I'm not very happy that the world stopped revolving around me this morning. I want my damn birthday back. My work got a Coldstone cake for all us Libra people today, and we each got a $50 gift cert, so I'm going to milk this birthday till it's bone dry! Where's my fellow Libra people?

Betty, keep in mind that all the heat is inside the seeds and the center of the pepper. Some people blanch them, some roast them. Remove all the insides, rinse your hands, then nibble on the pepper for one taste. Then carefully crack a seed open and touch it to your tongue (watch out, that's the hot part.) When working with chilis, keep your hands away from your eyes and your girl parts! Trust me. I use a variety of chili peppers when I make salsa or anything Mexican. Each one has a different taste, each has a different heat index, some are sweeter, etc. Some aren't even hot. The different colors and tastes make the dish your own creative work of art.

That's exactly how I feel. I don't want to be frumpy any more. None of us will ever have out youth back, so if we think losing 100 pounds is going to make us look like Cameron Diaz in a bikini, we're wrong. So why not Celebrate our bods the way they are? Michelle, I'm cracking up over all that new underwear! Isn't it fun? It's like sunglasses and lip gloss, you can never have enough cute panties.

Glo, you are going to be fabulous! From your first post here till this last one, we can already see a huge improvement. Just think, it gets better every day. I'm glad to see you feeling better. Yes, your surgeons should have cared more, but not all of us were lucky enough to get caring surgeons. You win some, you lose some. It's all a crap shoot.

Welcome to THONG WORLD! Everyone needs to convert. I thought they would be awful, too, but if you get a good fit, they are the best. Michelle's wearing big girl panties! This is a very exciting moment for me. I'm not sure what my new underwear obsession is all about - I hope it's not an omen telling me I better be wearing clean underwear in case I have to meet my Maker soon. Uht oh.

You made it, and it sounds like you breezed right through it. Good luck! I've got my cat eyes on you!

Wait, am I supposed to wear this corset out of the house? Hell, I'd rather have flab rolls then be bound up more more than a swing from the chandelier.

Coyote girl, thank you for the cute bracelet! Ladies, this chick has been keeping a secret - she is very creative! What a cute card she made me, plus the bracelet. That was the sweetest unexpected gift... thanks T!

Glo, I think a lot of us kind of freaked out when we woke up. I still wake up from time to time wondering about this thing around my belly. I'm really thankful for your thread though, because it allows new people to get a perspective on some of the negative things that can be associated with the band. I wish I could be there to hold your hand, because you seem to have a lot of anxiety over your decision. You're going to have to trust us though, that if you remain compliant, the weight will start coming off, and that's what you wanted, right? As far as not being mentally prepared, I think it's a shame that so many people have this surgery without spending a few weeks here at LBT first. There's so much to learn with the band and new lifestyle. Doctors will tell you this and that, but the real stuff is right here at this message board. Anyone else that's new and considering the band should just keep reading and reading and asking tons of questions before getting banded. It's a huge, huge decision, a gamble, a chance... and hope. Hang in there. I hope we see a happier Glo soon.

Well if it makes you feel better, I should have ordered the larger thong. This one's creeping up my butt (happy nightmares.) I sure do miss Avenue's thongs. They were full cover thongs, not butt floss.

Awe, just buy the corset! Hey to all you granny panty women, many guys think granny panties are sexy. The ones with holes or bad seams have to go though!

I just saw on the news: WWW.AIRTRODUCTIONS.COM It's a cute new dating service to hook people up that fly. Register at the site, and you can sit next to single people while you fly. So far there's only 700 members but growing every day. I think it's a fabulous idea on how to meet new people!

Wait a second, how come I resume to eating after an urp? Nestegg, I think you're on the right track becaues we are supposed to go easy on our bands after any kind of episode. An urp is a sign we've eaten too fast or too big a bite. I'm desperate. I need a new thread. Sigh. Kare, I want to jump in your dating world, but I started a whole new thread for that. I'm really into you single girls and think it's an important topic that deserves a special thread. This urping tread is a great one, too so see me in the other thread.

Name each one.

Get on your bikes and ride! I guess the only way I'll ever get on Girls Gone Wild is if I start singing the stong. Thanks Queen, gotta get my butt movin.

Oh, did I forget to tell you that I now weigh like 95 poudns? Boy, if I could look like that girl I'd be in major trouble. Sometimes I think God wants me fat because he knows I'd be a damn slut if I were skinny. DeLARLA! BE A LADY. Oh, shut up, Lisa. YOU WHORE. You bore! I can't believe you. I can't believe YOU, have some fun. YOU HAVE TOO MUCH FUN. Shut up. NO, you shut up.

