Your braver than me, I will NOT look at this YIKES !!!!!!!!! ROFLMFAO

Good Morning Its a beautiful day today, the weather is expected to be in the 70's... no wonder I can't shake this cold LOL. Watcha all got planned? Nothing much here, just cooking, cleaning, visiting MIL, a trip to the park. Ira, its good not to have trick or treaters, it keeps the unwanted candy out of the house... okay wanted candy lol. What is with the life insurance people, don't they see the band is a good thing? TEXAS GIRLS.......... HAVE FUN TODAY TAKE PICTURES PLEASE !!!

Gee Margo, thats really a decision between you and your doctor. I've read where the fills have to kick in so try waiting a week. Can you go the week after if it doesn't seem to be working? If it were me, I'd wait a week to see what happens. Sorry I'm not much help. HUGS !!!!

WHOOOOOOAH !!!!!! CONGRATULATION!!!!!! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

OH MY VIRGIN EYES

Anne, what can I say that hasn't already been said? I can offer a bit cyber hug and well wishes

Molly, I love the Viactiv chews. I suck at taking pills but I do remember to eat these things, YUM !!! put them in the frig and they take longer to chew

I hope you get to stand tall upon the drifts as well. I can almost feel your hearts glory. Hugs !!!

And why weren't you there ?

I'm coughing like mad too. Did you see your doc for meds? I did, and I called the surgeon to make sure the meds I was given was okay. I'm still coughing like a bufoon. I try to go easy but some times you just can't help it and you cought w/all your might. Good luck !!!

Oh NO !!! I'm soooo sorry !!! I just asked my doc today what size band I had and I believe he said 4 cc's. GOOD LUCK !!!!

Happy Bandiversary !!!!

I would suggest having the baked chips with the salsa. Portion control it out. For the baked (tostitoes) its 22 chips = 1 portion. As far as the salsa, you can't go wrong, enjoy as much as you can. Add some broiled ckn or something to that effect and you have dinner Some times I don't want dinner either and I'll snack on this. If you must have sour cream do the fat free and measure measure measure. We can eat our favorite foods we just have to be more aware of the alternatives.

November 4th: Thick liquid stage: Breakfast: Water coffee, milk, sweet n low Lunch: vanilla yogurt Snack: Cream of Wheat Dinner: Butternut Squash Soup from campbells YUM!!! Snack: Either Fudge Pop or FF pudding Water

HAPPY FRIDAY !!! Beanie you go girl, sickem!! I am very proud of you for starting on the dreadmill. This is JMHO but when I was over 300 lbs, I could not exercise. It just hurt to much. What I would do is walk. I did not want to do damage to my knees or ankles. It wasn't until I was about 200 lbs that I started to exercise. I felt more comfortable. So what I'm trying to say is, don't push it with the fancy equipment and such, I truly believe that the walking is EXCELLENT for you and even if its 15 minutes a day. The more you lose, the more you'll "feel" like doing. It will automatically come. YEAH on the doc appt :D WHOOHOOO !!! Cindy, I'm really glad you decided to go for the fill. I bet you'll reach your goal for your birthday I have not seen the thread w/your DD's picture...but Im gonna go check it out. I went to the doc today and lost 13 lbs in 1 and 1/2 weeks. I didn't tell them I gradulated myself to thick liquids but I did say I was ready for food and the doc said just to go slow.... They also told me to go on Vitamins... I just stood there and smiled and he said Oh, guess your already on them.. I said yes hehehehe. No exercising for me yet, they said a few more weeks (like 4). Also no fill for me for another 2 months. Thats okay b/c that will put me past the holidays. I just hope I don't gain during the holidays LOL. OY. Whats everyone doing this weekend? I know you Texas girls are meeting up, thats gonna be a blast !! Wish I could be there. My cold is still dragging me down but I'm able to do what I have to. How is everyone today ???? Luv Yah's

Your right, Tom could never turn out that pretty

Breakfast: coffee, skim milk, sweet&low Water Snack: Cranberry juice box Lunch: 1 pkt cream of wheat Dinner: vanilla Yogurt LOTS OF WATER thru the day. Chewable Vitamin

So how are you doing ? Making it so far? I caved in today, cream of wheat which is the next stage. I'm just shy my 2 weeks that I'm supposed to be on clears, I just can't take it.

Oh candy................ I was banded on the 24th and I'm still on Clear liquids. Okay i cheated, I had cream of wheat today. can't take it anymore lol. i would say the candy made ya sick...live and learn.

I don't know anyone who wasn't a basket full of nerves. This is normal. You have to really think about where you want to be in a year from now. With that said, thats your answer. Hugs !!

Now I'm Jealous !!!! Down right jealous I tell yah !! Cindy, Beanie is really tom cruise in drag

Welcome Edazul and congrats on the 8 lbs. I can't tell you either about sleeping on your stomach. I can only lay on my side. Band, its good to hear your up and about. I can't imagine being at work, I'm not ready for that. Yes two weeks, 14 days of broth. But I gotta be honest, I just snuck some cream of wheat. My first time eating so I'm being really careful. I see my doctor tomorrow :mad:
