Oh the misery of being thin....noises. Just one more reason to keep my tummy, LOL, (not to mention I'm chicken for the tummy tuck).

Is that Ice Cream or I scream, dm Sonic, there goes the neighborhood. Check out the Sonic website, it's so depressing to see the nutritional value, or lack there of, in writing.

Yikes, my mother turned 75 today, (she's a fellow bander, I might add), I feel so blessed she has her health. Hopefully, your "friends" know you well enough to know she's not well and IF they're your true friends, they will not judge you. Hugs

I'm a righty, just below the bottom rib.

I put strawberries, bananas, and blueberries in my Vodaka and OJ smoothie, (I try to drink healthy), and have never had any issues. Although, I usually use the Magic Bullet to make the smoothie.

That's what I call taking control of a situation, one of which controlled you (us) in the past, that's what led to the band in the first place, WTG! Gee, if we could all use that self control when the gain is 4 lbs instead of 40. Hugs!

Vodka, nor the orange juice cause me any problems. I try to drink healthy, I always add 1/2 a banana and a few strawberries.

OMG, y'all have me blushing, thanks ever so much for all the compliments. Ya did see how the shirt was pulling in the middle, WTF! Speaking of which, Eileenie, come back in, it's safe. I got the ugly, toothless guy today too, but my puter seems to be ok now, I deleted all my Cookies. (For some reason that just sounds dirty). Paula, are all those youngins yours? Oh yeah, did ya happen to notice the sagging cheeks and the new lines, I don't know what's worse, looking older, or having all those wrinkles filled in with fat. :faint:

I so agree with Vera, keep in mind, the band is a tool to assist in the weight loss. It will not do all the work, the bottom line is you have to make good choices. Don't take me wrong, I don't always make the best choices either, but fortunately, my band-(tool) does help. It is amazing the junk goes down way too easily, (stay away from the cheese puffs), but as for me, I would probably be 50 lbs heavier than preband if I hadn't done something. Reading all these responses has made me appreciate my band even more. I knew from the start RNY was not a choice for me and the weight and it would be a much slower process, but when I compare my health compared to those with RNY, I know I made the right decision for ME.

Here's another, looks like hurricane force winds storm2.BMP

A few storm pictures for ya..see the little lights along the pier, they were eventually covered, and no longer work, hummmmm, wonder why, LOL. storm1.BMP

Love the pictures, but I have to confess, I'm not a pet owner, IMO, just one more thing to have to pick up and clean up after, OK, I'm lazy. But, after raising two sons, whose pet list included; two Boa's, one almost 7' long, 2 other kinds of hissing snakes, one of which escaped and I later found while alone in the BATHROOM, :omg: . There were rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, ferrets, birds and huge fish, so needless to say, I've pulled my time and I'm done. Don't get me wrong, I do like to look at the pictures, but that's as far as it goes around here, LOL.

Congratulations Kellie! You know you're gonna have to start a special pic album thread... Kellie's Wedding Album, can't wait.

I'll be thinking about ya..... BIG HUGS!

Very interesting, I'll be checking @ WMart for the b-12 sublingual type.

Steve will always be remembered for his love of life and love of animals. Of course, with his death, they had to show the time he held his baby over the crocks head, what's the point? More important, now that 2yr old is without a daddy. How tragic and sad.

I take the B12 tablets, 2 every nite at bedtime. I seem to sleep better and have better focus, maybe just an illusion.

I just read the bottom of your last post, I'm so glad that even with the complications you finally received your new band. Big Hugs!

Betty, I saw two threads, one marked "Weird", the other had something to do with "hacked". If you type in Hacked in search it should pop up. I scared to go there, LOL.

WooHoo! Keep doing what ever you're doing, cause it sure seems to be working.

Hey gang, just got an urgent email from Eileenie, she went to a weird thread in the food section and it hacked her computer and now she can't get back on LBT???? She asked me to notify a mod to tell them there's a problem, so Betty, just to let you know there may be a virus, per Eileen. I'm not going to go to her last post for fear of getting locked out. Will be back later for personals..hugs! Edited to say: If you check new posts, you'll see one thread that says weird, just place your curser over the title to get a glimpse of the problem, the other says something about "hacker". I'm not going there, I chicken.

LMAO, when I read the thread title, I thought, OMG, here we go again, thanks for the relief from all the BS. Isn't it great we have the option to read or NOT to read.

Just in case you missed the NJ Pic thread, hehehe We're going through the storm from hell, we've lost 6 trees, I'll attach some pics in a bit, my glass blew out of my patio table, shattered everywhere, my entire pier is covered in Water..more pics, one of our boats has floated off the lift and is hanging on now by a rope, my pool is running over, but at least the potted flowers didn't end up in side the pool. Later girlies TG, I've still got cable and phone, who needs electricity, LOL.

I have a picture .....isn't he a cutie

Darcy, thank you so much for putting into words exactly how I feel! Especially, "Lisa... girl... there was a time that I really thought you were a kick... funny... witty... smart and so on. When I saw how nasty... relentless... and mean you could be when provoked... it really scared the crap out of me. You know... abusive men use the same tactics... "You made me lose my temper"... "Why did you go on and provoke me like that"... "You know I didn't mean it... I just get a little CRAZY sometimes". You are charming... I'll give you that... and I imagine you would do anything for the people you love... however... God help the people you hate. It wasn't worth being your friend to take the risk that one day I could suffer your wrath" I too have sat on the side lines in shock and awe with the many personalities of Lisa, assuming there were medical reasons for her outburst, and for the "fear" of retaliation, I never posted what I really felt. Paula, I love you to death, but I never, ever, read anything that New Hope posted that was evil or twisted, but we are all entitled to our opinions....(still love ya), hugs! Telly, I enjoy reading your posts, but unless you go back, wayyyyy back, I don't think it's fair for you to judge one way or the other, the issues involving New Hope. I still miss her motherly posts on LBT. Truly, no ugliness intended, just my honest opinion. Leatha, we do go wayyyy back, as always, I do respect your opinion and your philosophy . I'm glad those who are interested are afforded the opportunity to visit, again, you have the same choice NOT to visit, in the new Rant N Rave section. By the way, Alex, I still appreciate the opportunity to be a member of LBT
