  8. Congratulations on your banding. Your weight will fuctuate but if you are eating way more then you should or unhealthy food right now, you are going to slow down your progress. Try counting calories so you can see what you are taking in. Try drinking a shake for breakfast, get your 8 cups of water in, no caloric drinks, eat a salad with you lunch and dinner, make healthier food choices. The smaller 4 to 6 meals a day maybe helpful. If you are not exercising yet, start walking 15 minutes a day or twice a day. Maybe a support group like OA or TOPS. Hopefully your first fill will give you some restriction. Good Luck
  9. A bag of chocolate chips weigh 1 pound. I gues it should not be a food item, hummmmmm. At tops we use butter as mariecarmen said. 1 stick of butter is a quarter of a pound and 4 is a pound.

  11. I was searching for them also Randy.
  12. There are always other lies out there but do you really want to know. You can tell him how you feel so he can continue to keep them from you or you can be a part of it. Tell him to give you the money he was spending on the shows and you give him a show. He is a man, that should last what, 5 to 10 minutes. LOL Hopefully you guys have a open relationship where you guys can talk, so just try to talk to him and let him know how it makes you feel.
  13. You poor thing, you life just won't be the same because of your decision to have bariatric surgery. Maybe you should sue someone. Where did you have your surgery done? Who was your surgeon? How did your piercings fair?
  14. That is a cute butt, at least you are showing the 160 pound butt and not the pre op one. LOL Thank goodness I didn't fall, everyone runnnnnnn, shield your eyes......I'm looking for a butt surgeon as I type. Sorry about the boo boo.

  18. Food Network is still my nemisis and I can't turn away. I can turn the channel walk through the living room go to the bathroom, go the kitchen and by time I get back to the living room the dag on channel is back on Food Network. How did that happen, then I say I turned from that because it was making me upset(hungry). I love food shows....ummmmmmm. Marysuee33 goodluck and let us know if you are able to get yoru car to go pass the McD. Been there done that. I have Bojangles KFC Taco Bell Burger King Popeyes Checkers Wendys and McDonalds in that order near me. (WOW I didn't relize there were so many, I need to move) I can get the closest one in 2 min and farthest in 4min. That is so sad. I thank God for my band. I still visit all of these wonderful locations but not everyday as I did in the past and my choices are a whole lot smaller or diffrent all together. Now I can actually drive pass these places even when I have money in my pocket.
  19. I love veggietales...jumping up and down. veggie taaaalees veggie taalesss *singing* cupcakes if hard floors, lillipops if there is carpet LOL bring a friend puppets for them to hold a veggie tale movie playing, that will keep the kids quiet They sale themselves.
  20. They are saying Howard was the third person in the room, who really knows what happen. Howard is so far up Anna's anus he's brown. Who is the father of her new baby?
  21. Piggy backing off T O M gripe about customer service and money exchange, I hope I'm not to heavy. I love good customer service, I truly appreciate it and I will go as far as to ask for a manager, call back to the store or call the coporate office to give kudos when fit. I also will make those same request and calls for bad service. People have fogotten commen curtousey much less good customer service. I can go to stores in MD and then to VA and it is like night in day in so many cases. I ask myself why do I drive further out to a store until I decied to revist a store closer to home. I quickly remember why I make the extra drive. Insert gripe here: I can't stand when the cashier puts the money on the counter.....what......I will stare at them and continue to hold my hand out until it gets in the palm of my hand. Please forgive me but I have run across this only with asians on about 4 occasions. If I am with someone and the cashier does that, I tell them not to pick it up. If you had put the money down on the counter I could understand but you didn't, you put it in their hand. Phone call, email, letter, something.....
  22. I have high blood pressure and while going to the gym, before being banded, I began to lose my breath after working out for a short period of time and it got worse and worse. I could barely walk. I was sent to a cardiologist to have a stress test. They did an EKG and another sonogram of my heart. I have an enlarged heart which caused the fatigue and shortness of breath. Oh yeah I could not do the stress test because my pressure was so high. I was put on meds and told to lose weight, hence lap band surgery. I need to go back and have the stress test done now.
  23. What makes a good home party #1 good food #2 tell guest to bring a friend #3 what may get me there is knowing there are give aways #4 inexpensive items or things I can actually use are being sold #5 soft music in background (jazz preferably)
