  1. Happy 54th Birthday rrmike!

  2. Happy 53rd Birthday rrmike!

  3. everybody seems to be doing better then ol mike here,i lost 20 lbs before my april 6 band job and have lost 20 from there,so thats 40 for the year,that makes me feel pretty happy then i read the other stories and feel like a different kind of looser,i went to get my second fill in july and the nurse dude was kind of a richard so i never went back for my 3rd fill in august ,i do have a appointment for november 1st to get my 3rd fill,i eat 1/3 of what i did in my berore band life,i feel great,but wish i could shake the next 40 ,is anybody just at 30 or 40 down like me? i do enjoy a glass of wine in the evening and i do have cream in my morning coffie ,can this be the reason?
  4. like i always said;people in glass houses with nose jobs shouldn't throw stones !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-bee-otch
  5. diet and exercise i heard the same thing they say ,I WOULD HAVE JUST, BLAH,BLAH ,BLAH, i just say to all of them ,hey go get a piece of paper and right down your better them me ,and i'll just sign it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but i'm 50 years old and for 35 of them i tried all that shit ,i'll worry about me you worry about you.!, and also i tell anybody i'm talkin' to what i did, i'm proud that i tried one more thing,and i'm thankful it was invented
  6. thank you all for throwing in, i hope the doctor will listen to what i am saying ,sometimes i have felt through this that the goal is to make you take it off fast as you can ! i'm sure that sells more tickets on the ride ! i'm good with whats now ,but dont want to be foolish
  7. i have had band for 5 weeks ,the food portions i eat are 1/3 of what i ate before the band ,with pre op diet i lost 17 lbs and have shook 10 or so more since. i always ate good foods not pizza and sweets but i ate tons.now i eat normal,feel great and every week i loose 2 or 3 lbs,i have never been stuck as they say and eat grilled asparagus and chicken breast,all the things that people say they have trouble with.and i feel restriction and full after a normal plate. the question is do you have to get a fill?if its all working why take the chance of having things get stuck? also the doctor said with the rapid weight loss i may loose my gallbladder ! i would rather go slower and keep it. hell who knows you might need it someday !are there people out in lap band world that never got a fill?
  8. i think its great to have all sides ,yes she said frustration !and she asked a question,lots of answers and thoughts came in, and its great and helpful ,then bam girlie2shooz comes in with whats real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!rip off the f-n rearview mirror and grab a gear and lets go !!good stuff,you need to think that frustration will end with results and results will come with motivation,and motivation will come from both sympathy and get you azz in gear input !!!! . if you were blessed or lucky enough to get the band your blessed and lucky !!roll on
  9. that was cool! great thoughts
  10. I think that you need to tell any of our kids like i have told mine the fast foods and processed foods have caused many problems in our culture,as i told my son who seems to have a simuilar metabolism,when i was young folks thought that processed food ,co co puffs and kraft mac and cheese was sent from heaven,fast foods were a staple kfc,mc donalds and the rest spend ka-jillions trying to help us and all are kids get hooked on the dope ! If you our over weight or thin i dont believe that health is found in those foods ,i broke away 10 years ago but never seemed to be able to shake the extra pounds,with this new chance to obtain a life i have never believed i could have .i hope if i swing into a mc donalds i get hit by lighting or something.
  11. if my family was eating mc donalds i would say they need to support more,
  12. i agree with bear that gettin' off the meds make you feel better fast!i was banded on monday 6th and quit the meds on thurs .my stomach felt better fast,i did take some liquid tylenal before bed for a few days and then junked it too
  13. yea after reading the thing you wrote about it moving around i think i;ll chill a little and stay more soups you had some good points,,i love texas man !i wish i was down there in fredricksburg right now sippin' on a lone star and hearin' some gary p,but its nice in oregon,good luck!
  14. on the 5th day i thined out some refried beans with a low soduem mexican soup broth and have been pretty creative in my meals,i hope i dont cause someone elese to make a mistake and eat to soon but i ate small amount and like you felt great,i used my habenerro hot sauce in my broth allowed soup from the third day and nothing hot or spicy has bothered me ,i;m glad you asked that question i had my band on the 6th and was worried i was overdoing it i went to work on the 3rd day also and on the on the 5th started walkin 1 mile every am not real fast but steady pace i feel great and when i do eat i feel satisfied with a very small amount of food compared to what i would eat before ,so far so good.
