Someone please post the pics! I cant wait to see, or email them to me...hehe! Donna ~ Ask your husband if he wants the ferrett first before I take him from Nicollie. Just don't wanna jump in front of you if you really want him :smile:

Love ya too Nicollie!! See ya next weekend FO SHO! Pat ~ I think the fruit triggered my cravings ( I havent had any since before surgery)...I am having some majorrrr muncies (4 cheese sticks, more fruit, and some of the meat you sent me home with lol)

Hi Chrissy!!! Welcome to the best support group evarrrrr!!

HOME SWEET HOME!! First I want to say Pat: YOUR HOME IS BEAUTIFUL!! Your son / husband were so friendly and welcoming, you have a great family there! Thank you SO MUCH for hosting and cooking the AMAZING FOOD!! I hope you enjoy your corn beef tonight. Heather, Chrissy, Donna & April - Wonderful to finally meet you!!!!! Nicollie your my road dog alwayssss!!! Ill text you some pics later lol.... Riley so nice seeing you again!! you looked great!!! I had such an awesome time, and made it home so fast, Petaluma isn't very far! POST PICS SOON! I can't wait to see them!!

AHH okay! Gotcha! So confusing! Pat I did not advance yet, I believe it's my next appt. in May? So here is what I am working with today: Breakfast: Grande Skinny Decaf Latte Lunch: 3 oz Meatloaf, 1/4 cup refried beans, and a lil of my home made salsa on top Dinner: Will be same as above!

Get your swim on with your sexy self hehe! :thumbup: I have a pool also (Well, in my now condo, but I still have access), we should all go swimming this summer together and have lunch here in Concord, where it reaches 100! Just a thought :frown:

OHHHH Lee thanks, I didnt realize they are a slider! sheesh! I do have measuring cups, but I have always used my scale. In the stage I am in, I look and on meals it says 3 oz meat, so I dont know cup wise what that is :frown:

Last night I did Kim Kardashian 20 min arms/abs workout. I really felt it in my shoulders and arms and realized I havent worked them in sooo longggg it effected me!

Pam I am kinda confused with the measuring and weighing. When I am eating meat I am doing 3 oz. Should 3 oz equal 1/2 cup? (I am soooo bad at math lol), or am I eating to little / to much? So I made a meatloaf (kinda). I had a pack of "Taco Bell Taco Season" in my shelfs, so I put it in 1 lb of meat, shapped in and am baking away. I am going to add some refried beans on the side....how much of that should I do, anyone know?

Pam ~ I will work on breakfast hehe :frown: Today I went and got a coffee, had too. But will be eating 3 oz hamburger meat for lunch, and same for dinner, just not sure how I am going to fancy it up! ideas?

Wow John I didn't realize you would slime/PB with the sleeve so much ;( I still havent done it, knock on wood. So here's todays meals: Breakfast: None Lunch: 3 oz corn beef Dinner: 3 oz corn beef, and a scoop of broccoli. I have no idea how to measure 2 tablespoons or what that equals in weight.

So food wise today, I didnt do all liquids, but I havent been very hungry. Breakfast: None Lunch: 3 oz corn beef I cooked this morning. Dinner: Will be 3 more oz, with maybe some asaragas

Laurel its no miracle band you dont get it and loose weight. You get it and continue to wrk your azz off. Its not easy like RNY where u loose weight regardless. I got the band went thru pain and am still struggling. It happens but it will only work WITH YOU not FOR YOU.

I heard the hair loss is thinning, but not too bad! As for Beef maybe all Dr are different. I cannot have steak for 6 months, but I can have ground beef, softer roast, etc which I have done. Good luck!!

Sure thing! I mapped it, 54 mins from Concord....

Monique I am driving, if you guys wanna roll with me your more then welcome, I have room! Let me know and I will send you guys my address here in Concord.

Sounds good Pam, I wish I was closer to Sacramento, I would check it out with you. Cant wait to see everyone Saturday! Hi Lee! Monique, Riley, and Nicollie! I see you guys logged on...LOL

Thanks everyone. I just feel like a big loser ya know?! I got the band, lost 18 lbs major kuddos from Baggs and then - screw up. I am back on track tomorrow for sure, imma go all liquid like I did after a fill. I just hope my pouch isn't stretched cause I still am not tight or getting full.....

Well here is my BAD NEWS..... I went to kaiser this afternoon for a weight check. Since my March 4th fill I have gained 8.4 lbs. I am soooo disapointed in myself, and I want to quit, but Nicollie and my bf told me I cant...lol...so here I am, only down 9-10 lbs since surgery because I cant keep my fat mouth away from food.... Updating my ticker

Pat I will be there for sure!! :cursing: Cant wait to see you! Is Riley coming? She lives close to you yes? For lunch I made Carnitas (mexican fried pork), ate 4 oz, with 1/4 cup refried beans. Made some homeade salsa for the side (Tomatos, onions, and a pepper for spice and salt, thats it)

Oh and my bf took my scale to the new house already so I cant weigh myself everyday like I was...I have no idea what I weigh, or how much I gained...LOL...its bitter sweet. I am going to try and avoid the scale until I see Dr Baggs in May....wish me luck!

18.2 Lee thats AWESOME!! you have passed me, and I am 2 months out :scared2: That is so cool, will you be coming Sat for the walk? I have been up since 6, babysitting my friends 2 month old. Breakfast: 1 grande skinny latte (at 6 am) but got hungry so some bacon, and a cheese stick Happy St Patty day! this is the first time EVER I can think of NOT having a CORNED BEEF!! I cant stop at 4 oz, so it's probably better I dont have it.

Okay food for today: Breakfast: 1 venti skinny decaf latte lunch: 4 oz meatballs w. 1/2 cup sauce and asparagas snack: lemon with salt (PMS thing) dinner: 3 oz chicken and a handfull of pita chips walked 1 mile.

Okay breakdown: Breakfast: 1 venti skinny decaf coffee Lunch: 4 oz turkey meatballs cooked in 1/2 cup sauce, 2 tablespoons asaragas, and some cheese lightly added on top Dinner: ??
