Good evening Violets! I had 1 small burger no bun with ranch 1/2 cup of brocoli and a bit of ragu double cheddar cheese I'm patiently waiting another half hour before I get a glass of tea

Haydee: :confused: you are so funny Laura that recipee sound really good.... WELCOME BACK little missus! I'm cooking brocoli to go with dinner ME cooking and EATING brocoli..... I am soooooooooooo anti veggie, but I'm TRYING!

holy crap... I now have pork steak stuck! went down fine last night.. WEIRD.. must walk around now before My 1:00 p.m oreintaion comes knocking at my door.............. burp..... owwwwwwwwie that hurt, but it went down. oh... and my mom is heavy and she is "watching" my progress..... I think she is feeling guilty and maybe a bit jealous of me getting the band..... She has always made little remarks about my weight..... for those on the intimacy thread... she made the remark that maybe I had gained all my weight back could be the reason........ other times when I was dating she would say things like.. (are you too fat for him?) Even when I was at my lowest wearing size 10's (stretch) she said.... "Well, your not a skinny minny but your getting there" I have no idea why she does this to me............ but I sent the email on to my sister and this is what she said ... FUNNY Mom is going through a weird stage right now. She told Kaycee one day that she WAS NOT SKINNY and she told me I had droopy boobs.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> So its not just you, it seems to be all of us. I think she is getting more and more like grandma Ruth the older she gets

EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats

OK.. so I just sent the pic last night to my familia... I wrote this: I push mowed my ENTIRE yard last night!!!!!!!!!!!!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Then I took this pic after I cooled down…<o:p></o:p> I can definitely tell my face is getting thinner…<o:p></o:p> (the thinner my face the more pointy my nose is)<o:p></o:p> <I class=inlineimg title="" alt="" border="0" embarrassed.gif? smilies images www.LapBandTalk.com http: ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:o <O:p>She immediately emailed this:</O:p> I would say you also look pooped. With out your smile you don’t look like Tracy <O:p<I Tracy. like look don’t you smile your out With pooped. also say would> Would it kill her to give me a compliment???? Geesh!</O:p </I></I>

Good Morning everyone! Thanks for all the kind comments on my pic... Terry: I got up and went to the gym this morning! Judy: Your flower beds are so pretty!!!!! I love the tree face planter very whimsical. Jennifur: congrats on the mini skirt! I really toned down my carbs and upped my water yesterday and I think I'll take the lost pounds!!!!!!!!!! I know I will be stalling before too long, so I'm enjoying the ride down while I can... at 4:20 a.m. I weighed 237.6! My next fill is in two weeks I hope he still gives me one even though I'm going to show around 15-20 lbs lost since my last one.. (I was really water bloated after my trip) Have a great day, I'll be back later to check in.

I push mowed my grass and now I'm watching Big Medicine... right before the show I snapped this.... .. I think I'll add it to my sig line up tomorrow... I'm not smiling but my face looks thinner to me..

Sorry Puddy!!!!!!! I'm in Kansas I ended up going home for lunch and cooking 3 eggs with a slice of pepperjack......... It is now time for my water.... My next mini goal is 234 and of course 229... getting ONEderland will be a BIGGEE for me

HiYa Michelle!!!!!!!!!! Drink that water!

With 2 fills and 2.75 cc's in my band I am still able to gulp Water..... I drink 1-2 30 oz glasses between breakfast and lunch and another 1 or 2 before leaving work. I constantly remind myself that I will only be washing my meal through the band if I drink with meals... I have a daily talk with myself about it because I WANT to STAY FULL!!!!!!!!! Right now my restriction has loosened so I can eat plenty, any liquid would empty my stoma... Not drinking with meals takes some getting used to but you can do it.

Terry: Yes, let us know!!!!!!!!! and BTW.. congrats on the NEWLY lost POUND!

I've been looking for this site again... THanks! They say mine is 168!

WELCOME HOME Pamela!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Denise, at least your still in the 220's!!!!! You'll be in the 210's before you know it!

GOOD MORNING Violets!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in Omaha over the weekend.......... and I am so proud of myself I held on to my senses and stayed on plan and managed to hold the 230's!!! I've had a crappy morning (backed my truck into a mailbox and broke a tailight).......... but I'm ok and the mail box is fixable. Welcome to all the new posters! Time to start on my water!

popping in to check on everyone! YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT! (I hit the 230's this morning.. Ya Me!) TGIF

I finally saw a new low this week, but I admit I've been sticking to the bandster rules very well!

I can't even do the EGG part of a mcmuffin... something about those preformed eggs get me every time! Glad your feeling better

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your journey is just beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the other side

Good luck!
