LOL, I never thought that much about the "coconuts", I guess I can always go to be with a bra but I'd be uncomfortable with a panty girdle on holding my big muffin top in.:thumbup:

I tease and say that for me to buy a bra I would have to roll them up to put the bra on. Or when i'm bent over and look down at them I feel like someone should just come and milk me...they look like utters...got milk...lol

LOL, okay, now when I bend over I will always think of that.:closedeyes:

yesterday

coffee w/protein

B-strawberry greek yogurt, slice of wheat toast

S-fun size bag baked goldfish (50 cal)

It's okay Georgia, I'm not here to judge, just to be accountable to myself. We are in this together and we CAN and we WILL get through this journey.

Be blessed,

Congrats on the tummy tuck, tlamb.

I want one so bad ,but can't afford it. I asked the dr about lipo and he said that a TT would be better and that he would help me all he could with my insurance co.(BCBS). Is your insurance covering yours? Hope I'm not being too nosey.

Thanks! I cant wait! Unfortunately I do not have insurance anymore. BCBS covered my lapband when I had it (I was still on my parents Ins.) My tummy tuck (extended) is $9030 for EVERYTHING, and I will be paying that in cash :laugh: But I am being positive and I keep telling myself that it is all worth it..If I have to be poor as crap for the next year..well I will have a flat tummy :blushing:

Breakfast: EAS Choc Protein Shake

Lunch: String Cheese & Wheat Thins & 2 Tbl Tostitos Spinich Dip

Dinner: Chicken Breast (cooked in crock pot with Can of Diet Coke & Ketchup) & 2 Tbls Chicken Rice

Snack: Reese Buttercups:confused:, Blue Bell Krunch Ice Cream Bar, 3 Tbl Fudge Icing (BAD, BAD with sweets today)

Exercise: Treadmill 2 miles burned 220 calories

Can of diet coke and ketchup? How'd that work out?

Thanks! I cant wait! Unfortunately I do not have insurance anymore. BCBS covered my LAP-BAND® when I had it (I was still on my parents Ins.) My tummy tuck (extended) is $9030 for EVERYTHING, and I will be paying that in cash :cryin: But I am being positive and I keep telling myself that it is all worth it..If I have to be poor as crap for the next year..well I will have a flat tummy :wink2:

Yes, BCBS paid for my lapband, too. That is really cheap for a complete TT. I haven't really been pricing them, but I would love, love, and did I say love? to find a dr to do mine for that price. I wish you all the best and you won't be lacking (poor) in anything except the tummy part. LOL

I've been MIA, but I'm back... Been eating some crazy stuff (junk), don't know how I'm still managing to drop a few pounds

SO I have been eating everything in the world..

I gained 6 pds.. Got on the scale tonight and

weighed 176 :cursing::scared2::cursing:

So,,, Tomorrow Im starting back journaling on here everything I eat and making sure I dont go over 1000 cal...

I have to get into the 160's comfortably by NOV 20 (TT day)!!

Well I decided to have a late lunch so that I hopefully wouldn't need to eat until dinner, had a ham and cheese toasted sandwich, cut into quarters ate about a quarter and realised it wasn't going anywhere fast *rolls eyes* so after being stuck for about half an hour had a cup of tea and then ate some noodles for lunch about 11.15 so that's all I've had so far, as for dinner no clue yet.

today:

B: mocha latte flavored muscle milk

L: 1 cup of homemade Turkey chili w/pepper jack cheese and cream cheese

D: mocha latte flavored muscle milk

Hi everyone! Thought I'd let ya'll know that I have a leak in my band, UGH!!!. I've been thinking I had a leak for over a year now. It's a slow one, but it's getting worse. I went to get a fill yesterday and I was missing 1.5cc (in a 4 week span). This explains why I am able to eat like a cow after only a week of restriction following my fills. I go back in 2 weeks to measure again and then I'll know more.

They added 2 cc's yesterday, so I am pretty tight right now. Looks like I'll be on liquids a while.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Today

B-steak and eggs

S- beef jerkey

L- egg drop soup, a few boiled pot stickers

S- small slice pecan pie :cursing:

D- baked chicken w/ sauteed onions, veggies

Liquids-Fuze slenderize,water, coffee, milk

Thank god I have my fill Thursday, ugh!
