Do you live in the Reno / Sparks area and are banded???

I would love to get together to compare notes, cup of coffee, start walking with a partner etc.

Interested?

the other thing I have noticed is that my weight loss is very dependant on my PROTIEN! If I get my shakes in and eat my Fresh energy bar every day it really helps.

For those of you that have not discovered the Fresh Energy bakery, I highly recomend there protien bars!!!! 38 grams of protien per bar!! They do have a lot of calories, but how else are you going to get that protien in.

Chris;

Are you basing what you eating on less than 1 cup?

Have I totally missed the portion sizes I should be eating?

I ate for dinner~ tell me if this is too much.

1 chicken thigh and 1/2 of a 7" zuchinni and a couple bites of bbq'd portabello mushroom, oh also some of the gren bell peppers and onions that the chicken thigh was cooked in, and 2 bites of mango salsa

what do you think?? If I should have eaten less tell me what you would have eaten by example please.

Hi Pam,

I jumped on my daughter's computer to say thank you for everything today. It was so nice meeting you. And...like I said, you are just beautiful and I'll talk to you when I get back!

Pam, your body is supposed to tell you when you areeating too much. Eat till you are full, but not stuffed. If you still are not loosing, you are going to need another fill.

This fill is not helping as much as it could, but I am feeling some restriction. I have to really concentrate on eating which is hard for me because I always seem to be in a rush.

I do find myself wanting to snack in the evenings. This is what is killing me right now. One good thing is that I am working a ton this week, so we will see if that helps.

On a lighter side, I am going to wells on the 4th and 5th of May to a friends ranch. weare going out for a Squirrel hunt and BBQ! It ought to be alot of fun. My son and rother are going out with me.

Hey miss Gail;

I felt like such and ass! But really that was the way to "REALLY" meet me; or I would have hidden from you. I really have self image issues. I figured you were taller than me. You look alot like my Mother in law; and I was one of her very best friends and she introduced me to her Son~my now DH.

So we are the same height... In that pic you sent me; it made you look much taller, I would take that pic and send it to everybody I knew.

So...... tell me did anybody notice you lost weight? Lapband a secret?

I just booked a cruise 7 day to the Riviera, Mexico during Thanksgiving. I would have never done this without lapband. <Secretly> I am soooo very excited.

Get lots of pictures in your new dress; but realize in 6-7 months you are gonna think you looked "heavy" in it.

I feel very special that you wrote to me... Thank you.

Pam,

Thank you so much for all the Bariatrix powder - you're so generous! I'm sorry I missed you when I came by today!

Hello everyone. I am from Carson City and am having my surgery on June 1st by Dr. Sasse. I am nervous but excited at the same time.

Been quite a while sinse I posted last. Just kinda been hanging right where I have been. Kinda went out partying all weekend so I gained a few back.

Not nearmy as much restriction as I need yet. My next fill is the 25th of may so hopefully that one will be the charm. We will see!!

Does anyone else notice this forum is pretty buggy?? I just hit edit, and got a billion sad faces in my text:) wierd

Hey Chris, I am back from Texas. I didn't gain any but I didn't lose any either. I am scheduled for a fill on the 29th.

Gail

Del Rio, Laughlin AFB to witness my son receiving his "Silver Wings." It was a very exciting day(s) for our family.
