Suzzzie.

Boo... I can't get in until NEXT FLIPPIN MONDAY! Maybe I should just steal some needles and saline from work and do it myself?? Haha. I only want 1/2 cc!!! (FYI: I'd never do this. I'm still too fat to feel my port.)

Back on track? Me?? Last night I was a freaking bottomless pit. I totally binged on crap like oreos, snickers, pretzels, and I ate 3 Boca Chicken patties. WTF yo? I felt 'full' like old fashioned-preband 'full' but it couldn't stop me like a good "OMG, I have lapband and if i eat another bite I will PB everywhere" will stop me. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK. I just called WTLSC for a fill, had to leave a msg.. I hope they call me back soon! HOPEFULLY I can get in tomorrow!!!

South Park and Family Guy!! I LOVEEEE Family Guy the mostest though! So... last night I was a freaking bottomless pit. I totally binged on crap like oreos, snickers, pretzels, and I ate 3 Boca Chicken patties. WTF yo? I felt 'full' like old fashioned-preband 'full' but it couldn't stop me like a good "OMG, I have lapband and if i eat another bite I will PB everywhere" will stop me. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK. I'm calling for a fill. HOPEFULLY I can get in tomorrow!!!

THanks! You're doing pretty darn good yourself!

Lol. Well thanks for the support ya'll.

When you sign in, at the top of the page click the "my account" button. There should be a lost of your subscribed threads. CLick on one of them. At the top left of the very first post in that thread is a button that says "Veiw First Unread" Click that and it will magically take you to the first new post. :eek: This is the way I've always done it - was there an easier way before that i never knew of?! /

STOP USING THE BB?! Are you crazy!?! Lol. I never take it off, other than to shower. Haha. I have a permanent indention on my arm. My famiy all make fun of me. I noticed one day Target has this credit card sized thing that you carry in your back pocket or wherever and it allegedly measures your calories burned and steps taken. It's like $10 or so. Not sure how well it works... I thought about getting one just to see how they compare... for those times when I would like to take the BB off - like with a shorter sleeve top or when I'm on a date. Lol. OK. I just watched the lil vid on the bio trainer - but I don't get how it works? I know the BB has all these censors and stuff... Can you explain please? Also - just FYI - You can get the BB from 24 Hour Fitness: 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs for usually about $100 less than the actual BB site.

Oh Missy!! I hope it's not slipped!!! That would be aweful! As for *me* I've been finding I can eat things like thick crust pizza... so I think it's time for a tiny adjustment! I'm scared to get too tight, so maybe just 1/2 cc... I'll call tomorrow morning to see when I can get in for a fill. I'm hoping for Tuesday afternoon. Lol. I have to meet an out-of-town friend for Indian food at lunch tomorrow, then dinner with my mom tomorrow evening... and lunch with mom at her fave Italian place on Tuesday... so yeah, by Tuesday afternoon I'll be ready to be tightened up! Nicer weather is finally starting to come around, I think it's going to be in the 50s today, high tomorrow should be 56. I'm very excited about this! I placed an ad on Craigslist last night for a walking partner in my area... we'll see how many crazies that draws out! ha! Really hoping to find at least one 'normal' person that lives near me to go walking with. We shall see... I was again looking at bikes online last night. Totally think I'm going to go with a nice cheap one for starters... and if by the end of the summer I still like it I will go in and get a *better* bike. What are some of you're fitness plans for the spring/summer?? (everyone/anyone!)

Lol. Thats the whole point - BALANCE and strengthen your core muscles. Try, try again!!

never heard of the bio trainer - but I have a bugg and i love it.

everyone has been kinda quiet lately... or at least it seems that way to me.

Thanks for the comments on my pics. Having a 'fat' day today, so ya'll make a girl feel good. I hear ya on the no-work-food thing J! Had a slice of Sausage pizza (thick crust!) and then a slice of veggie pizza (thin crust). Ugh. Oh yeah, 3 'buffalo' wings as well. My body fully rejected it this morning. Thank heaven. I need to go back to the Vegan diet I'd successfully done for like 2 weeks. Haha. My scale hasn't moved in like a week... maybe more. I'm mad. I need to see a change!! So sick of seeing 294... though I must admit it is better than seeing 382 like it was before surgery!! Wow... sorry to bring the room down../.

Thank you miss Stef. I absolutely HATE that 'before' pic!! It was taken last April before one of my lil brothers moved to Georgia. My mom wanted a 'family' pic of all of us siblings with spouses and grandkids... Ugh. I look like a beached whale. Seeing this pic is part of what prompted me to schedule a consultation for the band. Lol.

Yes yes, Whos is a goofball - you can see it in his eyes. Ohhhh its like in the freaking 40's here today!!! I wanna go outside and play!!

Pft WHatever. Lol. I never watched American Gladiator ir Dancing w/ Stars. I just know that I have the book by the daughter with the LB.

OK... I don't mean to be bitchy here at ALL... but seriously people - GOOGLE is your FRIEND. And if you would have just READ the posts in this thread you will see that the Bugg is explained about every five minutes... I'll take out time to explain alot of things... But really... GOOGLE!

She also wrote a book called "Fighting Weight" I have it, but haven't finished it yet... talks about her struggles and has lots of pictures of her.

Hey Parrot, i was thinking the same thing. They ONLY ever talk about the GB. I like to think that it's just cause docs make more money off of it... Lol. But really I'm sure it's cause of ppl like Carney Wilson who so famously had the GB done. Seriously though, I wish there would be more talk about the LB. I just feel like its SUCH the better option. I see commercials on TV for it all the time... so you'd think more people would know about it??

Yeah! But the Struddle bars or whatever weren't so bad... Is that what they were called? I dunno... The cookies taste like ass though.

OMG! Someone other than ME says "Loo"???? Thats amazing!! People usually make fun of me when I say it!! And yeah, don't ever use that Loo again! I have broken a few toilet seats in my day... but yeah.

good luck!! The consultation is so exciting! I remember mine! Lol. Seems like only yesterday... Haha. I was really nervous for whatever reason.

Lol! I felt the SAME way!!

Stef, you are so bad ass.

Go to 24 Hour Fitness: 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs You can purchase it there cheaper than the BB site. It comes with 3 months subscription, and 2 coaching sessions. There will be 2 elastic armbands in the box. If you're lucky you'll get some nasty APEX cookie samples. Lol. I think they smell like canned dog food, and taste like they smell, but thats just me. Haha. Once you get your BB you log into www.bodybugg.com/register (I believe, the info will be in the box!) You will register your armband using the seriel number on the inside where the battery goes. (uses 1 AAA battery, they include 2 in your box.) Once you register the armband you can put it on and start gathering your data! The site will continue to ask questions, its a profile like age, height weight etc. It wants to know your eating pattern, why you want the BB - i.e. weightloss, weightgain, muscle building. A BB coach will email you and set up your first coaching session. Any other questions? Most of us here could answer them in our sleep. :redface:

Yup. My mom used to tell me that the worst thing anyone could ever say to me was "No." :redface: I hate being told 'no' though. Good luck!
