It's a known fact that when we watch TV and/or movies, we tend to eat . Try to drink like water or chew gum if you get the munchies..sound like youre doing the right thing..i thought about joining netflix too, let me know how that works out..im so bad about taking movies back on time lol

I have a fitness center at my apartment where i stay. I wish i had a personal trainer. I need help working out, plus i don't want to do it alone...i hope the best for you..just dont groan before 11...i'll still be sleeping hehehe me and my puppy Triton.

i love the shrimp scampi i never go for the cheese cake even now..but it gonna be hard to give up the scampi..i can't wait to make the change!!

lol @ last week you were having second thoughts...this is my third time, but im for sure gonna do it..i've not been banded yet... Kat

awesome!!!

btrieger-you are so right...they know how to microwave, sometimes i think my oldest (14) knows a bit more than me when it comes to cooking LOL dswims-thanks so much for that...now if only i can get my girls to eat chili :thumbup: but all this is lapband-diet-userfriendly?

lollllllllllllll i have 2 kids (i'm ashamed to say):thumbup: i wish it wa so easy..this will be motivation and a learning experience as well i think..unfortunatly i'm not a good cook..thanks for the suggestion..i love those meals

Still waiting for the date.. while i'm waiting on the clearance to get to my doctor thats gonna do me, i find myself eating out all the time..even before, i think im addicted to eating out..i get home late, seems like daily i forget to take something out to cook. I am gonna buy a slow cooker, im hoping there are meals that are healthy that i can cook in it...

you know, I read your blogs. You must be really proud. I think its amazing that you committed to writing down your intake daily. i am gonna be banded soon, and have no idea what im doing..dont know what to buy for groceries, dont know what to stock my cabinets..just lost..i wish you the best and keep it up..i for one admire you :thumbup:

whoo!!whooo!!

Sheesh, this time around is the hardest. They called me and told me that they saw an abnormality when I did the stress test. I told them I am fine, they were just seeing things. The doc then said there are at times false positives, and he wants me to do an angiogram. Friday (this past), I did the angiogram..THEY FOUND NOTHING!!! unbelievable waste of time..it is frustrating, i understand they want to make sure im ok but still, nothing changed from 2 years ago to now...anyway..so now i am cleard, I wait for the date...

look in the mirror hon, and when you do, you'll remember why...i've not done it yet. I'm right along there with you. don't lose hope!!

Has anyone found themselves totally pigging out before surgery?? It seems like lately i keep eating and eating and i just can't stop..I know its psychological..it HAS to be...I don't want to say what i've been eating and where, but one thing is for sure...it's like i've been starving forever. I don't know when my surgery is. I have to wait for the results of the stress~test.

I remember they asked how my weight affects my job, my lovelife <dating etc>, how I think people perceive me. Has my weight deterred me from doing certain things. I told her I can't get a date, I'm too fat, I can't get a promotion, that people look at me in funny ways..things like that..hoped it helps..good luck Oh, btw, this is my third time.the first two i stopped..i had started my pre-op diet but chickened out..I have a stress test on the 18th then i think im home free...I hope the best for you..stay strong!!

take things one day at a time. Good luck to ya
