BOOOO can't talk, Boss is here. Just poppin in to say yello! Love Yah's

Good Morning Chicklets :hug: My PC was playing funny games on me this morning, I had to keep restarting it *#%^%)!#!^!~~~ I am going for a fill next Friday, I'm eating way to much and not losing an ounce... my fault, I'd lose if I ate carrots instead of chocolate but I can eat ALOT. New doctor doing the fills ((I'm gonna chit in my pants until its over)) LOL. My back is alot better, I had to stop the pain meds b/c it gave me such wicked pain in my stomach.. I'm thinking its because I had to cut it up. I still am having a hard time sitting, and the pain can be quite sharp...its painful where the hip meets the leg... like right in that joint. Anyway I really need to strengthen the muscles around my lower back...and I need to get serious... I've never had 3 weeks of such pain in my life. So as soon as I'm better, its walking and exercise for me...this is bull chit. Anyhoooooooooooo !!!! Patty when it rains it pours. As an adult with ADHD I stay keep fighting for your boys, don't ever let anyone think they are a burden b/c I know hey are not. ADHD/ADD runs rapid in my family. I wish there was help for me as a kid instead of being labeled as lazy.....far from the truth. I'm so sorry your debit card got snagged... people SUCK!!! ..... I just said a prayer for you lady~~~~Here it comes BTW thank you for the anniversary wishes... I've could have lost more but heck I'm so happy I have no complaints Mary, costume $$ are insane, my DD has 3 this year (((am I nuts or what))) she had 3 different events to go to and it called for different costumes FREAKIN-A. I'm sorry your work isn't listening to you... I find myself in the same situation all the time as well. I yell, they don't listen, I cry.... I get over it until the next time :eek: sucks doesn't it. Want me call them for yah ***evil grin*** Beanie ditto's on what I said to Mary and Patty... PEOPLE SUCK!!! Its always the jealous idiots that ruin it for others. Put your foot down woman, you've been grandfathered into those hours as far as I'm concerned... its none of nobody's business if its okay with your boss and you. Sherry you sound great !! watcha smokin ? banana bread ROFLMFAO.. sorry i don't have an orange cake recipe but man oh man does that sound great !!!!! Cindy, thats marvelous that you give blood, I do too but haven't in a while. I have not read Johns post....I haven't read any posts lately but I think I'll stay away from it. John is a sweetheart and wouldn't purposely hurt a fly.... many people just don't understand/know him. Mandy sorry to hear about kitty... and if you ask me, I'm gonna have to say yes... our pets go to heaven. Once I went to a physic and 6 months b/4 I went, we put down my dog Cindy ((sorry Cindy, but that was really her name LOL))).... anyway, this physic told me that my dog passed, described her to a "T" and told me she never left my side. YES YES YES, they do go to heaven. Happy anniversary. Diannnnnnnnneeeeee congrats on curves and the 5 lbs, WHOOT and WTG skinny minnie :hug: How is DH feeling? Got any trips planned up north? Betty how are ya hon. How is your DB??? Pat.... come out and play woman !!!! Anne........ oh ANNIE BANANNIE !!! How are ya lady? Whats new in Anne's world? Darcy love, and how are you feeling? You might have posted but it didn't absorb in my pea brain....sorry. How's the shelter and how are things coming with the home?

Hi Goils, Sorry can't post much today... boss is here. I'm doing better today, new pain killers are working nicely Propoxnaps ACET100 .... but my tummy is very very upset.. not sure if its the drugs or the food I ate at lunch. I"M FALLING APART heheheheheh !! Gotta run, but will be back to post personals... luv you gals.

G'morning, I'm sorry I couldn't get in here. I went to the spine doc, he took xrays and said my degenerative disc is just getting worse. He gave me different meds and sleeping pills. The sleeping pills did not work I just tried the pain pills and don't know how they work yet since I JUST gulped them down just now. He wants me to do physical therapy.. yeah right, I can barely move and I'm gonna go to PT... DUH! I have to go back in 1 month. Yesterday I had a bad day, I was in so much pain. I really think / have a feeling something else is going on and of course an xray isn't going to show it. I'm going on 2 weeks now and this has never been so painful this long. I'm going to wait one more week, if I'm still in this much pain I will go back and demand an MRI. I'm sorry I can't do personals today, boss is here and he just makes me to nervous. I will catch up with you all. Betty my stars, your poor brother.. how sad. Hugs and kisses to my fav girls :girl_hug: BBL

