  1. Nice List. I posted mine right above yours. I have a wide range as you can see LOL I have a 15 yr old son and he listens to a lot of hip hop . So I get into some of his music ! I actually like most of it . Mindy
  2. I agree with everyone else. I do not deprive myself. in fact I eat potatoes quite a bit . I will put some bushs Chili on them to add some Protein . I just put a few Tablespoons of the chili on there, some FF Sour Cream and some FF or low fat cheese. its yummy . I normally can not get down the whole potatoes even with a small potatoes. Just watch how much of the topings you put on them . I dont belive in depriving yourself. I think that is the same thing as going on a diet and I think dieting while you have the band is point less ( why get the band? ) . I just went to a bday party last weekend and had a small piece of cake. So I saw go for it . Just do not go over board and eat 3 lol Good luck Mindy
  3. We were talking about the same thing on another forum im on . Here is my "Walking " Music other then the Couch to 5K Bon Jovi ( Slippery when Wet Album ) Krptonite 3 doors Down No one by Alicia Keys Sweet Home Alabama by BAMA Kiss Kiss by Chris Brow Lose Yourself By Eminem Low by Flo Rida ( LOVE LOVE This song ) I dont wanna be in Love By Good Charlotte Foot Loose by Kenny Loggins Rock Star By Nickel Back Im not Dead by Pink Me and my Gang by Rascal Flatts Beutiful Girls by Sean Kingston Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison I gotta a Feeling By Billy Currington Mindy
  4. Ohh no one said I LET anyone see me run LMAO If a car comes i stop running LMAO I usually run during the day when everyone is at work . My neighborhood gets very little traffic . LMAO I hope no one see's me run . I just keep thinking in my head no one can see me Mindy
  5. I do both , If i use the treadmill for now i dont use an incline. HTH Mindy
  6. I think i might go get some good shoes too. I have some asics that are good but I dont think they are good enough . Can anyone recommend some good ones ? BTW Scroll up on the first page i think the link for the pod casts are there
  7. No run yet , doing it this evening again , im feeling ok so far. So im going to try to do it outside tonight , the cool air might do me some good. Mindy
  8. My fills are free for the first yr. however I do have to pay the hospitals fee of $125 for the flouro . So the first yr my fills cost me $125 . HTH Mindy
  9. I have not tried it but i hear great things about the unjury powder . It is suppose to not have a taste to it so you can add it to just about anything . you might want to try it ? Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage Again I have not tried it , I dont tolerate the powders well because of my migraines. The only Protein type shake I can do is Bolthouse farms, But if your still on clear liquids those will be a no no for you too. Slim fasts always made me hungry . So i did Boost until i discovered Bolthouse Farms they have 20 grams of protein per bottle . They keep me full for several hours. One small bottle though is 2 servings so keep that in mind if you try them when the time comes. HTH Mindy
  10. If you like the charm bracelet idea or for anyone else. There is a store where i live but you can get them online James Avery Craftsman Jewelry - Makers of quality sterling silver, gold & gemstone jewelry. Original designs & christian jewelry. LOVE LOVE LOVE there stuff. they have LOTS LOTS LOTS OF charms , and around the $20 marks they have EXCELLENT repair policies too. But i have never had to have them repaired. Also as you loose weight they will size the bracelet for very cheap . HTH Mindy
  11. For anyone in Austin my business associate has me entered already in the Mardi Gras 5K Mardi Gras 5K Its on 2/2 so its soon but i will be happy if i can walk half and run half , let me know if anyone wants to join me in this i would LOVE to walk/run it with someone Mindy
  12. I think the next morning ask him if he had a good time , ask if he had fun with his friends . then later on tell him that you were a bit hurt that he did not seem to take your feelings into consideration and you ask if next time you do not approve of something the 2 of you can reach a compromise. Mindy
  13. I have had a period every month since surgery in July . I could not have a period before with inducing them with provera . And i only did that 3 times a yr cause my doc said I had to . LOL I get horrible migraines during my periods so i hate getting them . I wish i did not get them at all. Glad things are ok for you now. I do have very heavy periods on occasion . They do not seem to be as heavy now that they are " regular" Mindy
  14. Awesome job everyone. Ya'll keep me motivated and accountable. Im going to try going in the morning tomorrow. I felt horrible today but i didnt feel as bad in the am as i did in the pm. so im going tomorrow am Mindy
