Yea only make the small amnt, i actually made the recipe up but off of a larger cookie recipe:D We had 12 total, and there are 3 left, goodness.. they were liked lol. I only had 3 though so not so bad.. 150 cals.. and if you do splenda its even less!!!:smile2: How is ur forth going tina??

Tamra we were told at the fill that this is bran new, so you might even be the first class...... wish someone else knew though:D

The first time i made Spag squash mike hattttted it.. this time he went back. Its such a nice alternative and whats nice is how lil cals it is!

Tina do a lettuce shell! Thats what i do when the tortillas are too many calories for my day:D AND its good!!! Ok so i made the cookies, and i ate one lol.. VERY GOOD and only 49 cals each! 1/2 c crunchy peanut butter 1/4 c Sugar (there would even be less calories if u do splenda!!!) 1/8 cup egg beaters Mix them all and bake for almost 9 min.. at 350, just keep an eye on them:D They taste just like normal cookies but not as much FAT! Wonderful!!!:smile2: THE HUBS is even stealing them all.. Oh yeah it makes 12 cookies...

I choose the Lap Band because of all the positive information I found on it. I love my band, I have been banded now since 3/31/09 I can not see my port nor can i barely feel it... I really think what the previous poster said refers more per persons body... and im a size 10/12 so thats pretty good. My port also has never hurt a lot of people complain of that... and i have had no complications, no PBing and i can eat what i want in moderation... It really is a personal decision.. i have heard the realize band is a newer band??? In my opinion they all do the same job so pick whatever:D

WOW! I just saw this thread for the first time, I have to say you are kickin butt! A huge inspiration! I am going to have to share this with my friend she was told to loose 80 lbs first.. so yeah same boat of needing a huge loss first. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

I love my band!:smile2: I have the Lap Band 10cc

B: Egg Beater Quiche 150cal L: 1 c watermelon 46 cal D: 2/3 c Spagetti Squash, 1/8 c red sauce, mushrooms and onions, 1/2 sausage link 1/3 piece toast (around 350 cals) Hmm a lil low for the day maybe i shall get hmm yogurt;) we will see... My band seems to be working better i dont really get hungry i hope this lasts i remember it afte rmy last fill but it was gone after my malibu vacation.. How i made the spagetti squash and even the hubby had 2nds and 3rds:D Cut it into 4, Boiled some water added fresh onion slices and garlic and a lil bit of butter. LITTERALLY a lil bit... 1 tsp or so...i used a knife.. Ok cover and boil for 20 min i also added some garlic salt and other seasonings. When done the "spagetti" literally is already falling off the skin. It is soo easy! AND get this it tastes like spagetti.. The first time i made it was in the micro and it was not that easy to get it off the skin, and it was more crunchy... then i made some tomato sauce to put a lil on and then ate that with the sausage.. prob my first favorite healthy meal... Ok so for excersize i did the day one of c25k, i was able to do 2 miles in the 30 min that made me happy... we are gonna go for our walk in a while... Im ready to update my ticker.. so lets do this! OHHHH i find im full longer during the day when i drink the sugar free water additive stuff like CL.. anyone else find that. Cause i seriously wasnt hungry all day... The watermelon was tasty though:D

Tina go sit on ebay to distract:D Thats what ive been doing, buying new clothes:D You can really find some excellent deals there!!! I cant wait for my walk tonight and then fireworks.. or maybe fireworks first.. lol i dont know.. Im doing good with the food today, maybe i finally got some restriction??? Cause yesterday and today im doing better. I REALLY want to make some peanut butter cookies though and i found a recipe for 60 cals, i keep telling myself they are protein if i have one im fine lol im bad girl.

Im going to do this one: Susan B. Anthony Race Website I think, i just realized how close it is lol. I wont be done with the c25k program by then, so i guess ill see when im fit enough. The Susan G Koman race is in September.. I cant afford the tahoe one... That is too much to put out for a race right now.

Candra, keep at it.. the .9 is nothing, that could be a glass of Water you drank today, or a bite of food, its honestly nothing. Probably sodium. We all watch the scale mess around, and i agree 1000000% its crap.. but it is what it is. Watch your clothes! Also id be jazzed with the waist because that is 1 more inch you don't have to worry about post op. This is how i look at my weight loss, i am sooo glad for the weight i lost during preop and im sure ALLLLL of us can agree, that it helped because it was just that much closer to goal. We all have been hitting plateus, and to be honest ive gone back to my sugar free crystal lite kinda stuff:D I do half water bottles and half that.. Please dont get discouraged, we all have this point, and you are going to be soo much better after. Just be sure to be journaling.. i honestly think me writing down and posting to the group is what is keeping me on track.. not only am i journaling again, im posting it for the world to see so i think about each damn bite lol.

BTW Auds is taking to her toddler bed very well, she grabbed her blankie earlier and wlaked me to her room got in her bed i tucked her in and she fell asleep! No tears nothin... im thinking she was ready???

Good Job Heather!!! I would do the tri girl thing but i cant.. i have a major fear of Water so swimming i am not good at.. If its 2-4 feet im good but anything more nah.. and my head cant go under if my feet arent touching.. Im pathetic:(

BTW question for those of us that did the 5 dpt and any other get back on track tests.. once you started eating normally again did you put back on any of that weight??? I did... It took me a week to get back down to 188.... Just wondering if its just me or if its normal...

