CandySmooch

ok as I sit here eating a hostess cupcake and mini-sweetarts from the vending machine here at work - I am feeling very very very guilty...........so I'm in - no more candy or junk from the vending machine - or from the stores for that matter - its just harder at work when you work 12 hour shifts and your bored and hungry with no real food here - its so easy to run down the hall for some Snacks............k - i'm in - day 1 starts tomorrow delarla - what's wrong with you not liking tickers and smileys??? that's unheard of!!! your the first!

bump anyone?

they've stopped givin the free panties away now - anyone received theirs yet? i know it takes 10-12 weeks

i believe in a worthy cause - signed! - I'm verrrry surprised this thread didn't get more attention.

LOL - i must be the odd one out - I'd like to try it to see what its like!

never had one - but totally believe in them if they are legit - there are too many fakers out there - I'd love to find a real one and have one done though

mari - I loveeeeee your drawings...........you are oh so talented - I'd love for you to do a pic of me sometime (thinner but still voluptious of course with curves in all the right places dressed in a pink plaid pleated mini-skirt and tight white button up shirt tied off under the big boobs with some cool hooker heels with the thin leather lace that wraps up around the calfs and long red sexy hair) I'm sorry but was that too detailed? LOL - i just started typing and it came out - but sometime when your bored and want something to do - i can send you some pics of me - you are truly truly talented and I've never had any pics drawn or painted of me - I've always wanted to do one of the charactatures (sp?) but was always afraid it would be too horrifying and would scar me mentally forever kare - what a talent you have for making God's green earth even more beautiful - definately a green thumb delarla - awesome purses & caps - you are a woman of many talents as well vines - good work girl - keep up the creativeness now as for my creativeness - I hope you all don't hate me but I started this hobby back in January before I had even thought of the lapband and so I'm still getting the hang of it - but I'm a graduate of Wilton Cake Decorating courses and here are some of my cakes. I won't post the crappy ones. the good thing about being a cake decorater is that I can't eat all the cakes since they are paid for and have to be given to the customer - I really don't make cakes for us at home except for a special occasion - although we were eating plenty of practice cakes when I was in classes. here are a few - again don't hate me since we are all here to lose weight. can somebody please post them so you don't have to click on them? I can't figure it out - here is the max i can upload of 5 - let me know if you want to see a few more.

looks like an older Jon Cusack to me.........what's his deal? definately has a sense of humor!!!!!!1

culvers ice cream is frozen custard - like cold creamy pudding with an ice cream taste - it is to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for - you'll never go back to ice cream afterwards -you can get it in a sundaes, cones, or concretes (there version of Dairy Queen Blizzards)with any flavors you like ..........its soooo yummy!

i'm actualy pretty worried that my weight loss may be the end of my current boyfriend and I..........don't get me wrong - I have no idea, but I think it will give me more self-assurance and confidence to face something I've been lying to myself about. I love my boyfriend - no doubt - but I often wonder if I'm only settling with him because I'm fat. its' terrible - he's not the best boyfriend but certainly not the worst - he's just ok most days and then there are other days where he amazes me and I can't imagine being without him - so I'm confused about it - and I wonder if the weight loss is going to affect it. he's been mostly supportive of my surgery, but has made a few uncalled for comments. this is one fear I don't want to face - I'm no good with cutting ties and saying goodbye to people forever - especially when you wanted to marry the man, but would I only be settling? it makes my head hurt

AAAAAaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is sooooooo freakin funny! I love it! May I use it sometime? Its just too funny.

don't even trip out about it. a lot of people gain after surgery but before their first fill including me! dropped 8lbs straigt out of surgery - gained back 4lbs before my first fill. have finally got that 4lbs back off and am sitting at an 8lb loss but have another fill next week. so don't even worry about it, its going ot happen

you are too funny!

I'm not a huge Lane Bryant fan......#1 I'm a 24/26 at any other store, but at LB its hard for me to fit into a 28 pant.........and everyone's right about the cut of the pants. My weight is all in the middle, but by the time I get to waist size that fits me I can literally pull the thighs out and could use them to parachute jump with. They all look sooo unflaterring and unfortunately I still have a pairs I must wear because I dont' have any others......gross. And someone else was right about ordering from the catalogue! You buy it and when you get it its soo cheaply made it looks like it really is from the Dollar Store. Or its soo freaking not like the pic looks in the mag......I've given away plenty of catalogue LB with new tags attached to other friends because it wasn't what it looked like. I've always been a huge fan of Fashion Bug and do most of my shopping there, although I do notice that fashions vary from each Fashion Bug.....the closest fashion bug to me doesn't usually have a lot things I would wear - I consider myself pretty trendy. Then the other fashion bug about an hour away has more my style but even more so my Fashion BUg in my born state of INdiana ALWAYS has the newest and coolest things for sure every single time........so everytime I go visit my grandma which isn't very often, maybe once every few years - I always go on a shopping spree to stock up there. I can't wait till the day when I can say screw you LB although I will still shop at Fashion Bug - just in the Misses dept.! That will be a trip! Whhoooooohhhoooo!!