Yep, I'm sending back one of my corsets today and trading in for all these boycut panties. I usually hate the boycuts, but these have enough lycra on the bottom to hug my bootie I should start another XXXXXXXX rated thread for the things my husband expects out of me in that corset. Hut he said he should pre-register at the sex clinic since he knows his $%@#$% is going to hurt by the end of the weekend!

Are You Back Yet?

Today is very sad. My birthday is over, and I'm a commoner again. Did I listen to the good advice about only one piece of cake, or using a vibe instead of food? Noooo. Now my belly is quite not-happy. I had the creamiest Italian food (extra parm.) Stopped at 2 glasses White Zin but then some men bought me another even when I was with Chris! I told everyone I was 34 and they all bought it, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Happy birthday to the 30 year OLD man! What's an AARP catalog, and should I order one now that I'm 34 again?

LOVEFIFI.COM Who said that? So, I went to lovefifi.com to do some "fantasy shopping." I was just clicking on anything that sounded marvelous. Then I entered my credit card information and assumed I would see a confirmation page. But there was no such page, so I accidentally charged $300.00 in underwear! I got the order yesterday. Only a dork like me would order 2 purple corsets (considering I don't know what the hell to do with one.) I have purple corsets, fishnets in purple and black, pasty things for over my nipples. I'm returning one corset and exchanging for these FABULOUS panties that I'm wearing today. They are shiney lycra with lace, kind of a sexy boyshort. I'm getting them in every color. So thank you all for your honesty. This thread should be a sticky so we are reminded on a daily basis to love ourselves and allow yummy hot sexy panties to rule our wardrobe. Today I threw away every last pair of uglies. Nothing but fancy pants in my panty drawer now!

Okay, who really does like a good spanking? I only got "spanked" once, many moons ago. At first I almost punched the guy in the face, but I eventually ended up marrying the pervert. I guess the best thing about today is that my father (alcoholic asshole absent pig man) called. It was about the nicest talk we've ever had, and probably the only one where we didn't fight. I didn't even meet him till I was 18. Control freak male chauvinistic, racist, judgmental bastard. I even confessed that I'm selling adult items now. I figured I'd just get the insulting and bashing over with, but the guy actually supported me since the money is coming in. If I could just hold my breath and not let him get to me, I could be fishing in the Keys next week. Now that he's inbetween girlfriends (friggen blue eyed playboy even at his age) he has time for me. I'm checking flights while the vibes are good! Key Largo is dreamy, and he's got 3 boats, a glass bottom paddle boat, lives on a Water canal, toys galor, takes me DANCING at night on the boat to the Carribean Club. Yep, time to grind my teeth and visit him, right? HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, the world's biggest ham. By the way, you guys must know by now that I despise Christmas, Easter, etc., right? I like the religious and family parts, but hate the decorating and commercial parts. So I rarely celebrate. But birthdays are special and wonderful. I always felt lonely and sorry for myself on my birthdays till I hit 40, then I decided to make my own damn parties! Ever since then, I'm having a blast. So, next time it's your birthday, don't sit around waiting for any to plan stuff. Go shopping, make reservations, have a party in your own honor. Once a year, it's the only day we are special. Oh, I'm rambling cause I could just hug and squeeze and kiss you all right on the lips with huge smooches. This is so, so nice. Thanks again.

Hey Michelle, next Bash we're taking time to ride to Red Rock to hunt down that hunk above. I know those mountains from anywhere! That's Red Rock Canyon about 20 minutes from the Love Shack (my place.) I LOVE YOU GUYS. And I'm not even slobbering drunk. This is a whole party right here in this little thread. Okay, everyone visit my site now. EVIL GRIN ))

I've had tons of surgery. It's my hobby. Not by choice, but the Band was one of the easier ones. Just take it really easy and let the whole kaboodle heal really well before doing cartwheels. See you on the banded side.

P.S. This is a really LAME time for this super-tight restriction. Dear Band Goddess, please don't make me PB my cake.

Well there goes my mascara. Oh yeah, I'm not wearing any so I can just sit here sobbing! Did I mention that permanent make up rocks that way? This is such a treasure... thanks you guys. I'm kinda getting speechlessy here. I gotta tell you one of the underwear items is a purple corset, too expensive, completely unnecessary, and impossible to get into. So since I was being ridiculous anyway, I figured, "What the hay" and got the fishnets in purple and black! I'm gonna eat a hunk of fudgey gooey cake now, for tomorrow I shall diet (yeah, sure.)
