NJChick

They Ruthie, good luck tomorrow with your fill. I'm sure it will go well. My fills went fine, they don't hurt and was pretty quick. I don't live close enough to be able to meet you but its cool being able to chat and its wonderful that your local food establishments catered to your needs. I never asked for anything special when I went out (in the beginning) I just ate what i could like Soups or chili's, anything mashed. I stayed away from places to eat until I was on mushies. The hospital I went to for support group was hackensack, it really was a joke b/c of the people there... IMHO it wasn't run well. There was one woman who hogged the entire meeting and well.... I never went back b/c other folks had told me she does that ALL the time lolol. If you'd like to join us on the Monthly NJ chat (September's Chat) we'd love to have you. Although the girls are from all over the states, we share a nice support group right here. Have a happy Labor Day

I love the Muppet Show but boy are they expensive on DVD. But as a kid in the 70's I did watch alot of adult shows like: Starsky & Hutch Kojak Mod Squad Carol Burnette Streets of SanFrancisco Happy Days Wonder Woman Incrediable Hulk Barney Miller chips Family Police Woman Rhoda Love Boat Mork & Mindy Odd Couple Lavern & Shirley BJ & The Bear Emergency Facts of Life Gong Show Jefferson's All in the Family Mission Impossible Swat Saturday Night Live Just to name a few

I'm from dirty jerzey Well there are really no great finds, everything pretty much is the same as before banding cept I cant take big bites or eat as much. But all in all, I eat everything. I've heard of Dr. Bertha..... is he/she also associated with Morristown?

Good Morning THE SUN IS OUT ......... WHOLEY SCHMOLEY BATMAN!!! Pat thanks for notifying everyone... DH did a big ol clean up on my PC. Every time I logged into LTB I got kicked off and into some foreign sight that said "HACKED" oy vey... teaches me to be a smart ass huh. The post was in the food section and it was foreign, so I typed in 'Oh yes I eat that all the time, enjoy' just being a smartie... and poof !!! hacked. Sorry I wasn't on much yesterday, when I got back from food shopping DH cut the tip of his finger off... just the skin... so back to the hospital we went (urgent care) for a few hours, then I took a nap and got up around 4 pm.... made some swedish meat balls that were good, I have to say *pat pat* then just surfed the net after all the dishes were done, to pooped to really read. I did redesign my "myspace" and put some really cool pictures of old movie stars on it. We got so much freakin rain it isn't funny, DH is draining the pool now b/c its filled to the top... and ice cold might I add Mary, good to see YOUR in a wonderful place with your weight.. I believe thats where we all want to be...congratulations. I'm sorry to hear about your brother, dad and aunt.... geepers kiddo Glad the kids are in school and things are looking up. Cindy family is never easy, especially when it comes to money...you really see the type of people they are when it comes to that. I'm sorry you have to deal with that childish crap.... but I know it will work out for you. Kat congrats for signing up at curves. .... way to cool lady. I can't wait to see your pictures too Sherry minestrone Soup is my favorite.... I got a recipe from some one who didn't exactly give me the recipie, he left out some things and the soup is not the same... bastard LOLOL, so I am forever looking for that tasty minestrone soup... hint hint lol. I love a yahoo chat idea.... its more private, using the chat here, they can still read the transcrips...not that we would say anything BAD ROFLMFAO !!!! Darcy I hear ya on the band issue.... but even with the band I know I have to watch my calories or I just won't lose.... same without the band. I admire people who fly by with the band, but I lost that momentum when my doc was screwing with my head back in January... he wouldn't give me a fill when I had 0 restriction and I said... well I'll teach him, and started to each crap and gained... now I can't get off that freakin rollercoaster... yeah, I taught my doc a lesson... I'm such a dumbchit. Hang in there dolly, we'll do this. Annie bananie... WHOOT on the restriction. CONGRATULATION :clap2: Watcha doing this holiday weekend, anything fun and exciting? Crispygal, I'm so glad you got your date... WTG.... bet your full of butterflies eh. Patty thats so funny you have admission to the zoo's LOLOL. You know that recipe sounds great but what are the calories in that thing??? it kinda scared me.... 600 calories? I'm glad it is taking the edge off for you, I need to do something soon b/c my sweet tooth is taking over like godzilla. Dianne, glad Lucy is home, awwww poor litle girl. So what are you doing now with her? special diet? Okay girls, I have to run, gotta get ready to visit FIL in rehab (for his hip) I'm taking him some of those yummy meatballs I made, some buttered noodles and some acorn squash for lunch. Betty Boop ! watcha doing? Beanie where'dah go?

