rhonda - i'm so jealous you can eat salad! lol. i want one so badly. i can't even have lettuce on a sandwich or wrap... but yet i CAN eat bread. how annoying. i can't eat bananas either. bah! my dog is good. mom brought him home today - final bill was $1055. so glad my mom loves me and the dog! haha! if it weren't for her i have no idea what i'd have done. i absolutely couldn't afford to do any of that for him. more boy drama in my life. the guy i've liked (loved?) for over 2 years read my myspace blog today... i'd written last night about how i'm single and unavailable due to fear of commitment and blah blah blah. i wrote something about how I had someone in mind but how it'd never work. he wants to know WHO i was talking about. duh. HIM. Ugh. i didn't say anything though - just that i want to go crawl in a hole. now he wants me to come over tonight. haven't seen him in like 3 or more weeks... we'll see how it goes.

Thanks Stef. My doggie is doing pretty great! My mom gets to bring him home tomorrow, she is very excited. She has to give him antibiotics everyday fro a couple weeks, and monitor his urine output for a while, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. Now we really just have to wait a week or so to find out the final results of his histology reports to see if any of the mass from his bladder was cancerous or not. The Vet doesn'tthink it is cancer though, so thats great news. I'll have to find a pic and post it here for ya'll, he's gorgeous. :eek:

Lol. How'd I miss that one?!

That was an awesome post BG! Happy Birthday! And JC, clearly our lil mis-spelled thread IS catching on... I was at the grocery store tonight and saw this: Then I got home to google for that pic and found these: Anyway. Hope everyone is doing good...

Big hugs Rhonda!! I'm so sorry for your loss!!! I know that the stress from my dog being sick made my band very tight and I had about 2 days where I ate (drank) only protein shakes, and they were slow going. Hang in there, and take it easy! Stef, I LOVE the freak in you!
-
Lol Stef. You should get paid for advertisment!
-
OMG! THat magazine cover is too funny!! I love it!

Rhonda - Asher lives with my mom about 85 miles away from me. I feel bad that I haven't been able to go see him at the Vets... kinda like visiting a sick famiy memeber at the hospital. Lol. But soon enough he'll be back to his old self and I'll take him for a LONG walk! :confused: I could never walk him for very long before, cause I was fat(ter) and lazy. Haha!

Thanks for thinking of my doggie! He's doing really good. They iniatially thought it was either a raging UTI or kidney failure, then by Saturday evening they thought he might have bladder or prostate cancer. I was so upset that my band tightened up and I was basically all liquids all weekend long! (didn't lose anything though!) So anyway, Asher had surgery yesterday morning. The Vet said the only way to really tell what the masses in his abdomen were would be to open him up. So anyway, she got in there and cut out a huge mass from his bladder. And then he also had several 'crystals' (beginings of stones) that had infected the lining of his bladder. So she cut those out. She did say that there is a place in the back of the bladder that is too far back in the pelvic canal that she couldn't get to, so not all of the mass was removed. She didn't see any cancer cells in the samples she inspected, but it sending the specimans off to a path lab to be looked at more closely. Better safe than sorry, especially since some of the mass remains in his bladder. Today he is doing good. Mom says that he is eating and drinking, they've removed the IV fluids and the catheter, and he PEED today for the first time in several days (the catheter was just draining his bladder for him, so it is an awesome thing that he can pee again!) Hopefully he'll get to come home either tomorrow or Thursday, just depends on how he does. Mom has cleaned out the little room of her garage and placed a couple old blankets in a kiddie pool for him. We've got another round of snowy cold crap here and she wants him to be warmer and more protected from the elements while he is still healing from his surgery. I'm so blessed with a great mom! She is footing the entire bill for his care, which is at about $1500 now. As for ME, even though my band was tight from stress all weekend, I still went in for a little tweek fill on Monday afternoon. Got 0.5cc added, which I think puts me at either 7 or 8 (can't remember if I was at 6.5 or 7.5 from before) and today I feel fine. Liquids go down well. I'm supposed to be on liquids, but ate a few potato chips this afternoon at work before I remembered. Lol! They went down fine anyway. Ooopsie. We'll see how it goes, I might be calling for another one in a few weeks if the weight doesn't start falling off! I've been stalled, and now have gained about 5 pounds from what my ticker says. I refuse to change it though. Haha. Hope you all are doing well.

BG & J - you both look so fabulous!!! Sexy Sexy! I hate football too... didn't help that I was at some friends house watching it on their effing big screen - and they were ALLLLLLLL cheering for the friggin Giants. Boo.

