I read so much from people who are struggling that they are still hungry - They think that the band will take away their hunger. For me it hasn't - Yes I am full on a smaller amount of food - I can be physically full but mentally hungry which manifest it's self in to what I consider some times as physical hunger I just wanted to know from other how the band affected their hunger issues. For me I say they have banded my tummy & not my head where the real problems lie... Thanks for your imput..

GOOD MORNING GANG !!!! CANDICE, PHLY, KARI, LINDA SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS.. DENISE, STEPH, KARLA & KARRI - NEXT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO COME. LOVE TO YOU ALL !!!!

Love to you all !!!! I will ck in when I can .. xoxoxo Janet

I think it's the whole passport issue - so will have to get to the airport just a tad earlier My plane leaves PS at 8:10 - Get to DFW @ 12:55 - leave DFW 1:35 - that gives me like 20 mintues to get to whatever gate my next plane leaves from - that's cutting it close!!! What time to you leave - well I guess a lot later you dont' have to fly as far... [ YES CANDICE WE ARE COOKING YOU AND PETER DINNER ON SUNDAY - NO IF ANDS AND BUTS... You have to take us the the grocery store and we are going to whip you up a meal.. It's going to be just you Denise & Steph.... I'm not too worried about having to catch up on too many pages LOL Men !!! This is why I ain't looking... I figured it wouldn't go any where - but I can imagine what a pain it is... Ok just cking in - I have been to the gym - bank - grocery store - feed the dog - gave Andrew verbal instructions and gotta decide what I'm bring (packing) and fix me some dinner.. Yep tomorrow night at this time we will almost be at Candices house.. Oh can't wait... Most likely will cb in the morning - but I think I'm off for the night... Gotta charge my phone & camera - Yes we will take pic's - I don't think you (steph) ever posted the ones you took last yr - you were busy desiging your website... I agree with that's what was missing about our trip last yr - not enough visiting - that's why I think this will be a great time..

How much can you eat per meal of real food.. How's your sweet tooth :0) What about the head hunger...

Ya I looked it's suppose to rain the whole weekend what I gathered - temps 75 but feels like 85 cuz of the humidity - so I don't think I am going to back a suit either - just cuz why - if the weather say rain Candice, don't worry yourself too much it will be just nice to be together - hell you have a Wii we can have teams and do competitions :0) - Play cards - you can teach us how to quilt - and what's a little water - when it rains there does it rain all day - or just on / off missing... I saw some picture of wasaga beach looks like a beautiful green area - I want to go for a walk... I might just pack my umbrella instead of a swim suit.. Phyl - do you have your scooter??? How was your trip.. I just tried to do on line check in but can't cuz it's an international flight - will have to ck in at the air port to show my passport... oh well - gotta be at the airport around 6ish in the morning - 12 hrs of travel time - well 11. 40 minutes - but doesn't 12 hours sound more dramtic !!!! I am the most miles away aren't I - Phyl's closer to Canada than I am even though we are both on the west coast. Having pork tenderloin for lunch

Good morning gang - just a quick ck in... Apples - too funny - I had a dream this morning about bras - but it was with a girl who use to work here and she and a very unsupported one on :0).... Have a good weekend !!! Ya you have me pretty well tagged - except I can tell you all I come off a lot stronger than I feel sometimes It's my front Last night I wanted to eat - couldn't sleep - but thought - you can't so many pple think you are some lapband godess - so you can't let them down - So I didn't eat - wasn't really hungry just wanted to knock out... Got a busy day today and to nite - but will check in later Hugs

Good Morning Gang Just a quick check in... Trying to get desk cleaned up for being gone 3 days - boss just got in hope he leaves me the hell alone.. Tonite gym, bank, cat food - she is about to run out - Andrew wants more hot links - packing (I have already changed what I am taking - last night moved things around - got the swimsuit out - candice do you think we are going to need them??) Need to make a to do list for me so I don't forget anything (like my passport) Then make a to do list for Andrew - when and what to feed my animals.. Karla - Congrats on the weight loss - You are doing super !!! Steph - hopefully they will drop the whole thing..

