Tina ~ I think its better to be honest! I will accept whatever happens I am down 15 lbs since surgery so I am moving good. Sooo for dinner: 4 1/2 oz baked chicken breast, and I was STILL HUNGRY after so I had 1 oz cheddar cheese, and 1/4 toast with butter. NOW im stuffed! :thumbup:

Thanks John. This journey has been a long one and rough, but I will get to my goal sooner or later, I wont quit! I put some chicken in the over for dinner, going to have some with maybe another piece of my toast, since I have 1/3 left...LOL....we will see... Right now I am craving WATER!!! going on my 2 mile walk also, I have been walking almost EVERYDAY and I loose a lb every time! It's awesome! Writting out my food logs now because when I see baggs and Robin I don't care if I dont get a fill, it's going to be MY FAULT so I take what I get, period. It teaches me a lesson.

Lee ~ I can eat about a cup or more per meal; I am on stage 4. I need to talk to Robin or Baggs. We will see.

So back and I did Panda Express AGAIN!! I had chow mein, and Orange chicken. I called the corp. office and asked them how many oz is the smallest box I order, and they said 8oz, but it depends because yeah 8 oz of noodles can fit, but orange chicken is big so it may not be that much, but all in all I am looking at 16 oz of food in one sitting. plus my 2 fortune cookies. I am concerned about this...yeah I felt full after and still do, but how do I know my stomach isnt stretched?!

okay day one back on track: Breakfast: 2 oz turkey meat from the deli wrapped with 1 oz cheddar cheese, and 1/4 toast.

Morning all I went ahead and changed my ticker to match my scale, screw it! When I see Baggs on March 4th whatever I weigh I will adjust it, but for now, I am going with it! Back on track today, woke up with a sore throat...urgh!

oh and I kinda wanna get a weight check tomorrow but I dunno...LOL I told myself wait till my march appt. with Baggs.

Pat ~ What the heck is with the cheese?! Can't wait for you to be on the next stage, I hope you do better then me on it, I am having one hellav a time on it thats for sure. Also, I went from a 46C to a 40C! so we are in the same kinda boat! Did my 2 mile walk, then walked around Target, my shape up shoes are awesome.

Hey all Lee ~ I had a bad bad sore throat for almost the entire first week! I hated it! Just kept drinking water and tried to keep it moist. Riley ~ Congrads on your 1 year if I didn't say it this morning! Well, I don't know but my emotions since the band have been outta wack, not sure if its my body getting used to being on birth control, or what, but today I am STRESSED OUT!!! I feel like I have so much going on, I am arguing with everyone (my mom, my ex, my bf), I dont know. Which of course equaled me eating. Breakfast: Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte Lunch: 1 and a half boca burgers w. 1 oz cheese Snack: 1/2 cup or so frozen yogurt w. reeses on it Dinner: smallest order of chow mein, and smallest order of orange chicken from Panda Express was gonna walk 2 miles tonight but im just not feeling it.

Morning all! up a lb today and lord knows why! I ATE AND ATE YESTERDAY!!! I won't even post the foods...just...yeah....LOL. Spent the morning @ school getting info on the dental program, now I need to go back at 1130 and meet with the director. Friday I apply for grants. Breakfast: Grande Decaf Skinny Latte Lunch?: 1 and a half boca burgers (3 oz) with 1 oz cheese melted on top.

Lee sorry to hear your having issues, please take care :redface: Scale was 231.8 this morning twice so I'll take it! That's 15.6 lbs or so since surgery a month ago.... :redface:

Oh and scale this morning: 232.2 :thumbup:

and side note I cant wait to be cleared at 6 weeks to work out, I miss dancing with the Wiggles every morning with my daughter....:thumbup:

Morning everyone! I am documenting everything I eat, and ALWAYS measuring now. Its so easy when not working to make meals and measure, which was hard for me to do when I was. Guess thats a small perk :thumbup: Breakfast: 2 5/8th oz ground beef (LOL its all I had left, random amount) with 1 oz cheddar cheese. Walked 2 miles last night, doing it tonight also.

Glad to see everyone is up and okay!! Who do we have next up for surgery? Here are todays meals: Breakfast was 4 oz hamburger meat with 1 oz cheddar cheese, and a grande skinny latte lunch was 4 oz chicken (skin included), and 1 oz cheddar cheese Dinner was 3 oz hamburger meat, and 1 oz cheddar cheese As you can see, I am finally kicking my cheese craving LOL :sad: night

oh and might I add after that meat/cheese my tummy is tight? Am I full?!

No one told me wait a week to weigh myself, I did it every day after the surgery! Lee I cant pick a scale, I don't trust either one of them LOL!! Glad your son is coming, yay! So I am doing a food log to take with me on request by Robin...should i be honest about my coffees or casually leave them off? Breakfast: 1 grande skinny vanilla latte...I thought it was a tall but when I realized it took me almost 3 hrs to drink it was big.....3 oz lean ground beef with 1 oz cheese grated on top am I doing this stage right?

Morning Candra we posted at the same time :sad:

Morning everyone, Oh Lee I am sorry your hurting, I hope you get better soon!!! :w00t: if you need anything let me know, I would come to Oakland and help you! So side note, I posted 3 before pictures my bestfriend found of me last night. They are the summer of 2005 and I was probably 300-320 lbs. Must see's. I am babysitting her 2 month old son today for her, so I'll me in and out. Breakfast : Tall skinny latte so far only cause she brought me one :sad: Scale said 232 this morning, then my old one said 233...yes, I weighed on 2 different ones LOL.... bbl

Well acording to my scale I am down 14 lbs since surgery so we will see....

WELCOME HOME JOHN AND LEE!!! WHOOOO HOOO YOUR SLEEVED!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, day one on stage 4 was not good. I am not gonna post what I ate but put it this way, it was a lot to get full.

LOL that's funny! Sooo yeah go figure today was a slipping day. Oh well. Breakfast: 3 oz burgers, and 1 oz cheese Lunch: 2 bites of Brianna's hot dog, and a grande iced skinny vanilla latte Dinner: ???????

Morning everyone! Scale said 233.6 this morning, if thats accurate I am STOKED!! I got a new scale, so who knows. I think my 2 mile walks are helping! First day on stage 4, and man I sat here like a lost puppy. Breakfast: 3 oz's of mini burgers with 1 oz of cheese. Lunch / Dinner is clueless at this point.

I had to loose 35 lbs before being banded (our surgeons pick different amounts) and I did it in 5 months and got banded. If you really want this, u can do it