Good Evening Cindy you show that scale who's boss WHOOT! Glad you had fun at the BD party. Kat, I still can't believe DH is out having fun.... my stars... HE ROCKS !!!! The house decorating thing sounds like fun. We built our house with our own two hand..... no help from contractors so I dont think "I" would do another home... thats where I got the bad back from... laying sub floors, lifting plywood, sheet rock, french drains, paving stones.... uh LOLOL. Sherry I love my crock pot but don't cook in it often. There's a website that has a gazillion recipies...even cake... imagine that. Sorry you didn't get any bargins today... next time you will Betty its cold here too, chili sounds great...save me a bowl I can't make a good chili.... I dunno why*shrug* That is cool what your street does for halloween. Kids dont come down my street unless they live on the street. There are no sidewalks, no street lights and its very woodsy...... creepy. Mary I'm sorry to hear about your fish... I love mine too and would feel horrible if something happens to them (I have 2). Did you find anything at the pound? Good luck on the weekend working... I don't know if I could do it anymore... I feel to old for just about anything lately LOLOL. CONGRATS on joining curves.... WTG lady !!!! Back feels a little better today, I am actually sitting in my chair but when I get up OY is it gonna hurt LOLOL. Tomorrow I go to the spine specialist ....eeeeeeeeeeegads !!! I'm gonna have him check out my knees to b/c they have arthritis in them and I wanna see whats happening with them. ... they hurt alot lately as well. Well I'm gonna get me a drink of iced tea, jump in the shower and then off to bed. Have a great evening everyone.... TTYT. HUGS

Whats up with everyone siggy???? I had to go change my font to #3 so you could read it. It seems the defalt is set at #1. Strange........veddddddddddy strange.

Good Morning, Geeze I didn't realize how far back I had to read to catch up LOL Beanie congrats on being almost at the two-sies... you'll do it girlie. Cindy, the salon party sounded like a blast and way to cute. Congrats on the WL and the new home repairs. Patty, glad your feeling better. I would love to soak in a tub but the prob is I can't even tie my shoes so getting in and out of a tub seems like I'd need a miracle LOL. Betty boop !! how is the foot. Walking 10 min isn't alot girlie.... what does the doc have you doing for it? feel better Dianne, how are you girlie... got any pictures of the cruise you wanna share? how's DH. Kat.. :tsk: I'm so glad things are looking up for you guys. And thanks for the emails. Mandy so sorry to hear about kitty having a pet is such a joy but when it comes to that part of life its so heart breaking b/c they really become part of the family and not just a pet. Mary its great to see you posting.... I give blood too and I do the same as you.. I have to talk myself into it and say its saving lifes....so I don't get that dreaded panic attack LOLOL. But they only get one shot at it ... any more and I'm off that table LOL. Hope work gets better for you. Darcy love, how are you feeling? are you back to 100% whats the next step? .... have fun with the babies at the shelter.... If I could stay home I would adopt at least 2 more Sherry, you sound chipper and thats great to hear. How are things by you? Pat ????????? where the heck did you go woman?????????? no excuses, we want you back in here. Crispy glad your feeling better. When do you start mushies? Today I am just gonna mozie around the house and DH bought me one of those poles that can grab stuff, so now I can pick things up off the floor w/out trying to bend... I can also do laundry with it HAAAAAAA.. I sware I feel old but that thing is a God Send. I couldn't bend low enuf to grab the stuff out of the dryer but this thing can whoot!! It picks up paper off the floor and things as small as a rubber band that everyone seems to walk over instead of pick up LOLOL. Monday is the spine doc at 11 am. All I know is I want to feel better again. Monday night DD has her sock hop... I'm supposed to help cook in the kitchen OY. This aught to be FUN............ NOT! LOLOL DH is thinking of starting Atkins Diet again.. he's got about 20 lbs to lose IF that .... but wants to nip it in the bud before it gets worse.... so I'm thinking of following it with him.... sort of. I need a fill badly. I went from great restriction to basically no restriction and it felt like it happened over night. So Nov 3 I go for a fill.... how can this happen??? so I haven't lost anything in quite a while.... and crap eating all that chocolate EVERY day doesn't help either. So maybe Atkins is a way to start this WL again. How is everyone today? any super duper plans for the weekend? .

Sherry awwwwwwwwesome !!!!! You look wonderful and frig look at your face compaired to the first picture LOL.... your legs and chest lost alot and your getting an hourglass figure... you go girl.

Hi Girls, I can't read up today but you know I will this weekend. I can't sit at my desk long enough to accomplish anything but I am here at work. My back/hip is getting worse.. when I leave work at night I am in tears from the pain. The percocet and muscle relaxers aren't doing squat but I'm afraid NOT to take them. It took me all morning to find a spine orthopedist..... I had no clue they were so hard to come by. My appointment is monday morning at 11 am.. .... CHITTTTT hope I last that long lolol. I will be on my laptop this weekend and catching up with you all... I love and miss you dearly. Talk to you soon...

