I haven't had bread, and potatoes of any kind is a no no, my band does not like potoatoes period.

Don't have that problem here, I'm on first name basis with the entire staff. Sure makes a difference to have friendly, helpful staff.

Sounds like he's jealous to me, not just of the money you spent on yourself, (OMG, the shame and sin of you, what in the world were you thinking), but of the fact you have lost 35 pounds and you're probably starting to feel pretty darn good about yourself, regardless of what he thinks. YOU GO GIRL, tell him to kiss your getting smaller every day butt. I'm blessed my DH never even asked what it cost until a golf buddy, who is a little on the chunky side, inquired. I just smiled and told him he coulda bought another Harley, but he got a thinner me instead. My DH tells me every day, loss or no loss, "you're just wasting away honey". He's never had a problem with weight and he knows I've battled it our entire marriage. Enjoy the new you, he'll get over it.

Congratulations and welcome to lapband life.

I was at 38, had a touch of high cholesterol and the cash......twas no problem not being 40. Also, my doctor is great and very conscientious and my insurance doesn't cover any kind of wls.

I bought one of those Magic Bullets and make my own smoothies, but I keep forgetting and adding Vodka instead of protein.

You go girl! I'm sure your family was very proud of you for participating and not hanging out on the side lines. Reminds me of when I was in Jamaca and the waterfalls, I crept along the sidewalk while the DH and kids climbed the falls. Proud of ya.

IMO, too much of a fill is worse than not enough restriction. It's unhealthy and your weight loss slows, because your body is holding onto every thing you put in, because it's so little. I put up with being too tight for a month and finally went back and he a bit taken out, OMG, what a relief that was and is. That was over a month ago, and I have no desire for a fill any time soon. I have the small band too, 4cc. Don't try to be a hero if it's too tight, get a little taken out so you can eat properly.

Did you hear about the guy that got struck by lightning last week here in VA, talk about a freak accident. He and his motorcycle were burned. They showed pictures of the bike, totally fried. They said the guy never knew what hit him.

Sorry about the leak, I wish you a speedy recovery.

As for the cheating theory, "oh wahhhhhhhh!"

Of course you should!

Ok Jane, I give, what's a roof alarm?

I have a fence with gates that auto close and lock, takes two hands to open the lock and the gate, plus, like Michelle, I have beepers when ever a door in my house opens. It's been quite a concern this year since my 19 month old gson is mighty quick. Oh yes, they just gave a good tip on the news, be sure to keep toys out of the pool when not in use.

Sounds like a stressful week. Sorry to hear about your FL. It will get better, hang in there.

Oh my, I remember those days, having to go in long enough to do payroll. Happened with my youngest son, got out just in time to get the payroll done, LOL. Good luck on your weight loss journey

Sorry to hear about the bad luck, how about flipper?

After you put the salsa on the eggs and cheese, don't forget the f/f sour cream.

Ohhh, well anyway, I'm happy for you.

I was my doctor's 1st, yep 1st. There was a proctor flown in to assist, I'm still kicking.

Is this the one you're in Michelle?

I like the short skort, looks good on those tanned legs, and look at that chest, you sexy thang.

Congratulations, I wish you the best.

I wish you luck on your band journey. Don't over do it.

None here, but I think you really have to get those fluids in/down. My mother has a hard time drinking her water, she should probably consider some Gatoraide.
