legster

Thank you!! :thumbup:

I'm with ya. He was just making fun of himself, something certain former presidents would never have been human enough to do.

Did you folks even watch his appearance on the Leno show? The reason I'm asking is that he addressed the "AIG fiasco" specifically for almost 7 minutes. Just thought I'd mention it.

Manatee, when you first mentioned the possibility of lipo on these boards, I began to think about it for myself. While I'm still not quite at my goal *points down*, my surgeon said I should look "great!" at 170...just 12 pounds from where I am now. I suppose if I lost every ounce of those pounds directly above my navel it could work! :-) Otherwise, I may need lipo. I just want to be able to tuck my shirt into my jeans! Is that too much to ask?? *whines* Anyway, all that to say I'll be watching this thread closely! Thanks for letting us all in on your journey.

*passes out airplane bottles of Bailey's and Kahlua* Take yer pick....or have both! :tongue2:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f12/firming-lotion-70727/ Scroll down to see Dr. Shulman's opinion on these lotions. I bought some of the Nivea though, and I think it is a great moisturizer and plan to get more when I run out.

It is probably also swollen. I would stick to CLEAR liquids (jello, broth, popsicles) for the rest of today, then tomorrow start with the loosest full liquids (like a protein shake, but not blended with ice) and proceed from there. If it isn't mostly resolved by Tuesday morning, I would place a call to your surgeon's nurse. Let us know how you're doing.

That's great to hear. Glad to know you're already feeling better!

You're quite welcome! :-)

Here's a little interview of one of my favorite humans on this subject: Maya Angelou Interview -- page 4 / 9 -- Academy of Achievement

Manatee.....be careful! Why do they keep filling you too full? Are they using fluoro? (sorry if this sounds judgmental. it's not meant that way) After losing 122 lbs., I was on my first plateau for almost 2 months. I figured it was over, but I still have some tummy to get rid of. (I'm dying to be able to tuck a shirt into my jeans!) Anyway, last week I lost a pound and mentioned it at support group. The psychologist said, "Oh! You're over your plateau!". I replied, "Well, I was *that* day" and laughed. I thought if I lost again it would be another couple of months. They always say the last 20 can be really hard to lose. Soooo, short story long, I lost another pound! Maybe I really can get to goal!!!
