Hey Pam... In Florida, recently, a teacher was fired.. because he practiced "wizardry". He did a magic trick, and made a toothpick disappear. And he was called later and told he was fired due to his wizardry. Keep that in mind when you're dealing with PITA people

I second this.

Wow, cutting you out till you get your eating disorder fixed. Sounds like some real winners for friends you got there. Time to find some new friends!!!!!! And kudos on the raw diet, I know I couldn't do it. Reminds me of being a vegetarian, which I couldn't do either. I still don't get the mentality of losing friends as you lose weight. I never had any friends judge me or say anything negative about me getting WLS, they were all 100% supportive. Maybe the only difference is, I am the fattest of all my friends, so no one is jealous of me? Only thing I can think of, because when I hear people talk about their friends cutting them off, talking bad, trying to talk them out of it, etc.. I am just baffled.

They are good for pre & post op ) The orange ones are my favorite, if they're the same ones I found. I don't remember the brand.

I want super curly hair. I use to beg my mom for a perm growing up.

I have had teachers like this before, and I remember some sort of explination a while ago. I'm always a straight A student until I'm in these classes, where the teacher doesn't "Believe In" giving A's. Bunch of BS IMO, especially since we're paying for a degree, going through all their BS of college--yeah, you know it is-- and for some stupid reason they feel the need to mess with GPA's. Anyway, I have stopped caring since I'm finally about done on my 2nd degree, but another student is really distraught about not getting an A. This teacher has given me a B across the board, and apparently everyone else. The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. I deserved an A on everything I've done in there, but for 'whatever reason' no one gets an A. What's the point? Anyone remember why some teachers do this?

Help! I'm starving and depressed!

If you can have soups, get the campbell's 'soup at hand' chicken & stars, heat it up and sip the broth out of the top. Is good stuff! -

I *HATE* protein supplements/Jamba Juice
Daisalana replied to mommakatx2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Brandy - Actually I didn't notice that, but since I went back and read it, I thought it was 11g protein per pill, and if it was 55c per pill, that's not bad. But it's actually NINE pills = 11g protein & 55c. Still not bad, but I personally couldn't do 9 pills at once for just 11g of protein. So nevermind this suggestion! -
Love the new avie Terry!! I look at 'lolcatz' all the time, they are too funny. Saw this one, and thought of you all and the washing hands thing :thumbup:

What are the new rep power numbers?

I bought some, what I call 'hoochie' shorts a week or so ago. DH whistled in approval, but I said.. where would I wear these? Definitely not work, and would I brave public in such things. 2 are jeans, one is khaki and the last is brown. But none of them come more than like 2-4 inches from my crotch. In the past if I wore these, my thunder thighs made them ride up and disappear (eek!). Now? They don't!! I can't get over it, I wore them around the house a couple days, and found myself skipping, jogging, etc.. testing them, waiting for them to suck. Only suck part is when I sit down, they disappear lol. Anyway, I finally braved it and wore them in public twice this week.. and all was good! Point of my long story.. I'm wearing my hoochie shorts to Gruene. DH only likes to eat once a day, which really screws me up. If I don't eat but once a day, when I finally eat that one time I want to go overboard. I was up by noon yesterday, but was in bed till 4 watching tv and waiting for DH to wake up. By 4 I finally woke him up. He was hungry, so I made fish sticks.. I ate 2. But then I'm hungry an hour or so later. I didn't know what I was wanting, and I went grocery shopping on Sat. so I grazed really fierce!! Had a couple funyuns, couple pork rinds, couple ruffles with onion dip (mmhm, I like this stuff that goes down).. then I had 2 strawberries with a dollop of whipped cream. Hour or so later I had 2 dove caramel pieces...and a soup-at-hand chicken & stars (about half of it). Hour later, in bed again.. ate a few chicken n a biscuits. Healthy day right?! So I made egg salad wraps for our lunch today, packed it all up.. and forgot it!!! I forgot it because DH (and in this case it means DAMN) turned on an action movie at 5am!!! I think you guys know, I have a horrendous time sleeping. And then once I am asleep, it's impossible to stay asleep, every little thing wakes me up.. dog snoring, DH snoring, airplane going over, etc. So I have a routine, I keep comedies on the tv in the background, turned really quiet, just so my brain has something to drown out all the other noises. I've told DH in the past when he puts on like CSI or The Unit, shows with 'intense' voices and crap wake me up and make my heart panicky so then I am wide awake. Well some reason he thinks The 5th Element is a good thing to watch at 5am. The first 5 minutes there's screaming and screeching, so there I am wide awake at 5am. I cussed him out and stormed into the living room with my pillow & blanket. Didn't fall back asleep till about 7:40am and the alarm clock goes off at 8. So I am tired and cranky this morning!! Oh I am holding 228lb like a charm though, no more bouncing into 230's :wink2:) What's with new rep power numbers??

