im doing fair vicki...good days and fair days. still on soft foods...havent been able to tolerate more dense foods

congrats yvette...and good luck vicki

lol...the drinking will do you in...im glad you avoided the city grill and stayed safe

hope everyone is having a good weekend

im doing well. no i havent gotten anything stuck but i can only eat very small amounts of food. i lost about 20 lbs since surgery but now my weight has been steady so im trying to increase my exercise. but when i got the band i lost alot the first month too

sorry to hear that vicki. but everyone is different. personally, for me i have to limit my carbs or i would gain. i eat very little bread, not alot of fruit and the bad carbs are def a nono for me

lol.....it was a workout...i went for a walk there the next day but didnt make the climb

hi all! i am still planning the picnic for sept 11th...everyone will just need to let me know what they are bringing. so far yvette says turkey burgers. i also have a couple friends that are banded but dont post here that will prob come. i may need everyone to bring a chair as i prob have about 10-14 chairs. yes i did climb the tower....now that was a good workout. yes the hula hoop was fun!

how is everyone doing?

great yvette

i always say im a cheap date...lol

no one has said anything yet...its still early though. im still planning on the 11th, i thought maybe 2 or 3pm. but we will have to know what people will bring, although we dont eat too much....lol...i think it will be fun

lol...sounds like it will be a fun time

i will def be there with a friend of mine...cant wait

i didnt either at first. just follow the rules...eat slow, that is so important and stop eating when you feel full. eat your protein first then your veggies and you will learn when to stop. it is also very important to get a handle on the head hunger...everyone can tell you that

you will learn to see the signs when you are full. i used to hiccup or burp and that was my tummy telling me it was full...lol

hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weekend. well im back to work tomorrow.....i weighed my self today and accoring to my scale im down 13 lbs since surgery...of course i am hardly eating a thing...even compared to the band from what i can remember...have a good day

hi everyone! i think the date of the picnic will be 9/11 as the 12th is the first bills game and im sure people will want to watch it (i know i will). so ill send out a reminder email later in august. but everyone weigh in on what u think, please

that sounds like where the port is. as you lose weight you will be able to feel the port. that can be sore for awhile, esp when lying down

yes it does...i think it does with the band because of the port. its sore but not exactly pain

it does feel good...doesnt it

glad everything is going well for u anny

im feeling good vicki, just tired. but i walk everyday. i have lost about 12 lbs so far. i just started on mushies

you can try tuna, egg salad, cottage cheese...things like that to start, then go more solid as you tolerate. you do want to stay aay from the high carb foods, your weight loss will be better

i can do the 11th but with it being 9/11 i wasnt sure if people wanted to do it that day. either day is fine i just need to know which
