My daughter keeps saying how stressed I got walking down Revolution Ave. Never again is all I can say. It's sad because I would have loved to look at all the different things, but everyone keeps getting in your face, "Buy this, come in here" Way to much for me. We left The Lucerna at 4:00am this morning, to catch our flight at 7:00am and I am back at work now. Will be here for another half hour, then my daughter has her ODP soccer practice from 6-8pm tonight. Then up at 4:00 again tomorrow monring to go to the gym and on to work. I am so tired and just praying this fill works. Everyone please keep their fingers crossed for me!

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is awesome, I am so happy for you!! =D>

Well I had my fill today, want to take Dr. Soh home with me He is so cute!! Anyway, I had 1.6 cc left from my first fill, not sure where that .4 went, but I now have a total of 2.8 cc after my 2nd fill today. Which I think is pretty aggressive. I had tortilla soup without the tortilla strips today for lunch and dinner but got really full after about 1/4. So I hope this one works. He said that hopefully this will do the trick and may not have to go back, except to take him for Margaritas he said!! OK, lets talk about Revolution Ave.....................this place is not for me! Oh my god, how can you even shop when they are all in your face to buy stuff. I got really aggrivative and had to leave. I couldn't stand people sitting there shoving things in my face asking me to buy it. So that did not work for me. Oh well, goodnight, I have to be ready to go at 4:00am tomorrow morning for the van to take me to the airport, our flight is at 7:00am.

Hi everyone!! I am here at the OCC waiting on the van to pick me up for 2nd fill appointment! I am so excited. I cannot wait. I hoping for GREAT restriction to get over this bump in the road. My plane was a 1 hour late last night so didn't get here until 11:30pm. I am exhausted. I will let everyone know how it went when I get done. We are going to go shopping today at Revolution Ave.

YEAH for restriction. I am at the OCC right now waiting for the van to take me to my 2nd fill appointment. Cant wait!! I wish you nothing but great restriction for you Paula! Hopefully I will be joining you!

The Whey Liquid Bullets are the best, they have 47 grms of protein and 174 calories. They come in 4 different flavors (punch & grape I recommend) and they are easy to take just in 1 swallow.

You will be fine! The surgery is a piece of cake. I would do it over if I had to. You are up and walking around about an hour after. The gas afterward is probably the most painful part of the surgery, just remember to walk walk and walk some more!

Anyone else going to be at the OCC for a fill this Saturday?

Yes, every single day I have this problem!!

That is way cool! I am waiting for my picture also

You are so beautiful!! Oh my god, you look wonderful!! Congratulations!

Christi ~ Good job, you are doing GREAT!! Keep up the good work.

Good for you, you already know how I feel about the subject! You are doing wonderful. Just hang in there and take it day by day, that is all we can do!!

I am scheduled for my 2nd fill this Saturday 8/16/08!! Cant wait.

That is AWESOME, way to go! CONGRATULATIONS!! :lb10: :lb21: =D>

You look frickin AMAZING!! Oh my god, congratulations!! :dance3: :party2: :dance4: :good3:

Manda, I did an excel sheet just like you and this is so much easier than all the other sites. You have to put every little ingredient down on the other sites. Question does anyone know how to count calories in like a cup of mixed fruit and a bowl of salad, mixed veggies?

Yes I followed Will's advise and put the 2 down as ignored users. Thanks again everyone for the support. You guys are wonderful, I cannot express how much this means to me! :kiss2:

Here is wishing you "GOOD RESTRICTION" I go for my 2nd fill on Saturday and cannot wait!! PS ~ I love your picture of your new puppy. Her ears are so big and cute!

OH MY GOD ~ I love you guys to pieces!! This whole thing has been bothering me all weekend and cannot imagine not using this site. But the negativity that was said puts the whole forum in a "FUNK" then the responses that I got from those 2 people just amazed me and cannot believe how rude people can be. It totally amazed me! We are all humans and do make mistakes, and I was feeling like that wasn't ok to do. The support that I received to stay was amazing, and don't know what I would do without you guys!! You guys truly ROCK! Love you bunches. PS ~ the only reason I even came on today was because I asked Chad to delete my profile, and wanted to see if it was done. (in case those 2 people have a smart remark to say!)

Thank you for all your support and comments. This forum has been great, but I will no longer be using it. The negativity really kind of takes control of the whole forum. I am very surprised by it. (Cedar and Kimmy in MD) I have read a few post's in the last half hour and very shocked by some of the comments and truly believe this is not the place for them. I thought this forum was for suppport and tips to help out. We are all here because we have a food addiction and like any addiction you can't just flip a switch and turn it off. Food has always been my crutch, and if it wasn't an addiction I would not have spent $8000 on the band. So thank you again, especially MamaMichelle, Evette (who hasn't been on in a while which I have noticed), Mona, Mom12, Kim2bslim & Lisal. You guys are wonderful and such an inspiration! If anyone wants to keep in touch, please feel free to email me anytime at soccersoto@sbcglobal.net. Take care all and good luck in your journey.

Michelle this is great!! I am printing this now to bring home, and I am going to start writing my meal plans out daily. I do think this will help. This is the kind of stuff I was looking for. Thank you so much! :lb23:

Don't question it, just go with it!!

I am right along with you skubachick4!! I am totally depressed and feel like this is a $8000 diet failure, another one for the list. I am doing everything I am suppose to be, writing down what I eat, 1200 calories a day, working out 3-4 times a week, now taking protein bullets and vitamins. But I am not losing anything, pounds or inches.
