TracyK replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My DD got a clean bill of eye health...thank God. Jennifur-no I have not tried fiberone yet. I tried mineral oil and it has been working pretty good so far. Michelle-I know you didn't just refer to yourself as a fat a**. Don't ever say that about yourself again young lady!! -

Terri-I am so sorry for what you are going through. Maybe, just maybe your DH is threatened by all the positive changes you are making in your life? Could be making him insecure? (I watch too much Dr Phil I guess). It makes sense though.... Keep doing what you are doing and everything will be great girlfriend!! Good morning Violets-I have to bring DD to he eye dr today. Her pediatrician recommended it because her left eye may be drifting inward. Anyway, wish us luck. I think I would croak if they said they need to do surgery. If so, they better have something there to knock her momma out too!! Everyone have a super duper day.... -
I hope dick & daniele are the final 2.... It would be way too boring if they would not have been on the show.

Kat-no baby boy in the plans. My DH has 2 kids from his previous marriage and my dd was more than I ever dreamed of. So, my DH got "fixed". I would not have been sad about having another one. I was sick every day when i was pregnant. Morning (noon and night) sickness for all 9 months....here is the funny part, I loved every minute of it. I loved everything about being pregnant. I guess it is because I knew it she was a complete gift from God. If I were to get pregnant now I sure would have ALOT of explaining to do to my dh....lol Terri-sounds like you have a rocky road ahead of you. Keep us posted and know that we are thinking of you! So, Pamela...do you know who on the power of veto yet? :eek: -

Welcome back Kat-glad you had a good time. Terri-you are right, it is amazing what .1 cc can do!!! Well, I have been fat my whole life. Never one time did I have a boyfriend in highschool. Never one date, no prom, no homecoming dance...nothing. (I was a virgin until I was 28, if that tells you anything). Once when I was 27 years old and I weighed about 325...I kept having a dream over & over. The dream was simple...I was in the hospital and I had just had a baby boy. My mom & sisters were there and I was holding my new baby. Then when I woke up I was really crying. It took days for me to figure out what that dream meant....why would I be crying after a dream like that? At that time in my life, my worst fear was a dr telling me that I would not be able to get pregnant being the size that I was. Then I took a long look into myself decided OK, what is keeping me from having my dreams come true....the answer was ME....I was keeping myself from being happy. What a revelation that was. So, over the next year and a half, I lost down to 163 pounds. I had never been happier...until I married a drug head and yada yada yada, gained the alot of the weight back (thank God not all of it) lost all my self esteem once again. Anyway, long story short...I divorced the bottom dweller, yo yo dieted, 4 years later met & married the love of my life and now have a beautiful 4 year old daughter. They are my reason to want to live....and here I am!! Bouncing between 205 and 206, but I know I will make it, I just know I will. Everyone have a great labor day!! -

Yes, I eat cereal, I guess I need to try a different kind. Thanks! Jennifur-I will try the whole gran pitas....sound pretty good!! -
OK, I cheated.....here is the reason why since you asked.... My then husband was a complete bastard. He told me (in his own way)that nobody would ever want me or find me attractive. He used me for money, was a drug head, and I found someone that treated me like gold, listened to me when I cried and things went from there. The "friend" knew I was hurting and he gave me new perspective & strength to move on from the horrible "relationship" I was in. I have zero regrets....let me say that again, ZERO REGRETS....if in the same situation would I do it again? No.... and here is why, I learned so much from the EX and my affair, that I have the strength and wisdom now to know when it is time to bail out and take care of me. If I do not take care of me then nobody else it going to do it for me. And that crap about once a cheater always a cheater...that is the biggest amount of bullshit I have ever heard. Like BooBoo Kitty said, you do not know what you would do until you walk in their shoes.... I am very happily married now to a wonderful man that is my prince...I aim to keep it that way. I would never hurt him by cheating on him...the EX?, well he deserved it and so did I...I am a better woman & wife for it. Thats my story....

Good morning Violets..... Like Laura-It is amazing to me me the portion sizes that are served when you go out to eat. It is just unbelievable that I was able to eat that much. I watch people in amazement and think OMG!!! The best part is that I do not miss being able to gorge myself like that. I miss the food sometimes, but not the gorging part. Terri-so how is the unfill working for you so far? We went grocery shopping too yesterday. We went to wal-mart. I normally like wal-mart but it did not take me long to realize why I like Krogers more. Wal-mart was a flippin ZOO. I was so aggrevated when I left there it was unreal! But what can you xpect going there on the saturday before Labor day... I bet Tracy & Kat & Judy are having a blast. Especially Judy, she is taking my dream cruise. One day I will do it too! I am so envious. My in-laws go on an Alaskan cruise one or twice a year, but if we were rolling in the dough like they are, so would we. I have still been having trouble in the BM department and the last thing I want is to get hooked on laxatives so I need to call the dr office and ask for tips. Fibersure does not work for me....it just cramps me up. I have been eating green veggies, still no go. I bought some mineral oil and we will see how that goes. Do any of you have suggestions? Oh well, I need to get to my coffee :ranger: Everyone have a great day! I will check back later.... -

LOL I wake up thinking OMG, I was drinking & eating at the same time, it was a dream right? hahaha -

hmmmm...I just love the word "skinny" being used in the same sentence with my name.... Also, since it is football season you know how they announce the players & their height & weight and the announcers talk about the players and how massive they are? I now weigh less than the linebackers...that used to depress the hell out of me. Those days are over now -

Pamela-lets hear it for Amber being out of the BB house!! Who won the head of household....do you know? I don't want to wait until Sunday to find out! Glad you fill went well...I know you must be relieved! Hello everyone else!!! HAVE A GREAT ONE -

Oh yeah, as far as goals...I set them but really realistic ones...like I want to be in onederland by Thanksgiving, now it looks like it might be Halloween But, if not, the original goal was Thanksgiving so I will still be able to "give thanks" if it happens by then. -

I think it would be a riot to have all of us in the same hospital wing. The nurses would ask for huge raises or quit...LOL I hope that everyone has a great day!! (206.5 this morning)
