Re: My Lap-Band Jounrey

Don't go out and buy a new scale yet or stay off of it after surgery my wife got on it yesterday for the first time and only lost 5 lbs post op I told here I was going to put it away for 3 months :yum: she said that was ok because if I did she wouldn't feed me for 3 months:sad:, so I guess the scale is staying.

So I guess she has the rock and I had the scissors.

You go girl! Rusty could stand some of that shake diet also. Instant breakfast ain't bad if you mix it with good vanilla ice cream. I did almost 2 months that way and shrank down almost 50 pounds in 1991. The fact that they wired my jaw shut and had screwed my upper jaw back on helped a little also!:whistling:

hey Bill :slap: :whistling: :yum::yum::yum:

From my experiences in 1991 I highly recommend instant breakfast with ice cream and milk in a blender. I lived on that stuff for a couple months along with soup and a few other things. Shrunk me down to 190 lbs. from about 245. Then they unwired my jaw and I started eating and drinking again! :yum::yum::yum:
