BBK - i know ... same with BMX biking ... i mean yeah, but OLYMPICS???

and one time at band camp...

i really think that everyone should just stop trying to guide the OP and being sooo mean. mekadiq - dont exercise... lose maybe 35-40% of your excess weight, lose most of your muscle mass and be miserable cause 'the band failed you' ...

but i want to rant about a band related topic!!!!!

actually, i now have a confession... all this chipotle talk made me WANT chipotle... so i went out and got it... of course i had them give me a scoop of pinto beans with a sprinkle of cheese on it (mushie)... topped it with a little SPICY salsa... OMG! sooooo good.

**warning more sarcasm** well, i left my mind reading abilities at home today, you said my last post... without you quoting, i took it literally. and btw - i truly am/was wondering what her 'no excuses' means to her... :tt2: and to be blunt, if you think im sarcastic/patronizing, there's a wonderful feature on LBT, it's called "ignore"... 'whatever'...

by providing a link? yeah, real judgemental there... :tt2:

ok, i'm finally starting to download some of the Apps onto my iPhone and am realizing there are TONS of free apps.... my fave at the moment is Cubes Lite... its fun, challenging (more so than Jawbreaker) and lets me pass the day away at work.. what are your faves? what are your least faves? why?

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

i used to love thier quesadillas... i used to split one with my daughter... it sounds SOOOO good, but not a day after a fill. good news, she said liquids only for last night - today is mushies (ok for the next THREE days!) oh no, what am i gunna do?????? :tt2:

i know this is probably meant to be rhetorical, but i'll answer... ummm... not only no but hell NO... i dont want to mess up my band ... not only post-op, but post-fill as well... i went for a slight fill yesterday. while in the waiting room, i met a woman who was also getting a fill. during our conversation, she mentioned how starving she was and how she couldnt wait to go to Chipotle (:tongue::drool:) for dinner with her son. i asked her what soups they have and if they were any good. "SOUP? i'm not getting any soup, i'm getting a barbacoa (sp??) burrito with extra rice." HUH???? not only are you going to jeopardize your band and eat right after a fill, but you are going to eat an enormous Chipotle burrito??? yeah, go right ahead... :tt2::cursing: i just pretended i had to go to the bathroom and walked away.

brown bear - just curious - under your avatar, you have 'no excuses'... what exactly do you mean by that?

you may want to try lapband.com, they have a doc locator.

hi, i strongly suggest you call your doctor and go over diet. if your doc says optifast for 2 weeks, that's your post op diet. every doc has their own rules, it's strongly advised to follow your doc's guidelines. best of luck to you.
