Just one more note....... I did eat at 9:30 this morning and.........I'm still full! WTF! That never happens to me. Here I am at 6:30 and still full. OMG I can't believe it.. Mom even gave me the High-Five. Wow. O.K. May be hungry in the morning, All my love Kelly:redface: P.S. will let you know

So anyone and everyone,,,,,,, Please back up; with scientific data about soda (aka carbonation) in the pouch. Or for me my "Chauncy" cause.....I've heard everything from sneezing to "carbonation" to asprin can ruin your pouch???????? WTF? Come on,,,, Please give me links with the right info, so I can understand this! Not trying to start WW3, but gheez, my scientific side just doesn't get it. Peace Out Kelly:rolleyes: P.S. Oh yeah, what about sneezing? Which I do daily!!!!

yes you did your homework assignment for the day! lol now just keep up the good work :thumbup:

I could go on to explain the low-carb (Atkins) methodology, but instead I'm going to recomend that you do a little research via Google. There are really several different plans that work. And in essence to boil it all down cut the crap(bad or processed carbs) bread,flour,sugar, etc. and eat protien and veggies. Pretty simple. Depending on what ever plan you choose they all have there own methods.Research, and choose wisely. I do garauntee (spelling?) You will feel better, and may even help the weight come off faster. GOOGLE IT GIRL Kelly:tongue:

wrinkles are just the lines your face gets after smiling and laughing for 30 40 years!

Well All, yesterday I kinda pigged out. I wanted to finish this imitation crab up (not really low carb) and then last night I had a chicken thigh and leg. OMG it was like heaven.......I did take little bites and chewed,chewed, chewed. I was nice and full when I finished, and oh yeah I ate the skin too! (that is a low carb thing) Anyway, I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down 3 pounds from my original up 5. Go figgur' for the life of me I don't understand..Maybe too few calories before or who knows. Just glad to see the scale move in the right direction after 14 days! Well it will be chicken again tonight yum! Tomorrow is day one of induction, because I'm using up the last of this bbq sauce that is not really carb friendly. But really for two days my carbs have been fairly low, so maybe that is the big scale secret:confused: Everyone have a great day! Kelly:redface:

Thanks for being honest, so like some of us won't have suicidal thoughts if we cheat....lol CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!!! Oh I'm looking forward to the day.

Sounds to me like your not consuming enough calories.....are you exercising ? Say,,30 min 3 times a week, min.

Hey Spoiltmom, I saw you over on another forum, and rcognized you! I said hi, but it looks like you have not been there in a while. (thinner times, or OH) I go to about three different forums or is that four? Don't know! But there is something you can learn from each one!

way to low carb it!

How much and where do you get isopure?

Actually my protien is only 3 carbs per scoop, that would be a big 10-4 for fills! Broth is low carb, egg drop soup is low carb, mushies could be egg salad or tuna salad etc.

Thanks for all your encouraging words....yeah still holding firm on that platue! I won't be able to begin induction until Wed. because that is when I go grocery shopping. I need to finish up my fat free cottage cheese, etc. I really can't afford to throw food out at this point. Lucky for me there is not that much left. I'm hoping some of you will join me on the low carb band wagon while we are ALL in this stupid phase. Seems like all of us are struggling right now from hunger or weight loss stalls. My boyfriend just laughs at me and says "poor baby"! Then says but 25 pounds is alot! I say I'm ready to throw a temper tantrum and kick my feet and hold my breath blah blah blah. In Sept. of next year there will be this huge reunion for the elementary school that I went to in the tiny town where I grew up. Anyone and everyone who attended this school will be there, and I want to look fantastic! Call me vain, I don't care. I wan't to look fit and healthy. I want to look maaavuuuulus daaahhlliinng! Anyway, I just think that the low carb way will really make the weight roll off ( just like it did before) for me. If anyone wants to join me, I think it would be a great support network, just like this forum already has been. Future Thin Person Kelly:wink:

Well I just think I'm going to low carb it! Start induction the day after tomorrow. I lost 50 pounds before very fast. Seeing that it is all about protien anyway, why not? That is the whole basis of the low carb lifestyle anyway. Seeing that we are not at our sweet spot yet, and hunger is at the forfront,,,,,,,why not be able to eat till you are full? Hell, I think I'll start right now! Peace out Kelly

Good Sunday Morning "August Rusher's" Well......I have been stuck at the same weight for 8 days now. I knew I would hit platues, but I just did not think it would be so soon. I am trying to stay positive, because I know these things happen. I am following the rules and exercising 30 minutes a day, doing the calorie counting and drinking lots of water. I know I should have measured myself so then I could count inches too. I intend to do that this week. I am trying to be patient.......oh well, somethings gotta give:biggrin:! Hope all of you are doing well. Peace out Kelly:biggrin:

You go girl! Congradulations!

beachbunny like even with my first I could still eat three eggs....I stay away, am happier with cottage cheese (fat-free) maybe some salsa in it or yogurt mixed. I realize that I won't be eating this long term because it is fairly soft, but then so are eggs.

Man o man I do know that feeling,,,wanting to eat every couple hours...now I'm every 5 hours :thumbup:

Yes, yes I shop at Smart & Final..I remember seeing them too! Thanks

Wow you look great!

cna you get torani at trader joes?

Beachbunny: I believe my band is 10 cc. The Doc put two cc's in for a total of three cc's. I just don't want this feeling to go away:wink:! At any rate, I get to go back in four weeks for another. I am really ready to hit that sweet spot:eek:....I know, I know, patience prudence..but that it the hardest part!:smile: I know everyone is different, but my appetite before "chauncy"(my band's nickname) was humongous (spelling?) and I really felt like such a looser because I had no control. At least now I feel like I have a little:biggrin:. It does seem like there might be a light at the end of the tunnel after all. Peace out Kelly:tongue:

On an up scale....My first fill was yesterday....dah dah dahn Yeah! I can now get full on one can of soup. WOW, I can't tell you how happy that makes me! It also lasts about 5 hours before I'm hungry again:thumbup:. I get another fill in four to six weeks..YESSSSS:lol:. Was up to 1200 calories, back down to 800,,,hopefully this will last a little while, oh say four weeks or so:thumbup:. All for now Kelly

Lately I have been drinking Arizona diet green tea, powerade zero, and Fuze! Gotta love the tea, I buy it in the gallon size...yum:wink:

Well Melissa, when I went and had my fill done yesterday, my Dr. said he is going to quit doing lapbands......I just thought wtf..Am I going to have to find another dr? I may just anyway as i was self pay and only get two more fills for free. He left me feeling very down. He said because too many complications with the band....I'm thinking I want a dr. that believes in the band and cares!
