  1. Hey Bandiva!!! I am supposed to get my fill next week and I am hoping to get restriction but then i am scared. I have been able to eat anything I want and don't have to eat slow either. I am going to have to watch it. I weigh in on Friday. I was premenstrual last Friday so I stayed the same in weight. *I feel thinner though. So, what advice would you give to not slime? What causes it for you? Yeah, my nails are definitely a lot longer than the small ones I am used to that always break. I asked for short but I guess for them, this was. I haven't had nails for 12 years!!! I am getting better at the typing. I was getting really frustrated that I couldn't type and get my thoughts down.:faint: I normally type like 70 words a minute, so I was hating my nails getting stuck inbetween the keys and hitting all the wrong keys and add hormones to it!! I am feeling better today!!! How are you? What did you do for Valentine's Day? My hubby got me an Ipod so I am going to start my workout regime!!! I need to have music or I just can't get into it. So, now I have no excuses!!
  2. Just checking in !!! Happy Valentines Day!! I am doing good!!! My hubby bought me an Ipod. I wanted one because my favorite workout music always gets me in the mood to workout. Now, to learn how to move my music from Windows Media Player to Itunes!!! I went to Dennys for breakfast. Had 2 sausages, 2 bacon and maybe 1/2 of the scrambled eggs. Didn't eat the pancakes or hash browns. I am still not hungry and it is 3pm. How are you all doing today?? Any goals? My goal is to get my playlist on the Ipod and start working out!!!!! Anyone want to do a workout challenge??
  3. I also heard of using enzymes from a health food store to disolve the food or pineapple juice.
  4. I have ground turkey!! Can you give me the recipe!!
  5. I have been following South Beach since I was binging on sweets and carbs before banding. Doing South Beach always got me off my cravings after about 4 days. There are so many meal ideas and yummy recipes like cheese cake and I eat lots of sugar free fudgsicles.
  6. Breakfast: 2 string cheese Snack: 2 strawberries and 10 grapes ( went to a womans bible study and that was the best option) Lunch: 2 harboiled eggs, deviled egg style, Liquid: 32 ounces of watered down crystal light, sugar free jello Supplements: liquid vitamins, 1 biotin, 1 quickslim30 No exercise I feel really out of it this period I am having. I have had headaches prior to it and two days out. I feel nauseous and feel like I want to get a migranine. I am just trying to rest. I think I will skip dinner since I feel nauseous. I have been staying 100% on track with my meals, staying on the beach, so I can't wait to see what weigh in on Friday is like.
  7. I already have itunes but dont have the ipod yet. I tried to click and drag a song from windows media player and put it in the itunes library, but it didn't work. Do I need an Ipod first? Or is there a way to just transfer the songs from WMP to Itunes? I am not too computer savy so I need the Idiots version. Thanks!
  8. I am really sorry you are going through all of this. Family knows how to get under our skin more than anyone. Why is she mad at you if your dad made the decision? It will for sure motivate you to lose it to show her it was worth the investment. Is she overweight? Maybe she is a little envious. Just know it is not your problem, it is your moms problem and she needs to work it out. It's not like you stole the money, it was freely given by your dad. When you lose the weight, she will probably feel different.
  9. I had to rescheule my fill since I can't go this weekend.. I need to find someone to go with me now
  10. Thanks!!!! It really helps to know i am not doing this alone!!!! Thanks South Beachers for your support!! We will get this weight off!!!
  11. Sounds good!!Keep up the good work!!!:clap2:
  12. Welcome!!! In the beginning I had Wolfgang pucks gourmet broth, Creamy split pea Soup, drinkable yogurt, cream of chicken, carnation good start breakfast. Also Better than boullion for the first clear liquid days was good!!
  13. Glad to have you back!!! I also bought about 2 weeks worth of convenience foods for my family so i didn't have to stress about cooking.
  14. My bmi was 31. Someone also told me to freeze the carnation Breakfast for about 1 hour and it makes it like a drinkable ice cream. Congrats on the weight loss!:clap2:
  15. Welcome!!! You are doing great!!! 3 pounds a month adds up!!!:clap2:
  16. Welcome!! I was also banded by Dr. Ortiz and had a great experience. It is totally normal to feel hungry since you are not filled. We all have different experiences though.
  17. Hey Supergenius!!! I have not been counting cals or exercising due to this horrible period. I feel awful!! I feel so out of it and have had a headache. I feel tired and just not myself. I do keep a loose count of my intake.. This is what I ate today: 2 sting cheese, 2 strawberries and grapes( went to a womens bible study and that was the only healthy thing there), 2 hardboiled eggs and sugar free jello. 32 ounces of water so far. My vitamins, biotin and quickslim30. I am also having a heck of a time typing since I had acrilyc nail put on. It is hard! I am sorry to be so out of it and I can't wait to feel myself again.
  18. Just wanted to check in. I ate 2 eggs with 2 Morning Star soy sausage patties, chicken salad, almonds, and ground turkey meat today. water intake was at about 60 ounces. Only took liquid vitamins and no exercise due to feeling like crap. I'll post more tomorow!!!
  19. Hey!! I am supposed to get my first fill too. I am hoping I get some restriction back. I thought there were only two bands, 4cc and 10cc?
  20. Hey guys!! Supergenius: How did your day go? Bikergrl: Let us know what happens!! Miss Banster: I am sorry you are having trouble with your food choices. What kind of foods can you eat and not have problems with? I have a really good lapband cookbook I can look at for you. Denise: Glad to hear the fill went well. I am supposed to get mine too, but have to find someone to go with me from Rancho Cucamonga, or near it to TJ this week or next week. How many cc's did they put in? Let us know if you have restriction and what it feels like! Missy 67: Welcome to our little group!!! Keep us posted!!!
  21. I didn't feel like that right away, but I feel like that now!!!
  22. I have been doing good, staying on plan. My calories are between the 1000-1200 range. Finally got my period after skipping last month. Heavy cramps so I am not going to exercise for a few days. How is everyone doin??
  23. I am wanting to get one. I have all of my music on Windows Media Player and can't figure out how to get my music to the ITunes. Can anyone give me advice?? Thanks
  24. I am going to go make some right now!!! Thanks for the advice! My emotions are also all over the place!!! UGGG
  25. I eat the regular and another one that I can't remember the flavor,like onion or something. I am supposed to get a fill within a week or so, and I am wondering how things will be. I can eat anything right now.
