Topic: RE: Does anyone have 0CCs in their Band?

I have had up to 6cc in my band, now I am empty or almost empty. I still have restriction and if I get overly stressed, a lot of restriction. Why restriction changes in some people over time is odd, but if is for me. I can eat some foods more easily like bread. But have to limit it to 1 piece, etc. It works for me. I like being looser.

I've never even heard of that diet. But here is where you can buy a book. Hopefully someone has it. Good luck, sounds delish.

Topic: RE: In case anyone thinks *I* faked MY pics . . .

From someone who has met this beautiful lady, in person, this is she, she looks wonderful, even better in person. We live many many states apart and I was lucky enough to meet her while she was visiting in my town. She has even been on TV, even more proof of she is who she professes to be!! She is also, awesome!!

Topic: RE: What are you eating today (Wednesday) or yesterday?

Yeah, that's what I thought. I told her that they do it for free and she doesn't have to take her shirt off, and I thought they would take her to the dressing room which is very close to that register. But she just had her step next to the register with other people in line and measure her, I could hear everything she said. Must have been just her.

Topic: RE: What are you eating today (Wednesday) or yesterday?

OT: Hi Jean, have a question about when JC Pennys employees do their bra sizing. My daughter had one done this past weekend and the associate did it right next to the register. Is this normal? I thought they'd take her to the dressing room or something???

Topic: RE: What are you eating today (Sunday) or yesterday?

TOTALLY OT: I don't shop in the mall often, and Penny's is only in the malls, here. Do they not have sales anymore? Now it's just "fair price"?

Topic: RE: Celebrating two anniversaries

Woo hoo, best two decisions you've probably made in life, so far?? Here to 44 more years of happy matrimony and hope that your WLS journey goes smoothly and easily from now on! I know for me every Thanksgiving since has been totally different, everyone else with a huge plate full and me looking at them like "are you crazy, how can you eat that much?" LOL

Hope you have a great Nov!!

Hi Jean
What is Cheese protein bread. I'm sure you have posted about it somewhere, already. But I don't come on here very often!
Glad you are doing well.

Topic: RE: OFF topic..back from Vacation..wow
Glad you had fun. We go to Disneyland every year, and I always say if I lived here I would be so thin. LOL. All the walking, not very hungry, having fun all day!!

Topic: RE: How often do you weigh yourself?
Once a week. And unfortunately I'm a bit of a slave to it. It can make my day, "woo hoo!" I lost such and such. Or it can make me a little down, "no loss this week! !grrr" But if I stop weighing all together, not a good sign. I don't want to know and it will creep up on me.

Hey Brock, long time no see. LOL
Congrats!!
My two oldest are 13 months apart. Boy/girl. They learned everything together, shared everything together and are very close. It wasn't too bad, just twice the fun.

Topic: RE: Its been 5 years since my surgury!!!
Congrats and good job, Do you really work out 5 times a day or is it 5 times a week? It really does make a difference, exercise! Continued good luck!

Topic: RE: lap band fill
Most include the first 3 (I think it was 3) within the surgery costs, but after that it depends. Your WLS should know, or call your insurance co. Mine covers them, I do have a $12 co-pay. Just remember you may have to go in for years. It will slow down, but things come up. But the good part is you can always adjust it. Not a one time pony. Good luck.

Topic: RE: Size of abdomen and waist
I don't think it has anything to do with being banded. Maybe genetics. But you never know, I would ask your Dr next time. Could be something else. Hope all is well and good luck!