So tina you dont wanna talk to me about thinning hair... i am 24 and they already say i have bad alopecia.. I use the Nioxin hair treatments, its pretty pricey but it keeps my scalp supposedly holding onto hair and since my hair loss has slowed since starting it i believe it.. i just wish i would get growth..... Im thinking of dieing my hair and perming, any of you know how to do it??? They say a perm slight wave adds a bounce and makes it look like more hair...... SOOO last night was auds first nite in her new bed... she did awesome. Woke when i went on my c25k at 9:30 and i guess she got out of bed and walked out with all her blankets lol. NO TEARS, normally we have tears in the mornings..I am so darn proud of her, i hope she stays good.... Ill post pics later on today when i find what i did withthe camera:D SO, since i wanna do the 5k this winter i started the couch to 5k.. i have 2 things to say.. 1. on the darn treadmill ican run for 10 min straight and im fine... on cement it doesnt work that way... lol 2. I am excited to finish it but im scared ill hurt my knee again..... What was cool is i finished mine and mikes normal 1.5 miles in 20 min so i kept going i did 2 miles in 30 min.. BUT i think i am over running or i have asthma.. my chest starts POUNDING soo hard it hurts... and i look at my heart monitor and it says 197 and up for my rate... that doesnt sound good to me what do you girls think? Oh im gonna pay for the 5k ill email you all the info when i do:D Im really excited about it..and my hubby and baby might do it with me:D And it would be nice if some of you wanna do it too!!! Ok happy forth everyone!

CHEEZE ITS!!!!! Gosh they are soooo good:D I opened the box gave auds 6 and closed it i was soo proud:D Off to bed have a nice nite! Good luck tomorrow!

Lol so i had my atm out and ready to buy the dvd, then mike looks over i have everything inputed and i hear "what are you buying now" lol needless to say i guess i have enough workout videos...:smile2: So i snacked tonight damn it! Atleast its only 50 cals that i snacked on.. but still! I made a quiche the one i mentioned earlier:D And well it looked so mighty tasty that i tried it. Oh well im still down for the day. :eek: Whats everyones plans for tomorrow? Oh btw we got her crib broken down:( and her tot bed put up... and she fell asleepon the couch.. like always:) and i put her in her new bed gave her her blankey she woke up i gave her a kiss and we left she was lookin around! Sooo cute, now she is dead asleep..

Well we figured out at about 6 why they didn't call us, its a holiday to them. They already dont work all day on fridays. So i kept my family down for why???:eek: I hope we hear something on monday, how long would you wait to call???? SOOO.. I didnt get a workout in today i spent 2 hours at walmart... Well i made a list and i stuck to it, so proud:D OK, so we got... a bed. Here is why mike told me that she was tryin to get out, and im the non believer well when i went in to get her i saw my darling child half way over her crib.. so then when i was at wally i was asking all the moms lol yes im social bumblebee sometimes.. and they all said around 19/20 months is when they transfered... They said yeah its hard emotionally and everything but its dangerous at a point, they said a lot of people just pull the side off her crib and put up the rail (we dont have that) so we got her this adorable lil bed ill take a picture when mikes done building it:D Its soo bittersweet i hate her growing up but i know that if i try to hold her down its not good either. So we shall see how this works out. Well what else, i bought all 4 flavors of laughing cow cheese lol i love that stuff... oh and i bought...... Cheeze its................ i am testing myself! We shall see how i can do. Tina i told ya girl you were in 16s!!!! Remember the pants at the meeting?? When are you girls gonna believe me:D:D I gotta cuddle someone till shes ready for bed.... ttys

B: 1 egg and 1 laughing cow cheese 105cal L: 2/3 c chili lots of meat and beans yum 200 cal D: 1 king crab leg, 4.5 shrimp, 2 sm brussel sprouts 2 tbsp macaroni salad yay no snacking yet! Oh my dinner was soo yummy! yummmmmmmy:D Im so lame. AND i am gonna work my butt off for NO snacking tonight!

Riley i would have to agree, i am feeling more and more of the band at work, today I havent felt hungry or anything all day. Pretty nice. And i had lunch at 1:30 and forgot that my family needs to eat and its going on 7!!! I hope this stays!!! I even made a shopping list, and its NORMAL! lol. funny how on it i have things like Extra firm tofu (yeah im makin him try it...) and shrimp and cans of tuna and ham to keep me stocked lol... laughing cow cheese! egg beaters.. OHHH i have a grand idea! Get the southwestern egg beaters mushrooms and cheese a pie shell and thats it. Make a quiche with that! It will be like 200 cals per serving i cant wait to try it! After we eat dinner ill do my check in:D But congrats on the pants told ya youd fit in 12s:D Right now im making bread... gonna try making it for my family instead of buying maybe it will be better for them?? ALSO im gonna try making butter. I found a recipe and its way less calories then store bought! Not sure how that happens.. any ideas???

You go girl! BTW has anyone been drinking crystal lite again?? I started......

Thanks i think she cute also :eek: Im not sure if she would, she once slept with us on an airbed camping and slept all nite long with no moving around... Its so hard to make this choice cause if she stands up the bar comes to about 3 inches above her belly botton right below her chest... So if she wanted out she could... I just am so new to this,, i dont wanna put her in a tot bed if its too early but it would be nice to give her some independence and not need me to wake her up when i want her to lol.

Oh my gosh i finally figured it out!

Oh yeah and tina, the friends were not girls.. and he was ok with it! I think he worried but there was no fight he told me to have fun, and he just waited till i got home to make sure i was ok, he didnt call or text the whole time either! It made me feel very good!
