Hope you are feeling better Paula. Mumm Gumbo heard it is good but have not tried it. I have been cheating when I get to the point that I should not take that next bite, I actually do I chew and have a napkin handy and spit it out. (How gross) but It gives me a moment to think what is going to happen if I swallow. Then I have to leave the table or toss my unfinished plate into the trash.

That is great you have your Band place correct this time. Take them for every last penny you can! Best Wishes

I got one from My Dr's Office. I have only used it a few times seems not all Resturants will let you order from the Childrens menu.

Mine say 175.00 I lied when I put that down it was more like 220.00 but they did not know that. But I do get the double take when I do pull it out at the Dept stores. I look so different than my most wanted photo. But alas I go get a new one this year and hope fully I will be less than 175.00 and very proud to put my new weight.

Welcome back Vera Glad that it was only a hole in your tube and nothing more extreme. You are such a trooper to be awake for the whole thing. really need to do spell check b4 I post anything. Edited

Welcome Kristi, Best Wishes

That is sweet Alex:)

When I was younger I had knee surgery on both knees. Twice on my right and once on my left which left me unable to have alot of vigorus movement. This happend from the time I was about 11 to 13yrs old in the time frame I ate to compensate for not being able to run around like the other kids my age. Anyway around 13 guess what popped out (.(. then no one really wanted to play with me or if they did it was not the right way. So again I ate to compensate for having no friends. Also being big boned as they use to call me runs on my dads side of the family Not to mention Asthma had alot to do also with not running around.

It was my Band Doc and he did mention that I should see My PCP or GYN Dr and let her know what was going on. so I will be making an appt as soon as they are back from lunch. Wow if that was a Hot Flash put me out to pasture now and shoot me. That was awful the rest of the day I was so paranoid it was going to happen again. Even told my oldest if Mommy falls down and goes to sleep please call 911 and don't let your little brother outside. I even now turn the thermosate down before I go into the bathroom how odd is that? Well I will be sure to ask for blood test to see what is going on we have a history of Thyroid problems in my family. I have been taking B-12 Plus Folic Acid started it right before I was banded but will check into the other Vitamins as well. Thank you. Thank You

chubby fat A$$ Gordita Jugs When I was in middle school because I developed early the guys use to ask me how my rocky mountains were doing. very humiliating

I thought you were talking about socks. OH you said stocks My bank account is good except you do not earn any interest and you can not withdraw. Have no clue about stocks at the moment.

Ok I confess I use to eat popcorn that fell in my blouse that way. 5 second rule did not apply since it never touched the ground.

Gosh Penni it even has a scenic view. I am so jealous And for entertainment I could roll down the hill like the kids do once I passed out climbing to the top.

Best of Luck Mike and welcome to LBT. Cannot answer the guy question maybe some of the men on the board can.

Hi Lisa, All your feelings are normal. I actually had a full blown panic attack in pre op. Never had one in my whole life one nurse had me breathing in a paper bag while the other was holding my hand and yet another was wiping my forehead with a cold towel. My advise have someone in preop with you to make the time pass by fast. I can laugh about it now but every surgery your going to second guess yourself. Can you imagine a patient running down the hall hooked up to the IV and holding a suitcase in one hand and trying to cover your back side with the other..

Welcome Banded & Tattooed, Best wishes on your New Journey. Let us know how you are doing when you are up to it. Take Care

I want to be Fluffy too. That sounds pretty good to me

Princess I like your suggestion. That was indeed a good one.

Yesterday I got a flyer in the mail sent in an envelope from a cousin I barley know in Arizona. Anyway this is what it says. Please donate to prove my son innocent inclosed find a deposit slip so that they we may get a lawyer for my son. They have my phone number here at work and at home. Not to mention both e-mail addresses. I went on the family web site to see exactly what happend that they would need a lawyer and nothing was there. I do not think I need to call them and ask or should I just send money that I do not have?? I also checked the Phoenix Arizona newspaper and it is vauge on what happend but the son got arrested for a double homicide. Just don't know what to do..

No Denise I'm not hearing that song. I was thinking while I was writing it you all were going to think I really went OT or off the deep end but I can never forget those nights and some times I smell Occur out of know where. Just have to smile to myself that I know she is hear with me. Kelly that is wonderful that you found the Blanket. Very special Memories. Wow Paula I bet having your family close by was great. What a special memory that is.

At 177 you are awesome. Heels I would break my neck among other things. Watch out you are HOT!!

Good luck Alice.. Keep us posted

I have heard that Gas-x helps. Might try that and to stay regular I would try a little more fiber in your daily intake. I get mine from Cereal with Fiber I am sure there are differnt types that work great. Julie you sure are doing great 22 lbs is great.

This is my favorite and I have only told this to one other person my husband. This happend after she actually passed away though we had very special times together when she was alive. It must have been less than a week after the funeral I was in a sound sleep when I was awaken by a noise in my living room when I sat up I could see to the couch and I called out who's there? No answer but I knew someone was there, again I called out but this time My Mom (Grandmother) says it's only me I'm going to sleep on your couch. So I said Ok never giving it another thought. Well you all know what happend in the morning she was gone. I sat there for quite awile because I really saw her and I could smell her perfume it was so real. Anyway I figured it had to be a dream so I put it in the back of my mind. Well here came another night and the same thing except she was going to sleep by my side, she held my hand all night I could feel every bone in her hand but then right before dawn she said she had to go. When I think of her I always recall those nights they meant the most:(
