Carlene....I would love the recipie for broccoli cheese soup. I was going to be sad that I could not eat broccoli again. Thanks.

Our support group has a clothing exchange twice a year. We have a bunch of tables with sizes and everyone brings in what they have and puts them on the tables.

I just found out that I cant do broccoli, even if it is cooked to mush. I was stuck bad the only 2 times I have eaten it. I guess if I really want broccoli, I will puree it and mix it into mashed potatoes.

Yaaaaaay Dak!!!!

Woo Rager....I bet you are feeling some restriction now.

My son is 10. He has known about this from the very start. I knew that this would be a challenging and emotional time for me. I told him that when someone you love is feeling weak that we need everyones strength to help them be strong. Once he realized that he was going to be a pillar for me, he told me it made him feel grown up.

Tantrums are allowed. I agree with maude...find the protein that you like and the exercises you like. Starting the habits early will make it easier when you are finally in bandland. Keep smiling, the time will pass before you know it. How about a hug.

Hey Catey...havent heard from you in a bit. I hope all is well.

Hooray for skinny Mandy!! Way to go.

I am at 3.5cc and I can feel restriction, but can still eat normally (but way less) as long as I chew really good.

:clap2: We will see you in bandland.......

Hip, hip hooray.......Keep up the good work.

I am sorry for your loss. It always makes my heart hurt when someone loses a furry family member. Hugs

Nice to hear from you Lisa. I am soooooooo glad you are doing well. Smiles.

I was wondering the same......hopefully her puter will get fixed fast. I miss her too.

Just in case there are people wondering......BJs is a Bingo Hall in Fife Washington. Everyone that plays there has to have one of their photo IDs. Smiles......

Hey loving it......I think I will pull out my BJs card too (it has been a bit since I have been to Bingo, so I forgot it is in my wallet). It has been quite a while since I got that photo taken.

I agree. That is most annoying and if she feels that she needs to compete, then that is her choice. But you are doing fantastic and you should keep that in mind. Have you tried talking to her to let her know it bothers you?

I have noticed lately that when I look in the mirror, I still see the bubba me. (We use the word bubba instead of fat in my family) I am hoping that this is just a phase and I will soon see the new and much improved me. I know I am losing cause I see it in my clothes and on the scale but the old me is how I see my reflection (most of the time). Maybe she is there and will continue to haunt me to ensure that I am successful. What do you think?

Hi KLS....I have lost 49 pounds in 4 months with my band. I wasn't comfortable with any part of my insides being cut up so the band was my obvious choice. I am 5'4" and started at 224 pounds with a BMI of 39 plus co-morbidities. Ultimately, it is your choice. And we know you will do what is best for you.

No pizza here. I can eat some of the toppings....but I just don't care for it anymore. Too greasy.

I have one on my lower back right above my rear. It is fared really well with my weight loss so far. But when I got it, I was careful to have it positioned in a place that wouldnt change too drastically with weight gain or loss.

Hip hip hooray.....!!!!!!!!! You go girl.

Hooray for PNut. You are doing awesome. Definately an inspiration to all of us.
