That is sad you do not have it. It is wonderful, and only 190 calories! Maybe it is a cold state thing. Guess if your temps don't fall below zero...

I though all McD's carried soup. They only do it here in the winter though.

San Diego Mom: Trust me I know the discomfort of needing an unfill - I'm sorry you might be experiencing this. As to whether or not you are- I don't know. Even after my unfill I still felt tight for 1.5 days (my NP said this would be normal because I would be inflamed and irritated) Talk with your dr - but what I might suggest (in my limited lap band knowledge) is to try a day or 2 of liquids (in case you're inflamed as well from the bringing back up of food) and then when you re-introduce solids - try to avoid foods that others have had problems with (even if they've been ok for you) because in my recent experience as I get tighter some of my 'ok' foods change to not ok (at least in the couple weeks immediately after a fill) - and many people have problems with ground beef (the Protein burger could be an issue) - I have known the love of In & Out. For me it's scrambled eggs (which I love and never understood when others said they couldn't eat them and I could for months - now I know)

I hope it goes better for you - Good Luck!

Luluc:

I am so jealous of your culinary background - that has always been a passion for me and you do understand about having to taste. How were the ravioli? I have so much food in the house right now - I can not in good conscience make anything else or bring anything in right now.

Yesterday:

B: malted mocha Protein Shake

and true to my concern the rest of the day I just tasted as I prepared food for the party and then just grazed through the night - never ate too much at once (thanks to the band) but I failed the band by allowing myself to eat here and there when I no longer felt full - in part I'm sure to the rather dangerous tequila punch I seemed to be enjoying frequently.

Today:

had a couple nuts around 10 and then snacked on some of the unhealthy leftovers and a couple bites chicken salad as I unpacked and cleaned up my kitchen.

Dinner: 2.5 oz deli turkey meat, 0.7 oz muenster cheese and 3 strawberries (I did refrain from eating the ones dipped in chocolate :huh2:)

kc - i wish i took it more serious. i was living w/a chef at the time and he "wanted" me to learn; i actually learned more watching him....

the ravioli came out GREAT, i made the cream sauce and added prociutto to the top and used less butter/lf ricotta....it was really decadent and i was only able to eat 3:):wink5:

San Diego mom - let us know how your feeling, hopefully if your still having problems today; you can go in for a slight unfill. i think that's the best route.

this wkend i ate too much and not the best choices. i picked/grazed/snacked & drank wine - lots.

back to being decent today...

This was a bad weekend. We took the kids to Wisconsin Dells. We had so much fun but I ate really bad. I had pizza-thin crust w/cheese 2 days in a row. I ate chips, 2 oreos. I did take apples, ham and cheese to snack on as well. I would like to think I burned off alot of calories in the wave pool and climbing all the stairs for the tube slides. Let me just say for the first time, I climbed those stairs and was not panting when I reached the top!!!

RENEE74 - CONGRATULATIONS on noticing the difference going up the stairs - I love those kind of rewards - it helps in the times when the scale doesn't seem to move very fast!

Allright I've put it off long enough - I have uploaded photos of my lap band journey for all to see.
