Its never too late GLAD to have you!!!!

nonscale victories are AWESOME!!! I have to say I have been feeling a little sick these last few days. But one thing I wanna say that Ive noticed thats changed about me (well hubby brought it to my attention) I never WANT anything to eat...especially this last week....everytime my hubby has asked me this week what I want to eat Im like I dont care whatever,,,used to I would be like oh I really want sushi or I really want BBQ....now its like I dont really care....I dont "crave" foods like I used to. Now I will say I am looking forward to my trip to fl so I can eat some seafood. But I dont get those afternoon cravings for choc. or ice cream or anything like that....Its just strange how that has all changed...

I was trying to think of what to get for the meet and great and this is what I thought: Hotdogs (because all kids love hotdogs) Hamburgers (these are really good with just some cheese and ketchup-no bun) fruit (instead of chips and cookies) plenty of water and I dont know how much else you wanna do but we could do potato salad.........and whatever else.

YAY, everyone is doing GREAT!!!

Im sure that scared you to death waking up in the middle of the night like that but I am glad everything is ok. Thankfully no slippage or erosion. keep up the good work and take it easy...youve been go go going!!!

I have a 10cc band and my doc told me he likes to keep ppl around 5 cc but I have almost 7cc in mine now. What they like to and what they have to do are often 2 different things...besides .5cc may end up being your sweet spot. Good luck!!!

yeah, for some reason I think she lives in Pell City which I go right by there so next I'll just meet her.

Jason- poor Scarlett came but couldn't find us. She sent me a message this morning. I think she may have went to the wrong hospital!

yay congrats!!!!!!

YAY-I can eat CRABLEGS!!!!!!! LOL, I'm so happy I didnt have any problems at all!

WOOT WOOT!!!!:tongue::party:

Also ppl can have the same insurance as you but if their employer pays for the option to have gastric surgery coverage then they may have it whereas you may not...but yeah always have the docs run it cuz like Jason mine said it would only cover 80% but it covered almost all of it. Good luck and welcome!!!!

I didnt realize how limited the fast food menu is to lapbanders. I work for home health and if I have a long day I have to stop for food.....There are no choices....the grilled chicken isnt even good for you! And all they carry are sandwiches!! I just eat the meat...lol I tried the whole boil some eggs and put them in a little cooler or other things but man did my car stink!!!!

I'd be stuck in the bathroom for a week if I tried to eat cheesy fries!!!

Well hopefully though when you talk to your doc he'll be open I mean come one the lap band for some docs is still a pretty new thing so maybe the research he read says go slow with the fills.He doesnt know everything about everything so hopefully he's the kind of doc thats pretty open to things...Good luck!!!

Well, good luck to you and I cant say I would have thrown out that good food either ya know :wink:

Yeah, I'll be on vacation during those days so I'll be off!!!! LOL

Sue thanks for sharing. I need to get back to basics as well and really start monitoring my calorie intake again. I used to do if for every meal but have really been slacking off lately. Thanks!!!

Im glad you said it, I wanted to say it but you know. This is an awesome idea!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU WILL DO IT!!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::party::party::party::hurray::hurray::hurray::welldoneclap::)

Whatcha been doin? Im curious I need a little change I think.

It sounds like your afraid that you'll go into the pbing and throwing up and getting sick stuff now with your new fill......Youve gotten comfortable with the mushies because theyre the old foods that taste so good.....when you get this much restriction its hard to find that sweet spot...it takes a lot of ity bitty adjustments...........You can do it. I actually went thru this the opposite way. I got an unfill because I couldnt eat anything (not even cookies) and when I got the unfill it was like wow I can suddenly eat anything and boy did I ever..I ate out for Breakfast lunch and dinner and it didnt take but 2 days and I stepped on that scale and was up 5lbs....that stopped that right there. I immediately went back and had a slight refill.....Sometimes it takes your doc showing you on his paper (at least it did for me) that I had gained wt back. Those habits and cravings are always going to be there...its up to use to control it. You can get yourself out of this. I finally had to stop having all the bad food in my house, Ive found that if its not there I wont eat it even though wal mart is less than a mile from my house my cravings come at night but I wont drive that mile to walmart Now when ppl come over I tell them I dont keep cokes, chips, cakes or Cookies in my house if you want you bring it! Take a day and refocus...start writing down what youre eating and when you see all those empty calories......give yourself a jumpstart!!! Good luck!!!:tongue_smilie: Do you have a work out buddy or a good support system at home? Is there someone you can say hey be my eating buddy or my work out buddy. I tell my husband to remind me when Im eating something bad...he does I feel bad about it and put it away. Now some days Im like look this is my off day Im gonna eat something that I want...you have to do it every now and then. This is about finding a healthy balance! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
