Welcome to LBT and congrats on your date. Everyone is different, so it's hard to say if you will have loose skin. I'll say this though, I'll take some loose skin anyday over the fat!

Great job! Congrats on the w/l!

Good Luck tomorrow! Don't forget to come back and let us know how things went.

Welcome to LBT! I would make a call to the insurance so you know if you are covered or not.

Congrats to you!

Good luck! We'll see you in bandland! Don't forget to let us know how things went!

You are wide open, and until you get your fills going you will be able to eat more. Once you start getting fills, you'll see a big difference.

Welcome to LBT! I love your name! Good Luck to you and let us know when you get your date!

Good Morning Y'all! Awwww, thank y'all so much for all the B-day wishes. It's so nice to have such good friends! I had a wonderful B-day, our neighbors came over and we bbq'd, I ate too much and had a few too many to drink, but it was a great time. My dh made my whole weekend very special and you all just tripled it! Kat - You sure have a lot of patience! I think I would have just said I have made the plans already and if anyone wants to change them then they can be in charge! Sherry - Please watch those blisters, they can turn bad so quick. Take care of them! Gosh, I can't remember what anyone said now and I am on a new screen so I can't look back! Good Morning Eileen, Pat, Darcy, Mary, Patty, Beanie, Chrispy, Mandy, Cindy, Diane, and anyone else that I might have missed. You know as you get older the first thing that goes is the mind! Gotta run, it is almost time to leave and I'm not even dressed yet! Thanks again my friends!

Hello Y'all! Pat you look absolutely beautiful! I love your picture! Kat - Glad things went well with your dad, nothing worse than waiting and waiting and waiting. My Mom used to freeze all the time. You would go to her house and it would be 100 degrees and the stove oven was open and going with a blanket and a heating pad on her. I would sweat so bad while I was there! I guess they just freeze when they get older! Glad you gals all had such a wonderful time on your trip! Guess what????? I finally got to go riding today! Gosh it felt so good. We even went up to the Harely center to see if I could find something for my birthday which is tomorrow. I found some things, but not what I wanted and ended up not getting anything! They had some t-shirts there that was really pretty, I went looking for them and couldn't find anymore. Well, I started looking at them a little closer and they were $175 dollars! I almost died! Nothing special, just a name I guess! Well, I have to run and get things going, the neighbors are coming over to Celebrate my b-day. Hope y'all have a great day!

Hello Y'all! Sorry I have been MIA so much, just have been extremely busy. I don't seem to have enough hours in the day anymore. The poison ivy is much better, but not completely all gone yet and still have some itching. I will survive it though!:whoo: Kat - I am so sorry to hear about your friend, but much more worried about you with your mouth and all the problems you have had lately. My heart goes out to you. I think you have had your share of problems this year and I know you are ready for a much better year a head. How did your dad do? My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. Patty - I am glad you ex came and helped you out! He must be nice to come out and help like that. Eileen - Hey lady! Good to see you here more often. Sherry and Chrispy - I hope you have a great time on your vacation. Yes, I have done a lot of the charity rides in the past. They are getting bigger and bigger here, and it makes it a little scary when you get a bunch together (and I am talking hundreds here) and so many don't know how to ride or when to stop. We have had people run inot others here just because they don't know how to handle their bikes. So, the last year we kind of stayed out of them for that reason, but we still like them. I still haven't rode this year, I was going on Saturday, had it all planned and then when I got home from the store my DH told me the neighbors ask us over to Celebrate the graduation of his son's g-friend, so we went over there instead. Hopefully next weekend I can get out on my bike for at least once this year! Mary - It is good to see you here again! Darcy - How is the house coming? Have you finished moving everything yet? Cindy - You need to stop and smell the roses. Take a few days of me time and enjoy it instead of working all the time. Well, I know I probably missed a bunch of you, but I need to get supper on the stove and get moving before I decide not to do anything. It was a long day and I am tired. Catch you all later! Please know that even if I don't post I am thinking about all of you and most of the time at least reading stuff. Hugs!

Good Morning Y'all! Happy B-lated Birthday Patty! I too didn't make it here for it! We had a 50th birthday party to attend and I ate so much that I am still hurting today! I don't know why I was so dumb! They had it at Morton's steak house and it was so good! The deserts were to die for too! Of course the steak just melted in your mouth too! The vacation is finally over and back to work tomorrow! I am not ready to go back yet, seems like I spent the majority of my time with the poison ivy. We had planned to go riding and swimming a lot and didn't get to ride at all. I did swim a couple of times. I did get a lot of housework done though! I have to get the rest of the laundry done and some more cleaning today and get my mind set back into going back. I hope I don't oversleep in the morning, I have been sleeping in some as I didn't get much sleep during the night with all the itching. I'll try to catch up with everyone later, I have read most of it, just can't remember it all right now! Have a great day, I'll check back later!

Welcome to bandland! Glad things went so smoothly for you!

Welcome to LBT Maxine! It's only natural to feel all kinds of emotions before surgery. Try to read everything you can about it before your surgery. It made me feel so much better knowing more ahead of time.

Whooo Hooo! Congrats to you!

Yogurt goes down a little slower because of the thickness. I eat it a lot, but it does go down slowly for me too.

Welcome to LBT! I think it's great that you are doing things to improve you health. Good Luck to you!

Welcome to bandland!

I have a bad time with splenda too, and I use stevia as my sweetner too. If I can't get the stevia I just use regular sugar in it's space. The calories are that bad considering the bad reactions I get from the splenda.

Good Afternnon Y'all! It is storming at my house right now, thunder, lightening and rain. We need it so I won't compalin. The poison ivy is still pretty bad, but better than the first few days. My eye almost swelled shut, but it open now, but the itching is driving me nuts at times. My arms and legs are full of it too. I learned my lesson about pulling weeds and not paying attention. The predisone (?) is making me gain weight which really makes me mad! But, I have to take it. Hopefully it will be over soon. He said it might take 3 wks to clear all up. We had a nice weekend so far, we had a party here at the house on Friday, and the neighbors had one yesterday. It has been nice to sit and visit for a while with them. Later!

Welcome to LBT! You'll find lots of support here, just join right in!
