Aww that was very thoughtful of him Alana! He seems like a very thoughtful guy..... I have one of them too! Happy belated Birthday! Hope you had a great one!

It will happen I promise! How much did you drink?

That was very good information that I needed to read as I get ready for my first fill... Thanks again Michelle!

Hahaha. I use to drink that stuff all the time to try to lose some weight...... My husband would always tell me I had a problem because I was really addicted to those things... He would say I wasn't anorexic he said I was ANAL-rexic....LMAO! YES please be close to the bathroom.. I don’t see where they would hurt our band because its liquid and going straight threw our band into the big stomach...

You handled that situation like any woman with class should... Way to go Alana! Tell her to just stop HATING!

I am there withcha girl! I am in bandster hell too! I have no restriction, I can eat like I did before so therefore I had to revert back to my low carbing days... My first fill is scheduled for August 12th I sure hope I get alot of restriction from that fill... I lost 12 pounds after my surgery June 27th but now have gained back about 2 of those 12 pounds... STINKS!

Kim love the new "do"! It looks great! Where did you have it done at? Love the cut and color.. It looks great...

lol! I didnt even look to see where it was shipped from either.. I am scared to try it because after I ordered it I was reading reviews online about it and everybody was saying how the fruity ones was sooo nasty... I was disappointed at the reviews... But wanted to see if you tried yours yet to see if you like yours... I ordered the apple melon.. I may try it tomorrow for breakfast and see how it taste.. I HAVE to like it cuz I got 3 lbs of it I got to use! LOL!

Karen have you got your protein in yet? I got mine in Monday but I havent tried it yet, just wondering how you are liking yours?

Come on sister!

I havent had a fill yet but I live off of these things too, because of the hubby being gone and its just me and I dont like to waste food. So for lunch, I have one and for dinner some times I have one too... But if I eat anything else it would probably be Chicken or Fish or Turkey and some veggies..

Ute it was like I was craving Tuna... But when lunch came that day, I didnt want to eat anything... So I still have not had tuna, but I bought some of that flat out bread last night and I think I am going to make me some tuna and try it on my flat out bread and see how it is!

I know, I am like the rest of you. Some days I have it and some days I dont feel like I have anything. But I am still chew chew chewing and trying to make the right choices. I am just kinda confused at which diet I want to do. I dont know whether I want to count calories or count carbs... Its like I have counted carbs all my life that is hard to get out of that mind frame ya know what I mean.. Thats like I went grocery shopping yesterday and got aggravated in Walmart because I didnt know what diet I wanted to shop for. Does that make sense or do I sound crazy??

LMAO! Ute your smileys always crack me up!!!!! Kim that is the way to do it sister! Play their little silly games with them! LOL!

I was thinking about buying a tankini and tanning that way too. Do you think I still need to cover them with band aids too when I wear the tankini?

HAHAHA! You girls are sooo funny! Friday was my first day on solids and that morning I had 1 scrambled egg and a patty sausage. And I know you are going to get on to me but that is really all I ate that day.... Saturday though, I had a baby shower and it was a brunch, and I had the mini chicken biscuit, and a little bit of sausage casserole, and a bite of cheesecake, and something else I can’t remember. But all the food was SOOOO GOOD! And that afternoon I had a fun party at my house so I had to make finger foods for that but the only thing I ate was 2 meatballs, 2 sausage balls, (had to get my protein in first ) and then a spoon of chicken dip and a little chess square and I was stuffed! But of course I had a couple glasses of wine that night.... Sunday again I didn’t have an appetite and only ate not even half of a lean cuisine... BUT now Monday was a different story, I went on my lunch and got a baked chicken thigh (it was small) and some greens, and a little bit of red beans and rice for lunch and OMG it was great! I ate the whole chicken and most of my greens but only picked the beans out and left the rice. Last night for dinner I had 2 eggrolls and was satisfied. Then for a dessert later on I had some cottage cheese and crushed pineapples. This morning for breakfast had a frozen egg mcmuffin (like 230 calories), and for lunch today I had a South Beach meal 270 calories and 26 grams of protein.. That has been my meals soo far girls, what do you think?? Good or Bad??

Clynn this is where I read it.. http://www.lapbandforum.com/index.php?show...&hl=tanning

I have a question for you guys that get in the pool/sun. How long are you waiting until you get some sun on your scars? I know it says a year or so but I also know that not everyone follows all the rules. I went to the tanning bed a couple of weeks ago, I was probably 2 1/2 weeks post op and I bought some really good band aids and put then on my tummy over my scars and now I have 5 band aid tan lines! LOL! Just want to be able to enjoy the summer and get some sun with out stressing about my scars turning this bright red... So what do you guys do to keep that from happening?

MONA!! WOW!!! That last fill has really been treating you great then honey! I am very excited for you! Thats a great loss!

That really good info! I sooooo agree with the whole gaining weight when you get married! It happened to me!

Yay for restriction!!!

Good luck sister! I sure hope you get more then .25 cc... Fill us in when you get back!

Alana that is awesome honey! You are doing great! Love the new pic too!

WOW KIM!!!! You are looking awesome honey! I am jealous! Yeah I would trade my thighs for yours any day!

I am ordering mine so when I do get a fill and I am tight that I am still able to get my protein in..
