maybe we should take a poll. i vote yes. if the original thread starter wants to delete what THEY wrote then they could edit their post so thats its blank. all the other information that everyone else posts is still there. maybe we should start a new veggie thread?

if you can tolerate bread then its fine. i have never had a problem with it and it it regularly. i just got a fill so depending on if my band will let it pass through, i will still be enjoying it! the "wheat montana bakery and grains" heres there website: http://www.wheatmontana.com/baked.php Kell- we have been enjoying the died easter eggs too! YUMM! i bury them in salt and fresh ground pepper!

engaged to be married 7-2-06 in our yard. its beautiful! on the side of a mountain we have HUGE rocks and a perfect spot. i cant wait to post some pics!

sounds like your band has slipped, another word for "HERNIATED A POUCH ABOVE THEIR BAND" can also be called a 'prolapse'. you DEFINITALLY should be talking with your dr. there are a few things you can do! get a total unfill and see if the band 'slips' back into place get a total a partial unfill and see if the band 'slips' back into place you need to get back to bandster basics and avoid PB'ing at all costs! 5-7 times a week is a LOT! its not good for your band or belly! plus if you are eating afterwords you are likely irritating your band more. call your dr, talk to him/her and if keep trying! after you have a unfill for a month or so you can start back with getting refilled.

i dont ever take my head phones off at the gym AND i crank it so loud that i might not HEAR someone. i have actually NEVER in a year 'spoke' to any members there- just smiles! just turn your music up and ignore her!!!

i would LOVE to SEE that bunny!!!! i just cant imagine a bunny that would take up the whole top of my DESK if sprawled out!

HOW SWEET!!!! i got this a few days ago in email: He weighs in at 22 pounds and measures a little over 3 feet. he is a breed of rabbit called german giant (how appropriate!). this is his owner, Hans Wagner, struggling to hold him up. from the NY Post article: We don't feed him an unusual diet said Wagner. He goes through more than his brothers and sisters, but he eats the same food mix. His favorite food is actually lettuce. He can never get enough of it. LOOK AT THOSE FEET!

i use a straw on a daily bases

well i am a total clothes purse accessory addict too. the only caution i have to give is......try not to buy to much thats TO SMALL! i did the same thing and i have a WHOLE wardrobe of 14's that i cant wear! i am only one size above them but i defintially feel some bitterness towards them that they are mocking me from the tubs they are stored in, in the spare room!! :speechles :speechles :speechles the lowest i got with banding was where 70% of the 14's buttoned. i havent had restriction in EONS like over a year....(1 yr and 5 months to be exact) :hungry: and well lets just say i gained. i have been taking off what i gained back but those 14's feel like a pipe dream these days! one thing that got me to what i do now is once those clothes started fitting atleast 40% of them had to be given away cause they werent a good fit (to short pants, sleeves to short, bust to small, shirt not long enough, a million things can be wrong with things once you get them on and zipped!) so now i only buy clothes that fit NOW. its tough but almost three years out thats whats workin for me now! we'll see whats works for me in 3 more years (maybe those 14's??) GOOD LUCK WHEETSIN!!!

AWESOME!!! just a funny FYI the barium will likely make your next few BM's WHITE like alien poo :phanvan also one of the nurses told me it would glow under a black light...NO I DIDNT TRY IT!!!! oh and it will probably make you constipated so double up on Fiber...

well i have been waiting in fear for this day....i drink sweet tea with lemon EVERY DAY and yep i only use splenda.... i use 85% natural organic products but i just cant use ANY form of true sugar...i have used the turbinado...weight gain... so if they pull it i will again switch to Raw sugar but will have to cut it back to a glass a day... i have no doubts that splenda has things in it that are not good for our health...at this point (until they pull it) i will stick with it. i feel like i cut enough of the additives by not eating anything proccessed but splenda ( and the occasional chocolate bar) i have seen first hand the 'side effects' calvins mother has recently (the last 6 months ) having skin rashes that she thought was associated with allergies...after all the testing they told her it was likey the splenda. she has quit the splenda and is getting better....

