I'm at 2.8, but I think I am about ready for a tiny bit more. I can eat way too much again.

Welcome to LBT! I can't speak anything but English!

Anyone have negative reaction from a tetanus shot?!?
Iluvharleys replied to sarahv's topic in The Lounge
I have such bad reactions to it that my doctor told me not to have them anymore. My arm got so swollen up and red, I ran a fever, and got extremely sick. No more for me! -
I was fine all by myself, but I didn't have a child. I got up and got the things I needed though. You DH will be able to handle it I am sure, you'll be wanting to do a little sleeping right after surgery. Good Luck!

Welcome to bandland! My surgeon's office does all my fills, however they do use the doctors training with him at times.

You will fit just fine, when boarding the plane ask for the extender then, that way you won't have to ask in front of everyone else. Enjoy yourself, and don't let something like that spoil your trip. :eekB:

My heart goes out to you.:eekB: Please let us know more about your problem, and was this all band related. I for one would love for you to keep posting with us and let us know how you are doing. I'll keep you in my prayers. Hugs!

Welcome to bandland!:eek: :eek: Glad to hear things went so well for you! Walking is the best thing you can do! -
Awwww, Trich, my heart goes out to you. I would definately get a second opinion if I was you. Please go with your gut feeling, it usually is the right one every time. Keep us posted!

Good Morning, Just popping in to say hello, hopefully later today I can sit down and read some of the posts and answer you each. I have just been busting my bunns on all this work, and it is really starting to get to me. I am going to try to get most of my house work done today so maybe I can have some time to myself tomorrow. We'll see, I already have the floors mopped and swept, and one load of laundry done so I am on my way. lol Count me in on the binge eating, I have been eating things I haven't eaten in over a year, I can't figure out why, I guess I just have the head deamon coming out. You name it, and I have been eating it! Of course I have done zero exercising too, which makes it double bad! Well, I am going to get busy and finish some work up, then run to the bank so I can pay some bills! Oh yeah, I think we have a guy coming to look at the motor on the pool, maybe we can get it up and going again! We finally got all the parts for it yesterday!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Catch ya all later!

I agree, what a great NSV! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Welcome to bandland, it really does get better each day!

It depends on the doctor himself. I was self pay, so I didn't have to go though all the pre-testing. It's usually the insurance companies that require the additional testing. I had to have updated blood tests though. I also had to make sure my yearly girly testing was up to date too. Good Luck!

To the ones that have lost 80-100lbs or more
Iluvharleys replied to JJinLA's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have a lot of loose skin, and would love to have my arms, legs, TT, and breast done. I don't know that I will, but would love to. -
I used the Carnation Instant Breakfast too, the chocolate can be made up hot or cold and tastes pretty good. They can also be made up in smoothies.

