That is so weird!! I was supposed to start the day of surgery and didn't, so could I miss again?? I feel tired, hungry and emotional like I usually do... Man, I hope it doesn't screw up my weigh in tomorrow!! Did you notice that it messed with your weigh ins?

That is crazy!!! My husband's doctor made really sure. They cut the tubes, cauterized (burned) the ends and tied them!!!

You know what's weird? I have had no restriction and today when I ate my lunch, I felt like I could feel the meat passing through kinda painfully. I have no fill, but have heard that you can get tight during premenstrual time.

I was also shocked to hear about Anna Nicole's death. I used to watch her show and I used to feel so bad for her. It seemed like she was always disoriented on screen, but when they talked to her off screen, she seemed normal and sad. She did love her son I remember and it seemed like she tried to be the best mom she could. I also remember seeing a documentary on her when she went to visit the small town she was from. She was so nice and down to earth to people that remembered her. We all have an addiction of some sort. I know mine was food for so many years. Hers was drugs and alcohol, probably to kill the pain she felt. It probably got so much worse when her son died and mixed emotions that is coincided with the birth of her baby girl. Someone else was saying maybe she had postpardom depression? I also hope to that her father loves her and gives her a stable life, with unconditional love and free of any abuse.

Breakfast: 3 egg omlette, with crab and cheese. 3 turkey bacon (about 500 calories) Lunch: carnitas with melted cheese and salsa Liquids: 32 ounces of crystal light Supplements: 1 tbsp. liquid Vitamin, 1 QuickSlim30 How I feel: I think I am premenstrual because when I ate lunch, I kinda felt like I could feel it passing through painfully.

I think I will still weigh in but if I don't like it, I will take it as an unofficial weight!! Then I guess I will weigh in a few days later. I have been really easier irritated. I hate being like that, because I am really easy going.

I am doing good! This is what I ate today: Breakfast: 3 egg omlette with crab and cheese and 3 slices of turkey bacon (about 400 calories) Lunch: carnitas with melted cheese Liquids: 32 ounces of waered down crystal light Supplements: 1 tsbp. Glacial Milk, 1 QuickSlim 30 and 1 Biotin Aunto flo just doesn't want to come!!! Did anyone else skip there periods?? I am not pregnant either!!! My husband had a vasectomy 3 years ago.

Congrats!!! 25 pounds is great!!!!:clap2:

Someone told me that once one person notices, a lot of people start to notice. My daughters teacher noticed yesterday and I was so happy. She said the baggy clothes I had been wearing hid the fact I was losing.

That is awesome!!!! Don't forget to keep a pair! I kept a pair of my parachute underwear from when I was 240+ and pull them out once in a while. I don't have any jeans to wear now and don't want to wear the big ones that don't fit anymore. They actually make me look heavy. Your body will catch up with the inches soon and you will have a big drop in weight. It has happened to me before!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I had to get rid of my regular workout pants and wear the smaller pants I haven't been able to wear for a while. My daughters teacher was looking at me and saying "hey, are you losing weight?" She said that I had been wearing my jacket or jacket tied around the waist so it was hard to tell, but my clothes today were more form fitting. I don't feel ready, or skinny enough yet to take pics. But I think I will take a mid point pic and one near goal!

Hey 15 minutes still counts!!! I did a workout video for 1/2 hour and felt every minute of it. I feel like crap!!! But I usually feel like this pre aunt flo's visit.

YEAHHH!!! You are doing great!!!! Those calories are coming down!!!:clap2: I think aunt Martha is coming to visit us all at the same time. How funny! I am still waiting for her and hope she doesn't interfere with my Friday weigh in. I used to always retain crazy Water. I almost don't want to weigh in till she has arrived!

That is awesome!!!:clap2: Our minds are submitting to the power of the band!!!

I had creamy Andersons Split pea soup and my all time favorite was Hormel chili beans with V8 in my food processor. I even added some nacho cheese to it!! I also made tortilla soup and added cheese!! I was technically on liquids for 3 weeks, so that is why I watered it down with V8, but it tasted GOOD!!!:hungry:

MMMMMM, that taco sounds good! When I had some natural restriction, I'd get this feeling that I can only describe as getting full up to my throat. I am glad to hear you are doing so well! It took me about 2 weeks to feel back to normal, but totally, totally after adding solids at week 3. Probably because I needed the food for energy. I don't work, but my husband took a week off to take care of the kids, so I needed a week to rest and get my fluids.

I don't feel banded right now either. I am afraid to test it though and pust the limits. I went straight on South Beach from my liquids, after 3 weeks, and actually lost 3.5 pounds that week to my surprise. I don't feel deprived and loved eating my sugar free fudgesicle today!!:hungry:

It's hard to believe! I almost can't believe it! I haven't weighed what I way now since before my kids were born, where I'd try to lose weight first to get pregnant.

I know my doctor wanted me as close to my goal as possible. He wanted me to be within 20 pounds, but every doctor is different. Then I went and gained 30 pounds over the 2 years after I had my stuff done!!

That sounds like fun!!! You are going to looke hot!!!:clap2:

I felt just like that! The day came and I started my journey to being a new me! I came here daily for support and plugged in with some really good people. I still come here daily, for info, tips, support. That is the best thing to do. Read all the posts you can!!

I feel the same way!!! Kick my butt and I'll kick yours!

I threw the package away! Sorry!! They are in a little package and precooked. You may want to ask someone at Sams.

No problem in posting here! I only lost 4 pounds on my pre op. I wouldn't gain! I would also email Dr. Miranda the nutrionist and tell her what she advises and if she wants you to lose 3 more. It is best to let them know and keep them posted. Her email is drmiranda@obesitycontrolcenter.com Let me know if you have any other questions!!
