So I'm sure we have all misspelled things here and there and that is not a big deal. But I'm getting a little irritated trying to read through some of these posts that people can't use the correct spelling or even near proper grammar! There is spell-check on the computer for you, use it if you're that bad at it! I have stopped responding to some posts that have decent questions because I want to tell them to go back to school and get it right! I don't take people very seriously when they can't type a sentence. To clarify more not talking about using little words like lol, lmao, btw etc. I'm talking about spelling & grammatical errors. These are not some of the larger, harder to spell words such as anesthesia either, these are simple every day words! Is anyone else bothered by this?? I hope I'm not the only one! (Once again, typos are common…but a few things I've noticed on here tonight I'll list…I even used it in a small sentence! Right spelled Wright….(…eating the right way…) Right spelled Rite…(…eating the right way…) Weigh spelled Way…(… I weigh myself…) Weight spelled Wait…(…my weight this morning was…) Losing spelled Loseing…(…I've been losing lots of weight…) You're spelled Your…(…you're over thinking this…) Waste spelled Waist…(…why waste your time…) Ok I'm just going to stop there, I'm sure you get the point.

So, I know that the Teens part of this is kind of slow, but if anyone does get on here and wants someone to talk to, just hit me up. I'm 17, and was banded last August. I have been through hell and back with this thing, so I understand most problems you may be having. If you are contemplating getting the surgery, I can give you my story for that as well (trust me, there is one). My email is : andy.penguins@ymail.com Don't laugh at it please. It's from Junior High.

Finally, got official approval and the surgery has been rescheduled for Thursday, June 30th in Baltimore!! Not excited about having to drive 2-hours for the surgery, but at least its going to happen this time.

Yep liquids today, i am eating italian ices right now. I beat you I lost 12 pds in one week, (girl power) good luck tomorrow stay in touch

+1 for Land's End! I have THIS one in the DDD version and it's amazing! The straps are adjustable and you can unhook and criss-cross them in the back for extra support. You can pick which bottom works best for you. I got the longer skirt so I can pull it up to tuck in my loose muffin skin roll... I'm 5'6" and I've lost 94 lbs. Oh, note from my boyfriend "Don't forget it makes your boobs look great too!" He's right! They're a little saggy now, but this top gives them a great shape! Janiece

My mum had irregular heartbeat. Since she got banded it hasn't returned.

My favorite is this: http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Double-Chocolate/dp/B000QSNYGI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308618457&sr=8-1 Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% whey in Double Rich chocolate

I've only tried one protein powder: Syntha 6 Vanilla Ice Cream. I bought a huge jug on Amazon for $27. It lasts forever. Also a must have is a Magic Bullet. I put 1cup milk 1 cup frozen fruit and a scoop of protein powder. Put in Magic Bullet for a few seconds......delicious. After you progress in food stages, you aren't supposed to "drink" your calories, but my doctor said a protein shake like this in the morning is great. There are approximately 36 grams of protein.
