I think you will be fine getting your 2nd fill, like Kim said you can always get an unfill if you think your too tight.... Good luck honey!

Welcome back HOT MOMMA! We sure did miss you while you were gone... Need us to all come help you unpack??

Keep your head up and dont let them get to you sister! Like the others have said us women can be b*tches sometimes.. You had a bad day yesterday and had a little binge, but guess what? We all do. You know how to correct it and get back on track and that is the good thing...

Thanks everyone for giving me such great ideas! I went grocery shopping and changed things up a bit... Keep those ideas coming though, I am sure this is giving others some help too!

Ouch! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Kim I actually do have a Sam's card but I think its expired... I need to have it renewed so I can start shopping there again.. I am just scared that I will buy in bulk and it will go to waste before it gets eaten since its just me eating it ya know... Sam's has alot of good stuff too! Those shrimp sound great! You know what I loved getting from Sam's.... The battered mushrooms! OMG those things are to die for but soooo NOT good for you!

Kimmy you are my kind of girl!! I am all about some seafood! I had seafood stuffed mushrooms and boiled shrimp this past weekend... mmmm mmmm good!

WOW! I went to lunch and came back to great ideas!! Keep em coming guys!

That is funny! He thought he might grow boobs!!!! That was sweet that he was trying to take care of you though! Kudos to the hubby!

Ok I have got to go grocery shopping today after work.... I wanted to see what is on your typical grocery shopping list to give me some ideas of things that I can add to mine... Here is mine so far... Smart Ones Lean Cuisine Low sugar Oatmeal Crystal light on the go packs Case of bottle water Lettuce Fat free Pringles Lean pockets Asparagus Tilapia I want to see how you guys shop so I can get some ideas and change things up a little.. Come on lets see those shopping list!

Kim sounds like you had a great fill! Didnt you like Dr.Mando, I knew you would. He was full of information... Ellie is a sweetheart too! She kept telling me how hot I was going to be by time my hubby gets home..lol..... Glad you had a good experience...

Erin I kind of do the same thing as Linda... It’s just so much more convenient for me since it’s just me at home right now and the hubby is gone... I eat oatmeal or a protein bar for breakfast, lean cuisine, smart ones or south beach meals for lunch and dinner.. But I have a snack between lunch and dinner. I eat lunch at 11 every day and don’t get home and have dinner til about 5 so I eat a snack in between lunch and dinner and its usually a 100 calorie pack or something like that.. Hopefully I will start reaping some of the benefits from all this soon!

Hey Dianna glad your back!!! Sounds like you are doing great sister... Cant wait to see your progress pictures.... I am doing good.. I had my first fill on the 12th of this month... Got 2cc's in my 4cc band... I go back on September 23 for my second fill... Hope this one will hit the sweet spot... Havent lost anything really from this first fill, but I am using willpower as well... And I am going to start walking on my treadmill next week, NO IF, ANDS, OR, BUTS!! I HAVE TOO!

Kim dont have too many Hurricane's at Pat O's! You guys have fun and be careful!

OMG Kim you look GRRRREAT! When you are out of them 12's gone and pass them on down to me! I have some thighs that will feel them suckers out!! Good luck on your fill today and tell Dr. Mando Hi!

I got tired of the chicken and beef broth too. I bought the lipton onion soup mix and would make that and just strain the onions out of it and it was yummmy! I also like the new Capri Sun roaring waters they are really good. Powerade Zero- zero calories! Good luck on your surgery!

Congrats on your decision to get the band! You wont regret it!

Sounds like you had a wonderful experience at the OCC, sounds like you are on the road to success! Keep it up!

Good luck on your fill Kim! Hopefully you will get a really good one this time! How much does the Dr. in New Orleans charge?

Ohh believe me I will Cathy! I have a KFC right across the street from my job and I NEVER go there actually... Too much fried stuff... YUCK!

Ouch Cathy! I am sooooooo NOT looking forward to this!

V-Victory is when we are all ON THE BEACH IN BIKINI’S BABY!

R-Religiously write down what you eat and drink…

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CATHY THAT IS AWESOME!!! You should be very proud of yourself!

Hey Dianna, I am glad to hear things are going good for you! 20 lbs is great! My doctor has me wait exactly 6 weeks in between fills, but I do know that every doctor is different.. For some its 4 weeks for some its longer. Just give your doctor a call and see what his time frame is.. Good luck honey!
