losingjusme

any time. :thumbup:

ohhhhh, i LOVE wendy's chili .. i think i may have that on one of my free days... i try to stay below 20 carbs a day and a small has 23... the only place i've really looked for it is on Amazon.com. i have their "prime membership" so i get it 2 day shipped for free. it is premade.

thanks a lot !

denise, is it just your weight or weight and inches? if you havent measured lately, drop everything and do it now ... :thumbup: seriously - since august til just before my plastics i dropped maybe 10-15 pounds, but lost tons of inches...

i dont see one, i'll try to take a pic tonight ...

congrats on your band date and welcome to LBT!

really stupid question ... can i join in too? my october group isnt really active..

although i know it's impossible, that's my dream as well.

thank you - really... but i still see a fat woman in the mirror... i weigh 242 pounds ... there are LOTS of people on this board that start their WL journey where i am now ... and i've lost 160 pounds :thumbup: still have 82 more to go... that's a ton of weight... (ha - and i wanted to call goal by my birthday in June ... double HA!) i dunno if i am really the person to actually give the guidance... i just log my experiences (tell it like it is) for my journalling ... cause i cant remember shit... i guess im just SO frustrated that i still look like a tree trunk... yes, the big huge gut is gone, but im still a very large girl. it doesnt help matters that i refuse to tell my family (step mom) how much i've lost... she sent an email to another relative saying that i wont tell her but she thinks i've lost over 200 pounds .. damn. how big did she think i was??? i dont think i wanna know that answer. :thumbup:

woooo hoooo! congrats!

wooo hooo! those are 2 amazing NSVs!!

i dont see it... seriously.

hi, welcome back! :biggrin: congrats on getting a date!!

welcome to LBT. this is a relatively 'minor' surgery. normally takes about 45 mins or so. gas pains depend on the person... some people had them really bad, i didnt have any. best of luck to you and congrats on getting a surgery date!

welcome to LBT. best of luck to you!

hi Jdizzle, welcome to LBT. every doc is different. there is a FAQ located here: Lap-Band Surgery FAQs and References - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support best of luck to you

the only place i've really looked for it is on Amazon.com. i have their "prime membership" so i get it 2 day shipped for free. it is premade i throw it in the freezer for about 20-25 minutes and it tastes like a frap from starbucks ... soooooooo yummie. :biggrin::tt1::thumbup: i wouldnt heat it though, not sure how it would turn out. on the can it says to serve very cold.

wooo hooo, best of luck to you.

im staying on plan today cause it only works when i work it ... :biggrin:

hi Suzanne, it looks like its just linked... go to edit your sig, hilight all the underlined text and under the smiley to the right is a 'link' with a red x thru it. click that.

well, i found out AFTER my surgery that Dr. P is probably about 71 years old (graduated highschool in 55 i believe, was in the OR observing when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot :thumbup:)... he looks maybe early 50s. he was FABULOUS... i love the way my scar looks, i love his attitude, everything about him. he is caring and compassionate and just ... wow... i cant stop gushing over him i guess ... :biggrin:

i felt the same way - especially with Mark ... geesh, you JUST came back... :biggrin:

patient schmatient ... I AM NOT A PATIENT PERSON!!! :biggrin: :thumbup:

for me, it really wasnt that painful. the first 2-3 days were the worst and the most pain i had was about a 5 on a scale of 10 and the drugs (lorotab?? lortab??) took care of it right away. now its mostly discomfort. the incision pulls and just feels weird. it's been SO worth the pain/discomfort.

my scars are lower and more to the left.