Ok I said it in the dream lol !!!! So did I have perky boobs - or my real grandma boobs :0) I have never been a provocative dresser - I guess you must think that way - cuz I say I use to be a party girl... Ya I partied - but I had the goody 2 shoes look - pple would never beleive I was as bad as I was.. You know the whole catholic school girl thing :0).. Isn't it funny how much we have become part of each others lives... We even dream about each other and during our days we think to ourselves - Oh I gotta tell the girls about this or that.. We have new found sisters - I just love it.. Yep next year we do have to plan something ... I know that we (lucky #7 ) want to do a cruise out of New Orleans next summer - heck since almost all of us #7 are over 50 - and so are we (yes 1 day & meredith are babies we have karri & steph who are 30 & 37 and denise 40 somehting ) we could combine this thread and the 50 thread (and half of us post on the 50 thread) and the #7 and all go together.. So we have a little time to plan something....

I have dental - 485 towards health 80/20 plan with 500 ded & 15 towards dental (1500 limit annually ) I pay 90 bucks out of my pocket for the lower deductible and the 80/20 plan. I have no vision. I will have to watch tomorrow and see what he has to say.. What I do know something has to be done - health insurance cost too much the hospital billed my insurance $64000 for 2 nights - my insurance paid $3500 - I paid $750 - the wrote off the rest - WTF is up with that - why don't they just bill what they are going to get paid - why do they inflate the cost..

Candice - tomorrow night 5 my time Obama is going on tv to talk about his health care plan - I will have to tivo it cuz I will be at the gym - My employer gives me 500 towards my health care - I could have purchased a plan so that I didn't have to pay a dime - but I wanted a lower deductible so I pay like $20 a pay period extra. But they (employer) doesn't pay for dependants at all - so pple w/kids it cost them $$ to have their kids insured and it's not cheap ... I know that we just changed in April to Aetna and that pple who had kids had to put out alot more $$$ to get them covered.. I really haven't watched the news much lately cuz it's just to depressing .. We are told that your system stinks - that Canadians complain about it - and if you need something right a way you can't get it done.. Our elderly eat cat food so they can pay for their meds - we don't take care of our elderly and the pple who are old now didn't have 401k etc - they just relied on Social Security cuz we thought that would be enough - but it isn't and that's broke too.. It's so overwhelming - I just do my scarlett immitation and say - Oh I will worry about that tomorrow... too much for my pea brain..

Oh I see why I missed it we posted about the same time Why didn't you take a doggie bag so that you could have eaten later.. As Longs said we were all brought up on the clean plate club - and I hate wasting food too - dinner I would have saved for later - that's what I do when I eat out - I do doggie bags and eat it later.. I know I am getting more spam since I joined FB... Havent gotten much since I haven't had the time in the last few weeks to be on it.. Happy Anniversary !!!

Oh my you all have been busy today !!! Long - I just got back from the gym myself - wanted to skip but know I can't (I skipped Saturday) and came home sweating like a pig - I can't say I love it - but I don't hate it and I feel good about myself for doing it.. And I know that it's key to keeping the weight off - and being able to have those treats. Bugs - Glad you are home safe and sound - rest - drink - walk and keep us posted on your recovery... Apples - Did I say I was 57 - well you all know what a great typist I am (not) - must have been a typo - nope I am loving 54 - age really doesn't bug me - it's just a number - but I still don't want to push it if I don't have to lol.. Cheri - I'm short - say I'm 5'4 but think I have shrunk am closer to 5'2. Hugs on being a teacher now a days... Teaching today is so totally diff than it was when I was a kid - heck my GS had cornell notes in 6th grade - I didn't know what cornell notes were (way of taking notes for other dummys like me) - I am terrible in math - good in reading.. Julie My Dad didn't like to travel either he told my stepmom the same thing - he did enough traveling during WWII.. Laura - glad you are having a good vacation - I must have missed the post about dinner - like they said - just eat super slow and chew.. Apples you have a perfect husband - that's the kind of man I would want - my gf dh is like that - but my xdh was a total control freak - I could have never done the things I am doing now if we were still together. Well, I gotta go feed the fur babies and GS CBL

Karla - no work done yet lol - maybe in November - a gf at work is going to a local doc (he does faces only) and I have heard he's the beverly hills doc of the desert - so I am going to see how she comes out and maybe over thanksgiving I may do my face - then the arms next year..

