Jann great idea on your first solid meal! YUMMMMMM! Sorry to hear about your yogurt experience... That for real made my stomach do flips! You poor thing!

Welcome aboard Hope! I look forward to getting to know you!

Karen, I am like you I don't want people to know either... #1 because people don't know how long I have struggled with my weight..... #2 I don't really want to hear what they have to say about it really.... My mind is made up I am doing it regardless, so really why tell people.. We don't really go around telling people we are on a diet so really why should we tell them how we are losing our weight right...

Congrats Jeremy, you made the right decision.... Welcome!

lisalisapsl, from reading on the post op paperwork that Michelle posted it looks like 3 weeks post op before you can start working out again.... For crunches and abdominal work outs its 3 months after surgery...... Hope that helped!

I think I need someone to break this down for me like I was in kindergarten...lol...... 1.) So on the post op diet paper it says I can add non-fat liquid yogurt to my diet on day 4 right? 2.) On day 6 I can add protein shakes into my diet, right? 3.) On day 7 I can add creamy soups into my diet, right? So from day 7 to day 21 its creamy soups, no mushy foods (foods blended to liquid in the blender) what so ever right? Just for some clarification can someone help me out please.

Ohhh I am sooo jealous! Have a drink for me! And take lots of pictures so we can live through you pictures...

Ok Lisal now I am jealous! I want to tan instead of cutting grass.... Wanna trade chores?

Ok guys its the weekend finally! What are your plans?? I of course have a date with my lawn again this weekend! I will be glad when hubby comes back home so he can have that chore back.. But I have got to cut it this weekend because I won’t be able to next weekend "because sister will be in TJ getting banded baby!" So its got to be done this weekend.. Saturday my niece’s have a dance recital. They are some diva's let me tell ya! I will try to post some pictures of my cute little drama queens! Sunday I am going to go to Wal-Mart and try to get last minute things for my trip and probably start packing.... Other then that, I will be chill-laxing at the house! What about you guys??

Hope you are feeling better today!

Michelle you are such a researcher! I love reading your post because they are always filled with interesting facts... Thanks Michelle!

Cathy, I have seen from this board that you are a VERY strong woman and you can and WILL make these next couple of weeks... Hang tight its almost over!

Great decision Trudy! This will probably be one of the best decisions you will make for yourself! Good luck!

Amber that is DEFINITELY something to be proud of! WTG!

Erin! Honey I am sooo glad to hear you are there and everything went fine! Get some rest so you can fill me in later

Jann that is a great NSV!!! Way to go! You are have it all under control! Together, you and the band can do this!

Awww Thanks Alana!!!! See I told you were a cutie, inside and out! , I am VERY VERY VERY excited I wish it would be here TOMORROW!

Alana I am sure that just made your day! And even better probably motivated you more huh... You know you are doing something right then sister!! Your such a cutie anyhow but I am sure those kind of compliments just make you want to keep on going!

WOW!!!! That blows my mind!

Glad to hear all went well! And WTG on your pre op loss!

Your menu is great, and you are doing really good on your diet. Just stay strong honey and keep that exercising up, you will start to lose again... I am sorry I am not much help honey, just dont lose focus!

Jacque that menu sounds good to me, does your dinners contain alot of carbs or more protein and veggies?

Sylvia WELCOME! I am actually having surgery on the 27th but will fly in on the 26th. I am also going alone because my hubby is on deployment in Japan right now... I am meeting another girl there from the forum (Mommyof2wins) we are getting banded the same day... I think you will be totally fine with going by yourself! Look forward to meeting you!

Jacque you have been working out alot more, maybe you are gaining muscle instead of fat...

Amber that is great! I bet that made you smile inside and out... I know I cant wait to see and hear my hubbys reaction when he sees me for the first time when he gets back from deployment... What a great feeling..
