Now that is a neat one!

I know a lot of us will be going out of town or won't be home for the holidays, so I want to wish you each a "Happy Thanksgiving". I will be going to my Brother's, but only for the day. If you are traveling, be careful, if you are staying home, don't work too hard. I want to say that on this day of thanks, each and everyone of you will be in my thoughts. You are all very special to me. Thanks for all the encouragement, the ideas, the laughter, and the caring each of you have given. Have a great holiday!

Welcome! Every doctor has their own rules. Some have liquid diets for 3 or 4 weeks, others no diet at all. I would follow exactly what your doctor said. Mine had me on liquids (not clear) day before and nothing after midnight. Good Luck!

Michelle - I was thinking about you today, wondering if you were feeling any better. I hope the Maloxx helps. Please keep us posted.

I just pm'd it to you!

What a great post Nancy. I was one of the fortunate people to meet you, and I am very happy I had the chance to. I was facinated with your work, and all of your volunteering (?) that you did also. Not only have you changed your life, but you make other peoples life better also. Thank you for sharing your story, I found it very touching.

ROFLMAO! Why in the world would I think that this would be a serious thread? I got my flu shot already, but mine was a different kind, I think I might have to try this one to see if it is any better

Penni - Greg is supposed to send us all a form to complete and send back to him with the info.

I agree Marie - I am cooking a TG dinner today! lol Just got my treadmill in for 35 minutes. Now, back to cooking!

O.K. I'll be there next Sunday!

Great news Greg!

Well said Leatha and Michelle! I am beginning to think that the posts we had lately are actually from people working for Lopez. I just smell a rat somewhere! I have to say if Lopez wants to do something, let him start with the people here on this board that have had problems. I wouldn't say he is too concerned about any rumors or he would call these people and get things cleared up with them first.

What is this run we are having about Lopez again???? Do we have more new people recuiting for him again?

Welcome to bandland William! We are getting quite a group from the metro-plex!

Good Luck with all your testing Patty! Welcome to the boards! If you browse through all the old and new threads, you will finds tons of valuable information. There is a lot of support here, and people are more than happy to help you with any questions. Please keep us posted on your progress.

I went up to Walmart this morning, I thought I would beat the crowd, I thought they would all go to the good stores for their specials. WRONG! You couldn't move, you couldn't get up and down an isle, people were rude and I couldn't stand it! I thought, where is the holiday mood? I can guarantee you it wasn't at Walmart today! I only had a couple of things in my basket, I almost put it back, but went to the check out and got through fairly fast since I could go into a speedy one. I left there and went to Sam's, which was almost empty, and I loved it! I decided then that the best thing I can do is go home! lol Anyway, I think I should extra exercise in just for fighting the crowds! Especially since they were so nasty!

Now Greg, how in the world did you get in the snack department? (Please, don't answer that one) Have fun in Vegas, and since you are going there, you can bring the money back to me!

What an accomplishment! You should be very proud!

Well, y'all were right, they all noticed. My sister-in-law said "You've got a waist", then she said she was jelous and she had to go on a diet so she could keep up with me! Everyone made a comment, told me how good I looked, it made me feel really great. The ones that don't know I had surgery ask me how I was losing so good, and I said exercise and South Beach way of eating. lol Just my immediate family knows that I had the surgery. I ate everything I wanted (and then some) and I was stuffed, but the band stuff, not like before when I was so miserable. I didn't feel at all drprived of any thing, if I wanted to eat it, I took a spoonful. I even ate bread for the first time, with crawfish fondue on top of it, a zillion calories, but very good!

What beautiful pictures Leatha! We had a great time too! Everyone noticed my weight loss and it really made me feel good. I ate more food than I planned on eating, but all in all didn't do too bad I guess. This was the first time we had a cajun Thanksgiving, and everything was so good.

Me too! I must say I enjoyed my dinner! My weight doesn't show for a few day either, I think I would prefer it show up right away instead of letting me think I got away with something!

Carmen - What an awsome job you have done. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

When they called me they said it was a really good book and was about 300 pages.

Thanks everyone! Teresa - He is 32 years old and a real sweetie.

I got a call too, saying it would be shipped last monday. I should be getting it soon if they did. I'll let you know. Thanks Michelle for warning us about the overcharge.