Pam- Noo I wasn't at the track, I watch it with my mom every year. BUT we decided we're gonna go next year!! I think we may have a triple crown this year, Big Brown was smokin'!! I was sad about them killing Eight Belles on the track, but it ends up that's what they ALWAYS do if they get injured during the race.. kill them on the spot. They didn't do Barbaro because he was so famous (he would have won the triple crown too I think).. but eventually did have to euthanize him. It really was a buzz kill about Belles, I am glad I wasn't there, I'd probably have bawled, they do it right there in front of everyone!!! Me & mom bet on the horses on a website, I bet on Brown to win, and won $50. Wee. Hehe. Ok I don't normally have time on weekends to get on here, this weekend is no exception, dinner is burning in the oven as I type this!

I eat the cheese in the chili, but I skip the crackers. At 2 weeks post-op I wouldn't be eating shrimp yet. It's not necessarily a stay away food, but it is a food some people can't tolerate (gets stuck, cause PB, etc.).. at 2 weeks you really want to avoid a PB.

I don't like nuts.. but I had looked into them as a snack, because they ARE great sources of protein.. and Omega (good) Fats (I think that's the one). But when I looked at the little baggies, you can buy in bulk at Sam's Club.. calories are ridiculous!! The ones I saw were peanuts, a little bag, about 3in high, 2in across was 180 calories! Much rather eat peanut butter, but if you like nuts, I hear they are good for you!

Hey V's, Happy FRIDAY!! Had some weird stuff going on at work today. Now I'm in the back, I miss all the fun stuff (boo), so I had to hear them re-tell the story. Employee office entrance is on one side of the building, where most offices are.. then there's a lobby entrance for customers. A lady walked in the employee entrance, and as soon as you walk in is a desk kiosk thing, where the CSR assistant works, doing faxes, copying, etc. This lady with a durag and sweatpants, bangs on the desk. Tells her, she's in advertising and needs the CSR assistant to walk her to the front desk. So she does, the lady grabs her arm and tells her she needs to call her ride for her, she needs to get to (some road down the street). Then CSR girl hands her the phone, and she refuses to call herself. So CSR calls.. then the lady says, "I need you to take me to (road) by 10!". Starts demanding she do it. Owner comes out, and is like what the hell is going on, the lady tells her, she is going to advertise for us. She grabs a handful of business cards and our free stuff.. notepads, folders, etc. Boss lady says "What are you going to advertise?" and the lady looks up at our logo on the wall and goes "PRINTING!!!!". LOL. I asked, did you tell her.. "Please don't". heh. So they finally kick the lady out and she goes "Well I'm keeping this stuff", and they didn't take it back from her, so now she's gonna be a nut at other companies with our info.. lovely. Can't wait to get those phone calls. Then when she leaves, her ride was in the parking lot the whole time. So we're trying to figure out what she was trying to do, or if she was really just a nut job. She did leave a business card of some wedding photographer she doesn't know, but does 'bad work' with the CSR assitant.. for some reason.