My doc keeps patients over night. The next day I was allowed clear liquids, broth and apple juice (that was my diet for 2 weeks after surgery, clear liquids), I was also given coffee with skim milk. GOOD LUCK !!!!

I call my DD that all the time LOLOL of course she has no clue where it came from. .

Long and boring day here in NJ, rain rain wind and more rain burrrrrrr....oh well lol.

Oh my, your in my prayers My FIL and MIL has had lots of skin cancer removed from their faces (they are in their 80s), some was melanoma and some not, so far they have caught it early enough. Sounds like you caught it early enough.... hang in there !!!!

Good Morning Going food shopping AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! be back later to read up.

Remember his brothers... Burp and Slurp :biggrin1:

Gee around here they don't do much during labor day weekend except (if your lucky) a parade. Mostly people use the holiday to bbq and drink. I'd love to attend the corn festival, sounds COOL !!!! You too, have a safe holiday

Oh my..... please tell her we are praying for her speedy gentle recovery. Thanks for letting us know.

Good luck

Awww I know what you mean. I'm 5'10' and even at 150 lbs which made me skinny, I still felt like I was 300 lbs and it DID hold me back. Wish I new then what I know now.

Childrens programs from the 70's oh lordy that hit a nerve. I loved watching Saturday morning shows, looked forward to the new ones every September. I remember watching Sigmund and the Sea Monster, HR PuffnStuff, Laffalimpics (sp?), Felix the Cat, Josie & the Pussy Cats, Shazam, Fat Albert, The banana Splits, The Groovy Ghoolies, Land of the Lost, Bugaloo's, Wacky Racers, Speed Racer... and so much more like on channel 13 (PBS) The Electric Company, Zoom, Mr. Rogers. Wow what memories it brings back.

Oh.... and her uncle is HOT HOT HOT ~

She is a beautiful little girl and deserves the best life has to offer her Vera I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, my stars leaving behind a little girl is soooooo hard. My sister died at 45 and left behind a 4 and 3 year old, so I can whole heartedly understand :huggie: Children are so precious.

Hi Ladies Mary good to see you.... my brother is going thru a nasty divorce right now and yes, kids are involved.... its a horrible thing to sit back and feel like your hands are tied, which really, they are. Good luck to him. Pat shoot woman, that sucks about the storm, its heading up here tonight...dang gum it. I'm glad your okay, thats my main concern. Your DGS is a precious little guy... can I squeeze him? give him lots of kisses for me. Cindy I've read those posts and came >< close to saying something but for some reason I didn't.... After reading them I feel exhausted and don't have the energy to waste there. This peanut gallery will try not to respond to any of them. Darcy why would I be mad at YOU??? lolol, hey everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.. believe me, I was sooo tempted but held back....lack of balls I guess lolol. I did PM Donna a while back but got no response, hopefully she'll come back soon... I too am worried. Watcha doing this weekend? Dianne, glad your Lucy is coming home AND your fill went okay. Are you having acid reflux problems?? I thought I read that some where, but what made me think of it is tomato Soup.... is it okay to have tomato soup (acid) when your having those problems? Just wondering. Its cloudy and breezy here, the storm should hit soon. How did you make out with the storm? The thorn puncture was on her knuckles not her finger and it looked like she had a purple orange on top of her hand, a bubble of blood... it was GROSS!!!!! She is doing better today, thanks :huggie: Your not alone, I need mental help (okay easy on that one girls lolol haaa) when it comes to eating, I just don't know how to control it. If I didn't have the band I would definitly be 300+ lbs by now and rising. Hang in there hon, we'll figure it out. Well kids, my arthritis is 100% flared and wearing me out not only physically but moreso mentally because my brain says food will help sooth the pain, so I eat (then I feel like crap b/c I eat crap)..... bad place I'm in this week... *shrug* .

Oh Pat he is darling... can I have em? what a cutie patootie

Jinkies Prozac comes in liquid form COOL BEANS !!!!

Aww hang in there. I know exactly what you mean, after all the things I (we) went thru to get the date, I lost all the excitement. You'll feel differently after your surgery. Good luck on Tuesday WHOOT !!!!!
