  1. Steve, Do you watch your carbs when you eat? I have been watching carbs...and protein. just wondered.
  2. YOU ARE SUCH A SWEETIE PIE. THANKS...WE MAINLY EAT FISH WHEN WE GO OUT. BUT LAST WEEK I HAD ASIAN FOOD. EITHER IT WAS THAI OR VIET NAMESE. FORGOT.. I LOVED EGGPLANT AND TOFU...
  3. Congrats on taking the first steps to losing weight. In my opinion: Full for the lapband members is when you do not feel hungry. The problem is that we as obese people thing we are hungry all the time. Whether it is the mind hunger or stomach hunger. The size of a normal stomach is very small. (not sure but I think it is the size of our fist) I am sure if I am incorrect, there will be someone correcting me.. ***thanks in advance*** I think they use the word saity but I know I am not spelling it correctly. It is like a calmness in your body. It is a word from satiate, AND THAT MEANS GLUT.OH NUTS NOW WE REALLY NEED HELP HERE.. Any how. I used to have many stomach problems and also would only feel right if my stomach hurt a bit. That is not good. YOU BET YOUR LIFE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS. i WISH YOU LOTS OF LUCK..JUST DO IT AND BE HAPPY AND PROUD OF YOURSELF. DON'T EXPECT THE BAND TO DO THOSE THINGS. AND WITH OUT A FILL YOU PROBABLY WILL NOT HAVE RESTRICTION. MY QUESTION IS: WHAT DO YOU EXPECT YOUR BAND TO DO FOR YOU??I hope that your Dr's office gave you some information to read. Also the computer is filled with some. LASTLY I RECOMMEND THAT YOU JOIN WLSFA.ORG. IT HAILS FROM CALIF WHERE YOU ARE FROM..BE STRONG. YOU ONLY HAVE 1 LIFE TO LIVE. THIS ONE.ILENE

  6. The more you move the faster the gas will come out. Do you have some gas-x? It will help. Be kind to yourself. He is a very good surgen.
  7. Take it easy today. Watch those pain pills. Dont over take them. Let us know how you are.
  8. Hey welcome. If your shoes are untied, one of the nsv will be that you are able to do it yourself. nsv means non scale victory. When I got the surgery my hubby was so supportive. He also lost 30 lbs.along with me..So will your wife...best of luck.
  9. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL GET YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT SOON. IF SOME ONE ASKS ME FOR MOTIVATION i TELL THEM TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE A PHOTO OF THEM FROM THE BACK SIDE. GUESS WHAT IT WORKS. YOU ARE RIGHT.....YOU ARE ONLY CHEATING YOURSELF...YOUR ARE WORTH MORE THAN CHEATING....BEST OF LUCK...I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. GET STRONG...FIGHT ALL THE DRAGONS AND FIND THE ANGELS.
