vicki's band

OH, that is so not right, you are a dirty dog Rain, So, what is in it for me, I will still not be in onederland!!!!!!!!!!! I think you need to wait for me to catch up to u before we start this race, not to mention you are not post menopausal!!!!:tt1: So, you think you are so funny Huh? o.k., let the race begin......:cool: to you too.

Thanx Jenn, I couldn't live without my snacks, but I was told 3 meals and 3 snacks to keep the metabolism up..How confusing this all is all doc's seem to have a different stategy.:tt1::thumbup::smile:

I think she got pi**ed off cause people didn't always agree with her opinions. I got that impression from her last posting.. I need to do something Rain I have been struggling since my last unfill, no more heartburn, but I am back up to 209.7 this a.m. :tt1: Couldn't my weight have stalled after onderland??? I hate journaling, but maybe I should start. It just seems like a big pain in the a** to me....:thumbup:

well whatever your doing it seems to be working for you...

Jenn, you are totally motivated, I don't think I could be so regimented. I was told that once you drop under 1100 cal. a day your body stops losing? I don't measure anything or weigh anything but myself, I am just aware of what I am eating but not how much. I lost 8 lbs this past 6 weeks, I just feel it is not coming off fast enough...

WOW jenn you lost 10 lbs in the last month, you've got to give me your daily menu, if I could lose 10 lbs i would be in onederland!!!!

Jenn, your not alone, you have us, I don't attend the monthly meetings (ashamed) I just know everyone from this site. I did meet linda and rain at the office once. you are just as much a part of this band family as anyone.

Hi Linda, glad to see you checking in, You are so right on, it is more of a head thing....I can eat and know i am full, and keep on eating cause it tastes good..what time were u at hoffmans, i was there at 12:30

Who said I was kidding..:wink:....lol, and what would you know your a "male" ha ha..:eek: gotcha.

I take my boobs and throw them over my shoulders so I don't trip over them.......:wink:

Males r welcome, but if ur female it would be scary lol...I also tried to update mine and couldn't.

Thanks mpador, gotta have a sense of humor...I have sleep apnea, but it was more than mild I now have mild and i quit using my machine. the doc will let u know if he wants u to have it, give Lisa a call, maybe she can give u the heads up before ur appt.....good luck...:w00t:

Nobody is worse than me, I probably weigh myself 3-4 times a day, Just in case I lost 10 lbs in the last four hours,:blushing: I crack myself up........lol:lol:

Welcome all you newbies, it seems like yesteday when I attended the seminar. Dr Hoffman is the best, you will love him. The surgery is in my oppinion the easy part, second easiest is the first year, then it becomes work. But i wouldn't change any thing, because at 1 yr and 3 months later, although I am not at my goal, I can breath and walk at the same time lol...welcome aboard!!!:thumbup:

hey rain, were r u hiding out?

not so bad, I am going to try really hard not to gain alot like i did last time. I do feel better, as far as the heart burn goes, so we'll see.

Just got back from the Hoff and sure enough, he took out .5 cc, because i have been having heart burn, he said he wanted me to heal, so now i just hope I can stay on track and get to onederland with a little less help from the band. Val, how did u make out today? I met a girl there who has 8cc's in her band, and had her surgery last june 08, and has only lost 30 lbs. her doc was Forbes, and believe it or not, she was never assigned another doc. she has been followed by the NP. She said she can eat anything she wants and as much as she wants including a whole sub, unlimited buffet on cruise ship, doughnuts and more, I coudn't believe it, I told her she should see one of the doc's, cause maybe her band slipped.

Oh, well thats not bad, when they unfilled me i gained 20 lbs...:thumbup: Melissa called Fri and wants to change my appt to 2:30, but I didn't get the message till 6:30, so I'll call her tom. don't know whats up with the change, they didn't call u did they.

val, u and i went on the same day last visit, how much have u lost since then? I think i'M too tight and iv only lost 7 lbs:cursing::thumbup::w00t:

My daughter and her family came over cause I ordered 6 yards of topsoil , duh... so they are helping us spread it around. I made potato salad, corn on the cob, and green salad, and chicken. I ate chick, green salad and 2 spoons of potato salad, everything got stuck. I don't know whats up with this band, im either too loose or to tight on any given day...

I keep bouncing between 208 & 209 :thumbup:... I just want to be one something.........:thumbup: PS. keep up the good job girls,,I am so jelous. did i spell that right?

WELCOME NESSA. GREAT TO HAVE A NEW MEMBER!!!:sad:

oops, sorry Val, my appt is at 12;50...How are u doing, are you still in onederland?:biggrin:

Oh, thanx for the tip Jenn, I've been useing heavy whipped cream...lol and dont forget the slivered almonds for protien and fiber...:biggrin:

Rain, I'm sorry about your plateau, but I am right there with you so your not alone. I'ts almost like my body doesn't want to be in onederland. It is so frustrating!!!! I have an appt with the hoff on tues. but I don't think I need a fill, I am stuck on edy's home churned sugar free ice cream, and that is all i want. it is only 90 cal. a serving and about 6 gr of carbs,, depending on what kind, I love the vanilla and mint choc chip yuuuummmmmmy.
