  1. Holy Cow, Bat Man....will you come home with me! Girlfriend, you rock! THANKS!
  2. Kristi, Thank you so much for posting this. You are exactly right. I am new to band land, only 22 days old and I am becoming obsessed with the scale. NOT GOOD! If I'm not careful it dictates my mood and self esteem. I am on the Wed. weight in's and I am going to start back doing just that, only weighing in on Wednesday's. Sunday I got into a pair of jeans (without and elastic band) that has not seen the light of day in quite a while. When I got those puppies zipped it was an amazing feeling. Now that's what it's all about!! Thanks again for the kick in the pants to stop focusing on the scales. janellody, thanks for the site....I think! WoW, what a eyeopener. Now that makes more sense. You could have warned me - before I was grossed out. Baahahaaa Although, now I realize why my butt looks like it does. Baahahaha Thanks, great info.
  3. I will second that! That is a great website and I love the calculator, I think. Great info. You are a wealth of info....kind of like a lap band informational guru. (I am bowing at your knowledge) hehe!
  4. Baaaahaaaaahaaa.....or birthday cake! Repeat after me....I must be good, I must be good!

    Hugs!

  5. I'm sure after 21 days that a couple of hours are not going to hurt. We are going to a restaurant so more than likely grilled chicken and steamed veggies....biting my nails. Didn't exactly want to have my first solids with a bunch of people around but it will be nice to be able to join the party. I'll check in with you tom. and let you know how it went and see how it went for you.

  6. Hey lady Lou! Go to the "Members" tab at top tool bar and to the right side there's an "Advanced search or filler" tab. Click on that and at the bottom there's a location block. Type in your location and that should bring up anyone in that area. Hope this helps.

  7. Last week 248 this week 246. Solid's tomorrow, nervous!!!
  8. Are you getting nervous about eating? I will have to admit I am. We are actually having a Birthday party for my hubby tonight, so I am going to have my first meal tonight. Yikes!

  9. You will be amazed at how easy the whole trip/surgery is. Do your homework and get all your questions answered. After doing all the research and joining this forum, I had a total peace about doing the surgery and doing it in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. You will hopefully get there and your nervousness will turn into excitement! Good luck!!

  10. AWESOME, you go girl. It felt so good when I got those puppies to zip! I am at a stand still, back and forth with the same 1/2 lb. Driving me crazy! Girl, your going to pass me soon. I can't wait till we can sing...Pants on the Ground, Pants on the Ground....Baaahaaahaaa! Hugs!

  11. Baaaahaaaahaaaa! I love it! Nothing is sacred here....my find of place!
  12. Hey new guy, great job! Nice to see a couple of brave guys join the forum. Everyone here is amazing! Welcome to the funny farm!
  13. No, I'm not close. I live in Tenn. The doctor I have here in the states is going to be $500.00 for the first two fills. I can actually get to OCC for just a little more than that. The time it takes to go back and forth is not an issue and the buddy that when with me the first time is willing to go back. Sounds like another "girls weekend" out! Dr. Ortiz told me that if I come back there for my fills, I would need fewer than what they would do in the states. He said maybe 2-3 for life, it really got my attention. If that is true, it's a no brainer in my book. I just hope I was not under the influence of those wonderful drugs they gave me. I guess it would be a good idea to call and ask about that!
  14. Congrats, on setting a date! You can do this and you will be asking yourself ...why did I wait. My doctor also encouraged me to do the surgery and recommended that I go to Mexico. I was banded on Jan. 7th and I can't believe how easy the whole trip/surgery was. I also stayed at the Marriott and was very pleased. That seems to the place most people pick, so the big benefit is...your going to meet other people who are headed to OCC too. There were two other ladies who I have had the pleasure of being banded with. It was so nice to have someone else there who was going through the same thing as I was. The hardest thing about the whole thing was the month I had to wait.
  15. Thanks AngieB, I have made my decision....OCC it is. Talked to my sweet hubby so more about it and his comment was..."You always take a child back to his daddy". So, I guess that settled that. Now to figure out when.
  16. 4 miles....you go girl! Good job!

  17. Hey, friend! I found you. Welcome to the land of a bunch of nuts. Everyone here is great and your going to love it here! You can ask anything and get some great advise and encouragement.

  18. Girl, just look at you....you Hot Momma you!

  19. Calf, thanks for all the tofu tips. I am definitely going to give it a try. What kind or brand do you like? Margie, chicken meatballs sounds wonderful...my mouth is watering. I have the website's you suggested bookmarked and will check them out tom. Thank you! Angie B, I will let you know if I find the "secret drink", I will be going to Wal-Mart in the next day or two. Keep you posted! Thanks guys, I love everyone's feedback and it is much appreciated!
  20. Jill, I am counting down the days until we can CHEW! My first day of food is going to be: Scrambled eggs w/low fat cheese, a veggie burger patty for lunch and I have no clue what is for supper. I'm allergic to fish, so I'm out of luck there. Ok, so now I'm a little nervous about chicken. That was on my list until now.
  21. I like the EAS Myoplex. They come in chocolate and vanilla, both are good. Found them at Wal-mart in the pharmacy area with the diet stuff.
  22. Love your video! It's so cool to actually see you "talking"! I will definitely check these out. Thanks girly, girl!
  23. How cool is that. I wondered what the whole fluoroscope thingy was all about. I have been trying to decide if I was going back to OCC or stay in the states to do my fills. The doctor here does fluoroscope, so now I am confussed. Seems like it would be hard to mess up with this type of fill. Thanks for posting this AngieB, food for thought.
