Hey Puddinpie welcome back, it is always an inspiration to see your post. Stocky said that chocolate coconut shake was great but I forgot the company. I know they are listed on Obesity Help. Kee- are we skipping meals, you know that's not the answer Monday's meals con't I lost my mind yesterday morning eating everything....see previous post....I don't know if I posted the potato chips for lunch anyhow. Early dinner: 1/2 cup chili, salad, jello Late dinner: mashed potatoes and peas (restriction would not allow the pork chop) Tuesday B: slimfast 180 S: protein bar/apple 250 L: protein bar/gatorade 345 D: mashed potaoes, peas, jello

Today is finally the day for Dr. M to do what he does for Stocky. She is going to the hospital early so she can be there on time:crutch:. LOL Her surgery is scheduled for 10:30am today Tuesday March 21, 2006. She will be out in no time feeling like a brand new woman:frog: OK, while we wait for her to come out of surgery let's talk about her.....LOL..... Stocky:drama: will be just fine once she gets her first cup of Water and:spit:.......then she will know she is banded....for life.

Stocky the crutches always kill me.......LOL How was the Phiso....tasty?

....:think .....

Both After a few bites Nope Anything to tenderize meat should help. (Marinade) Don't eat things you know won't go down Putting Water on top of the pb, just makes it worst, it just sits on top, it doesn't go down.

Magic I am so sorry to hear you have not restriction but until you do you will have to work hard to get where you want to be. A month out from surgery, you know you should not be eating steak and cheese. Just because you can eat it does not mean to do so. LIVE LIKE YOU ARE BANDED. Pretend it is doing it's job and drink a shake for Breakfast, eat a Protein bar for snack, eat a salad with chicken for lunch, drink no carb, no sugar drinks and lots of Water. Leave the carbs alone or eat them in moderation. Prepare a meal plan and don't forget to move your body. Walk in place during commercials or dance to 3 songs in a row. Come on Magic it is not easy anyway you look at it, with or without the restriction. To much restirction is hell and no restriction is also.:nervous

Stocky thank you again..... you are the bomb. Thank you Karen for putting together our monthly meetings. This meeting in particular was awesome. We had lots of time to spend together, very informative on finding out what Protein drinks and bars we like. I think South Beach was the winner. The food was great without the wait, the bartenders did a great job....Stocky and LSasha. Thanks you guys for being patient with me, I am not a professional measurement takerer. If there is something else you want to measure, feel free to give me numbers and of what and I will jot them down. It was great meeting Phyllis and Naiomi (sp). Everyone brings something great to the table. LSasha and Kee you guys have been doing great with your eating and it shows. Kee you are not going to need surgery at the rate you are losing. LOL :omg: Barbara and Leona it was great seeing you guys and thank you Leona for blowing us away with your AWESOME voice. "Thank You":eek: Congratulations Connie you are looking and good with your new band, your scars are lovely. Thanks guys for taking the pictures. It is going to be so important for us to document our weight loss for encouragement. There is nothing like seeing where you came from. LESSON LEARNED: South Beach Bars are great:hungry: High, lean protein and veggie meals and Meal Replacement bars and shakes is key to losing consistantly. Drinking Water and no calorie drinks is best.:spit: We have a great MD support group:grouphug: GOALS: Can you guys please put your goals here so we can continue to encourge each other.
