I would LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE to go to Salem for Samhain/All Hallows Eve/ Halloween!!! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BLAST that would be. Grrrrrr, I wish I was rich. Damn bills and responsibilities are kicking my arse!

One day at a time ladies..... it will be over before you know it! Sucks going through it though. We are all here for support.

Deep breathing exercises helped me a lot.

Yep, the first 4 weeks are a b**ch! Once you go through it you will never have to do it again. Keep reminding yourself that every day is a new day.

Try doing a search in LBT for "food suggestions". There are a ton of postings with recipes and suggestions.

Welcome to bandland and the beginning of a healthy happy you!

Yep, I thought I was wrong once but I was only mistaken. HA HA

mmmmmmmmmm, they are cooking as we post!!!

2.0 first fill for me too.

Thanks!!! Anyone wondering what is for dinner? Yep, you guessed it! Mexican Meatballs! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!! Terrific quick and easy recipe, thanks a bunch!!!

Anyone else have any quick and easy ones???

Regardless of either before or after pic though.... I would trade with any of them.

However......... being a photographer myself I find it strange that he can MOVE A FOOT position! It is NOT the same picture. Restoration and airbrushing can definitely enhance a tan, fix a vein, plump up a butt, plump a boob, soften a crease, slim a bulge but it CAN NOT move an entire foot to an entirely new position. So that one picture (about the third or fourth from the start, obvious butt plumpening) is a fake and NOT the same picture.

But again, I would take any one of their bodies.... and would even consider the guys!!

I would think it would be easier to live "in the WLS closet" with the band rather than gastric bypass though. That is the only reason I lean more towards the banding theory. Plus, the heal time would be helluva lot quicker than RNY.

TOTALLY normal. Try doing a search on LBT for "port" and sift through some of the posts. I know I have even posted about this. I was told by my doctor it is totally normal and it is the scar tissue that is making the port steady. It is actually a terrific sign that you are a great healer and your body does the work.

Obviously still follow up with your doctor. But I was fine.

Geez, with only one eye he is so darn smart! I love your postings Jack. Always good to read.

Hey.... look over here..........................................now here......................wait, here...................................no,here I am!.....................moved again....

peek a boo!..

Hee hee, too much fun making a guy with one eye chase me around...... ARRRRRRRR! hee hee hee (sorry everyone, I just HAD to do it! so mischievious)

Glue for me too! It was WONDERFUL!!! No steri strips and no itchy stitches (I am super skin sensitive!)

Highlight the post text. Press Ctrl C..... Open a word document....... press Ctrl V..... Print. This will give the cleanest print without wasting paper on the other stuff.

Or............ in the upper left side click on "File"....then "Print"..... then press "OK" and VIOLA!

Geez, she left us hangin!! WHAT IS THE COSTUME OF????

BIG Fan of this holiday! And this is the year of the "Witches Ball" in Phoenix. WOOT!!!! They only have it every other year.

LOL I was just thinking about that yesterday!!! I think the same thing. Look how many people here don't tell anyone at all!

((sigh)) someone explain the TMI and fish connection.... I am sitting here puzzled.

Write a letter or write an email?

Be careful with the nectar. My nutritionist warned me that although good for you, it is a natural laxative. I was told to go ahead and have it if I like it but just make sure I take it slow and in moderation.

Okay, totally understand. I just was thinking it was more advertisement since it lists his costs of the band itself and talks about "why so cheap you ask?"... and "please visit my website and FAQ" reminded me of an infomercial.

I also think it is great to have a doctor here. And as I said in my first post, I think it is terrific he is taking an interest in his patients or other bandsters and taking it upon himself to learn how we "feel".

P.S. You know I had to be the doubting thomas in the group!

The beginning is rough. It was for many of us. Each day gets better and better. I know it is difficult but you are also going through a "mourning" period for food loss. It had always been a comfort and now you don't have that. I did it too. It gets better with time. Time heals a lot of wounds. Hang in there!!!

Crystal,

I love the fact that you pointed out so many things that are NSV's that I never realized until you said them. Thanks for making my day a bit brighter by making me take a look at all the good things that have happened because of my band thus far.

Welcome to the board and I am glad you are here and reading postings about the bandsters and how they feel/act/think... however, I hate to be the doubting one in the group but I thought LBT had a rule against blatant promotion of a company/doctor/etc or something like that? The introduction sounded more like an advertisement to me and I thought that wasn't allowed? Someone correct me if I am wrong. Sorry to point this out.... don't all yell at me at once please, one at a time.

Buried or Cremated?

lol, yep, those are some terrific questions! I read the original question wrong ha ha
