much congrats whoysa ... !!!! i know you worked your butt off:redface:

very sorry ben. i was banded w/my husband and it was a rewarding experience....i sure do hope it all turns around for you..!!!

acts 18 , 37 is his real age. he travels a bunch so likes to get "caught up all at once"....LOL:laugh:

that is my DH. have a cough - "got a cure for that" feel sad - "got a cure for that" back hurts - "got a cure for that" i'm hot/cold - "got a cure for that" i'm hungry - "GOT A CURE FOR THAT" i'm tired - "got a cure for that".......sadly i can go ON, ON, ON.. sex on the brain 24/7

i had a a hunch after reading the story myself... i understood that the house had to be put in dad's name, not nadya because she is unemployed. he's also not in the service, but a contrator working in iraq. i pray grandma goes for a LONG vacation - a much needed one.

i thought something like that as well. i'm not a fan of "westerns" but i really was drawn to this one (there will be blood) with the church angle as well. i love daniel day lewis - he was great in gangs of ny. haven't watched anything of late. been playing catch up on tivo. ps - LOVE betty davis.

i have to really watch my salt intake. ptjp - didn't get a fill; dr's scale said i was the same weight so he just told me i'm doing fine.:laugh:

no fill - dr thought i was OK....so, yesterday: b- 1.5oz cheddar w/4 stone crackers l- 4 leftover raviolis & cream sauce d- half dozen gulf coast oysters s- grapes

i was aware of the "annoyance" - sometimes it was pain, sometimes not ... i was just aware that something was up. i had a few tests done, and i had a hernia that needed to be removed. while "in there" my dr noticed a slight infection. i had no fever, but went through a round of antibiotics to fight the infection for 3 wks. an endoscope determined it was treated properly & no longer there. my concern was that the infection has the capability of erosion - something i was glad caught early. is your $150 visit for fills only? can you not have tests run and charge to your insurance? i ask because i was self pay - but my ins has covered fills/drs' visits/hernia surgery/endoscopes. it would be totally worth it to find out.

i read she finally accepted the angel nurses w/dr phill's urging. personally, i don't think she had a chance of those babies being released to her care unless she complied.

i had the same experience after eating "sometimes"....it was an infection @the port site. please go to your dr and get it checked out; sooner rather than later.

DH actually gave me a "pep talk last night"... i have a bit of a wandering personality, i get bored easily, touch of adult ADD.. i struggle w/the the "whats next" thing, and i don't have a current answer so what have i done - eat more. not a good place & plan to discuss w/the good dr. off my psych soap box....LOL

thank slim - i had been eating like a pig lately and was afraid to get on the scale this AM ... only gained 2lbs...so not too bad. ps - i think beth is serious:)

was a very pretty wkend; went on a few walks -nothing crazy ..... but i'm getting a fill today & hope a kick in the pants as well. dh and i put together our treadmill yesterday (very little asembly required:)) i think it was a really good investment. i plan on hitting it shortly w/my ipod as it looks like rain is coming....

* taps, i didn't think you could actually move further north? * work - think my short time in going back is going to come to an end today. long talk w/DH last night; a lot of the reasons i left in the first place are creeping back up and it's not a financial benefit if certain other things suffer. * fill - getting a much needed one today, again w/that attitude adjustment.:confused:

***yeah, finally get a fill today & i really need it*** yesterday - b - 2 skinny caps - some grapes l - sausage/egg muffin, slice ww toast w/cream cheese d - slice of pizza s - split chocolate cheese cake slice w/dh

just tune the noise out. those w/the best intentions in their advice are not responsible for your health & well being ... "you are". how you get healthy, how you manage your weight is yours to own. if you "share" - expect comments, even those not asked for...

same here - my grey is corse, nothing like my normal textured hair. i'm a triple process person, one step to cover the grey, then a set of highlights & set of lowlights. i probably spend too much on my hair - but that's my little vice:) DH has been going grey since he was 30. i like it - he'll never lose it, but it gets a bit more grey each yr...he blames me:) kat - i threw chicken in a crockpot (mexican style - recp i got here) cause i knew i wanted to lay out by the pool all day & read.....it's GORGEOUS out; but the pool is COLD!

*susan* - i'm very happy for you. while my lone issue has be an isolated port infection - i have NO hesitation in doing anything/everything to never regain... it's work staying under 130, if i want to eat; i have to workout... again, glad your getting a much needed revision. lu

LOLOLOL - , i wasn't much better...DH had been gone for over a wk and i made some ravioli & might have had a few too many martinis. drinking water by the gallon right now. yesterday - b- skinny cap l- tequilla lime talapia, steamed broccoli d- 5 sausage raviolis in cream sauce, slice of garlic bread s- key lime yogurt w/spoonful of cool whip

omg taps this made me laugh over my coffee!!! especially the etc....LOLLOL right now my grey is at the temples - i'd like to think that if it came in nice i'd give in and let it go....but i doubt it. slim - whats for diner ????

i'm chemically addicted......i fight the grey monster every 8 wks.:laugh: i dated/lived w/a chef in a former life in a foreign country - i learned enough to be dangerous and add the lbs to my bottom......i'm making a pancetta cream sauce now.... i've had a pasta craving all wk and am CAVING slim tell your MIL that a can of beans is cheaper than hungry man jack tv diners:) and have one for her tomorrow:ohmy:

i have not had a good wk food wise & have an appt monday for a fill .... i have an attitude adjustment right afterwards:tt2:

while i had my lapband at a surgical center (day surgery), i would have preferred an overnight stay in a hospital. i had no complications -i was however in a lot of pain (port site) and wished i had a little more TLC that a hospital could have provided. i was banded the same day as my husband, and his needs were more important....oh and his pain worse:sneaky: my dr has since gone off in private practice (was w/true results) and does surgery in a hospital - over night stay included....
