soccer career ended when I tore an ACL in my junior year and with the inactivity, the weight started piling on.

    February Exercise Challenge

    Well I totally blew this month. Came down with bronchitis on Tuesday and still can't even walk up a flight of stairs without hacking away. I hope I clear up by Friday in time to get started on March.

    My bad. thanks for the correction. It seems to me the only thing you have to be confused about is which beach to go to on any given day :biggrin2: . Can't wait 'til October.

    February Exercise Challenge

    Same here. We've been to St. Thomas and St. Johns twice. Love Trunk Bay. Will be going back in October. My only complaint is that it's about time those Brits let go and let us drive on the right side of the road :biggrin: And to stay on topic. I went to work out last night. Drove into the parking lot and it was packed! There were police cars and an ambulance. It turns out that the gym shares a parking lot with the local ice rink and there was a high school hockey playoff going on involving the local high school which is #1 in the state. There wasn't a spot to be found. So, I missed a workout session opportunity.

    I got my scale at bed, Bath and Beyond. They had Weight Watchers scales with memory settings for up to 4 people.

    Lipton Diet Peach Tea

    Try the Snapple Diet Peach Tea. It's my favorite. Not only does it help fulfill my liquid requirements, but I find it really fills me up.
