I had forgotten about that post. Wow... brings back memories. :eek:

I don't actually know. I think I want to lose another 10lbs or so, after that I don't really know what will change or how. I haven't thought much about it.

Maybe AddALL book search and price comparison might have it.

I think Ortiz' book is lame. There is NOTHING in the book that you can't find right here from the members. I swear it only took him a day to write. There was a thread earlier on this and not a single person cared for it. At least get it used and don't pay full price for it.

See my ticker?

I just got a quote today from a Phoenix guy for $10,600. Heh... I don't think so! Boobs are $4800 for lift and implants.

I love Protein drinks. I mix mine with Water, 120 calories, 23gm protein, 2gms carbs. If you add milk it causes the blood sugar spikes so if you can do it with water it's all the better. I just bought some PB2, powdered Peanut Butter and it's GREAT! It adds 27 calories and 2gms protein and 2gms carbs. Wonderful stuff. Oh, it also adds a bit of Fiber. Add a couple of rounded teaspoons of Benefiber (can't taste it, I SWEAR) and that will help keep you full longer. I use: Matrix 5.0 chocolate nectar Chocolate Nectar vanilla Whey Gourmet Choco/PB Whey Gourmet Dreamy Chocolate (haven't tried it yet) And as of today I have a gazillion samples. My last Netrition order was over $75 so they sent me a ton of samples of everything.

Sounds like you need a fill. You should have had several fills by now and you should be at restriction. Get thee to your doc.

I'm going to Dr. Bello in Mexicali (he doesn't have a website). It's going to be about $4,500. It will be less if I have the breast surgery at the same time, probably about $500 less for each surgery. It's out of Almater hospital. Hospital Almater - Cuidamos lo más importante para usted: Su salud

Mindy... LOL... GMTA!

I think this one is better and Seinfeld really copied the concept from this one, the original: The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids Favorite Meals

Very true!

The only problem I have experienced with "hot" food was that it is a lot more 'heated' coming up if you happen to PB. It's mega burning. A big ouchy.

I'll be self pay just like I was for my band.

Nope, Wasa doesn't do snow. Wasa grew up in snow... never again! Of course, it's beautiful in Phoenix. And we have good Mexican rum here. Well, I do anyway.

What in the world makes you think it is anger that causes the need to expose truth?

But they were different people with different rules at various boards and she was banned by them all. That tells me it might be more likely that Sandy brings these things on herself vs. it always being the rest of the world. You know, people REALLY don't like her. When I used to go up against her on an issue you should have seen my mailbox fill up. I was floored each and every single time. People are afraid to post on OH because of the "herd mentality" and if they disagree with the clique, they are eaten alive. That doesn't sound much like a support board to me. It's certainly not what the newbies need. Honestly, I really believe Alex and Mods have done a great job here. We can piss and rant all we want in this section. The rest of the board is supportive and what it should be. It's not just this section of the board, it's ALL of LBT. People here don't want the drama and the BS for the most part. I have never had to take an issue to R&R because I wanted to have it out with someone. I come here because it's fun, I can rant about any 'ol thing I want, there are interesting topics, etc. But the real point is that I have never HAD to come here to have an issue with someone. We don't have that mentality here. At least not that I have seen or experienced. That is the huge mega difference between OH and LBT. One is run like a pre school and the other is not. One is for people with social challenges and the other is for people that want to discuss band issues. One cannot agree to disagree the other can. Honestly, I just can't think of anything nice to say about OH except that they have a nice section where you can start the research process on various docs.

I was so impressed with my doc, the hospital, the medical care, the works that I can't imagine going anywhere else for my..... TUMMY TUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA ME! Sorry, had to get that out for the day.

So I am reading this that you CAN see the cheerleader mentality others may be considering right now? Understand, I'm not saying you're doing the cheerleader routine but instead the perception. So... there is no right or justification to lie about being a licensed RN or all the other issues of honesty. That's what I am reading, please correct me if I am wrong. Fair enough. You see, I see things differently. I don't see truth being exposed as poison. Not even a little. When someone is posing as something they are not, exposing that person is a good thing. As tactful of a response as that is, it still does not answer my question. If someone (anyone) is banned from 8 fat boards, is it reasonable to believe it is the person that is banned vs. everyone else that might have an issue? I don't do anything to placate anyone. Dee?? Hello?? I don't even like Dee but I did what I did because I thought it was the right thing to do. It's just not in my personality to placate anyone. Just as you, I have my own set of right and wrong and I do my very best to live by that. I don't always do as I wish in hindsight, but I do try. But placate anyone? Noooo, not me. I am one whole heck of a lot of things. I'm mouthy, opinionated, without tact, without diplomacy... okay, you get the point. But I'm not dishonest and I don't do what others want me to do just to make a buddy. I do what *I* think is right. Sometimes that bites me in the ass. That's okay, if I'm doing what I think is right at the moment then I can live with the bite.

You know what? This is a good point. I don't like Dee. Never have. I thought she was a big 'ol pain in the butt the first time I ever met her. She's one of the people that chased me away from OH when I was a newbie. But later she was being treated like pooh and the reality is, she's mentally ill. I mean, there is no question about that. She admits it, it's obvious. The lady has problems. I came back to OH and this time I was wiser and stronger and I went to bat against the cheerleaders. I defended Dee for a reason, it was a bit like picking on a mentally retarded kid. I agree with drawing lines with personal harm. *I* am the one that personally emailed Sandy when Dee told me things that led me to believe she might harm Sandy. Exposing a liar is one thing, posting private contact info and making threats is quite another. Then it was said I was playing both sides of the fence. I wasn't, I was being me, same person as always. The way Dee was being treated and teased was just plain wrong. If she was a "healthier" person that would be one thing but you just don't pick on a mentally ill person. It's wrong. And doing that brings about the anger and hostility in that mentally ill person to DO harm. I make decisions according to what I believe is right or wrong regardless if I "Like" the person. I believe this is the superior stance, most on OH would disagree with me via their actions.

Chelle... Yes, you are the person I was referring to in the other post but JFTR, I would have NEVER posted your name because what was written was via PM. But... Since you are here and posting, I have a few questions for you. 1) You told me if what I was telling you was true you would "out" Sandy yourself. Clearly, you had to have discovered I was being honest. She is unlicensed, she has a criminal record, she lied to the Boards of Nursing, she lies repeatedly about currently being licensed, the NP routine, writing papers with Kuri (not talking band booklet here), and everything else. My question here is... can you see how this promotes the "cheerleader" mentality discussed her previously? I mean, NOW you say that it is her story to tell. Can you see why we look at this with a raised eyebrow? 2) Do you feel there is any right or justification for lying repeatedly over the years about being licensed in the medical profession? I mean, you have to admit that the only real reason to do that is to give herself more credibility that an unlicensed nurse would not have otherwise and to promote herself financially. Does that sound like morality or integrity to you? 3) Claiming to be licensed when in fact, she is not is a felony. Do you feel it is wrong or unfair to report her to the appropriate folks for this? 4) Why do you feel this whole issue is poison? Because what I claimed turned out to be true? There is an unlicensed nurse on OH that is in so many words telling people their doctors are wrong and she is right and she doesn't even have the integrity to explain she's a liar and a thief. She is no more licensed than my Shih Tzu is. There is poison within this issue but it isn't that the truth came to light, it is that Sandy brought this one on herself. 5) She's been banned from 8 boards that I know of, all fat boards. Do you honestly believe that is everyone at the 8 boards or do you think she's demonstrated behaviors that earn her all the bans? You know, I agree with you that we ALL have tidbits in hidden in our past that we wouldn't necessarily want brought out in the open. Our entire lives are not a free for all for fat boards. I agree with you there. BUT, I think there comes a time when someone is posing as something she isn't, giving out poor advice in some cases, basing credibility on a license that doesn't exist, and has been caught lying so many times it's believed by likely the majority that if it is coming from her keyboard, it's a lie. Any profession is going to have a certain amount of pride. We all have to work hard to maintain our licensing and when someone such as Sandy is behaving as she is, currently breaking laws that are a felony, showing herself as an example of the nursing profession, and claiming SHE is doing what is necessary to maintain a license, can you see how that might piss off those who actually DO those things? The things necessary to maintain a license? It's a bit like a turf war between RNs and medical assistants. There are RNs who report MD offices that claim to have nurses when in fact, they have CMAs. I have five years of education and a CMA has 6-9 months. Yet they refer to themselves as nurses. It's the same mentality. Many bust their back sides to maintain a license in good standing and then you have Sandy who is just a complete and total horse's ass claiming she does the same. It's infuriating. There is a great deal of information that I have on Sandy that I haven't told a bloody soul and I won't repeat it either. The reason I won't is because it has nothing to do with what is happening today. It has nothing to do with her crappy behaviors today, the lies, deceit, the works. It IS personal. It shouldn't have been as easy as it was to find but it was. I don't discuss those issues. But I will discredit her when she's lying and you are right, this issue is NEVER going to die down. But that isn't really the fault of anyone but Sandy. Had she not pretended to be something she isn't none of this would have ever been an issue. Had she not lied to promote herself financially and professionally none of this would have ever been the least bit of an issue. It would have been her own personal business. But she is the one that decided to pretend she is something she isn't. She gets what she gets.

I certainly don't disagree. It would appear the majority of people agree with Lauren!

Oh! She also claimed that she and Dr. Kuri gave fills in Dr. Neal's office during a bandster bash. However, the folks that actually WERE in that office that day including Dr. Neal and his office manager claim that isn't accurate. Dr. Kuri didn't give fills in Dr. Neal's office because Dr. Kuri isn't licensed in the US, just Mexico and Sandy wasn't there. She wasn't even in the office during the time she claimed to be helping with fills. Honestly, I don't think that woman is capable of honesty.

Yep, she still claims she is licensed under her married name. When I found out her married name I discovered she USED to be licensed. Now, I may have missed it but she claims to be a licensed nurse practitioner. According to what I read she was an RN. That's all. No NP, just an RN with a revoked license. When it was brought to her attention that claiming to be an RN or claiming to be licensed is a felony in her state she ran around editing and deleting her old posts where she made the claims. However, those posts were copied long before she had the opportunity to delete them. I'm not really sure what will come of all that, but it is being looked into.

Impossible! That would be breaking a RULE! Heh...