Hey Y'all! Sorry I was so down on Sunday, but I had just had my fill of things I guess. I was tired and on top of all that my Aunt (the one I went to visit this summer) that was so sick is just a little bit better. She is starting to eat again, and she is in rehab, but has to learn to walk since she has been down for 8 months. Well, this weekend her DH had to be rush to the hospital for emergency surgery on his colon. Then her sister my other Aunt fell and broke her hip and had surgery this weekend. I also have an Aunt in the nursing home up north that isn't doing very good! Needless to say, I felt like I was losing my whole family! Hopefully things will start looking up again soon. Just too much bad news all at once. Darcy girl! Welcome back! I figured you were working in the yard or on quilts! I am very proud of you for not smoking, I won't throw anything at your if you start again, but I can honestly say it won't help you to start up again, just make you feel worse. So, just hold out and things will be better. You know they have so many new things out now that can help you. Mary - You are doing the right thing, going for custody is the best thing you can do right now. I am so proud of you for learning how to mow and edge. Now, do something special for yourself like a nice hot bubble bath! Don't be so worried about the court stuff, I am sure they will see right through him, especially since he hasn't even tried to see the kids. Beanie - Congrats on losing the puffiness, now I need to join you. I have been eating everything in sight, and especially things I shouldn't be eating at all. Heck, I'm not even a sweet eater and I have been eating all kinds of stuff. They eat like heck at this new job, cakes all the time, there are so many people and every b'day is cake etc. I have been eating a lot of ice cream too. The scale hasn't moved up, but I can actually feel the difference in my clothes! Boooooo hoooooooo! Cindy - Yes, those slips are expensive, that is why I am going to make him get rid of it. We are at Joe Pool lake on the Marina side, not the State park. It is really nice, but we don't use it, so it's time to lose it! Work is going good, it was really busy today. I am getting to know a lot of the people and they are nice. They love to eat too much though! Anne - It's so nice to have them home, but I was always ready to have them go back. They get bored too easy and when you are used to being alone, it can be hard. How old are your kids? They are so adorable. Sherry - You must be out riding! Enjoy, it is so fun! Eileen - What's up lady? How was your day? You'll have to tell us all about the food you fix for the whole week, I could use some ideas. I'll say one thing, when I smoke some meat up and make up a bunch of salads, it is a god send. Pat - How is DS hand doing? Hopefully he isn't too sore! I have been meaning to ask you how your DM is doing with her band? You need to post a picture of her for us. Do you look like her? Paula - I can't tell too much from the fern you had posted, but it should come back for you. There are so many ferns, and I don't know them all by names, but some you can divide and make more, and some you just leave alone. Kat - Hope you are doing great, let us know when you can. Do any of you watch Prison Break? Boy, do I love that show. It seems like it just starts though and it's over with! Well I am going to get off here and get some rest. Catch you all later.

Good Morning Y'all! Well, I finally got to go riding yesterday, made me feel like a new person that just had a nice vacation! :) Cindy - I am so sorry about your DFIL, my thoughts are with you. You certainly have had your share of heartaches lately. I'll keep him and your family in my prayers.:party: Sherry - How far have you went on your bike so far? Does your DH ride too? Has he got a bike? Pat - I am jelous, fishing! I love to fish, we even have a boat at the lake, but just don't get down there much anymore. I told DH if he didn't use it last year I was just going to sell it. Well, we used it 2 times, not enough to pay for the slip and the fishing license. I think I am going to talk him into selling it. Glad DS is o.k. and I'm glad he got to see his son. It's hard for anyone to go through all that without all the fighting and destroying things. Patty - Glad you had such a good time! Well, did DH notice the flowers? It's always nice to do thngs for yourself. Paula - Actually I haven't seen your flower questions, I guess I missed them. Our pool isn't quite warm enough yet to go swimming, and since the problems with the pump and all, I guess it will be a few more weeks. Enjoy your time in the pool, I can't wait to get back into mine, seems like it is the only exercise I really enjoy getting anymore. Beanie - How was the fair? Hope you had a good time and relaxed a bit too! Eileen - What all do you make with the tuna? I see you use a lot of it, just wondering what you make. I hope it stopped raining for you! Yikes, just looked at the clock and I need to be on the road. Y'all have a wonderful day! Later!

