Wow u sound like my mother... and it is so amazing my mother would have been 54 september 28th.... She was the same way and so am I. Wow that is sad... I can't stand when people look at people with a tone like that...

I was going to say the same thing....

That is cool... I am so proud of u... Thank's for sharring your experience... Trust me u help'd me more than you could ever imagine...:party::thumbup::party:

That is fantastic as well..... wow... you all are doing a great job...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Wow now that's what i'm talking about.... Thanks for the info.... I am so glad that u are doing ok... How does the port site feel now?

That is fantastic...... congratulations..... wooooohoooooooo:thumbup::party::thumbup::party::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

U gal's are great.... and U all inspire me also. Everyday we make better choices makes that bad food choice giant even smaller... I want it to disappear for good and never return.... We are all here for each other....

Yes we do and u are so right... I know a lot of people that are doing good like yourself don't post often. I see more of the newbies like myself looking for answers. We all need inspiration. I would love to see threads like u know i drove up to burger king to get a whopper w/cheese but i decided to drive off or something. I think I want others to post their good days not just the bad ones. Because we all do slip but we should give a high five for the good days that people have also... Congratulations for being 3-weeks out and doing as good as you are...

I agree with u and Alex. You could have gotten Apple dippers and just ate the apples, u could have gotten 3pks. they are only $1.00 You should have the shakes in the can ready to go. They are pre-made. I am with the tough love. If I make a mistake and I post it I want you all to rip my azz into shreads.... because that is the only way I will figure it out.. hey others are saying the same thing.. so i gotta do what i gotta do. You know when u pulled up and went thru the drive thru u prob. said I shouldn't even be here. Follow your first mind because the 2nd one is always the ohhhh it's ok.. and IT'S NOT... You waited all of this time to get banded, went thru the pain. Baby keep it movin... The hell with McDonalds, and other fast food joints because they are all there to keep us overweight, lazy and broke..... U slipped now get up dust yourself off and get back on track....

i would think that they gave him a nausea medication to help control that when he was in the hospital.. if u call his Dr.'s office and let the nurse know that he is feeling nausiated they will prpb. prescribe something for that for him...Also ginger root is good to help with nausea... You can get that from the Vitamin shop Ginger check this link out also

I would definately speak with a nutrionist... your Dr. should not tell u what to eat from what i was told that is what the nutronist is for. I was told to stay away from fibrous veggies and fruit as well as breads... I haven't been banded yet but i have read over the material like 1000x that really seems strange. I would give them a call today and tell them that you know people that have had the band and they are not allowed to eat what you are eating... r u doing something wrong or what. I would think u would be ok.. but at the same time u might not loose as fast as u want, but then again u may....

Awww u will be ok.... Don't allow your nerves to get the best of you. When u return home just make sure that you take your pain med's and get some gas x or something like that... do u have everything u need after u get home?

It sure is.. we are going to be band sisters...:thumbup:

Well I think better now than later... if u wait too long you may decide not to get it done. This will be a life style change for you so if u have to eat less and or make better food choices big deal.... It's going to be the summer anyway... and the more weight you can loose between now and july will be more than just a few i'm sure... I would do it now.... but thats my opinion.

Congratulations....wow you have waited a really long time... but trust me it will be worth the wait...

OMG... That is love... wow.... Congrats....

Congrats... I am being banded on the 15th of may as well...

:huh2: Once I drop this weight. No one will be able to stop me from wearing high heals... OMG I was just looking on a few sights and they have some really sexy strappy heals... and i was like wow... I would have hoped that i could have rocked them this year, but that's ok.. I am going to do all the work this year so I can strut my stuff next year.. and when i do baby watch out.... I hope you all can see the shoe.... If there is a better way to add the shoe so it will show up in the post plz let me know.. but I think that would be hott. for everyone to post a pair of the sexiest pair of heal would like to wear once you reach your goal... Wouldn't you love to dance all night long....

I am so glad u posted this Thread!!!! I am going to get realll personal now... my brother was killed in 2001(nov) and he had an addiction that he was trying to take control of. I had realized at that time that I was getting serious with loosing weight because I was tired of being fat... so we had a heart to heart talk... I told him that i understand his addiction because at first i was like why dont u just stop!!! :smile2:.. U don't need that bull:cursing:... Are u kidding me.. Then it's like i had a ahhh haaa moment.. Having an addiction to drugs or alcohol is the same as food. It dosent matter if the drugs are prescription, or illegal.. So we made an agreement for me not to eat junk food and not to eat when i wasen't hungry and to excercise and for him to stay away from 'bad people, and situations..I had a really bad problem with oreo Cookies, doritos, snack cakes pb cups...If you become dependent upon something u r addicted.. and i did not have to lay on someone's couch to figure it out.. God revealed it to me... . I'm so serious... a little over 2mths later he was at the wrong place at the wrong time... and was stabbed in the chest & died 2-4minutes later because he drowned in his own blood.... I lashed out, i mean totally went to left field... because i was angry.. I was like how could he go we r sopouse to be here to support each other... then i was like he didn't give up on me so i shouldn't give up... and that's when i started working out like crazy at the gym. lost over 100+lbs then got prego and gained over 85lbs back..:tongue:.. So getting back to the topic it is the same thing... too much food can kill u just like drugs and alcohol can and it actually needs to be treated as the same... we need food to live but we dont need pb cups, snack cakes, fried chicken, mac&cheese, steak sand. and so forth..I would suggest u talk to someone to help u realize what triggers your over eating and bad food choices....

When saw the number come up on my caller id screen the first thing i said was this has to be good news... My band date is set for May 15th @9am... and I have to do a 1-week pre-op diet...and swear my stalkin... calling on the phone every other day day butt better follow it to a T...lol..I have actually started eating way less anyway... so hopefully it will go pretty smooth....

Be calm and think about palm tree's....:coolgleamA:... You know your life is going to change for the better... it's going to take some getting use to but im sure it will b ok

Well congratulations on the decision to take your life back first of all... You wanted it so bad u faught for it so now that you have won 1/2 of the battle why quit now... I was told that you can take the benifiber or metamaucil (sp) to allow u to have a movement. I take Fiber everyother day so my system will be regular. We are all afraid of the unknown.. but at this point by loosing the weight that will help in improving your quality and quanity of life..... So shake the doubt off and keep it moving....:coolgleamA:

Congrats... when u get bk home... plz let us know how everything went for u...

Thanks....I will definately let u know how everything goes... yes we do i was just telling a friend that I deserve this chance...

I start on mine next thursday... but im doing it now like 90% now... yes we can do it...
