ok - will break down and get powdered PB :thumbup: i know i'll still have to keep jiff in the house, can't see DH EVER trying:) yesterday - still have a cough/cold: b- bowl lentil soup s- sf strawberry jello l- slice cheddar & melba toast s- sf choc jello d- lemon italian ice

g4e, if your getting proper treatment & feel relief - i am thrilled. i had a very bad experience & therefore jaded, and would just offer caution. they don't carry a MD lisc. & liability is yours to own -............ (hugs) - lu

totally fair - if you get relief great..... i'm going to take MD advise on medical issues not a glorified masseuse.......sorry bad experience * jaded.

you've not cleansed the blow up doll?

time for second opinion - really not a fan of chiros so i'll back off my real opinion of the matter.... KC - waiting on gross story

i think we lost the OP.

posting a link to the news story on this would be best for dialogue on the subject..

agreed. if your wise enough to tackle your weight issue - you should be practical in understanding the precautions of becoming a parent when your not ready - few wks post op is not optimal. most dr's (at least mine) totally suggest multiple forms of birth control for up to a yr post op or until at goal. take pregnancy & std's out of the picture - do you want to get pregnant a month out from surgery when it is your prime weightloss period?

but, but Red 3 is my go to:) to the OP - honestly, if your not interested in being a parent at this time ... double/triple protection should be paramount.

i like roulette - but only in vegas........

i do love to cook - but have never tried tofu. could you please diva post your recp or PM me? i love it when out, but have never tried it out on my own. the sushi bar DH and i go to frequently rolls cubes of it in a wasabi tempura & frys it....OMG decadent:)

oye is all i say - let me know how you like the pb2 - i have a hard time giving up my jiff:) yesterday b- slice of cheddar / apple with JIFF:smile2: l- small cup chicken noodle soup d- bowl of lentil soup s- FF choc pudding

i think enough of us are sick & twisted - please send. i'm bored @ home w/some funky speedy cough meds - and am told to rest for a day or so. don't know to do that really, so pls share:)

hey susie - so weird this post came up today in our surgery month / yr. i just had 2.2cc's taken out this afternoon because i had a nagging cough/reflux. he thought it was all band related, but i had swollen glands and a little ear ache - so with the unfill he gave me some antibiotics to fight infection. i've been the same weight for almost a yr - i read your post and took a deep breath.....DON'T want to gain, so might have to put more time in the gym???:smile: i've had 9 fills & 5 unfills since oct/07 - hopefully this will be the final stop??? hang in there!!!!

quickie post - called to schedule an unfill & my dr's nurse told me to get to the hospital right away (my side of town) as my surgeon is just wrapping up a surgery and will wait for me. his practice is clear on the other side of the metroplex (1.5hr from me). did NOT hesitate to take 2.2ccs' out - back to 5cccs. don't feel any different - i'm swollen he says & will take more out next wk if no improvement. glad i made a pot of lentils this wkend:):smile:

not unless someone is chasing me. i did the c5k & 1 race and that's all i needed - HATE it. found spinning and i were much more compatible.....but congrats BETH!!! ebony - your attitude was great, probably the reason BB was stammering. good luck w/your therapy slim! *scheduling unfill - have a nagging cough & reflux, and more importantly trouble eating - soup at lunch was a chore* sux cause the scale finally started to break after a yr of hanging on up/down the same 5lbs - but i can't risk any damage. i rely too much on the sucker...

i had been doing bootcamp as well - i missed the last wk, due to a muscle pull....but i will def sign back up in a few wks when my gym starts up another round. congrats & welcome to the thread!

check out the podcast too. this wkend - nothing reall today - lower body weight training / 30min stairmaster / 20min treadmill

i get mine at whole foods or central market.

that' like irish butter? that's what i buy/use - salty & creamy.

i don't mess w/the real stuff - like butter too. real or i go w/out....blech, turky bacon

yesterday - b- half english muffin w/cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, onion, tomato l- small cup of lentils d- 2 bb ribs & few bites of beans

i actually think it tastes better the next day - i'll send you a note on the shiritaki noodles - took me a LONG time to prepare them right, so they don't taste like rubber. ingyrob, my husband is also banded - and typically can't eat his first meal till the afternoon (3-4pm). protein drinks/lentil soup/greek yogurt is his go to - till the evening meal which he has no problem with. this has been his norm since banding.

first time in 2yrs i had a REAL coke yesterday - opened it, put it on ice to get some bubbles out & it was FANTASTIC. i about went into a sugar coma afterwards, but i looked at my husband as if i had the most amazing dining experience:):wink2:

yesterday - b- iced skinny cap l- sm chicken cesar salad d/s - *cocktail party - picked on crap i shouldn't have.....way too much of bad stuff lets just say*
