o m g :faint::faint::faint::faint: f phenominal!!!!! you are SMOKIN!!

now that didnt seem obnoxious, self-righteous NOR condescending. what's going on Chickie? did one of the non-know it all's get to you ... to keep on topic... i think i f'ing broke a toe ... dmit.

I didnt realize it was THAT huge, I'll shrink when I get home. I just ate some steak. but I dont go in for my unfill til Thursday so im ok.

jm - plz take care of yourself first and formost.. we'll be here next week sweet - oh no!! hope the family is feeling better. if you can't find the podcasts, I'll see if I can email them to you. I actually think I do better with my own music. I am cleaning out my closets today. getting rid of ALL my old fat clothes (keeping 1-2 outfits for pics tho). now I CANT gain any weight back. it would bankrupt us..

im sorry, Chelle. i dont think that would be tolerated either...

im going to try week 3. DH is out of town for the next 10 days so not sure how consistent i can be with wee one...

hi guys, new week has started. super busy, will post more later. C http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/couch-5k-week-25-01-december-45834/

Hi everyone, this is our seventh week in the Couch to 5K program. This is designed to be a 9 week program, but you can repeat weeks (as I will be doing) until you are comfortable moving on. However, you are not supposed to skip weeks. It has been strongly suggested by trainers and runners alike to NOT run on consecutive days. More information can be found here: Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan Please go to the cool running site to view your week’s detail. Anyone is free to join, no matter where we are!! This is the place to check in and support with each other and see how it is going. What week are you doing? How is it going for you? Is it too difficult / too easy? Any comments?? Good luck everyone!

maybe some of the "oldies" - AHEM - should just let the inexperience bandsters choke on their piece of steak.

hi more than likely Water and food weight. unless you honestly think you ate 10500 EXTRA calories.. wait a few days, drink plenty of water and weigh again. good luck!

transformer - they will come back here and bitch that they've slipped but they will reason that it wasn't because they ate steak 4 days post op, it will somehow be the MD's fault. wasa - I completely agree. it gets so frustrating that these adults are just refusing to take care of themselves. I mean damn people, you are not going to 'starve to death' on liquids if you are doing them properly with concentrating in Protein (or even if you aren't concerned with the protein) everyone who has posted has made fabulous points, I'm just on my iPhone right now, can't sleep, and too tired to use multi quote and this keyboard.

PJ80 you may want to check out the complications page. however I really dont think many will actually come out and say "yup, I'm a dumb@$$ and ate steak on my 4th day post op, I've slipped"

OMG Tonya, i am so sorry to hear about that hellish fill! glad its better now though. C

TG - when will you have the other one in your hands?

i still dont like fish.

:faint: no flames, just astonishment. totally disagree and based on some behaviours of new bandsters, i wouldnt be surprised that down the road we will be seeing a major increase in slips and erosion.

i read a post where you are too tight - how are you today?

yeah, patient coordinators arent exactly known for thier kindness. specially if you choose someone other than their doctor.

hell yeah i would upcharge! but i agree - give her a call and tell her since you are custom making everything and you had to pick the fabric up, etc there will be an upcharge and this is how much it will be.

congrats everyone! i didnt do nearly as well as i wanted to, but you know ... i didnt go up. thats why i thought next thread, i will just update weekly. dont worry. i will update!! i've just been swamped with work and turkey day. i havent opened it cause i dont want to lose my place, but i see there are now 42 posts! looks like it is going to be a great challenge.

woo hoo Whos!! I feel ya about the stupid chocolate. sucks that it just slips right thru. same with ice cream but that makes more sense. dont stress. you are doing great! I didnt make it to the turkey trot today. kind of pissy about it, but there's nothing I can do about it now. I did get a nice lap in at my fave park (almost a mile) happy thanksgiving

I can so relate. same for me with jumping jacks. its horrible, so when I do them, I make sure I am wearing very snug shorts/pants.

oh yes, forgot about gravy. gravy is your friend for poultry!

i agree about the surgeon. not a fun option, but the best.

hi, im past the mushie stage, but was banded October last year. i went with stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberries (not the berry/jelly type) and yes, even a bite of pumpkin pie. try not to stress over food. enjoy the company! happy Thanksgiving.