Hi Everyone, I will write more, promise... my meds are kicking in and my eyes are shaky LOL WHOOOHOO jk. Went to the doc for pain and muscle relaxers... I stood crying in the waiting room for 2 hours..and this is an urgent care place... the part that angers me is there was no one waiting but me ....then 45 minutes in the pharmacy....sigh... I'm home and thats what matters. I had to buy a cane b/c the doc said to... I'm leaning more to the one side when I walk and thats gonna injure me more trying to compensate for the pain.....so I bought a purdy cane w/butterflies on it LOLOL !!! do I feel old??????? ummm YEP yer dang tootin. Okay lovies. I see alot of posts but need to nap... I'm exhausted. Bbl...love you all.

LOL John, thats a great photo..... gross but ya hit a nerve

Charlene that could be dangerous LOLOL

I'm from the NY/NJ area and yes.... its obvious up here too.

Signs of needing a fill would be not losing weight.... you'd really have to talk to your doctor about it b/c each person is different. How far after your meal do you get hungry?

Good Morning, I'm home today..I went for an ultrasound yesterday (because I was getting my period every two weeks months back) yesterday and the technician must have pushed to hard b/c when I got off the table my back was sore, I mean really sore... I thought it was my arthritis kicking in b/c it was a rainy day.... but by the time I got back to work I couldn't get out of the car, my lower back was thrown out and hurt so much I couldn't walk up the pathway to get into work.. so I went home. ..... So I am home today and can't do much lol. Wish I could take my hips off LOLOL bbl

Hehehe CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Kat, I'm so glad things are looking up. I realize he is still in critical danger but this gleam of hope has surely given me a peaceful feeling. You can count on us for prayers and mostly love darling. Don't you worry about us, you just take care of yourself and your family. :hug: Well back to work....

Happy Birthday To You !!! Mr. L-B-T :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2:

Hi Kids, I'd love to stay and play too butttttttttttttttttttttt and thats a big butttttttttttt LOLOL Kat.... ~ ~ sending more prayers your way sweetie ~ ~ I can't wait to come back to look at Mandy's pictures and Patty... hope its good news from the lawyer *crossing fingers* Pat, Darcy, Crispy, Sherry, Cindy, Beanster, Mary and the rest of you lovies.. ttyl

Well after Pat told me about Kat and Rick OMG I had to pop in and say how sorry I am.... This news is just heart breaking to say the least. Michele, thank you so much for letting us know :girl_hug: please continue to update us. KAT & RICK YOU ARE IN MY DEEPEST PRAYERS... I call on You, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. Show the wonder of your great love, You who save by Your right hand those who take refuge in You from their foes. Keep Rick and Kathy as the apple of your eye; hide them in the shadow of your wings. Pslam 17:6-8

Happy Sunday.... off to church bbl Darcy glad you love the new hot rod. TTyL

Good Morning Cindy hope you had fun shopping for your flooring. Thats something that the g'pa invited the family to the funeral.... it would take me forever to forgive something like that.... they are truly amazing people. I wanted to drive to the shore today but its cloudy out and I'm so tired anyway. TOM is here and I'm just so lazy on Saturdays, i think its b/c I'm racing all week that saturdays I fall apart LOLOL. No WL for me this past month WTF!!! so I need to really stop this shit and get serious... I'm only fooling myself. I do need another fill, I know that would help b/c I can eat an entire slice of scilian (sp?) pizza w/no sweat and food is going down way to easy.... feels like the beginning before my fills kicked in. Ohhh but I don't wanna go LOlOl, but I will. Holidays are here and I don't wanna gain frig frig frig !!! I'm nevous to go b/c the fill doc's are new uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!! But next week I'll make an appt to go....sasssafrassss. How are you guys doing?

I was banded October of last year... had to wait until February to get my first fill....... talk about frustration (I was losing weight sloooowly so my doc said as long as I'm losing no fill..... so I gained weight on purpose b/c I knew couldn't continue on my own.. nice eh).

Hang in there, the band will work once you start to get your fills. I remember eating a TON of food b/4 getting my fills and it took the 4th one before it really kicked in. I agree with Kat.... at this point in the game its about healing and not WL. I wasn't allowed to start exercising until after 6 weeks, so be gentle on yourself. IT WILL WORK !!!! be patient but mostly remember it is a tool, we still need to work with it. You'll do just fine... you'll see.

Rita, no, I don't go to any support groups. The one they have at hackensack was dominated by this one woman who had the band for like a month and the entire sessions were "all about her" and she knew everything.. OY was it frustrating. I find that I get 24/7 support right here. Any time I need to know something LTB has been to my rescue. Plus with work, the house, dd, church.... I can't seem to squeeze in the extra time to do much more.... I'm pretty content lol. Cheryl, nice to meet you. I live in Bergen Cty, not far from Wayne. Welcome to BandLand Everyone