Good Morning Y'all! Sorry I haven't been here much, it's just been pretty hectic lately for me. Yesterday I thought it would be a nice easy relaxing day. I planned on going to one store and then the bank and home, then for a nice long ride. Well, it didn't work out like that at all, I ended up going to 3 stores, then got stuck in a funeral on the way to the bank, then noticed my car's inspection was expired and had been for a month! Well, in Texas you just don't ride around with an expired sticker! So, up to get the state inspection done. Then the motor went out on the pool, so I ordered one of those last week, got it yesterday only to have it bent and broken up, called and they are going to replace it but DH broke something else trying to get the old one off, so off to find that part! I ended up ordering it on line after going to several places that didn't have it. Then we were supposed to go to a grand opening for one of the neighbors Mother's place at 3:00 so in the shower I went and then off to the grand opening. It was a really cool place and they had a lot of wonderful stuff. We got a really neat frame that has a harley on it, and a horse that is done up in like a harley. It is really cute. Anyway, got back home about 8:00, tired and no harley ride! Hopefully today I can go for a short one, today is laundry and cleaning day, but I also have to get my contract work done. I have let it go most of the week like a dumb-a$$! Sherry - congrats on the license! Yes, you will get over some of it, but you will always be a little nervous about it. People in cars just don't look out for motorcycles. The old saying is "When you let your guard down, that is when things happen". Any time you are too confident, you'll be sorry. So, it is a good thing you are a little nervous. It does get easier with seat time. Have fun and don't forget to take some pictures of you on it for us! Pat - Sorry I missed your call yesterday, hope we get to talk soon! Kelly - Hope you get things worked out, visit when you can. Eileen - Hope the headache is better today. Beanie - It's too bad that we are so busy! I feel like I am missing something not being here everyday. I got so use to being home and being on all day long to not being on much at all, and I don't much like it! You sound like you love shopping as much as me, now if I only had all the money I wanted to shop with! :) Kat - Good luck, and keep us posted! Cindy - Morning sunshine! Darcy - Where are you girl? Donna - How is the new job going? Do you like it? Dianne - Hello! It sounds like you are doing great! Well, I know I missed some, but if I intend on getting anything done at all today I have to get busy. I really do want to get on my Harley and go for a ride, today will be perfect for it weather wise. Catch you all later! I love and miss you all when I'm not here! Hugs!

I totally agree with this and would have said the same thing myself. Let's face it, a lot of times we say things we wish we hadn't said and I think we have the right to delete what we said. The part I don't agree with is deleting a whole long valuable thread. If you want to take out the portion that involves yourself, then contact one of the moderators and let them remove only what you said. We lost a lot of valuable information in the last week, that could have been avoided. Please, if you are upset with a thread that you started, contact one of us and let's talk about it before you delete it.

ROFLMAO! Lisa, you are the only person I know that can get in trouble when you aren't even here!:confused: :)

Mornin Y'all! Boy, it's hot! 101 degrees yesterday, and more of the same today! Thank goodness for good old air conditioning. Alot of places didn't have electric though, and I sure felt sorry for them! Dianne - That is so funny about the canoe trip. Glad to see you here, and glad that you had such a fun day! Congrats on that 60 pound loss too! Cindy and Beanie - Did you lose your electric? Well, can't talk with ya anymore, got to press my blouse and get my butt dressed! I sure would like to stay home today! Later!

Good Morning! We had a great time at the neighbors, went swimming, sat in the hot spa, and ate way too much. I am not even going to weigh in this morning, I know by the clothes I am wearing that I gained some! Needless to say this morning I am watching what I eat again! :) I could also use a few more hours of sleep! My roses bloomed just in time for the party on Saturday, so I had roses everywhere. They were just beautiful. My Iris's bloomed, and so did all my red daylilies. Gosh, the yard looked like it was full of spring. I loved it! I tried to eat some pineapple and the first bite I took it kinda slid down and poof...got stuck. I thought it was gonna come back up but it didn't...it just hurt for about 20 minutes as I paced the floor. See thats what I get for "trying" to eat healthy haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I can't eat pineapple either, gets stuck everytime. I have to be careful with all kinds of fruit for some reason. I can eat chips/meat/ etc. but something simple like fruit and bang it stops me. If I take it really slow and chew really well, I can eat some fruit. I am a fruit lover, so it makes me mad! Sherry - Hang in there, I think we most of us that have brothers/sisters have at one time gone through what you are experiencing. It's not fun, it makes us mad, but for some reason we all come out a better person for it. Maybe we just don't want to turn out like them. I don't think most of what I fixed for the party was exactly band friendly, some things were and some was just downright fattening, bad for ya food! :) You know the good stuff!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Pat - I can't do a trip this year, just getting back to work and all. Maybe next year! I would love to meet y'all though, I have become to love and care about everyone! Well, I don't have time to address the rest of ya, I spent too much time messing around getting dressed this morning. I gotta hit the road and try to survive the day. I am tired this morning, I think the whole weekend has caught up with me. I got more stuff from the contract company yesterday too, so back to evening work for me again for a while. Later!

Happy Easter Y'all! Deann - Hope your DF is going better! Thoughs and prayers are with you at this time.:eek:
