You look wonderful!!

6/17/08 ~ 30 minute Step Class

You look amazing! Good job! :lb10:

I was banded on 6/7/08 and I actually gained a pound before the surgery. I got scolded at but was able to do the surgery.

I am so short, so ideally a 3/4 but I would be very happy at a 5/6. Currently at a 12/14. I don't want to weigh the ideal weight for my height, I would like to keep my assets (if you know what I mean girls) and keep a couple of curves. :girl_haha:

Oh sorry, thank you!!!

June 14th - 45 minute walk

Another bandster put me on to this site, and it's wonderful: http://www.my-calorie-counter.com I think it's very important to keep a food journal and it helps allot!!

I haven't had my first fill yet, scheduled 7/4/08, but I was totally discouraged about 2 weeks ago because I was gaining weight back. I was to the verge of giving up! I put myself on a great diet last week, drank like a fish (water of course) and weighed myself on Saturday and lost the 2 pounds that I gained back. So don't give up, it will work. I could not have done it without the people on this forum and their GREAT support!

The only other thing I needed was Children's Motrin, liquid form. I had the worst shoulder pain in the world and used my pain meds by the time I was home. Just a FYI ~

Hmmmmmmmmm, I will definately look at Walmart this weekend when I am buying my Carmen Electric DVD's that Evette turned me on to!! :girl_dance:

I know what you mean about cutting the grass..........Since my daughter didn't do it on Monday I had to come home and do it after a 12 hr work day. I hate mowing the lawn, I hate it hate it!!!! :ireful2: But it is good excercise!! Well this is the 1 and probably the last weekend where we don't travel for the next 2 months for my daughters soccer, so just clean house. Oh yeah we are going to see the Hulk tomorrow morning. :popcorm1: Sunday hopefully finish cleaning in the morning, also have a step class, then relax..................... :beach:

LOL.........Lisa you are too funny!! :girl_haha:

I think this topic needs to just be Closed and lets move on! Evette you definately cannot leave. You have helped me since day 1 and it seems everyone feels the same about you!!

Lisa if you don't mind me asking what is a good portion size of vegies and what the heck is Caribbean Recipe Beans?

Ok I just wrote these 2 tips down, this is a wonderful idea! Thanks I love it when bandsters do topics like this. Thanks again :lb23:

Pizza was the one thing that I craved through this whole experience, and I do treat myself once in a while. But will only have 1 piece, and god is it worth it. Before I could sit down and eat 3-4 pieces. As far as losing weight if you eat bread, there is allot more than to just eating bread if you gain weight. I think it is a combination of allot of things. Like how much you eat of it, ect......what else is in your diet, excercising and so on!

What is HCG shots?

But what about carb intake, fat intake, fiber intake besides the 1000-1200 calories?

You know Dr. Ortiz is a hottie Will T! LOL!

I started doing the teeth brushing right after I start feeling full, and it works great. Like this morning, I started to eat breakfast, 1 Multi grain Waffle w/SF syrup, and a Turkey sausage. Looking at my plate right now, I did eat the Turkey sausage but have half of waffle left.

I am copy and pasting this to tape on everything, just like I did with Evette's tips. You guys are wonderful! :lb23:
