I tried Depo-provera once, despite already being incredibly fat, I gained a record 30lb in less than a month. Not for me!!! And the cup, I looked at the website (my brain still won't agree to it), but it says you re-use the cup, so no buying 'a whole box', just buy the one. Maybe 2 for a back up.

I take Midol.. empty stomach, drinks lots of fluid to wash it through.

I agree that you should call and say hey, bring the $20 and come get the desk. I wouldn't move it to the curb thouggh. I also wouldn't hold it ransom considering you're moving soon too.. that means if she never gets around to getting it, you have to deal with disposing of it! And there's a lesson to be learned in using deposit as last month's rent. Real estate managers will absolutely never do this.. and there's a reason! Hopefully, you won't ever say OK to this again :tongue:

Uhm.. have dairy!! :biggrin2: I swear I never had a glass of milk a day in my life before I got banded. Never cared for it. Since banding, I crave it and have about 3 glasses of it a week.

Beating a dead horse.. I got my mom into Mika, she bought the CD yesterday, I just burned it to my computer. Most of it is good!

Not even reading all 4 pages (yet anyway), but really the simple solution is.. not everyone wants to help out the newbies...and you don't have to! What their reason for always whining about the same thing (support?) or not getting the info pre-band (bad medical care? Not paying attention?).. this is a support forum and you can do that. No need to scrutenize people for it, if you don't want to help support or inform people, the areas are clearly marked --support, questions, etc. Stay out. Kind of ironic, someone whining here about going into the support area and seeing people looking for support.

If I give you 2 hours notice, you better damn well be there. In all seriousness, wish I could pass some of you guys a xanax. Hugs for you all though!!

What a bizarre letter.. he could sue for slander, but if it's true it's not slander, so he would lose. But.. that's extremely weird, and I hope that keeps anyone else from using him.

Just had to share before I went to bed. I SO HAPPY!!! Now, you can tell I don't have stuff appropriate for a china hutch lol. One whole row of my shot glasses (Alamo is in there!!) and top shelf, the lady gave me 3 vases from hers she said to start my collection, I put 2 of my roses I got at Gruene in them. Then wedding cake flowers, and a silver platter we got for our wedding and that's about it. Now I have a reason to buy Waterford :lol:

I had issue when I was on ortho-tricyclen b/c... I would get literally-crazy. Internally while I was screaming at DH I would go "What is your problem?! Do you hear yourself?! STOP!!" and I couldn't. I would go ballistic once a month, self-proclaimed PSYCHO BITCH. My doc swapped me to orth-tricyclen lo.. it made it stop altogether, so I blame my hormones!! But my next gyno, when I explained why I was on "lo" she said sugar is a part of it. This was pre-band days, but she said eating sugar causes emotional 'highs' with subsequent 'lows'. She compared it to a drug addict. I'm not saying she's wrong, so I think that's something to consider with your binge eating.. but then I went on Yaz and I eat sugar as I please with no more highs & lows. Sounds like you're in a vicious cycle, Insecurity + binge eating = fighting non-stop with DH --- and also Fighting with DH= insecurity & binge eating!! Just make sure you apologize sincerely to DH after you do something like that, I think it will at least help!! Explain that you can't help yourself and you're trying to fix it.

WOOHOO, you'll be banded before you know it!

Mine is under my bra line and I have no problems with it, I don't even feel it. When it was in my waist-line it gave me discomfort when I bent over, or pants rubbed on it.

You guys kill me, we get a 'powder room' and this thread is highlighted. :sad:

2-days Pre-men, I get pretty tight, where I choke on my teeny tiny medicines. And I also want to eat like a cow during this time. Kind of a blessing in disguise :sad: I think I am always stressed, so I see no fluctuation due to stress since I don't know what it's like.. not-stressed.

There's lots of stuff that as I feel it getting stuck I just think "Oh COME ON". Like deli meat, I can't get over that. A teeny tiny piece feels like I swallowed a baseball. I don't eat carrots, but I know a lot of veggies I eat in salads can be a doozy depending on the time of day. You learn as you go, eh?

Hey now!!! That mean you're not coming to my baby shower?! :sad: Oh & Jane.. may or may not help, but couldn't hurt.. Write a letter to food & sugar? Not trying to be corny, but you never know. I've written letters to dead friends, and my cat that we just put to sleep.. and it really did help me get my thoughts out and get them out of my head!!

I don't aim for a particular number, but I replaced cokes & whatever else I would normally drink with water. I end up getting at least 50oz a day now just because I don't drink other stuff. I always keep a bottle at work (and there's a water fountain in the break room). Just make an effort to drink water throughout the day :sad:

First off, if you are pregnant the weightloss needs to go on the backburner for now. Don't keep getting fills (if yer preg) till your doc gives you the go-ahead. If you're not, you need to get your fill levels checked. Free or not, you may want to go to someone who will do it under fluero so you can find out if you're sliming due to being too tight, or sliming due to eating too big of bites. I'm too tight right now, and weight loss is slowing down.. it could be a number of things, one of which being it's so hard to eat normal food I really eat a lot of junk & crap right now. And if your doc is pushy and intimidating, just remind yourself when you go that it's only a few more visits, and screw what they think.. they work for you!!

Shoulda thrown a rock at her bony neck. :sad:

Me too Terry, I don't have this kind of drama in my life, and it sounded right out of my judge shows. I was so excited to be a bystander hahah. When mom invited me to go and gave me the low down, I had my bells on and ready to go. She would have done it too if my mom wasn't there to diffuse it. Maybe next time!

Hi & Welcome :sad:)

Woohoo congrats!

Wow you're opening up a world I didn't even think about.... baby furniture?! You gotta furnish them?! :biggrin:

Glad you checked in Haydee! I won't say anything more about Juan... It's good to keep busy though.. and yeah, I love Craigslist (for buying & selling). I've gotten rid of furniture I don't know what to do with there, and I'm always on the look out for a good bargain.. right now we need 2 nice solid wood computer desks. I've seen some, but they were too bulky.. so I'm the same way, I check occasionally.. and that's how I ended up with the entertainment center & china hutch. I am so excited, I talked to the lady today and she said "When I first bought that china hutch, I was so excited and on cloud 9". I was like "ME TOO! I was dancing around the house yesterday" lol. Really nice couple. I plan to sell a queen set on there eventually, we have the bed in the guestroom, and the dresser/nightstand in our room. I don't like it, and have wanted to sell it & buy new stuff, but waiting till the 'new stuff' is available on craigslist that I like. Just had chicken salad-salad from Firehouse, man it is SO good. My sister's new girlfriend is moving into the house with her Saturday.. and they're engaged. They met like not even a month ago. I don't get it!! But her ex came to pick up her stuff, so we went over to supervise (sister said she was threatening her). So her stuff is in bags in the driveway, we're sitting on the tailgate of sister's truck.. she peels into the driveway, passes her stuff, and is bee-lining it to my sister with a purpose. I was gettin ready to get my camera phone goin.. YOUTUBE! My mom diffused the situation she jumps up and goes "Hey! Want me to help you with your stuff?" and she pauses and storms back to the car with some of her crap.. then she peeled out of the drive way. Such animosity!!

I thought the same thing, and my sister confirmed it. I turned her onto Mika and she was looking up his bio.. he does not like the ladies :biggrin:
