Ok, not sure who all seen this aired episode, but it cracked me the hell up! OMG! Sorry, I know some people were really hurt by this wacked out dude - however I still found it rather entertaining. Now I'm gonna be nice and use this as an opportunity for all you out there wanting to become a famous Supermodel that, uh, should you see one of his ads on MySpace or where ever that he is full of baloney. :smile: --------------------------------------------- Reality bites for modeling hopefuls - Dateline NBC- msnbc.com

Seriously... ...and why didn't I think of that?

I do still, but it's more of a morning get going thing and to help to get all the daily Protein needs. I drink it while getting ready for work and to take my daily Vitamins. I also add some Fiber to it. I do not use it as a meal replacement. I make them to be a bit over 100 calories, then I will have some Cereal and a banana in a few hours. Don't hate on the shakes ppl, I like them!

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but for all you engaged in this thread and topic, Octobiotch is going to be on Dr. Phil tomorrow & Thursday. Set your DVR's! Dr. Phil.com - Shows This Week

Hi Stephanie, You would probably have more luck in one of the lapband areas than here. I do have HBP and having the band has helped me a great deal with this. I am only now taking 25% dosage than what I used to and my BP is always really good when taken at the Dr's Office. I don't have any of the other issues so I'm no help with those. Good Luck!

Gloucester, I too like those types of movies and I liked Paul Blart. Yes, there was some fat humor in it - true, but that is how Kevin James makes his fame. Anyway, I liked it. Did anyone see Slumdog Millionaire? I think I wanna catch it.

I just seen Paul Blart... and I really liked it. I really love the slapstick crazy immature hilarity films. Why? I have no idea, so don't you judge me! I hate sappy love films. Ick, yuck and kack! That Benjamin Button film seems almost borderline fiendish. So an old man meets a young girl, but she grows up and they have a relationship? Weird, sorry. I don't think I'll be watching that - and now especiallys since everyone in the movie thinks this is acceptable behavior and nothing is strange about an old man turning young. Okay my rant has finished. I'll be back when I see another movie. OH! PS, I love Lifetime movies! hehe

:tt2: :tt2: :lol: ...again... :lol: :lol: :lol: I know that for a fact. When they do the cooking scene's I FF right through. OMG, Can you imagine them showcasing him doing his pool workouts? ...again... :lol: :lol: :lol: OMG, I'm such a bitch. OK, I love blue -- they are super HOT! Pink, they both annoyed me so I'm not crying over Shanon leaving. Purple, I like them! For once I seen someone with genuine tears on this show. Too much pining goes on and it really annoys the crap out of me. Brown, please... please... PLEASE fall below the yellow line next week --- or, or, OR PUT ON YOUR SHIRTS! Tara and the other green chick... I'm just kidding of course but her partner doesn't get any love. I like her, and you know what? Tara constantly bashing her and making her feel inferior ISN'T HELPING! That is all.

Really? Then I must have been doing it wrong. Guess I missed that in the "Post-Bandsters Manual"... ...and I've heard it was BWAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

LMFAO! Dan, you are hilarious!! :wink::thumbup::lol:

Okay so I thought it was supposed to be more exciting. Well, I don't feel excited or much of anything really. I think I'm too tight. Period. I was reading through some of the threads and it occurred to me why I might be resorting to eating too many slider foods. It hurts to eat the good stuff. I hate it, and YES I eat slow, and YES I take tiny bites. For goodness sake it takes me an hour just to eat a tiny plate. It's annoying! I hate it! :crying: I have a very unhealthy relationship with my band. PS, I'm posting this here to the newbies hopefully wont' see this, but there is a chance they might. Hey, though the band isn't all creampuffs and rainbows okay? Some of us are hard headed and have a more difficult time figuring it out. I've only lost a bit over 40 Lbs. with it all year. I lost more weight on my own even! I'm not bashing the band, it's my own fault. I just think my expectations of it were a bit skewed. I didn't get really great advice from my Doctor or I just wasn't listening. I'm not sure. He does stress that being too tight is NOT a good thing. He was right. It doesn't help now that I have arthritis in my knees greatly reducing my ability to workout. One day I'm mighty woman and the next I can't even stay on the exercise bike for more than 20 Minutes. Well whatever. Rant over. I guess I just wanted to gripe a little bit. One year down, and here's hoping I can start over in this my year two. Best wishes to everyone, and Congratulations on all of you who have "figured it out".

Anytime my friend. :tongue2: Hmmm... what WOULD it be like to live in a Walgreen's World?

Everyone, Thank you so much for your encouraging thoughts and words, it really meant alot! I do have to try to be happy in that I did lose some weight - I know that. My slight unfill is on Friday and I hope for the best on that. I think the stresses of other things going on in my life play a big part in my tightness. You guys are the best - we may be a small group now but I can't ask for a better group with such understanding. :tongue2: I hope all of your Bandiversaries are so much better than mine... LOL

Hey all.. well there is only a few weeks left on the New Year's Day Challenge so I'm starting a new one. I've missed the last few and need to get started RIGHT NOW! Sorry for jumping the gun, but hey - it is what it is... :ohmy: BEST WISHES to all! Name...........Start Lbs........Current..........Goal.....To Go LilMissDiva........253...............253..............244...........9

Heaven, It is very normal to feel hunger at this point. You should definitely follow your doctor's guideline on what you should eat however. It is very important you stick to your routine. It doesn't last forever, hang in there! It can be done, and any of us will tell you that. It's not easy, oh no - but nothing worth doing ever is.

Wow seems like ppl are all over the place. I think mine is at about a 4.5cc fill. I'm at about 5 right now and I believe I might be a bit over filled. I see my surgeon next Friday and will ask for a tiny release.

Jaime, I am deeply saddened to hear of this terrible news. I will certainly put in a prayer for you, your baby and for your family as well. Nothing we say will erase the pain, but just know that all of us are here for you and are heartbroken to hear of this tragic time for you.

Ready, I sincerely feel you. If you would like to talk, email me. I hope you feel better really soon.

I signed up over there, its a really great place I've found. They have so many different suggestions on hair products, I'm even a bit overwhelmed. I'm making my list however as we speak... :crying:
