favorite protien drink
Ok I messed around this morning and tried to make something new. This one was SOO good, I made it for all 3 shakes! yummy... 1 scoop chocolate flavored protien 8 oz soy milk 1/4 bananna 1 tsp Peanut Butter (SMALL amount because of calories) 2-4 ice cubes depending on how you want consistency! It was very very good.

Pics from our tattoo convention!
I love Kat! I want to get one of her portraits on my back when I loose all the weight. I love her b/w stuff. I think she is one of the only people on the planet that can make those star face tattoos look beautiful! lol.. You were so lucky to meet her! My daughter's name is Faith too! (my youngest)

What will you do with your underwear??
What will you do with those old underwear? I have been contemplating this, there are so many options. I could make a tent for the homeless they are so big. BUT...this is what I have decided... I will have a cermonial bon fire and dance around in a thong. I will watch my grannie pannies burn away and say my last goodbyes with no regrets. I will make sure my neighbor is watching for all of the times she made my DH mow the lawn when it didn't need it because she prances around nearly naked in a bikinni. Just so she knows that she now has competition, and she will not be the only hot one in the neighborhood!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: What will you do?

Chriropractor still??
I am currently seeing a chriropractor for neck pain, back pain and carpal tunnel. I just don't think it will be a good idea to get adjusted after the band. Other than maybe my neck and wrist, and then it seems like a waste of money. Does anyone continue to see the chriropractor after banding?

Getting depressed
Thanks. I doubt came form all of the BAD stories. SO yes, I do want to hear some sucess stories. It is human to want more than may be given to you, and I will be the first to say I would like to loose more than 2 lbs a week. BUT after everyone helping me I KNOW now that it is better to make a change that will last forever than a quick drop that will never change me! The problem is me, not food. I want to know that someone else has felt the same way! Thank you to all of you. You actually helped me greatly! Thank you! Hugs to all.

Getting depressed
Thank you all. I appreciate the support and it makes me feel so good to know that other people have done it! When I went for Pre-op all the nurse, dietician and dr talked about where the negative things of people not loosing. That was hard to listen to! I just needed someone to tell me that they are doing it, so I can too! I hug you all and congratulate you for your achievements! I will learn to make the right choices. I have to do this! :kiss2: Thank you all!

Getting depressed
Hey guys, I need some help. I am wondering now if I am doing the right thing. Everyone keeps telling me (dr, nurse, dietician) that I will only loose 1-2 lbs a week. And then I read about people not ever loosing anything. I am doing the band because the R En Y seems too drastic for my age. BUT if I won't loose on the band what is the point. Maybe I am jsut having a bad day, maybe it is reading too much negative stuff. PLEASE PLEASE give me some sucess stories! NO MORE BAD NEWS PLEASE!!! :help: :help:

favorite protien drink
I am not a fan of the protien drinks. I personally hate them, but I would not be having surgery without them. A good one is: 1 serving protien vanilla 1 tsp frozen pinapple concentrate 1 tsp frozen orange juice concetrate 1 tsp coconut extract 4-5 ice cubes Blend it all together. Kinda like a pina colada. I can drink this one! I have been on the protien 5 days now and lost 13 lbs! SO it is worht it by far! :faint:

10 lbs gone already!
Just a few days on the 2 week pre surgery diet and I have lost 10 lbs. That rocks. I must say that is the ONLY bright spot in the diet. I hate the protien shakes. I can't stand the fruit drink. BUT the weight loss makes it all worth wild. GO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :faint:

Good luck with your banding. You may miss the weather here but trust me, lately it has been just like Texas! (I used to live in Galveston & Wichita Falls). Except we have the mugginess not the dry heat. lol... I am getting my banding at Hurley Hospital in Flint. They are still realtively new for it. ABout a year. BUT they have been doing the Rou E Y for 7 years. SO I think they know what they are doing! Just tell her you think she should check out other places.