Michelle Wins!!! And I was bad bad bad tonight! I was eating homemade choco chip cookies, my gma brings them to my parents when we watch survivor. It started with one, then 2 more.. then 2 more.. and I lost count at some point, but went back in there several times. I don't know what happened, if I was just thrilled something would go down without a problem or the yummy goodness of them?! Bah. Good thing I didn't eat much today.. had some asparagus for dinner, and went to doctor for lunch.. so ate my calorie quota (or more?!) in cookies.

We deserve to lose weight in an evenly distributed fashion!
Daisalana replied to Wheetsin's topic in Rants & Raves
Yeah I bitched & moaned about this not too long ago. It's not fair, where's the WLS that lets you target problem areas?! Size 18 chest, size 22 waist, size 13 pants. It's not right. -
Getting an un-fill during vacation??
Daisalana replied to redrum602's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Deja vu! If you feel you're near a sweet spot, I wouldn't touch it. Sweet spots are a rarity it sounds like! The point of a vacation is not to indulge in overeating food, that's the warped fat person mentality. I think you should focus on the whole vacation aspect, and not get unfilled just to gorge for a special occasion.. kind of defeats the whole purpose don't you think? -
WARNING! May contain cheating ideas!
Daisalana replied to jrg1979's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was tempted to look at this thread, partially because it sounds so provocative, I've been trying to live in the closet, then I thought.. maybe I do it and don't realize it!! After reading, I'm relieved to know it's not as easy as "If you stand on one leg, it'll go down better, and you can eat bread!". -
Semi-Embarrassing Question For The Ladies... (Sex-Related)
Daisalana replied to Angelyco's topic in The Gals' Room
LOL! I have never had problems being on top due to my thighs, but my back hurt really bad from being on top, I'd get out of breath, and it was not enjoyable. DH admits it's his favorite, so I give it to him as a treat (or did rather). Now I can be on top comfortably, WITH NO BACK ACHES!!.. But I'm still too lazy to do it regularly. Sometimes in normal positions, my legs can go over my head easily, yay, but it hurts my port sometimes.. so, I prefer doggie, I get no aches or pains and it feels best to me. -
Just from the responses, you can tell everyone is different! I have the smallest band, and the doc thought I would have restriction without a fill. I guess I had mild restriction. It's 9.75" long one, and holds 4cc. My first fill of .5cc was too much. They took it out, then I lost more weight, and they added .5cc back.. and I had perfect restriction for a while. Lost more weight, and last month I stopped feeling it. They added another .5cc, so I'm at 1cc now and I am pretty darn tight. Some people don't even feel 1cc and it's a lot for me.

You'd love my house then Terry, and it drives me nuts!! We buy furniture as we can afford it, so 3 years ago all I could afford was discount stuff from Oak Express.. bright pale oak-a dining table & chairs, 3 bookshelves.. then I took 2 bookshelves from my parents they were throwing out, a red tinted oak. Then our entertainment center is black wood. Then our guest bedroom (old bedroom set) and the dresser/nightstand in our bedroom is this birch wood. I can't stand it, if I was rich I would buy all new furniture, or at the very least stain the pale oak to be black & match the entertainment center. Oh and our cabinets throughout the house are mahogany. Blah blah blah. Went to dermatologist since I decided against the scary drug. She gave me a new cleanser (old one isn't doing anything), and then said there's been some research that shows using liquid Maalox, putting it on the affected area at bedtime & washing it off the next morning has been curing it, 'they' are researching to figure out why. So she's 'excited' to see if it helps me, I'm a guinea pig. Meanwhile, she doesn't want to prescribe antibiotics yet.. Oy vey. I guess some people get sick from antibiotics, but I'm not one of those people, they don't affect me and if we were gonna do scary drug, why can't we skip to antibiotics now.

I *HATE* protein supplements/Jamba Juice
Daisalana replied to mommakatx2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I haven't tried them, but maybe someone here has? I was googling protein tablets.. most of them only have 1g of protein per tablet, but this one: Solgar - Whey To Go Protein Protein Tablets Has 11g per tablet. Seems like a nice easy way to get your protein in.
