    We have talked about this before... and I thought I was eating plenty of them since I have been eating what I want right now.

    Well, my lunch is a Campbell's Soup at Hand... only 130 calories! My Breakfast is a Protein shake with about the same...

    I seriously doubt that whatever I eat for supper will equal up to 800-900 calories?

    I am not a big calorie counter (brainwashed by the great Dr. Atkins) so what can I do to ADD some healthy calories?

    THANKS!

    Welcome!

    I was banded in Houston also. It looks like we are around the same weight, you being lighter... I was banded on the 9th of November and I have lost 20 lbs. I love this band. My family doesn't understand either. My hubby does tho and that is all that matters to me. If you want to email me or PM me sometimes, go ahead!

    Congrats on your NEW LIFE!!!

    Not to cause waves but here is my thinking...

    My Dr. told me to consume at least 800 a day. Actually stay between 800-900 a day. Also he said to walk at least 30 minutes a day. No sugar and junk food. He told me that if I want to lose 100% of my excess weight that this is what I should do. He also said that if you don't do the above you will lose 50% of excess weight which I am sure you all know.

    In my opinion, my band is there for when I slip up and can't do the above... It is PHYSICALLY impossible for me to sit down and eat a bag of Cookies now... I think that is why I decided to do this, knowing that I have to eat right for the rest of my life, but also knowing that if I slip there is now a catch...

    I have seen a lot of people post here that if they wanted to diet they could have done that without the band, but obviously we couldn't that is why we are fat. I think it is a great tool, but we do have to do everything we can if we expect to lose ALL of our extra weight.

    Just my opinion...

    There was an old married couple that had lived happily together for

    nearly forty years. The only friction in their marriage was caused by

    the husband's habit of breaking wind nearly every morning as he awoke.

    The noise would always wake up his wife and the smell would cause her

    eyes to Water as she would choke and gasp for air. Nearly every

    morning she would plead with him to stop ripping such nasty farts.

    He told her that he couldn't help it. She begged him to see a doctor

    to see if anything could be done, but the husband wouldn't hear of it.

    He told her that it was just a natural bodily function and then he

    would laugh in her face as she tried to wave the fumes away with her

    hands. She told him that there was nothing natural about it and if he

    didn't stop, he was one day going to "fart his guts out."

    The years went by and the wife continued to suffer and the husband

    continued to ignore her warnings about "farting his guts out" until

    one Thanksgiving morning. Before dawn, the wife went downstairs to

    prepare the family feast. She fixed pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes,

    gravy and of course a turkey. While she was taking out the turkey's

    innards, a thought occurred to the wife as to how she might solve her

    husband's problem. With a devilish grin on her face, she placed the

    turkey guts into a bowl and quietly walked upstairs hours before her

    flatulent husband would awake. While he was still soundly asleep, she

    pulled back the covers and then gently pulled back her husband's

    jockey shorts. She then placed all of the turkey guts into her

    husband's underwear, pulled them up, replaced the covers and tiptoed

    back downstairs to finish preparing the family meal.

    Several hours later she heard her husband awake with his normal loud

    ass-trumpeting. This was soon followed by a blood curdling scream and

    the sound of frantic footsteps as her husband ran to the upstairs

    bathroom.

    The wife could not control herself and her eyes began to tear up as

    she rolled on the floor laughing. After years of putting up with him,

    she had finally gotten even!

    About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his blood

    stained underpants with a look of horror in his eyes. She bit her lip

    to keep from laughing and she asked him what was wrong.

    He said, "Honey, you were right - all those years you warned me and I

    didn't listen to you"

    "What do you mean?" asked his wife.

    "Well you always told me that I would end up farting my guts out one

    of these days and today it finally happened. But by the grace of God

    and these two fingers,... I think I got'em all back in!!!"

    This is NOT a true story about my family. I got it from someone else. But, have a good laugh with this one, anyway:

    One year at Thanksgiving my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store and sent her to get it. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.

    When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news,

    my sister started to cry.

    It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!

    Day 12 and I feel like a million bucks!!! I have lost 18 pounds and I can fit into one size smaller black pants! I am really excited about that. I just can't wait to see where I am a year from now. My hubby says that it is going to be real hard to not get me pregnant... hehehe He can already tell a big difference. (He wasn't banded, but he is losing weight also, just because I am not stopping for junk every evening)
