Hiya Lynn, Glad your scale finally moved! I haven't had much activity since my fill at OCC when you were there. I'm heading to Roswell, GA 6/22. I hope you continue to lose and if you do, be sure to keep us posted!!

Many eat salmon for their first meal because it's moist and tender. I had a cheese quesdilla because I love Mexican food But I only ate a kid's size and couldn't any of the rice or beans.

I was told after 6 months and in moderation.

Can't wait

If you have no luck in finding a doc in Raleigh-Durham, try one of the fillcenters. I think there's one close to you. One in Denver, NC and one in Huntersville. Both do fills with fluoro. Check out the website: www.fillcentersusa.com

Gosh I am not even blonde and it took me a while to figure out who/what TOM was P.S. I have no problems with blondes either. I want to be one cuz I hear they have more fun.

I can't wait to drink a beer with Neeters. I can't wait to get willT drunk.

I am spending every minute I can with my Father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I'm with him right now but he's sleeping. LOVE YOUR FATHERS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!!!!! TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO LOVE THEIR DADDY.

At first I didn't want to tell my coworkers but also knew that I didn't want to lie to them about the reason I was taking off work. I also knew that my eating behavioirs would change drastically and they would notice. I didn't feel it would be something that I could keep hidden for the duration of my knowing them and, therefore, I would be technically a liar!! OH NO! I did tell everyone and they are supportive except one person. She's a food pusher. She asks me to go to lunch with her every day, asks if I want some of her Oreos or some of her chocolate Otis Spunkmeyer muffin .. GRRRRRR. "Want to go to Wendy's with me?" NO! "Okay then, do you want me to bring you back a frosty?" HELLLLL NO!!! I have to sick my boss on her - and he tells her to stop. She doesn't listen very well. But, I did let them know as well as all my family and my close friends. Even the UPS and FedEx drivers know ..... so does the lady working the desk at the hotel I stayed at in Paris, TN My mom told her!!! Hahahahahha I hope to be a walking advertisement of how successful the lap band is - so better not hide it, right?

And the winner is the sexy, vivacious Princess Be Be Send me your address! Read and pass it along to someone else.

Hi, I felt safe during my two visits to Tijuana. I traveled with my husband and a group of bandsters. We didn't go out alone and usually were back at the hotel before dark. I was a little worried before I got to Tijuana, but really felt safe both times I was there. GOOD LUCK! P.S. Don't drink the water =)

I bought Dr. O's book and read it. Great read! If you are unable to get a copy (for whatever reason), whoever posts here first that they want it, I'll send my book to them. I just ask that once you read it, you share it with someone else who cannot get a copy. Easy. Respond here that you want it and then send me a private message with your mailing address.

Here is an article that might help. I had trouble posting the link. Copy this and paste in your browser. If it doesn't work, add www. before the url. Thanks! core.monash.org/assets/documents/research-papers/2005-48.pdf

Julie, the recipe is chicken tortilla soup, do a search on the forum - it's under the recipe section. My family loved it but they were able to crush up tortilla soups on top. I wasn't dammit!

Did someone order my presence :) Love ya Lisa! OK... So empty all the cans (soups and enchilada sauce) and then fill one of the cans up with milk. You might want more milk, just try it with one can of milk, and then see if you want more. It's so good!!!! And I survived my post op diet!!

Ok what exactly is POLENTA???????? I will look for it but wonder where it comes from!

Sugar Free Banana popsicles were my absolute fav! Good luck on youre preop diet dianna!

CONGRATS DITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL!!!! Can ya hear the band playing? Welcome to bandland!

I haven't had a dream about food yet but that's because my dreams are reserved for willT. However, I woke up one morning around 3:00 a.m. and thought about dipping my sugar snap peas in peanut butter!! (YUK!)

I stopped drinking soda (including my morning diet coke) while on the preop diet. I feel it was very helpful to my weight loss. Are Jenny Craig dinners good? How much are they?

I don't blame Paula Dean but my husband does I think it's because I forced him to go on the Paula Dean tour with me =)

Wanted to be one of the first to wish you a Happy Father's Day willT!!!!!

Lisa: I LOVE YOU! I WANT YOUR BODY

I'm with Pammie, I can eat anything in moderation. Bread, pasta, and rice. Although I don't eat any of those things very much.
