Brandy~

I am rolling over here.

I mean seriously... were waiting on you to tell us the 'outcome' LOL http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/lets-talk-about-poop-floaters-sinkers-85524/#post1118114

That's freaking HILLARIOUS! I feel smarter somehow not knowing the answer to that... or just naive.

Are you for real? LOFL I don't think I will google that one from work...

Seems like a suitable location for someone of that stature.

Well I haven't had a total unfill thankfully. But I would recommend that she sit on her fill longer to see if when the stress hits what the tightness level is. I have to do that with each fill and TOM... Cause TOM makes me super tight and I go to mushies. I haven't been on the April thread lately sorry :sneaky: I am too busy giving grandmas a hard time in the lounge on here (Long story and joking) I lost another pound this morning! 194 for me now I am super happy and 4 pounds from Vday goal.

You said someone made a post about 4 rats G'MA? I don't have rats but I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 fish. Hmm I looked but I don't have a picture of my fish. He is bright blue with some red in him... Oh yeah he is a Beta. I have an english bullie he is super cute and a border collie. I think that my bulldog might need a lapband if we cant get his eating under control (OMG I made it into a lap band post) Oh and my cat too... He is 19.5 lbs LOL

Holy cow that would suck lol. That smiley is freaking hillarous.. Do they have a PB one? I know the drooling one works for sliming :thumbup:

Ya something I can relate to! I was banded 4/23 and became engage in June :sneaky: My wedding is in 24 days. I was a size 20 when I got engaged and I am now a large 12 small 14 depends. I bought a wedding dress ahead of time and found someone local that can do alterations within a day or 2 :thumbup: So I just did my last fitting with her and she altered it to fit me PERFECTLY now. She only charged me 125 to have it done asap and she got it back to me within 24 hours. I am sure there has to be someone out there that could do that for you :thumbup: It's better to have the dress too big than too small.

Well I get it now... She was trying to post in General LBT hehe http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/focus-issues-85508/ There's a seriously angry granny in the crowd... Atleast mine just spanked the crap outta me then moved on hehe

I think you may have wandered into the "Lounge" and had a .... well few too many! Honestly come on we can't eat, sleep, breathe the freaking band.. If I did I would be obsessed and that's a whole other issue lol. This is a site to go for support, laugh, knowledge, and reassurance... And somehow in the meantime we seem to come together and form friendships through our words. Sure theres some posts that get off topic for the threads they are in... But that's life.. Don't flame the thread though for being OT.. Just move on and go to something you find more interesting. We hope you continue to read and post on things that interest you. You'll find many threads that can really make those hard days alot easier. Helps to have friends too :sneaky:

Kat had to go and be all logical on us Good response Kat. Much better than me and my immature pokes at fun :tt2:

I will save you a seat my dear

That's awesome! I had to reread it after seeing your posting... That's kinda like my grandmother who would beat your ass then say... I love you! Oh Snap. Well I live in Oregon now but you wouldn't even wanna know what they do with em in Mississippi when I lived there

Yeah :tt2: So far I have lost a ton in my face and neck area so it would be nice to see a real before and after... But I will in another 35 pounds!

Someone wanna point me to the post that you're talking about? Sounds like a good time to be had lol

Oops Double post But.. PJTP: Colorado Chick put this site on her blog so I did it and put it on my blog too... Its really cool. Go to www.weightview.com and submit a photo of yourself and tell them how much you want to lose (up to 50 lbs) and they will send the picture back to you retouched with a side by side :tt2:

Seriously? I mean come on ... Don't we all have one of those on our cell/camera? Maybe I should delete/formatt mine quickly then! :hurt: Wow Lulu you sound like me haha. I only work Monday-Thursday now and I declared Fridays "Brandy Day" I don't do jack squat unless I want to :tt2: Which hasn't happened yet :tt2:

What you think you're accomplishing when using is alot less than you really are. So I would be curious to know too. Addiction transfer is a real threat.. Denial. Yeah part of growing up is leaving things behind that weren't such a grand idea at the time and never would be. I know that cooking it in butter will bond the THC with the fat. You can use bacon grease too lol. This I know from "Growing up" and leaving things in the past

I wonder if I went out and rolled up a bunch leaves and field grass and dirt and smoked it if it would damage my lungs or cause other issues.... Naa no way it's from the earth... I wonder what all the fuss is about field burning making people sick in Oregon then! They are just burning the grass.

I would try to just side step the question because I hate to have to lie about anything. I guess if you have to lie just tell them that you had a hernia surgery or gallbladder. The weight you can tell them that you're just controlling the portions that you eat and exercising to get healthy because after having surgery you have to get healthy.

Are kettles only black? I think I have seen them in other colors :laugh:

I will be laying on the beach (hopefully 80lbs lighter) in Kauai on Vday.. Lets hope the 80lbs will keep them for mistaking me for the whales since it's whale season.. (No offense to anyone I was making fun of myself :laugh: ) I am too honest for those and I always get in trouble. I read it all and hit backspace really fast! You're right LJM seriously.. They are just fine :ohmy: For now.....

I am not embarassed of having the surgery. I am a private person though to people I am not very close to. My family knows, My inlaws know, and my friends know... That's all. When someone says wow what did you do to lose all the weight. I first say Thanks! Because it's a compliment that they noticed and are acknowleding your efforts. Secondly I say it's all about portion control and a little exercise doesn't hurt. The band provides me the portion control and the exercise is all me :laugh:
