Mariposa Bella, You made me crack up..... You made me think of that song from years ago....( I'm so sexy ) Terry

I had a dream last night about that guy getting is but ### done. It was a short dream, but I remember wondering why on earth I would have a dream like that. HarleyNana you are making me have strange dreams. Mariposa Bella....ever wonder how that lady on dr.90210 even knew that her but ### was to dark? Why would she even care? One has to wonder if maybe she was some kind of butt model. You never know what some people do for a living. I'm just saying.....

As I live in my small little world of lapband, and I view life's funny moments, you have to have a bright and halarious point of view with what we face on a daily bases. Soooooooo in saying that, pleaaaaase tell me the story behind the JoJoBanana name. Crazycat

Hi Michelle, I'm so sorry to here that you are sick. I think I would call the doctor's office and ask them if you should reschedule l the surgery. I'm sure they will be able to give you good advice on that. Hey....16 lbs down is great. :eek: Let me know what the doctor's office says. Terry

Why don't you guys have a ticker? Let me know if you need any help getting one. Terry

Yea.....Thats going be coltonwade (Mindy) come Monday; just like what we saw on Housewives of Orange County. lol Terry

Kyethra, You are really doing good with weight loss. Some people do need to have plastic surgery after loseing alot of weight, you sound like you may be one of them. You are doing really good though; you have losed twice the amount of weight then I have and I started befor you. Where did you get the svelt belt? I've never heard of it. Terry

I hope you did'nt get caught by your boss. It would be terrible if he made you read out loud what you were laughing at. :biggrin:

Hi Michelle, Hey do'nt feel bad....things happen on all diets, we just are'nt made to be purfect. If we were we would'nt need the band in the first place. I fell off the wagen too when I was on my liquid diet. I went to Sonic burger. That's alot worse then a few pringles. The reason the doctor wants you to lose weight befor the surgery is so that your liver will shrink some. It makes it easyer for the doctor to get around it when he's putting your band on. Tomorrow just jump back into your liquid diet and he will never know. I did'nt have a good day either. I bought one of those small bags of sugar free candy and yes....I ate the whole thing. Terry

I just had an unfill a week ago. My doctor wants to see me again in 30 days. It seems like its taking me along time to get my band adjusted. My doctor only said, " you won't lose weight if you are too tight." I will admit....I need to make better food choices. I have also been trying to get in a lot of water and going to the gym every day. I have'nt lost any weight in over a month. I'll let you know what he says the next time I go in. Thanks for asking, Terry

Hi Michelle, You sound like you are doing great on you liquid diet. Your right the weekends are alot harder. If you have lost 13 lbs, you are doing out standing. I have always tried to stay away for caffeine drinks, outside of having a coke once in a while; so I never had the headaches. I had my surgery done in Mexico by Dr.Ortiz on Jan.22 2007. As you can see...I'm a very slow losser. I feel like I'm still working out the kinks in getting my band just right. Last friday I had to have Dr.Rohscheib do an unfill. I have to go back to see him in one month. I hope I have lost something by then. I have just started going to the gym like a good girl. You may have to get creative with the unjury. I didnt like it but then again...I do'nt like milk. Keep me tuned in Michelle on your progress. Terry

I would'nt mind getting one but when you get to be my age...54, I sometimes mulit task when I do'nt mean to.(mulit tasking,screaming,laughing ,crying,farting,ect.) especially if I have to get on all fours to reach some of the vital areas. I'm just saying things might happen.

Ok lady's.....I've been reading all your replys and I have just got to share this joke with you. This will make you laugh. All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. Read on......... My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, eat dinner, play with the dog. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise.....the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!) So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in, so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works! OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire. With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the dog, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip). I inhale deeply and brace Myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!! I'M BLIND!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GAAAWD!!!!!!!!! Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted. I think I may pass out..... Must stay conscious...must stay conscious. Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe.......breathe!!! OK, back to normal. I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip! There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX??? Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip.....it's not! I touch. I am touching wax. I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake.......remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet. I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down. Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut! I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself..... "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!" What can I do to melt the wax? Hot water!! Hot Water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right??? WRONG!!!!!!! I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment.......I sit. Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub......in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax. So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!! I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter....... "So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!" There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?" She's laughing out loud by now.....I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box. YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night. While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor . Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!! By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event. My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and....... OH MY GOD!!!!!!! The scream probably woke the neighbors and scared the dickens out of my friend. It's soooo painful, but I really don't care. "IT WORKS!! IT WORKS!!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair.... THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT! So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point. Next week I'm going to try hair color......

Hi Brynna, Nice to meet you. I wish you and your sister lots of luck with your weight loss program. I hope the insurence pays out of you. Please keep us updated, Terry

Hey you guys, Check out this site. It may help you. Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test - recipes

I did'nt know it had an experation date? I hope my boob's do'nt. I've had them for 30 years and the girls still look good.

Hi Michelle, You are doing fine just quite worrying so much. :cursing: I did the same thing. I worryed about if I could get my pills down. Yes you can. I do'nt like slim fast either. Put some tang,peanut butter, ect flavoring in it. Use one scoop fat free ice cream and make a small shake. When you get banded....at first you wo'nt be very hunry .... much. You will still be able to take your pills. It is very important to not eat solids until the doctor has told you its ok. You need to give your stomic time to heal. I was told to take my med's even on the day of surgery. The pills will be in the bottom of you tummy, not the top where the doctor will be putting the band on. Feb.8th is right around the corner..... :thumbup: You will do fine. Terry

You'll be feeling alot better tomorrow. :hurray: Make sure you walk,walk,walk to get the gas worked out of your system. (The gas that the doctor used for the surgery....thats the gas I'm talking about.) I was at John Warner yesterday too. I was there in the morning down in x-ray.

Hi everyone, I just got back from John Warner. Dr. Rohrscheib looked at my band under the x-ray and he said it's fine. He gave me an unfill and he wants to see me in one month. I'm glad I got the x-ray though for just the piece of mind. He said some people...myself being one of them just does'nt need much fill with their bands. I ready to eat my salads now...ya hoo. He asked me if I had heard the news about his new office going in Champain. He seems excited. :rolleyes2: Are we going to meet for lunch at Panaras on Kirby ave, Feb.4th at noon? Kelly I can't wait to see what you look like now. Terry

I have a thing about germs. I won't touch a door handle with my bare hands unless I have to. When we go out to eat I use a paper napkin to pick up the salt and pepper . I also will not touch the back chairs or the bottom of chairs, or even the table if we go out to eat. I carry a lot of wipes with me and it even bothers me if I can't get my husband to use them befor he eats. He likes to go by the 10 second rule too and that really gets to me. Lord help me if someone snizzes.

In joy your chinese lunch. I hav'nt been able to eat chinese since I have gotten the band. My last big splurg was a Sonic burger. Good luck and I hope you do well on your liquid diet. :rolleyes2: Do you think you will need plastic surgery after you lose all your weight? I've been wondering and hoping I wont need it. Everyone's skin is so different.
