so yeah there are the calories to consider but like you said it's very rarely that you are doing this BUT here is my thing!! after 9 lemon drops one night I found myself SICK BEYOND belief! and I began puking violently! sorry groose- and puking with the band SUCKS!! it really hurts! so just dont drink to the point of puking- oh and another time I didn't drink quite as much but you know when you are at that place where you are like UGG if I could just puke I'd feel so much better! well I couldnt puke thanks to my band keeping everything down and I had to sweat it out literally for hours until my body worked out all the alcohol and it sucked! cheers!

hey all- haven't posted in awhile. I'm now almost 20weeks along and baby is doing good Me on the other hand not so much! I've gained about 16lbs and I cained a few in the months leading up to getting pregnant so I'm up a total of 25lbs and I'm bummed about this. ive seriously been eating everything in site my band doesn't seem to stop me! it may slow me down once n awhile but ugg!! the thought of having to battle to get this weight off again is so frusterating. I know it's all for a wonderful cause but I'm just bummed right now....

I'm feeling terrible- not throwing up but just feel like I've been hit by a mac truck! The fatigue is so bad I fall asleep at my desk at work! and I'm SO CRANKY! I have my first OB today-although I work with her so we have already been talking the whole time. Anyhow I'm so proud of you that are still loosing! ugg I stopped loosing a few months back before even getting pregnant, I really stopped using my band as a tool- sucks! In fat I was 218 last January and the lowest I got was about 203 in June- Summmer was evil, vacations, BBQ's so forth and over the corse of the past 4months I gianed about 5lbs I was dancing between 208-210 monst of sept then I found out I was preggo- now I'm about 212 and I can't stop eating! If I don't eat like every 40 min I feel so sick! oh well I'm not going to feak about it I have to get through this the best I can, with not packing on 60 lbs but feeling good as well! and well right now there isn't much I can do to feel well so if I need an extra snack here and there so be it! :cursing:

1weeks old- how fun! so how much did you gain when preggo? I can't see your siggy on the reply page but I started out pre-band at about 290 and got down to 204 over the past few months a few lbs krept back on and I was 209 when I found out I was preggers. I'm now about 211 at 7weeks but I think it's all boob! lol:ohmy:

awe thanks so much for the word of encourgment! I just hit up the office halloween candy bowl! lol :thumbup: I was alseep at my desk! fatigue is terrible these days so the chocolate reallyperked me up! I really do need to be smarter with my food choices, as of late I've been giving in to a lot of carb cravings! I just went to the store and got some plain almonds to keep at my desk- I feel like I have to constantly have something in my tummy or I feel sick! what other kinds of foods worked for you- 33lbs is great! I hope I can keep it to about that! I gained about 45 with myfirst baby..

hey guys, I recognize a few faces! I'm back! After having a miscarriage last January we are pregnant again. We actually are not telling many people until we make it safely through the first trimester, but I need to tell somebody! we are almost 7weeks. We have already had a US and saw our 'DOT' and it has a heart beat so far so good. I've been doing terrible with my band for months now- Got down to 203 and then over the past few months the scale crawled to 209 then I got preggo and I'm 212. I was 218 the last time I got preggo so I guess I'm starting a few lbs lighter? anyhow the obvious idea is to not gain a ton but I'm off to get a big ol plate of fettuccini right now! it's a ravenous kind of day- seriously eating is the only thing that keeps me from feeling sick right now? weird.

SO call me CRAZY but I've decided to go one more day of liquids!:tongue_smilie: Day one sucked but day two went a lot better so I figured heck the worst of it is over, I can do one more day. Besides my hubby had jaw reconstruction surgery a few weeks ago and is wired shut for 6weeks and on all liquids. Dont' really have anyone to cook for so might as well join him on the liquids! He is also happy to have a partner in his misery, so last night we bleneded up some soup and enjoyed out liquid diet together! :frown: Banded 1/15/2008 start weight 280:eek: Lowest 3/2009 - 203:tt2: lbs creped back on .... 7/2009 210:eek: current 7/10/2009 208:thumbup:

yes yesterday was hard! I was starving but I embraced what I read about "drink as much as you want" lol I was drinking all day! I had slim fast shakes, muscle milk, crystal light, broth, soup, a latte and last night I was really feeling deprived so I scooped some frozen yogurt into the blender with some ensure. That's liquid right?! lol Today has been easier and I've actually toyed with the idea of doing another liquid day. I think it's really breaking my grazing habit well maybe not "breakig it" but it's making me realize how often I want to stick food in my mouth! and I'm really feeling again what hunger feels like! good luck to you!!! yes stock up and remember you can have all the liquids you want :thumbup:

day two here I come! this mornig has started out better than yesterday- I didn't wake up hungry for starters! :thumbup: and I made the chai recipe that is on the 5day web site - it was great! and filling. Have a great day!!

hmm don't see aticker but if you figure it out tell me how! :thumbup:

pretty sure what I just ate wasn't really allowed? I put a scoop of frozen yogurt in the blender with an ensure and protien powder? what do you think? allowed?:thumbup:

mona go to Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test :thumbup:

I was hungry today as well but I also found that enev when I was just a little hungry I was more mind hungry because I was feeling deprived and wanted to snack!! I had a latte in the am, then some crystal light. late morning I had my m uscle milk and for lunch I had broth. Broth didn't hold me too long and by mid afternoon I had a slim fast. When I got home I blended up some bean soup but it really just made me hungry! now I'm sitting here thinking "ok ONE MORE DAY OF THIS!!" funny thing, my poor husband had jaw surgery and is wired shut for 6weeks, so he has been on a liquid diet for two weeks! I SERIOUSLY can't complain about two days!:smile2:

seriously lol I'm Hungry! I know it will get better as the day goes on but these first few hours have been hard! I woke up hungry this am! had my venti skinny latte, then 32oz of crystal light and then an hour later my tummy was literally growling so I had a muscle milk. Those things have a lot of fat in em!? fat scares me :biggrin: anyhow it's 10:00 am I'm hoping the afternoon will go better! I can do this!!!!

ok so Here goes day one! :biggrin: So far I've been savoring my venti sugar free hazelnut latte. I brought slim fast and muscle milk for the rest of the day..... got onthe scale this AM and I'm motivated to make this 5days work for me. I really need to get back on track and loosing again. I'm up about 5lbs :smile2:
