when my dietician showed me that cup pre-band....i was like u got to b playing with me...humans can't live on that little bit of food...now i look at that cup sometimes full of chicken or whatever else i put in there.....like r u going to b able to eat all that??????....lol

chicken fajitas...that way u can get chicken and veggies at the sametime..i cut the chicken up in small strips...i mix ground turkey (cook it with taco seasoning) and mix the turkey with some refried beans...scramble 2 eggs...spread a tablespoon of refired beans over the eggs...and then melt cheese over the top...everyonce in awhile i'll eat carne asada...read meat...if its not ground...keeps me full all day...which is a good thing for some people...but i need the calories to burn off...refried beans will get me real full too...i eat as much salsa as i want with everything...another secret to staying full b4 u hit ur sweet spot is to eat a tablespoon of pnut butter....any kind...the pnut butter sticks in the pouch...then eat ur meal and that will sit on top of the pnut butter...

all that rambling...lol...they r equal to a 1/2 cup of food in a measuring cup...way easier to explain that way ....lol

i don't know the measurements of the bowls i use...they are made by glad...u can find them in the aisle with the plastic bags...foil...there r 8 in a packagethey r the smallest bowls glad makes...

i had my surgery on october 6th 2008....i have about 8 more pounds till i'm at goal...these last 15 have been the hardest to push off...

DO THEY HAVE A TRADER JOE'S IN NEW YORK????? my dad and his whole family r from flushing...my grandmother calls it trader horns....y...i don't know....lol....u could probably get it anywhere...its just a veggie style chili with beans...try a few get the one u think taste best....wendy's chili is really good too and low in calories...u can always doctor things up with salsa too..

yes...i fill that cup up...and eat 3xs a day...with the right amount of restriction u will stay full for 4 to 5 hours....i promise...thats the beauty of the band!!!!

lol...aren't they perfect!!!!!! i keep glad and crystal light on the goes in business...lol

i know how it feels to b on both sides of the fence...i want everyone on here to feel and look hhhhoooootttttt!! in ur case hotter...u already got the hhhhooooottttt part working

my son was 10.8!!!!!!! i walked the day i got home....nothing major...just up the street and slowly...my surgeon was constantly telling me to walk...walk...walk...from the first time i met him...i took him real serious....lol...walk forest..walk forest...

i had a c-section with my son...the band was a walk in the park compared to the c-section....put it this way i was banded late monday afternoon and went back to work on thursday...i wouldnt describe it as painful...more sore then pain...on a scale from 1 to 10...i would give it a 3 1/2

the tofu along with the beans...will keep u full for hours!!!!!!!!...now the gas it will give u...is wow!!!!!!....lol...just keeping it 100 with u!!!!!!

i was banded on oct 6th 2008...i lost very quickly...at my 6th week appointment i was 37 pounds down...and it was very noticeable in my face...i didnt look so swollen anymore

u can ask me anything (about weight or the band of course...lol) and i'll give u a honest answer!!!!!!!! i don't sugar coat anything....so if u want me to b 100 with u don't get sensitive on me!!!!!! i no longer post threads or respond to threads...but i'm always here to answer ur ?'s ....support u....help u if i can...and make positive comments on how beautiful u all r...haters stay off my page please...i know u love what u see!!!! u won't admit it...its that jealousy!!!!!!! don't get it confused now!!!!!

tofu chili...sounds nasty ....taste soooooooooo good...i won't eat anything that taste bad!!!!!

i am absolutely...undoubtly...positively...definitely....100% sure...i will see you at goal in no time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right back @ ya gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank u!!!!!! thank u!!!!!!! thank u!!!!!!!!!! i know i'll be showing off ur after pics as well!!!!!!

i have a lot of excess skin on the lower part of my stomach...my plastic surgeon estimates it to b about 4 pounds...i dont take pix of that part of my stomach....lol...my arms are okay...my upper thighs r so-so...i need to go to the gym...i have some serious toning to do...all my exercise has been hard core cardio...cardio will take off inches and wait...but it won't tighten muscles like weight trainig...my face and neck went back without any excess skin at all...i was lucky...i'm happy with my back as well...the skin really bothered me at first...i lost my initial weight quick and i was very upset with what i was seeing when i looked in the mirror (the skin)...the excess skin looked like a pattern...u could c exactly where it needed to b cut off...i'm okay with it now....since then everything has gotten smaller...my favorite thing would b my waist line...i got a mean lil waist line...lol

of course u can....thank u for calling me slim and not the "s" word (skinny)....lol

with the restriction i have right now...i cant eat unlimited anything...lol...i'm not sure how many ounces the cups r...i will look when i get home and let u know...i like egg salad for breakfast...or a boiled egg and a piece of string cheese...celery and pnut butter...tuna salad...i usually mix my veggies and chicken...like with the fajitas...the veggies r mixed with chicken...last week for lunch i had chicken and brocolli mixed in pesto sauce...she is walking 6 miles a day...i do more....but i built myself up slowly

i've been working 1 on 1 with another bandster...she was stuck...and counting everything!!!!!!!! i told her to stop...we bought the lil cups i eat out of...and she ate what i ate...she has lost 18 pounds since mid may!!!!!!!!! she was sooooo focused on counting this and that...setting goals...she lost focus...i told her to relax....and push it off day by day....she is doing great!!!!!!!!

i honestly have no idea....i know in the begining i was staying between 600-800...i'm the bandster that doesn't count....lol...i eat a 1/2 cup of food 3x's a day...tuna...with real mayo...chicken...2day i brought fajitas...people get to wrapped up in counting and lose focus...i eat whatever i can fit in my lil 1/2 cup of food and a piece of fruit for dessert...no rice...bread or pasta...but i eat everything else...

uuuummmm...lady u passed me up a long time ago!!!!!!!!!!!

i wish i would've had this surgery in my 20's....do ur thing and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
