Good Morning All !! Well, I weighed in this morning and stayed the same and that's o.k. My son is getting married tomorrow and every thing is so crazy around here, with all the preps, getting the family ready, and just plain nervous, when all of this is over , I am getting back on track!! The rehearsal dinner is 2night and pictures at 3:00 2morrow, then the wedding is 2morrow night at 6:00. I am so excited for him and my new DIL, she is really a sweet girl! Well, I need to get off here and get busy!

Good Morning Everyone !! Still no loss this wk. but that's o.k., I'm really fine with not losing every wk. ( but not to many wk.s lol !!!) I have been so busy this wk., my son is getting married Sat. and probably not following the plan as close as I should !! O.k, O.k I KNOW I 'm not but after this over I will get down to business, I PROMISE !!! Thanks for the shout out, Ling Ling!! It's so nice to be recognized !! Oh by the way, will someone please tell me what DH, DS, and DD means? I know it has something to do with family but not sure what the D means. Catch ya'll later !!

Good Morning, guys!! Thanks to all of you for the words of encouragement!! Some times we just need a little pick-me-up! First of all, my starting wt. was 236 and that was before surgery, so I lost most of my wt. on the pre-op diet. So now that I've had the LB, the wt. loss has slowed down to maybe 1 to 2 pds. per wk. and I'm happy with that! Apple2, thank you so much for your wise words, I will keep them in mind!! I will keep coming back here to read and post and get the encouragement that I need!!

Another good idea! I set that goal right after my banding. I had some restriction then and thought WOW, this is going to be so easy! But, now, I am no longer on my pain meds. and am thinking more realistically!! WHAT WAS I THINKING!!! That's why I choose this type of surgery, I do honestly believe that slower is better!! And your right, every time I look at my signature, I remember that I did not make that goal!! SO AWAY WITH IT!!! Thanks for bring it to my attention!!

Doodle--those veggie burgers sound delish! Could you share the recipe?? --original, not "dip" version :grouphug: lol

Sure I would love to!! I just hope you have better luck with them than I did! If they work out for you, tell me what you did to them so I can try again!

2 T. oil ( I used EVOO ) 1 chopped onion, and 1 chopped clove of garlic, cook until soft, then add 3 chopped green onion, 3/4 c chopped mushrooms, cook until mushrooms are done. 1 15oz. can pinto Beans, drained and mashed, 1 t. parsley, 1/2 t. cumin, salt and pepper. Mix all this in a bowl, form pattys and fry in a small amount of oil, 3 min. on each side. I found this by googling veggie burger on google, it looked like there was some good recipes. Let me know how they turn out!

Thanks, Indiogirl, for the advice! I guess I was feeling a little down this a.m., but what you said makes sense. I do have a great family, but they have seen me struggle for years over my weight, going up and down. And I know in the back of their minds, they're probably thinking" wonder how long this diet is going to last?" I am so thankful that I have a great support group on LBT. I am a part of the Bunny Bandsters and they are a great bunch of people! So I go there a lot to get my encouragement, and now I have you guys! Sometimes I get on here and just read, and that helps alot! Especially when I read about someone losing 125 pds. and hoping to be able to wear a size10 and getting into a size2!! That is just awesome!!! That tells me I can do the same thing!! Again Thanks for all you guys are doing!!!!!

Most of my family (other than folks) have not seen me since last summer, so they were all shocked to see me! 57 lbs is 57 lbs. I do have a bitch of a SIL who does not believe in WLS and walked to the other room as we were talking about it. She is ex army lt. colonel and is rigid in all her life. 0600 exercise 0630 shit 0635 eat.... anyway. She showed her true colors this visit, never said a word about how i looked, never asked me how the surgery went, NOTHING. ANd better yet, she is a women's health nurse practitioner!!!

Good Morning All !! Just found this thread and have been reading some of the posts, I think I'll be coming back as often as I can! Sounds like you guys are a great group of people! I copied a piece of a post and wanted to make a comment about what has been going on in my life. I had my LB surgery 04/06/09 and I chose not to tell my co-workers, b/c of the neg. comments and that I just did not want to deal with the constant stares, comments, and I know what they say about other people that have had the w/l surgery. I did tell my family and my church family found out by accident, I go to a small church. O.k., this is what I have been noticing, I am getting NO support from my family and NO support from my church family!! But, I'm getting all kinds of compliments from my co-workers!! Now I'm not the type of person that "needs" constant recognition, if fact I get a little uncomfortable when people say something about my w/l !! But it would be nice for my family to say something nice to me about how much weight I've lost ! I've tried to tell them that even though I've got the band, it is still up to me to lose the weight !! The band is nothing like the gastric, we do have to WORK at losing the weight!! I just feel like they think I've taken the easy way out! Well, thanks for letting me get that off my chest!! Take care and talk to ya later!!

Hey, you guys!! I have to tell you what I done tonight! I have been wanting to try out new recipes and I found one for veggie burgers. It called for mashed Beans, chopped mushrooms, onions, garlic and cumin, salt and pepper. Well I didn't have any beans but I did have fat-free re fried beans so I used them. You were supposed to be able to form a patty and cook them 3 min. each side but ,I guess because I used re fried beans instead of mashed beans, it was to thin, so I thought that my veggie burgers would just have to be a dip! So I had some FF flour tortillas, I cut them up in quarters, sprinkled lime juice on them, just a little bit of salt, put them in the oven,at 350* for maybe 15 min. and wala, FF chips!!! They were so good and crispy!! I have been missing crunchy chips and I think I've found what I've been looking for!! So now I'm thinking, what if I could take some different kinds of marinades, spray them on the FF tortillas and have different flavors!! Try them and let me know what you guys think!
