Hey, Cut her some slack people. We all spout off sometimes! I know I do. Susannah

Hi, This is so tragic. Gun control anybody? Frankly I understand about the American Constitution, but everybody does not have the right to bear arms/ have a weapon etc. I am sorry they just do not. This is awful. Susannah:confused:

Hey Big Thunder, Pretzels are a better choice than the candy I would imagine. I have found that if you pack a little box with a few snacks of fruit/sultanas in it, and carry it with yo, you can have a healthy option on hand for times like this. Keep up the good fight old son!:clap2: Susannah

Welcome back Kotter!:biggrin1: I don't think you should eat pizza so soon after banding either, and I choose to refrain from eating it all together. This forum is not dangerous. We are all adults, and you make the correct decisions or you don't. Susannah

Hi Sunta, This is horrific. I feel so sad for the families of the dead. How and why did the person who comitted this heinous act have a weapon? So sad. Susannah

Hey, Jono and Jenin you took the words right out of my mouth! You should definately not be eating pizza three weeks out. If you must have a slice, wait until you have lost most of your weight and then and only then have it as an occasional treat. Susannah

Hey, I am a Hungarian Aussie, does that count?????:biggrin1: Susannah

Hi Denmark, Cogratulations on the weight loss.:clap2: Welcome to Lapbandtalk. I am from Australia. Make sure you Danes take care of our Princess Mary! LOL:biggrin1: Susannah

Hey, We are women Laurend. We should just shutup and get back in the kitchen etc.:biggrin1: Susannah

Let me guess. You are an Obesty Help member?!:biggrin1: Susannah

Hi Lapbandit, What is the web address for this animated website? I could certainly use the extra help with the visuals. Susannah

Thank goodness there are intelligent and articulate people out there like Laurend! Susannah

Hello! Bush is not well regarded internationally either to be honest. Susannah

Hi Girlz, How is everybody? I am having the next two days off as I need some "Me" time. All is well in my personal bandland experience. I have been slogging away at the exercise, and it seems to be paying off. I was told to exercise every day, but just wondering if you have to do that? I have dipped my toe into the bizarre world that is online dating, and I can tell you that it is really confronting for me as I am the most insecure person in the world when it comes to meeting and talking to guys. It is really overwhelming to be honest. My sister rekons I shouldn't try to hook up with someone through the net, but where else do you go to meet someone? I am not a club type person, and I don't want to stand in a loud, smoke filled room at a pub. Will keep you all posted. Going in for a fill tomorrow, hopefully it will give me more restriction. Susannah

Sacha Baron Cohen really is a hugely talented man, but this movie is cringe worthy to be honest. I love to laugh and have a great sense of humour, but this movie is so purile and juvenile. SBC is a Jew and so am I, but I can't stomach this. I remember being a scared ten year old child and a man spitting on and verbally abusing my grandfather calling him a "Jewball". I still remember that incident to this day. Susannah

He wasn't just ''Calling people names''. Those words are particularly derogatory and frankly nasty and horrifying to people of African American descent I would imagine. It must be so hard living in a society that is so dominated by one cultural group. It may be valuable to see the world through the eyes of others sometimes. Susannah

Hi, Well you reap what you sow. I will not be shedding any tears over his firing. He really needs to take a look in the mirror, namely he is an ugly old creep. I am sorry but these kind of vicious, nasty comments are not to be tolerated. There is free speech and there is hate speech. I applaud the women for actually having the grace and dignity to meet with this man. Susannah

Hey, This is a thread for those of us with lap bands that have Multiple Sclerosis. I thought we could discuss how we are living with the disease, current issues about MS related to research and meds. Basically give each other a bit of support, and have a few laughs. At the rate we are going there will be more Bandsters coming to our site that have MS. Susannah

Meredith, Oy vey! You need some real yiddishche nosh, such as chicken and kneidelach soup stat!:biggrin1: Shoshanna

Hey Christie, Optifast was not too bad for me either. I did a three week pre op course of it in January which was easier because being summer I was not really craving heavy foor etc. Good luck with it. This will be the best decision you have ever made, mark my words. Hi everybody else! Are we all hibernating already pre winter?! I like colder weather because you can take nice hot baths, and put your electric blanket on etc. I am fine. I am going in for a fill next Tuesday and I might ask them to put a slightly larger fill in. I don't feel very restricted with the 2.5mls in my band that I currently have. Oh the elusive sweet spot! Tomorrow is Friday. Yipee! Susannah

Hi Alexandra, Hope you are feeling ok both physically and emotionally. Why don't you wait until the new AP band is released in America? It is thought to be much less likely to slip, and it is also thought to facilitate more weight loss than other bands. I have the AP ( Small). Good on ya!:clap2: Susannah

Hi, Yes I heard about this outrage, What a disgusting swine this man is. He is an absolute disgrace. Rev Sharpton is right in calling for this man to resign. A two week suspension? Pathetic. Susannah

Hi Paul, Welcome! Feel free to chat away here on the chat thread with us. It would be nice to have a male here to discuss banding issues with also. Susannah

Hey Mez, Believe me I didn't want to exercise, but I knew how hard it would be to have missed a few days of it and to have to do it again. It is like starting from scratch again. I hate exercising, but I like losing weight, so I force myself. Susannah

Hey, 396 I accept your apology. Just know that we are all bandsters/future bandsters here just looking for support and advice. I understand that this is the rants and raves section of the board, but I am sure we have many gay and lesbian bandsters on this board. They are discriminated against enough in the wider community, they don't need to log on here and feel demonised also. Susannah
