    How many calories?

    Hi all, I have lost about sixty pounds since I started my journey, but I don't think i am losing as much as I could. I will start counting my cals as much as I hate it. I think I am eating 1000-1500 a day, with a 4cc fill. I do not excerise which i am going to change. I have been walking my mother's dog on the weekend Ha Ha Ha!!!! I do not have enough restriction I can still eat more than a cup of food. I still am looking for the swet spot. We can do this:smile: Kim:thumbup:
  11. Hi, I just want to thank you for your post. It is a good question. I am female so we don't always see the weight issue the same way in relationships. I have recently decided to date again. I am wondering how I am going to tell people I may want to date. So good luck with your surgery and good luck with your relationship.:ohmy: Peace Kimtwan
  12. Hi, I have not been banded yet!!! I am wondering if there are people out there who have had a gastric bypass after they had been banded or a failed band. What are the reasons that one would consider a bypass after lapband failure. Kim waiting:thumbup:
  13. Hi all I was banded on January 26, 2009 and I have lost pre and post surgery 40 pounds. I eat a good bit, but I have not had a fill yet. Will get it this Friday. Still I only eat 3 meals a day. I usually do not eat more than a cup a meal. I have noticed that I am slowing down with losing. I will start some real exercising this week.:huh2: Kim

    Earphone / Earbud recommendations???

    Hi Sorry I was busy!! Yes I like the way the Bose fit as well as sound. I also like the way the Sony's felt. Do some research I did not like the sound of the Ipod buds. Peace Kim:redface:

    Earphone / Earbud recommendations???

    Hi Real good ones are the Bose, they are expensive but they are worth it. I payed about $100 for them. Look on the Bose web site and investiage. These earphones come with 3 different sizes of inner ear comfort buds so they do stay in place. Also you have the technology of Bose. I also found Sony ear buds to have a great sound. Hope this was helpful Kim

    Hi all, I am 3 weeks post-op:cool2:. On mushies/soft foods; went out with a friend to a movie and dinner. I ordered stuff flounder; came with mash potatoes, mix vegs and a salad. I ate the courtans out of the salad, just lest than 1/4 of the fish and non of the mash potatoes. Took all the rest home;not the salad. My friend had soup, lemon chicken, mash potatoes, string beans and chocolate mouse cake!!! WOW!!:rose: Kim

    Exercise frequency

    Hi all, have you all thought about those of us who have not or could not excerise due to our obestiy and health issues. those of us who knees,feet and legs can't handle the excerise that most of you do. I know it will get better once the weight starts to come off; but how much and how long before you can run 10k or bike 20miles w/o incident. So what besides walking and some lite areobics do us beginners do? we too need support. Good luck to all that are doing well with their excerise program Kim
