first, congrats on the 180lbs lost. you know 300 calories a day won't sustain you & isn't healthy at all. i would look into meeting w/a behavioral therapist that specializes in eating disorders/weight loss surgery. what your doing is pretty counter to how the band should work. i have ADD myself - so i laughed at your picture, i'll ask my husband a question and have already answered for him before he can open his mouth.....i move fast / easily distracted. possibly supplementing w/a Protein drink to help with energy while you work on the food issues.??. all the best & again congrats on the weight loss!

CRAP HAPPY BDAY SNT **saves smartass comments for fb**

brandy sent me these exotic mushrooms from oregon, that i still don't know what to do with......maybe add them to my beef stew for tomororws games??? company is gone on their way to houston, and i'm staying in PJ's till dinner this evening - love the rain ... OH and apple pie:)mmmmmmm :wink:

wow dana, i would be a bundle of nerves! i sure hope you get the surgery , please let us know. just for giggles i did the test: weight this am - 125.2lb waist - 30in hips - 34in result: Your Waist to Hip Ratio is 0.88 and appears to indicate an increased risk for heart disease and diabetes good thing i got the band when i did:) again, fingers crossed for ya

good morning all - LOVELY rainy / stormy sat am......, love rain, minus wet dog smell.......must burn many candles:rolleyes2: i would wear my sunglasses if out in public taps - i do most of the time anyway, as they are prescription & cover the no makeup look:blushing: have good time heartfire on the rest of your trip ebony, project filled wkend? slim, HATE wally world on sat - i too like doing early shopping kat, your so funny - thanks for the fish recp!!! ok - off to cook something??????, have dinner w/my inlaws this evening and i am SOOOOO excited. no really i am, they're moving and lord knows the next time i'll see them:ohmy:

i officially will no longer be surprised @ what i read here.... i think this is most rediculous! obese, is obese, is obese - so are you scheduled for surgery on monday & they haven't taken your measurements yet? my first measurements were 3 months post op when i hired a trainer - if they turn you away, i'd find another surgeon w/out this rediculous requirement.

yes, welcome! yesterday - b- 1 scrambled egg on slice WW toast w/butter l- grilled shrimp (5) w/ corn & black bean salad s- smart popcorn - apple/cranberry d- chicken pot pie - about a cup worth

..........:wink:, ah taps ya make me smile! still cooking - still sipping some fancy wine:) tis friday evening:)

is it wrong that i love those fish? very cute; better than the HUGE wooden spoons i got from my great aunt.

HA - :laugh: i didn't even list off the good stuff:):cursing:

so, i'm reminded of that scene from the 'war of the roses' where the kathleen turner character turns on every appliance and goes to bed. i would escalate that to include loud music, dogs barking, and sneak his cell phone to go off on the 15min mark - EVERY 15mins. i would also gather every small child i could over to babysit (i don't do kids mind ya)..... i could keep going:)

LOLOLOL - healthy olive skin, but w/that came the big booty gene:) thnks

*taps, i have eye issues as well; probably reason i hate wearing eye make up. i had tried to get lasik a few yrs back, but i suffer from dry eyes. so much so that my contacts have left markings on my eyes from sucking all the moisture out. i get collagen inplants in my tear ducts twice a yr .... so makeup isn't an optimal thing for me ; unless going out. sure hope you don't have pink eye:( ** just saw your post taps; hope your home and can relax w/the compress, drops - maybe some wine??** *ebony, reading your post sounds like your work w/a HS mentality of management. really suspension?, goes on your permanent record? - as professional as they may want to appear, they certainly are not. they are hoping you get pissed enough to quit - do you have a dress code? cause i'd wear my yoga pants & running shoes and have a hell of a walk during lunch if i were you. *it IS friday brandy & football season is in full swing; have some family in town this evening from NY; who are driving down to houston tomorrow to see the jets play. the rest are here & cooking is more than on tap for me. *hey G4E - glad to see you posting. *have a good wkend all!!!

sorry georgia girl for your loss yesterday - b- 1 scrambled egg on slice ww toast w/butter l- black beans & rice d- bowl chicken stir fry - lots of veggies

oddly enough, while DH has a great career & an exceptional provider....i was the "earner" for most of our time together, which allowed for us to leave city life & breath. living in & out of suitcases is fun in your 20's/early 30's - but after a while you want to sip that wine & smell the roses. we realized, many things - much of which included a quality of life vs the "stuff". LOTS of sacrifices, and we manage. every now and then DH will say - you need to go to work, and i look at him slyly and say - who's going to cook you breakfast. he likes me being @ home taking care of stuff & i don't miss corp life one bit. while everyones situation fiscally might be different; a touch of change doesn't hurt - & the best treats are on the other side:)

some insurance policies require that - others don't. if your looking for insurance to pay - call, get a copy & read it's requirments as it pertains to WLS. i was 125-130 my whole adult life - except for the 3yrs i gained after several miscarriages. i went self pay, when i did not meet my ins requirements....BMI too low w/no comorbids.

well beth - don't have much to offer, but i'd have a hard time dealing w/that situation....thankfully i don't. DH thinks it's job to take care of me 24/7 & for that i'm very grateful.

irish setter & humans skin (ew)

yesterday - b- crab cake l- open face zuchinni wrap (sauce/fresh mozz/basil/zucchini) d- black beans & rice s- 100 cal cocoa almonds

i drink large quantities of wine.....:blushing: nah - i don't get myself worked up too much about what i don't have control over. i know the end is near, love the results of upstairs (had a kitchen built up there - so not freaked too much) .... just exercise patience - oh and the wine:)

he likes to dodge bullets - literally i think, cause he was laughing. must have passed the good stuff out in bus class while circling......crazy stuff.

so as i turn on the news - i hear that a plane has been hijacked in MX City......DH had a 11am flight there. just off the phone w/him, his plane had to circle around the city for an hr till they were cleared to land ......whew:mellow:

it's a PITA most days, but exercise to counter the calories? :blushing:

i would display them all in the guest room she'll be staying in.???? or somewhere else in the house - then donate what you don't want, would love to see a pic of the fish.....

it's not??? ooops :blushing:
