not changing my BMI..... it is now 32.8

Sorry been gone so long..... my poor, poor laptop died! Wanted to update you guys on my progress....Started out aug 12 at 305....weight today was 228,4!!! I will be updating my ticker below (all my bookmarks need to be replaced) Non scale victories.....went from a size 26 to a size 14.....can use a regular size towel now (had used a beach towel to completely wrap around me) got called skinny yesterday LOL! wearing a size large shirt.....went down a cup size on my bra (sigh, not really a victory) LOST 2lbs over THANKGSIVING!! got called statuesque...best compliment EVER!!! feeling great and working hard everyday!! Wishing you all well on your journey!

Hoping somebody answers this....got banded the 12th of august and having the same problems also my best friend got banded on the same day, she is also having issues....we are supposed to get filled on the 26th.

both 1 and 2 are really good....I love can't touch this on 1 and firework on 2 just put my deposit down on 3 today at game stop....I do think that 2 has better moves....Micheal Jackson makes you sweat too!

I am on mushies still...but I found a really easy (and easy to mush) recipie...I use 2 gerber toddler chicken sticks...(they are already really soft) mush up one hard bolied egg, 1/2 teaspoon on low fat mayo and a little relish...easy and good....my son even tried it and wanted a sandwich of it!!

Jodie 33 here 2 kids...no husband...lol banded on august 12, 2011....started at 300....my Dr has 298 (LOL) and down 29 lbs so far....getting ready to start purreed foods on friday....right now a slave to my protein shakes!! glad to know that there are so many people going through the same thing!!! LOVE YOU GUYS Oh forgot was a size 24 when I started...now 22's are starting to feel loose!!!

Goodwill and salvation army are my favs for everything....just did all my back to school shopping there, and it looks like I spent a fortune!! but I didn't!!

also boils can be caused by staph and MRSA...both infections, both can possibly be severe and both can be contagious .....you should definitely get checked out when insurance allows.

did wii fit and plus, but when I forget to come back after playing my dancing games, it yells at you!!!! LOL that and the "OH" when you weigh on the board.....LMAO!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE just dance 1 and 2 and the micheal jacskon experience.....can't wait for just dance 3....the kids and I can do it together!!

My dietitian said no to ensure because of the sugar content....i drink the muscle milk light, and carnation instant Breakfast sugar free....the vanilla ones taste goos with crystal light strawberry (think BK shakes) and crystal light orange (dreamsicle) I like them, but it is a trial and error process to find one right for you

Ok so feeling better...I DO have a funny story about my stay.....they listed me as a regular diet....the nurse said it would be easier for me to stay on my pre-op diet thta way so I could pick and choose (fruits plus veggies etc) so my lap band buddy brought up my shakes..hospital didn't have them and I ordered off the menu for example I would order a chicken broth...extra hot water...2 crystal lights.....an apple....and a skim milk....and this would do for breakfast/snack.....well the 287lb girl only ordering like this must have put up some red flags......dietary keep sending up ensure shakes to me....I would send them back...and sure enough 10 min later the girl would be knocking on my door saying "the dietitian says you have to get something in your body or you won't heal" so i would show her my shakes in the room and tried to reassure her....no luck, they kept sending them....lol when I left there was a pile by the door!!!!

thanks for your reply....they let me out today.....so here is to hoping!