i too have found myself mad at a cheeseburger since banding -------its sooo funny when you think about it.........I am pissed at you BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger because I cannot delite anymore in the full glory you deserve! screw you - your going in the trash......i hate you......oh wait, please don't leave me......one more bite...........awwww F*ck u cheeseburger..........lol - ok maybe thats just how my moments go

apparently she hasn't cared enough to come back and check her supportive posts from everyone.........why all antsy in the pantsy?? Sometimes I don't get a lot of posts or answers to threads I start .........no need to up and call everyone unsupportive and not come back..jeesh

Damn that Ninja Turtle theme song........I'm terrible about if someone mentions a song or sings one around me it gets all in my head for the rest of the day.........thanks alot kimaliciosu!!!!! Now here's one for you....PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON.....LIVED BY THE SEA......... I honestly can't say if my slow losing is because of adequate restriction - maybe I don't know what adequate restriction is??? I eat waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy less than pre-banding - which has me confused why I haven't lost more weight. I now eat 1/3 of what I did pre-band yet still only small weight loss. I think I've come to the conclusion that it isn't what I eat, but how I don't move much anymore. I need to get me a pedometer to motivate me just to move more. I look back and notice when I had a significant amount of weight gain was shortly after high school - that's because I was constantly on the move in high school and once I graduated I got a desk job - hellllloooooooooo fat assssss!!!!!! I'm only 6 years out of high school and weighed 230 and muscular/athletic in high school - before surgery I weighed 293 - so I gained 63lbs in six years........wow just had an epiphany here with you all.......damn I've gained 63lbs since high school only 6 short years ago and was gaining steadily and have no doubt I'd be in the 300lb club if it weren't for Bambi (my band). Somebody buy me a pedometer for Christmas!!!!!!! I can't find any around this area in stores. Waaaahhhh - actually I think I'm going to go ebay it.........do they make a pedometer in a wrist thing? I don't like wearing things on my waist. Mainly because when I sit my fat roll folds over my waist......gross....I'm so grossss..........LOL - BUT NOT FOREVER!!!!!

Hey everyone - not a member of your club so don't want to intrude - just wanted to show support - you all are doing wonderful and I love to read the updates! Keep em comin!

Hey Kim - do you have the big band or small band? ROLL CALL! I"M HERE!!! Give us a shout out Slow LOsers! We need a member count!

if i knew how to delete posts I'd delete all of these from this thread as they hold no merit - sorry bout that.

ok nevermind - I never went back and read the entire thread - as you can see I was the first one to post condolences and never checked back - apparetntly the entire thing was bullshit and someone has a vendetta against MX dr's. NO worries - disregard - I just went and read through the entire posts - feel free to do so - its all bullshit - no one died - sorry for my mistake as again I never read through the rest of the posts as I was the first one to post. go take a look if you want to feel better - it was someone playing a horrible prank.

http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=10158&highlight=funeral there it is - i found it

I don't mean to scare you at all - but someone posted on here a few weeks ago about their dear friend who just went to get the lapband - and died from a heart attack while undergoing anesteisa - again - just wanted to be honest with what I know - I will try to find the link - it was very sad.

How did ya'll figure out your weight loss to weeks? I am 20 weeks post op with an 8lb loss - I took 8 divided by 20 and came up with .4 .........so does that mean I"ve lost .4lbs a week since surgery........for some reason that seems higher than what I thought I was losing.....is that right?

YOU ARE YOU ARE! But I think I'm going to beat you - I have a fill scheduled for Oct. 19th and I don't keep scales in the house so I dont' know what I've lost - but after my 1st fill I lost a whopping 1lb in 2 months soooooooooooo if that's holding steady my last fill was on Aug.31 - my next one is OCt. 19th - soooooo thats a total of 7 weeks - I will sure let you know how much whopping weight I've lost and maybe I'll be your MAMMA then until then - yes you are the mamma By the way - what's our true member total up to? Anyone counting?
