Had my LAP BAND done on 11-26-2007 in Buffalo, NY at Buffalo General Hospital by Dr. Aaron Hoffman. I've have had no problems what-so-ever and the support from Dr. Hoffman has been FANTASTIC. He is the BEST doctor ever! I would recommend anybody from the Buffalo, Rochester, NY area to have Dr. Hoffman perform the BAND! GREAT DOC!:eek:

Thanks Vicki..

Good Morning all

You can add what ever you like to season, I like a little kick but whatever makes you happy works. That's the nice thing.

I was born in Burbank and still have family out there, I went with dd about 8 years ago and we did disney for 2 days, by the middle of day 2 we were done, but could have done a few at SeaWorld, and I want to do 1 at Universal and do 2 beach days. Plus, I might splurge and book the Nick hotel which has a huge water park.

Went out with a retired Marne who i met at my last job last night, he is so sweet, actually asked if we could start dating. Had such a nice time, he is in the middle of a divorce and knows what I've been dealing with, so no secrets.

anyway, going to shower, going to a roller skating party

xoxoo

and yes, Vicki, throw that junk away! or Wait for your quiet time this week, nice and quiet and good time to focus

I thought I felt eyes lurking around me when I post...lol... well, go figure, I was in onederland this morn by a hair and i do mean a split end...199.9, but still had a 1 in front of it.. afraid to sneeze, it might jump back up. so now what, do I give up the cookies, cake and icecream..Edies no sugar 1/2 fat of course..or do I make my cabbage soup. hmmmmm...maybe i shouldnt push my luck...

Hey Jenn, you go girl, a marine, i hear excitment in your typing....lol

Vicki..Congrats for making it into Onderland! You have to be careful with the low-fat and fat-free ice-creams cause they'll make you think you can eat more of it and before you know it, you'll be eating the whole thing! Those calories will sneak up on ya!

Try those Vootrans cookies.. those are lower in calories 90 cal each and nice size ones.

There's no way to get around litening up cake lol...the only you can do is use the weightwatchers smartones for Desserts since its portion controlled.

The pouch test is basically 2 days full liquids, 1 day soft Protein, 1 firm protein, 1 day solid protein. It does help.

Here is the link:

Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

the scale will probably jump up tomorrow, the calories probably havent caught up with me yet..I know what you mean yvette the light is not always the best choice, I even heard if you eat full fat it is more satisfying so you dont eat as much of it...

I know what you mean yvette the light is not always the best choice, I even heard if you eat full fat it is more satisfying so you dont eat as much of it...

yea thats probably true.

sounds good..i will make it this week and i love cabbage and spinach

i did the pouch test and it helped get me over a plateau

Good Morning

Hot marine had to go to Nebraska to take care of some things. What a strange weekend

Anyway, up to 183 after yesterday. I'm going to shower and do some running for my project with Patriot Hills, and hit the gym

Have a great day

Well, I sneezed and my weight went up like I said 200.4 this a.m. I know its only a half lb. but it is the difference between onederland or not...I wish I could get comfortably under 200...maybe the cabbage soup will do it. I don't think I can do the pouch test, I am too hungry all the time....

vicki

I'm afraid to get on the scale

I had a cup of soup, mostly veggies and a serving of the biggest loser meatballs for lunch, was almost like a wedding soup, then i went to the gym, did 40 mins on the arc trainer and jogged 1/4 mile and walked 3/4. I am not going to get on the scale until Friday, I know what I was yesterday and I am not going to beat myself up, an hr of cardio is nuts in my mind

Val

my detox is green veggies and i had a small head of cabbage so here is what I did

in a big pot, 2tbs olive oil, saute 1 onion and some garlic

when start to turn clear, added:

1 very small head of cabbage

2lb bag of frozen spinach

2 cans no salt added diced tomatoes

1 32oz low sodium chicken broth

seasoned with cyanne, fiesta seasoning, and added some dried minced garlic and onion.

simmered until cabbage was tender and i'm having a bowl right now. it is really good. I didn't want a ton of broth but you can add more if needed. when I warmed it up I squeezed a lemon wedge into the bowl, I love lemon on spinach.

so easy

with the detox, i get unlimited chicken and green veggies and 3 small oranges a day, so this is very satisfying and can eat as much as i want

making your detox soup Jenn, db left today, so gonna try and rid my body of all the sugar i have been consuming..how are u doing with the detox and biggest loser diet?
