cherry, gahhhhh! the nerv of that brat! sorry you had to go thru it.

great job everyone!

hey Katie, they are on my blog (more pics there than here) or in the before/after thread. just took some Friday (and last night in a size 16/18 dress)!!!!

i suggest calling your surgeon. i was OK on the treadmill after 2 weeks and strength training after 4, but every surgeon is different.

that is wonderful. congrats!

Katie, I know how you feel. i didnt get on the scale for a few days after i hit twoterville. i was petrified to go above and refused. you are doing great!

adding ... i only lost 6 measly pounds (in 2 weeks) ... can you say "farewell to food tour 2006"?

i am staying on eating plan today, because i took the day off from the gym **gasp**

thank you so much Jacqui and Julie. i think i'll try tomorrow. took today off! (after 11 days of hard cardio and strenght training - im tired!!)

Best of luck to everyone being banded today. it truly is a life changing experience.

the only thing i count is carbs because low carbing it works very well for me. i log everything on My food Diary :: Online Calorie Counter w/ Diet Journal & Exercise Log

hi, my band is a fickle beyotch ... some days chicken is fine for me, some days i cant even handle one bite. some tips: make sure it is either VERY moist white meat or switch to dark meat. i found i can handle thighs better than breasts try a topping or gravy. if i have breasts i like a teaspoon of salsa on top. cheese works well too. good luck

normally it is a runny nose. sometimes it is 1-2 hiccups

16 pounds is wonderful! congrats and good luck on your surgery.

Chickie you look amazing. love the new "after" pic!

That is Chickie's after picture - doesnt she look fabulous!! welcome!

I agree with Tracy, read this site. there is SO much information here. welcome and congrats!

welcome Stephen.