Well, thank goodness I can still drown my sorrows in a huge vat of ice cream... My mom called me tonight and said that my dog is at the animal hospital. He is on IV fluids and antibiotics... if he makes it through the weekend he'll be on oral antibiotics for a few more weeks... worse case senerio - his raging urinary tract infection is really kidney failure and he'll need to be put to sleep, probably as early as Monday... I'm completely devistated. I love this stupid dog. I got him 9 years ago (rat terrier/border collie mix) and my mom has basically taken care of him for me for the past 8 years. (gotta love mom!) I think she is more upset than I am. He is such a smart and loving dog. :biggrin: Ok... Ice cream is gone. I'm just going to go to bed and hope he gets better before Monday! Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers! (His name is Asher, but I call him "Ashipoo" or "Poopoo Puppy")

Stef!! I missed the whole psycho neighbor thing this morning. Wow. How did he attack you? LIke,was he trying to rape you, beat you,mug you... etc? Thats just awful. Thank God you go to the gym and are all buff and super strong now. Who knows what could have happened a year ago! Be careful! check this out: Polycystic ovary syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia My doc does think that the weightloss will reverse my PCOS... and my insulin resistance. For the first time in a LONG time I'm actually starting to think that I might be able to have kids someday. Lol. I'd just given up hope - like when I Was about 18. Lol.
-
Thanks for bumming me out! Lol. I told a friend of mine last night taht if I was going to have to go through this every month that it wasn't worth losing weight. Haha. OK, maybe that would be a bit of a stretch... but seriously? I've had maybe a dozen periods in my WHOLE LIFE, and I started when I was 12 years old! I might be talkin to my general practitioner about the Pill... and taking it to where it blocks your cycle. Lol. I don't have time for this womanly crap!:party:
-
Super Congrats!!! THats so amazing!! I can't WAIT until I get to 100 gone!
-
Stef - LAY OFF THE AMBIEN! Lol. Seriously, girl, be careful! You could get choked sleepeating...or maybe aspirate while PBing and you could seriously injure yourself or die. I'm worried for you. :party: I know, I'm a nurse and a worrywart, its a bad combo. OK. So, my band is a fickle lil biotch. The other day I could eat pizza and about anything else I could shovel in. And the past couple days I get stuck easily... and today I slime on my protein shake this morning... at lunch I only ate about 4 small bites of veggie chili... and dinner was about 1/4 cup of left over pasta from the other day - which I got stuck and slimed for about an hour on. So here is my question, might be TMI, but I'll talk about anything... I'm on my period. Would that affect my band at all? Maybe I should know this, but I have no clue. This is my first period in 18 months. (Yay PCOS!) So yeah, I'm wondering if you all notice restriction changes during your periods? Maybe I'm just grasping at straws here, Lol. I think I am going to still go to my fill appt on Monday afternoon... I'll get an 'official' weight and talk to the NP about this stuff. She'll be excited I'm menstrating anyway. She's not heard of anyone to not have a period for so long, and here I thought it was common for obese women to not menstrate, especially women with PCOS. ?? Not that I care, I'd prefer to never have a periord - ever ever ever again. Lol. Oy.

Glad it wasn't a slip Missy!!!!

OK BG - I have another book for you! [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Nonrunners-Marathon-Guide-Women-Training/dp/1580052053]Amazon.com: The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training: Books: Dawn Dais[/ame] I just finished it and it was hilarious!! I don't know if I want to run more now, or less! Lol. But it has a cool training schedule for both a 1/2 marathon and a full one. Its just a really funny book. Made me laugh out loud more often than not. As soon as it gets warmer out (friggin negative windchills and snow here still!) I'm totally going to TRY to follow the 1/2 marathon training schedule, even though I'm not sure I'd ever do an actual marathon, 1/2 or full.

As far as customer reveiws - you always have to consider the source. I mean, I love my BB, but there are plenty of people who don't like it. You just have to try something for yourself. :frown:

you might be too tight... try taking SMALLER bites... and chewing until your bite becomes nothing but mushy liquid in your mouth.

Why do I keep doing this to myself?????
Suzzzie. replied to blahblahblah's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
i'm liquids only i the morning. And bananas are a huge no-no for me... no matter what time of day! -
Thanks for the lil pep talk. Yes, nuts and alcohol. Lol My mom leaves today... after a lunch of pasta. Lol. I might just go with soup... we'll see. My belly hurts from the greasey fries last night. Yuck!! Hopefully I can get myself back on track before my fill on Monday. Ugh. :rolleyes2:
-
A blackberry huh? thats awesome! Good luck!! And yes, it's the sadist that inflicts... an dthe massochist (sp?) that loves it. :rolleyes2: I'm shocked you don't know that! hhahaa!
-
Ummm... Dinner with my mom tonight - my mother who doesn't know I have the band. Lol. I ate about 7 french fries and 2 fried mushrooms and had to go to the bathroom (to PB) Poor mommy. Lol. She thinks her baby is sickly. Lol. I feel like I should tell her, I just have no idea HOW to tell her now? It's been 7 1/2 months! ANYWAY... Yeah, so chocolate truffles are evil. Don't ever eat one. (or one box... whatever.)

OMG... who did that? I bet it was Alex. Bummer. I liked it the other way. And i mean... if you're gonna fix something... at least really FIX it. haha!
