Your weight loss is awesome!!! Alison #1 I was most certainly there. Big belly, back hurt, out of breath and embarrassed to be seen. Guess what I was 459 and now I am 403 well hopefully 399 by now but anyhow. Make a plan....Set Goals.....Just Do It Walk Every Day 10 min Ride Bike Every Day 5 min Increase these a little bit at a time and it will get easier and you feel great!!! Come on over to Spring Boot Camp and the motivation you need!! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=16890

Poor baby.....Have fun today!!!

Just think about how much you are going to loose with all that tapping. LOL I'l just keep walking until Tuesday.

I will pitch in with half unless someone else shows up and we can split it 3 ways......see how you will be baby sitting anyhow, in a sense. LOL

Yes overeating will make me pb. This band is a trip but it works. It sounds like you should eat a little and wait, that has to sound crazy coming out of a fat person. LOL

I was at the track 3 1/2 miles yeahhhh:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Thanks for walking with me people.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Pooky 2 1/2 miles Stocky 3 miles Meeee 3 1/2 miles WE ARE GOOD!!!!!!!!:dance:

Puddinpie it may not have been the amout but what.....you said that bread in your first post. Try not eating the typical band unfriendly foods and see if you still pb. Bread, rice, dry chicken etc. For me I am tight in the morning and anything can get stuck and make me slime or pb. I'm stuck now from eating a boiled egg white, the yolk is too dry. Appreciate the warning signs ....a burp, hiccup, feeling like the food is still in the lower part of your esphogus. Are you drinking while eating? Thursday B:Boiled egg, orange 100 S:cereal bar 130 L: corn chips 140 D: salad, steak umm, would not stop there 2 pieces of rye toast w/spaghetti sauce and cheese- at real slow Then I went walking and was stuffed. D:Plain McD Sundae 200

New Plan Wed- Track (at least 3 miles) did 3 1/2 miles with Stocky Now my feet hurt a little and my right knee wants to give out periodically. I may have to take that break today and walk tomorrow.....I will see. If the sun is out I will go and see how far I can walk without hurting myself further. I will look into getting a material knee brace so I don't hyperextend my knee. I can't wait to see that 3 pounds off. Thurs-Track (4 miles) Fri-Maybe a break I will see Sat-Point (3 miles) Sun-Track (4 miles)

WOW Superdaddy said it......this is April...we have May and June is hot. April May June approximately 55 days/8weeks till June.......:eek: WOW bathingsuites, cook outs, shorts, short sleeves, hot days, outings and it doesn't stop there....July, August, September are also hot.... OK guys we know what we have to do and what we gotta to do..... What is your goal for summer? Is there a size, something you want to fit into, a number on the scale you want to see :dance: :roll: Move your bodies.....laughter burns calories:pound:If you can't walk move your arms:crutch:just move something:fencing: Don't just sit there :couch2: get up:brick: Find a cyber :grouphug:buddy and call:cell:, email:ranger: and say what are you going to do today. Well I'm going to walk in my living room for 10 minutes....yeahhhhh. You better not call saying Ohhh child I just had some fast food and sabatoged myself:heh:....yeah I could have had the burger patty with no bun but I want to see the big carbohydrated bun hanging on my stomach and thighs for the summer. :frusty: MOVE IT NOW:Banane43:,:Banane25:,,,,:boxing:.... ..:Banane39:....:Banane33::waytogo:....... ...:Banane57:.....:Banane59:....... PRE PLAN.....WHAT ARE MY SAFE FOODS....SNACKS....WHEN I'M OUT....PROTEIN BARS, cheese STICKS, meat, BURGERS....TAKE OFF THE BUN, salad, sugar free POPSICLES, FUDGESICLES, Protein shakes,PROPEL, POWER ADE

I had to take high blood pressure meds and I crushed the ones I could and put them in pudding. As far as the uncrushable ones check with your pharmacist and your doctor to see if there is a liquid or a crushable pill. The gas takes time to go away but I agree with the chewable xtra strength gas xx and walking. Keep sipping and sf popsicles and fudgesicles really help with the hunger also. Are you taking your chewable Vitamins? They helped me with my hunger also. how long are you on liquids? Keep up the great work 214, I wish.

