After of months of waiting ( my own choice ) I have an appointment at TLBC on Jan 26th. I am so excited !

I do have a question, what is a fill with Fluro ?

Yasmina :eek: :nervous

LIARS! All of you:eek: I've lied more in these past few weeks than in my entire life. Yasmina, stick with the "flu" defense and have a salad.

It's so funny to hear others are struggling with the lieing thing too,I just got home from a friends house where she had homemade spaggetti on(it smelled unbelieveable) the stove....I had to say no no I could'nt stay I left dinner in the oven and had to race home before it was overcooked.....then I had to look at vanilla optifast:faint:when I returned.

Astro, AMEN

Yasmina,

Talk to the clinic I know they have given other bandsters or pre-bandsters the option of having a high Protein diet. I hate yogurt and cottage cheese... so if I had to do it all over again I would be in big trouble. But I know several bandsters have done the pre-op on grilled chicken, plain fish that sort of thing.

Good luck

That would be soooo much better. They did say I could have a small chicken breast if I really needed. I NEED IT !!

Breana, my dog is having Pasta & meatballs for dinner ( yes I know, she is a dog ) and I have to make it for her, then go out for a walk while she eats. I am feeling testy today.

I will stick to the Flu story, but it is going to be hard.

Thanks for all the advice

oh the dog has tomato sauce all over her face AAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hi Argon,your weight loss is amazing,how often do you exercise? I'm just trying to imagine how dedicated you and the other veterns on this site are in order to get the success you are getting. I keep wondering about my own comitment level.....and how often I've give up in the past and if the band in some way gives you stronger motivation to keep with it. Regardless great job:clap2:

Thanks Astrotoes I started at the gym in mid October, and I go 3 days a week. Honestly I feel like I've just gotten really lucky with how well I've done so far. LOL I know, I know... I'm a dummy!

oh the dog has tomato sauce all over her face AAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yasmina, I think it is okay if you lick the tomato sauce off the dog's snout!!!! (hyuck hyuck!)

:laugh ........Yuck......:lick :dog: !!!!!

Are you kidding ! that dog does not share !

I survived the restaurant thing with salad, dressing on the side and grilled chicken with out the sauce. They all ate desert and drank coffee, hate then all ! lol

It gets better and worse.. worse for the next several weeks and after that you learn that prior to dessert you are honestly full... or you can share and have a bite or two if you feel the need.

Good to know you ate well and no one knows, who you don't want to know...

Well they are good friends, but I have decided to only tell my two friends that I dance with, and by manfriend, Carman. ( I hate the word boyfriend ) My one friend Donna will be traveling with me to Toronto and she and I just started going to weight watchers. I figured that organized weighs in would be better them doing it every day.

It is funny they talk about stopping eating when you are staifisted, not when you are full or stuffed. I have no Idea where that is at. I hope that the band will help with that !

Yasmina, you did good at the restaurant, bravo!!!! and you survived!!!

Yasmina, that's an nsv for sure!

Now tonight is the Italian dinner at Carmen's parents house. They eat at 6p.m. so we have a belly dance practice from 6 - 8 p.m. The house will be full so I will have to move around and try not to eat enything because you know that dam flu ! Breana , the dog will be eating with everyone at 6p.m. lol

Yasmina I love your name! It is arabic right, is that what your origin is? I named my daughter Aneesa which is arabic and I loved the meaning of the name, it means "loyal friend".