Good evening Gang Well, Phyl should be in NY by now - I think her plane got her there around 8:30 pm - she left at 8:30 this morning - she has had a long day... Candice - I love the pple movers - they are what will get you from one to the other terminals licky split and I can walk alot faster now a days Kari - Bring the cords that hook your camera up to the computer and we will show you how to do it... I need to make sure my batteries are charged.. Kaitlin in the middle one - she's 14.5 yrs old - she's not really into boys just yet - she says she's never going to have sex - we have a bet - $100 - She told me this when she was in 7th grade - she said she was getting married but no sex and adopting a baby - I said baby girl - sex is how husbands & wives show affection - if you aren't going to have sex - I doubt you will be getting married.. Even now when she talks about having kids - it's always remember Lala - I am adopting.. They keep a pretty good eye on her - she says she's not going to make the same mistakes as her mom & me by having kids young - she wants to go to college.. So fingers crossed that her brain controls those hormones that will be hitting her system before long and she starts liking boys - I have told her she can't date til she's 16... Both her parents defer to me about parenting sometime- she went out with a group to the show that included a boy - my DS called and asked if I thought it was ok - I said yes as long as it's a group of kids - Brooke the baby - is a total tomboy !!! I am always talking to both girls about eating healthy and exercise. Their parents (I still gotta scan that pic) are both obese and have terrible eating habits - As far as my son is concern - I rather have him fat than on drugs - so if I have to pick a habit - I rather it be food than drugs.. Remember last yr when I went to the LBT thingie in Vegas - they talked alot about how obese pple are discriminated against - you should have heard some of the stories the girls were telling - outright to your face discrimnation from their bosses.. Well, I was busy at work - I hope tomorrow goes smoothly - my boss has been out sick for the last 2 days - I'm back from the gym - did my 3 miles and am soaking wet but feel good that I went - go again tomorrow night for arms.. May even do a couple miles after the weights, cuz I know that we will be indulging in some adult beverages Well just cking in - quite today - cbl

Eva - Thanks !!!! I am getting so excited about going - it will be such a blast.. Thanks Linda - Yep pple keep telling me I'm tiny - I gotta say I love it - it makes me feel so good to be called that. I think of that when I want to eat.. It's so hot here that it's hard to get motivated to exercise - but I am going tonite and tomorrow cuz I know that over my Lucky#7 vacation/reunion - there will be treats (mostly adult beverages and who knows what else) so I MUST GET MY EXERCISE IN :0) So that I will keep getting called tiny/skinny :0) Aw shucks Charlene Thanks!!!! I am just a tad predujice - I think I have the worlds most beautiful GKs :0) as any good GM does :0) Thanks Long - beautiful colors -!!! Omg Apples - you had me LMAO I REALLY MEAN IT LMFAO on your dream - Sorta has the field of dreams theme :0) - I will make sure to spray off on before I come :0) 54 :0) not 57 :0) so I guess I am coming in 3 yrs after some PS cuz my butt isn't that round - not super flat - but could use a little lift. I agree with you on the whole wedding issue - I know that when my bro Jimmy got married (sil had like 7 bridemaids - bro had 7 grooms men - flower girl/ring bearer and preteen attendants) my Dad said that the $$$ spent on the wedding could have been a down payment for a house.. Ok gang I started this at 7:15 a.m. - it's now 2:07 - been busy - I bet tons have posted since I started this - well catch you tonite..

Irene I eat 100 c snack pack popcorn almost every nite - one piece at a time - I use it to tame my head hunger... I can run a little - I don't really enjoy it except for the fact that I can - I usually just walk on treadmill 4 to 15 inclines about 3 mile 2 x a week and weight training 2 x week I have to force myself to go some days -but like you said once I have done it I feel so much better.. Except right now it's so hot here that it's very hard to get motivated to exercise - I do it - but summer time is tough.. Hugs J

Thanks EE - I am getting excited - 2 more days - We are all meeting on Thursday (well I don't get in til 5:30 p.m) and leaving on Monday !! So we will have 3 solid days together.. Here's some pic's of me & my grandkids (they are the reason I got banded - I want to be around to see them grow up) GS 18 - GD #1 14.5 - GD#2 5