:faint: :party: :hail: :ban: :party: WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!! :party:

the last 2 times i hit Mc'd's was when i had my last 2 fills!!! haha i had the yogurt! 2 of them and they were quite tasty! you can also have anything in moderation. for me, i am TOTALLY allowed fast food ( i havent had any except the mc'ds yogurts THIS year) all the criteria HAS to be met: _ dont have time for a sit down place _ STARVING or wont be eating for a long time ...i guess thats the criteria...so it doesnt happen often but when it does i get what i want and just toss the rest! i may have a lot of leftovers but i atleast got to taste what i wanted. i had taco bell though in Nov. on vacation and Hardees in july after a night of drinking to much at a wedding. why does grease cure a hangover? the breakfast item i crave is a egg mcmuffin....its been well over a year since i had one! the thing i struggle with is chocolate :angry i could eat an ENTIRE big bag of kisses RIGHT NOW (or any given moment) i just dont buy chocolate except when i am REALLY wanting it (once a month for 5-7 days haha) and i buy 1 candy bar at a time. any more and i would eat it all.

my weirdest thought is WE HAVE TO TASTE WEDDING CAKES TOMMORROW AT 9:00AM!!!! i have heard 1 gallon of bleach with 1 cup of Water

ohhhh bless her little heart. i will the thinking of you and you whole family during this.

i used to have the same problem. i would wake in the night with super sore feet or after a days work my dogs would be BARKING! since losing weight 100+ lbs it doesnt bother me at all anymore!! i dont have any suggestions in the meantime because that was the only thing that helped.

starting weight 350 bmi 51 goal weight 199 (secretly 170 but i would LOVE 199!!!!!!! i still have a ways to go! almost 3 yrs post

hey doll! when i posted this morning i just read the original reply's, i was in a hurry. i went through just now and read all of the post and let me just say i am so happy for you! i hope things continue to go so good! and :clap2: NOT GAINING ROCKS!!!! you'll be one hot biker babe soon! my mom and dad are bikers and my mom owns more leather than i ever will! i know what you mean by 'light' i no longer live a life of drama. i still have excitement mind you....but its healthy!!!! there are so many things i dont EVER have to worry about anymore and it is very freeing! the only real baggage i have from my break-up (1.5 yr ago) is some guilt feelings but i think its displaced anger. i think we are taught to feel guilty so its the easiest emotion to feel. i dont feel too guilty though because i 'know' what it is. i realisticly have no reason to feel guilt-yet i do. i think it will pass as i forgive myself for wasting 7 yrs of my life with him. its like my life took a wrong turn and i was on a backroad from hell. i finally have found my way though! in my first reply i was trying to quote your original post: but it came out just the text 'Was it a bad relationship and you just got the courage to get out?' it looks like i was asking you but i was answering you. so now that time has passed you were able to answer your own question which is pretty cool too. michelle

Was it a bad relationship and you just got the courage to get out? yes. i was with an alcoholic for 7 years and my father is an alcoholic so it seemed likely i would end up on the co-dependent end of the relationship. well NOT NO MORE!!!! i knew it was a bust from the beginning and i dont know why i stayed for so long? i did love him but in a different way than the love of your life. anyhow- healthy relationship is full steam ahead! things are the way they should be with Calvin. growing up in a alcoholic family i never knew things could/would be this way! i am truly happy!

wow kelly, i am sorry. let us know what you do and when. you will be in my thoughts.

cameo @ walmart costs about 1$. I USE IT ON MY STAINLESS STEEL POTS (oops) and pans too. works great!

i too suffer from constipation. i dont take anything to relive it i just to try to eat as much Fiber as humanly possable. my body is starting to get back to 'once a day' the problem with taking something or doing something is that your body is being forced to 'move' the waste. in the next few weeks your body will back up again and you will still want to do or take something to allievate the bloating and backed up poo. its like a big cycle have you talked to your dr? what about drinking benifiber everyday? i dont know its a tuff and painful thing! i have never thought about BM's so much in my life!!! i hope one day i dont have to worry about "did i go yesterday?" please be careful to not let yourself ever get TOO backed up. that is VERY serious. i would put a dot on a calender every day that you have a BM so that you can make sure you dont go a few days without one on accident. good luck

cilantro has this AMZAZING FRESH taste! i just LOVE it...i put it in....scrambled eggs, stir fry's, fajita's, salads, wraps, sandwiches, i'll try it in anything once cause its YUMMY! parsley i see used more as a garnish. the only thing i have cooked with it is some broccoli quiches it was good but i would have to follow a recipe to make it again and i CANT DO THAT!!!! lemon or limes can be used for salsa. i also put a bit of lemon juice in my stirfry's. i use lemon juice mostly cause i drink iced tea with lemon so i generally have 2-3 bottles of lemon juice on hand! now when i try the Chip thing i may give a squeeze of lime to that because i LOVE those tostido lime chips! mmmm mmmm good! MAN I NEED SOME GOOD MEXICAN FOOD!!! on 2.5 months till LAS PALMOS!!! michelle

WOW BERMIE!!! you look GREAT!
