I am staying on plan today because as the days go on its getting easier to just say no!!!!:hungry:

I had my post already first fill will be 1/7/08 I promise myself that if I got approved I would not stress myself I though the insurance process will be the hard part.

Dr. Marsden is in Argyle on Tuesday and he just open a office in Austin

I also went to AIGB and my Dr was DR.Marsden I called everyday I found out I was approved before AIGB found out I called and told them they only call onece a week and they had called the day before I got approved so If I had to wait on them it would have been another week so when I found out I was approved I called Dr. Marsden office and setup my pre opt appointment because Dr. Marsen will do a 10-14 day pre opt diet but want to the surgery til u have the letter in hand ....by the way he is great me and my coworker had the surgery her Dr. was Dr. Carter her incison is huge you cannot even see mines. :whoo: GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

I don't think I am keeping it a secret just don't want everyone inmy business people thank it's ok to comment on your life, and I don;t want all of the stupit question, I told my husband and a few coworker and 2 sister I want to surprise my mom, dad and other sister and brother they live out of state so will see them in 6 months

How about December BEFORE Pics? thanks imsamiam that was so hard to do but I fiqure it will make me more motivated to get the after pic up so far its working I am also keeping up with the before pic at home I can see a difference in my face and tummy already .

yeah I think we all are my DR. said when your swelling go down your band we get lose causing you to get hungry once you are able to eat regular food you should layer your food meaning eat some meat first then sides if still not full eat the rest of your meat then sides the meat will sit in you tummy and take long to digest and make you feel full longer.

:eek:OMG it sounds like me. I called my Dr. and confused he said that the first 2 weeks is so important to let the Band settle in its spot in your tummy and that you don't want to scratch the pouch this early on that was enought for me to get me back on track. when I went to my post opt appointment he said all was fine , he said that they don't want you to eat because he don't trust that this early we will know when to stop so that's why most Doctor put u on liquids for long period of time. so as long as u stay in the 1/2 cup range you should be fine. they know we will mess up at first it a process that we must learn.....

Just curious what is everyone New Years Resolution since you got the band. this is going to be the first year in almost 6years that losing weight want be one. I promise myself this year weight loss will not be mines, I will focus on being more outgoing and sucessful at my job I will work hard and move up a notch on the Corp Ladder.

I am making mines at home with the Sonic Ice and a blendar that my New Years Eve Drink of choice this year.

man that's a long time to be on all liqids I had only 1 week on liquids second week soft soilds week three regular food , I say try some tuna in the second week just a tablespoon something that will stick to u and not hurt

damit I can barely see that far lol I think I have one I need to look in the mirror hey that's is going to be a goal for myself to see things down there again...

I have no restriction right now this may sound crazy but sometime I eat something and then spit it out I just miss certain tastes and get it and then spit the food out I did this with a brownie today after that I didn't want it.

I eat a lot of chicken I have been getting about 40grams just with food so I think I will be fine

:omg:one slice of cheesecake can set be back a extra 40 min of working out I will stick to 1 slice of yellow cake .

my Dr. don't give fills til 4 weeks post opt he said swelling fromthe surgery and a fill at the same time is not a great combo... so I will get my frst fill on Jan 7

I have been using my bugg for 3 days I just weight myself today just to checkin and I am already down 1lb I have no Restriction so this is all will power and exercise cannot wait to weigh in in 2 weeks when I go to get my first fill .....

I just started spin classes boy is my butt sore I will try those shorts you guys was talking about that's my only problem

Thanks Kelintx I Didn't Know That

Good Luck To Everyone That Is Have Surgery This Week !!!! What A Great Christmas Gift.....

I have learn to be with the help of the bodybugg it teaches me to burn more calories than I consume I burn 1500 more caloires than I eat if you do that for a week you can lose between 2-3lbs a week seeing it in black and white every night helps me (right it down keep a journal)

that's my mine to have that 1 slice and workout a extra 20 min. that night has long as I burn more then I comsume you will be fine.