  15. I agree, I dont really want to hear about what he does or what he saw . From what i hear from hubby most of his friends wives have problems with their husbands going . They say things like "Your wife is cool i cant believe she doesnt care" I use to not really like him going to Hooters , until i went there and i was fine, the girls that work there were really respectful to the woman there. There is a new place here in town called " Twin peaks " it is a step away from a strip club. They did not like woman in there too much and it was made obvious when i was in there . I still dont mind him going in there because i know he wont do anything. Mindy Mindy
  16. Im wondering if should go ahead and do a run again today or wait until tomorrow ? I was going to do the second half today and then try a full run tomorrow ? I Feel worse today then i did yesterday . Hate cedar fever. Mindy
  17. Yeah yeah yeah , I tell mine SO WHAT LMAO Mine says I am too. But He's addicted to world of war craft that STUPID oneline game. So i tell him as soon as he gets off that damn thing i'll get off LBT ! Mindy
  18. I think this IS a trust issue you have with him in my opinion . You just said it right here " Yeah right like that's going to happen in front of his mates" you do not belive him when he says something. You may not want to see it as a trust issue but honestly I think it is. I have no problem with my husband going to strip clubs . He eats at Hooters , and a few other places like that on a regular basis with business associates, thats " what they like" . I have no problem with it . I totally trust him and i know he's coming home to me . My husband know's if he EVER Cheats on me or thinks of cheating on me or marriage is over, he would not take that chance. I think the bigger issue is that your husband is going knowing you do not like it. My husband would not go to those places if he knew I did not like it. If he knew i was just a little uncomfortable with it , he would still go , if i flat out asked him not to go he would not go . Really , if you have ever been to one of those places ( yes I have been ) you would see no harm in them . If my husband were to cheat on me I would hope it would be with someone other than a stripper LOL Mindy
  19. First Last Name Adjustable Gastric Lap Band No Blind NG Tubes No NSAIDS In that exact order line by line LOL Mindy
  20. I have never had to show the card at restaurants . I have had one issue with it and i explained it to the waitress, which can always be done outside of those at the table. Some places though have " senior" menus that have smaller portions, which kind of ticks me off, why cant they just have smaller portions for who ever wants them ? So i will ask for something off that menu . Again if you do do if you dont dont. Mindy
  21. Ok this sinus drainage is really killing me ! I made it through half of the work out tonight and i literally could not breathe anymore. Do you think it would hurt anything to do it again tomorow . to either try to get through the other half or try to do the whole thing ? I really really want to do this . Mindy
  22. The rubber type bands probably would not alert the paramedics that you have a lap band. I was a little concerend the Laurens hope bracelets would not either, they look a little like "regular" bracelets, so i asked my paramedic friend and he said " oh yeah we would notice those for sure " It does have the Red medical cross on it . So i was reassured by that . I am not 100% sure what procedures are done in the ER or what are not frankly i dont care , for me it was about piece of mind, my doc did not recommend it , I personally thought it was a good idea. I have worked in and around the medical field long enough to know its a good idea to alert people if anything out of the ordinary is going on with you. I have people tell me I should have the fact that I have migraines on my ID because im at risk for strokes because of my migraines , so if i stroke out they would possibly now what might have caused it . So im considering that too . Again all a personal choice Mindy
  23. My poor husband can hardly breathe right now . they are all over the place , espically on our job site , we are building a school in the middle of the hill country and they are tearing them down, he'll be hurting for sure tomorrow. ! Im off to the treadmill ! Mindy
  24. I dont think it really matters too much in an emergency situation other than if they X ray you its a good idea to show that you have an object in your body that SHOULD be there. Personally to me that is why i got it . More so than the NG Tube reason . You would be surprised how many people in the medical field have no idea what the lap band is or does. So having something that says you have an "Object" in your body that is suppose to be there is a good idea . It is a personal choice though , if you dont like it dont get one MIndy
  25. I just ate im waiting a bit then im going to go get on the tread mill after my meal settles in . I was going to go this morning but OMG did the Cedar kick in this morning , I think i would have drown in my sinus drainage this morning . LMAO Sorry TMI I know. But living in Austin TX that happens. SO im better this evening so im about to go . Mindy