Yes you can have a pb before a fill. Everyone experiences the band a little diffrently. I don't know if it was 4 weeks after surger but you can eat more and more until your next fill.

WOW shoresexy I had the same thought, to make a list, but only 10 min after you. LOL MOVEMENT:rolleyes .........

I see you are ready....that was too cute. I'm ready too. I will no longer go without a fill for more then 2 months. I didn't loose anything during the first boot camp. I just didn't have the restriction I needed but I also had not learned how to use my band properly. I have learned my lesson and I am ready to kick some FATT BUTT......as Jamie Foxx said WHORAHHHHH;).....YEAHHHH

You find that ewwwww, I mean stuff at GNC, Vitamin Shoppee and on ebay. Good Luck yummy:speechles

Thank you for noticing .....I only lost 1/4 so the numbers won't change this week. I'm ok with it because I understand how I did it. I wear a 32 and my clothes are really loose. I have actually gone to the Avenue lately a few times with the intent of finding out if my size has changed.:cry But I get scared and refuse to try anything on. I will look at things or hold them up and my mind is saying there is no way you can fit that. At least twice a week I say I am going to Catherines to try things on and then again I won't do it. I am just scared :omg: my size has not changed.....

I'll be at the track this evening!!!!!

Puddin you had a donut....he he he I have 1.8 cc's restriction varies from person to person from day to day from hour to hour. It's tight sometimes and sometimes it's just right. Are you stuffing your pouch? If not your pouch is not stretched. Yesterday was a bad day. I ate to fast and I was trying to eat 2 eggs instead of 1. I was probably eating fast because I'm tighter in the morning and knew I should not have been eating it. Wednesday B:Water ( Can water start my metabolism? I really don't want to eat anything yet.) S:Slimfast/almonds L:jello/corn chips D:Big Beautiful Salad (hopefully) S:Protein Bar

OMG first it is going to depend on your personality. I like for things to be light and have fun so when it feels like we are best friends with benefits. You can have fun together. You don't feel jelous. You can get over th stupid stuff quick and move on to more fun. When you guys do things for each other just because you want to please the other person. Again, like Wheetsin said sharing the same beliefs and values will truly make it last.

Somebody slap me.....I didn't loose my 3 pounds:think . .....but I didn't gain. I only lost .4 pounds a mere fraction 1/4 of a pound. A stick of butter is what I lost. Blame Game My foot was hurting and I did not walk as much. I was upset yesterday and I ate like a starving pig. I like to cook although I can't always eat what I cook. I was upset and watching the food network. ( I know that is a cardinal sin) I ended up cooking Eckridge Turkey Sausage with sauteed onions and greenpeppers and frozen greens w/one strip of bacon. Ummmmmm good (what was I thinking I ate barely anything all day because I have to weigh in) so I ate some more until my belly hurt. How stupid.....When I got home from the meeting I have this great apfinay (how do you spell that):help: I have 3 red potatoes, hey girl why don't you fix that with the sausage...ummmmm. Well my dear child had been in it so there wasn't much left so I cooked another sausage and boiled the potatoes a little just to soften them a little then added them to the sauteed onions in margarine and seasonings......did I say ummmmmm. Then I put the sausage over top of the potatoes and let it all steam together. Did I say I still was not real happy so I got a plate and proceeded to eat just a little and then went back and got a little more....oh well can you say slim......hiccup....pb and then I went to bed. This morning I am drinking Water until I get hungry then I'm having a slim fast then a Protein bar. The New Plan My foot is better so I will be like my good friend LSasha the walking machine. I will go to the track this evening and walk at least 3 miles, if I can do more I will. I am not really an evening walker but we will see. I love walking in the morning....oh wow so bright, fresh and happy in the morning. I will be walking Haines Point 3 miles Saturday possibly 2 times or 1 times and play a little fake tennis if someone goes with me. Sunday I will walk at the track. I need to start strength training again to ward off some of the sag. :blah: Wed- Track (at least 3 miles) Thurs-Track (4 miles) Fri-Maybe a break I will see Sat-Point (3 miles) Sun-Track (4 miles) Thank you guys for listening and being on my side.

Awwww I am so sorry to hear about O. It sounds like you guys really loved each other. Take comfort in know O did not suffer long. I will keep Mo in my prayers.
