ewwwwwwww! I don't know what would be worse, the vinegar or lemon juice! The vinegar was horrible though!!! I don't want to have to repeat that anytime soon! LOL!

I had this happen 2 days ago. I was eating baked fish filets that my uncle had fileted with a electric knife. Before I knew it, I had swallowed a tiny little bone. I can't do bread, so that was not gonna be the answer! Lonnie told me to drink a little vinegar (old wive's tale that may work - I don't know). I did & 30 minutes later I hurled (straight vinegar is not good for my banded tummy). The good thing is that the bone came up. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this experience? I have been on liquids & mushies since that episode. I really baby my band!

I kicked a phone because I'm sexy & I do what I want!! This is cute! LOL!!

WOW! Lots of responses with great info & opinions! Thanks! I think a tan makes you look slimmer too. I think that is what is appealing to me about it. That & the fact that it helps to camoflage (sp?) the stretch marks. I have them everywhere. They're in the bends of my arms & the backs of my knees! I hate stretch marks!!! At least they are not purple anymore. But I know they are there!! I guess if I decide to quit living off my husband (LOL!!) & go back to work, the tanning bed will be my best option. If I decide to remain a bum through the summer, I'll just hang out at Mom's pool. I don't want to be a mahogany color, just a little honey colored. I use to get fabulous tans when I was younger. Now I tan, but it has red undertones. Even when I'm not burnt. I'm hoping that was due to my high blood pressure. Since that's gone now, maybe I will get brown again. Thanks everybody!!!

Well, yeah, I guess it did! LOL!! When we were kids, a bunch of neighborhood families would get together & have fish fries. Someone always got a bone stuck (usually me). All I had to do was eat a piece of bread & it would push it on down. But I can't do bread now!!!! Oh well! You live & you learn!

LOL! Jacqui, that is hilarious!!! It really was the most scarey thing I have had happen to me so far. I don't think I will be eating fish again for a very long time!

Cool! Congrats!! You're on your way!!

34. You use PIA to describe a pt. (pain in the ***)!

ALRIGHT!!! Great job! Congrats!! I'm jealous of the tan though. Do you go to tanning booths? I am so lily white, I glow in the dark!!

I don't think I can add anything to what everyone else has said. I'm sending big (((((HUGS))))) your ways! I just know everything will turn out alright for you. When life hands you cow patties, make compost!! Love ya Vines!!!! I'm keeping you & your family in my thoughts & prayers.

Happy birthday! Sorry I missed it! Hope you had a great day!!

Love it Penny! I plead guilty to all of the above at one time or another! LOL!! Happy nurses week everybody!!!!

Gosh, sorry to hear about this. I'm having similiar concerns with my Mom right now. I'm not sold on her pain doc. She's on some pretty heavy stuff. I can't reason with her. I am so afraid she will become addicted. She has a history of pill addiction. It's scarey! I'll be watching this thread along with you. I'll keep you all in my thoughts & prayers.

Goodness! I'm sorry to hear you are going through all of this! I hope you have a easy surgery & recovery!!

Sorry I missed it girlie! Hope you had a great birthday!!

I have it. I have been a slow loser, but I am losing. I also don't ovulate or have periods without taking provera. Recently I have been having PMS & cramps. I'm hoping that it is going to get better!

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great one!!

WOOHOOO!!!! Congrats!! You are kickin' butt girlie! Great job!!

It was so long before I finally got restriction that I had time to set up all kinds of bad habits. Gulping was the biggest! I too learned the hard way!! Hang in there!
