congrats on being banded! hope you are doing well now!

CONGRATS!!!

are you ok to eat puddings? jello makes some great SF/FF pudding. the dulce de leche (sp?) is WONDERFUL and only 60 cals.

that's awesome! keep us posted.

i am actually very surprised your surgeon prescribed pills. i got liquid for both nausea and pain. now when i have to have pills, i ask for a caplet. they dissolve a lot quicker.

congrats on being banded.

i love the South Beach wraps. there are 2 of them and about 240ish calories and lots of protein. i like the Ceasar and southwestern. i do not like them straight out of the fridge though. i usually take them out about 20 - 30 minutes and let them 'warm up' a bit. i think you can also nuke them.

good luck w/ your banding

Congratulations!!! that is amazing!!!

hi, happy new year!

dont worry about it. my pre-op diet was a disaster (many 'last suppers') and i did fine.

pick yourself back up and start fresh today. you can do this!

Sunshine,

Happy new year!!!

i too am a slave to the scale and it does tend to dictate my moods ... (just ask my DH)

that is so awesome about you being in the teens..

please keep us posted!

hmmm ... not sure what exactly is up with the journals, but that's ok ... hopefully this will save. yup, i am down 61 1/2 pounds. of course that is going to go up i think because i ate MUCHO sweets tonight - like about 1000+ cals worth of them ... i know i shouldnt have but i did and i know i will pay for it tomorrow when i weigh in.

i have started a kick boxing class - oh dear lord it is kicking my ass so hard. my sides hurt so much but it was FUN! add the fact that i burn over 1300 calories in about 57 minutes ... SOLD!!!

i really am tired and need to go to bed. happy new year everyone and i truly hope I see less of you guys and gals **grin**

sounds like you are preparing well. it's good to have the needed info "just in case" ...

i hope you dont need any of it and it is a smooth and seamless transaction.

best of luck to you in 07!

pre band you are doing awesome!!

just think how much easier it is going to be post op now that you've started making changes ...

i was a diet (cherry) coke-aholic pre-band ... my surgeon did say i could TRY it a few weeks out ... i tried it and it didnt even taste the same so i havent tried it again ... ehhh... i'll stick w/ my crystal light.

GREAT!! welcome to bandland!!!

SIX miles? that is amazing! i dont think i could do anywhere near that.

great job!!!!

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

yay ... my old friend Mr. Restriction is back

today was DH's b-day and we went out to dinner. i ate probably 1/4 - 1/3 of the salmon... it was SOOO good and i hated sending a huge portion of it back, but it had to be done!

i am just over 4 pounds from my first 'mini goal' but today's weight loss brings me to 25% of my excess ... GONE!!! yay.

i love restriction!

happy holidays to everyone!

thanks guys!!!

you truly are blessed Teresita.

merry Christmas if i dont chat w/ you later

sunshine,

sounds like you are making VERY great pre-bandster decisions!! **clap**

sorry to hear about your g'ma - mine just passed away in August - she had Alzheimer's and colon cancer - was not a pretty sight at the end...

4 weeks til you are banded - that is wonderful!!!

20 minutes on the elliptical!!???!!! that is awesome!!

my weight is just not changing, up 1 down 2 up 2 down 1 ... fuck fuck fuck.

i need a fill, of course i cancelled my fill that was scheduled for this week. i need to see if they can slip me in cause i need it bad.

fuck fuck fuck fuck

fuckity fuck

fuckity fuck

great news!!!

Lipo 6, is that a drink or is it a pill? i am currently taking Apex Fat Burn1 and it is a HUGE pill. i'm looking for something a tad smaller but it has to work. i havent been consistent enough with the FB1 to notice anything. i am petrified that it is going to get stuck.

thanks!

hi, day 7-8 is when my appetite started coming back. just remember to have your protein first then veggies, etc..

you will do great!

you can have a margarita still ... you will feel VERY good after the first few sips. just remember they are empty calories .. blah blah blah

good luck on your banding and keep us posted.

it is Syd's 3rd b-day Monday and grandparents came into town and we ate out and since i do not have (much) restriction, i really ate. i know i didnt eat as much as i would have, but i did have birthday cake ... i had some this afternoon as well, i want some now in fact. i just want to get this damn cake out of the house!!

i am starting my routine again tomorrow. exercising in the morning, eating balanced meals. i cannot let the old me win this battle.
