Good Morning Happy Birthday Anne !!! hope your enjoying the day and its loaded with lots of birthday surprises Nothing much is happening today, SOSDD. How's everyone today?

Welcome back Terri, its so good to see you

Happy Birthday Annie Bananie :happybday2: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday2:

Does anyone take them? I used to take them years ago when I was on a low carb diet. My hair got nice, my nails grew like mad...it was great. Even though its not proven to help with hair loss, I need to start taking them again, my hair is falling out in clumps, I have strands left of what was once nice thick hair..... sigh. The pills I see in the store are HUGE!! there's no way I'm taking them or breaking them open ICK (pheew). Would you know if they make small ones that a banster can take? Thanks lovies :biggrin1:

Thanks everyone YOUR THE BEST !!!

I get mine at Trader Joes... World Wide Protein, 100 calories, 2 gms carbs and taste great (its in cans), I get the vanilla the chocolate is eeeeh chalky.

Hmmmmmm.... bet you can make one wicked dip out of it

Good Morning Patty glad you found all the goodies you were looking for don'tcha just love it lol. Cindy, I agree with Donna... so we see 3 days ??? Here's hoping for much more than 3 Betty, yep, I got my cooking if you will, done LOL but my house still looks like chit. I clean friday - sunday and sunday night its like WTF happened? lol, life happened thats what... gotta love it. Yes I'm going for another fill... I have 1.75 in my 4 cc band... me want MORE!!! just a tad. I'm gonna stop at 2.0 (well I'm gonna try to anyway). I can eat a decent amount still and bread, chicken, gooey stuff... no probelmo' Whats whoopin my ass is the picking inbetween... I'm hungry 2 hours after I eat and yes...thats even if I just eat Protein and no, I'm not drinking water... fill time eh LOL. Mary *WAVE* Donna thats a pretty poem LOVE IT !!!!!!! Hugs and see more of you tomorrow... no boss *EVIL GRIN* can you say whooooooooot !

What is your idea of enough food, regardless of the restriction. Should we all stick to one cup of food.... does that include Protein. What about salad, that is so much lighter than protein/carbs. I'm still having a hard time knowing when I'm full until I've eatin quite a bit and stretching the pouch worries me. Lets talk...

Also remember, don't try to drink/eat all your Protein in one sitting... the body can only absorb so much at a time. A body builder can absorb more protein than some one like me who sits behind a desk all day.... so break it up. Try not to have more than 30 gms per meal/sitting.

Becky, I'm so glad to see you WHOOOT!!!! and I'm so glad your back in the saddle again Lets kick some ass together.... I need to get off my pitty party too.

WOW BRAD !! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart WTG !!!!!! and congratulations on your new baby boy, your gonna have a ball with him. Hugs and Kisses

Oh BTW, Donna...do we get to see b/4 and 50 lbs after pictures ?

Good Morning, I have to do some serious cleaning upstairs, its hairy up there and I don't mean from the wads that are coming out of my head. DOC first thank you for that lovely thing you said in that complement thread....your a doll !!! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=18160 I think of you all here like my sisters. HUGS We all understand your struggles thats for sure and you so deserve the success you have worked so very hard for. Oh and yes, I'm slacking off on my Water and promised I'd get better at it. I hope my next fill helps more but I'm afraid.... even though I don't eat alot, its still to much but mentally I don't want to eat less.....vicious cycle huh. I guess I'll have to talk to my doctor and do more on my part. Kat, a Luau sounds like fun, lots of fun. If you go to oriental trading they have soooooooo much luau stuff its incrediable. Have fun with your make overs. I hope I never have to do a house over again...you see we built our home, from the foundation on up. First we tore down the exhisting house and rebuilt it... no contractors, just me, dh, brother in law, thats it. Took us 3 1/2 years just to get it ready to move in (plywood floors, 1 kitchen cabinet and no closets LOLOL) and by the time we layed the last carpet down, it was 10 years later. I have a bad back from all the hard labour but it was worth it. We couldn't afford to live in this area any other way. I feel your painting pain LOL. Betty GET OUT OF TOWN !!!! I"m so happy you won 1st place.. how *f* cool is that. Did you have fun at the party. I need to cook some stuff for the week do some laundry....so I'll be back later :mad: Cindy how are you feeling? HUGS !!!

Nope .........

BigPaul always makes me feel really good about myself. He's funny and silly but really smart right when you need him to be. DeLarla TellyMelly keeps me motivated on days I think I want to slack and theres always a smile on my face when I'm talking to her, she just keeps me laughing. She brightens my day! Cutiern reminds me of my daughter. I love how she is young, independent, and willing to make financial sacrifices to change her life. Dawg is a great husband. Selfless and supportive. He lives a banded lifestyle, without the band, so that he may succeed along side his wife. Pennie always seems so level-headed and diplomatic. I really admire that. Jack cracks me up with the use of his warped sense of humour in the manner in which he offers practical advice. Humour and practicalilty...great match and I always appreciate his input. (I also like his avatar!!) The best me (Kathy) has one of the most loving and tender hearts I've ever seen. She is always caring and giving to others even when she's needing support for herself. Her love of God and her desire to be a better servant shows in every post. Paula is my sweet Band-daughter and I'm so proud of how genuinely sweet she is and how her caring heart and love of God shows by her actions towards all others Iluvharleys has a good heart and is always so thoughtful, kind and caring always thinking of others in their time of need. NJChick (Eileen) Cracks me up!!!! She brings a smile to my face no matter what the topic. Bandland would be a boring place without her : - ) VinesQueen reminds me never to give up no matter how bad things seem at the time and encourages me that I should dance my heart out no matter whos watching~and I wish she would hurry up and get back on LBT!!! Michelle, without a doubt the most inspirational person to me. Even while having her own family problems, she finds time to come here and offer her help. She's a great person! Susan (PhotoNut) is one of the most supportive and knowledgeable people I've ever known. EmileeKaye is the sweetest, most genuinely nice and wholehearted bandster and online personality I have ever met.. and I have met quite a few. The sun shines on her goodness and it feels really nice to surround myself with people like this. K@t has been my friend and support since the moment I joined this group. She listens and gives without asking in return and makes me feel anything is possible. DeLarla is my vision of independence, strength, wisdom and trust and has always been a person that speaks her mind and has gained a tremendous amount of respect from me as an intelligent and witty person. StrawartS is smart and funny, and she has the strong personality I admire, yet she's kind. Plus, her screen name is a Palindrome. It's spelled the same backward and forward. Very Cool. Kathy (best me) Jenna (princess n thep) is always honest and straight foward. And she is a great booty dancer. Kathy was kind and gentle with me when I was cursing over my first PB. I was shocked by her generous spirit at first, but now I see that that's how she treats everyone. And her baby is pretty cute. And I don't even like babies. The NJ Board: I can't chose just one person because so many have come to my rescue. They give their heart and soul and they do it with compasion and love. *Cheers NJ Board, I Love You ALL*

Tricia, you might have told me you lived in Joisey but this brain doesn't retain to much these days LOL. I just PM'd you about my location... this is way to cool !!!

With gas prices, I don't think I'll be going anywhere to far. We just got a new pool so my weekends will be swimming and hopefully slimming

Are you kidding me???? where in NJ, maybe we could meet :clap2:

Happy Saturday Folks and Folketts, Donna 50 lbs WHOLEY SMOKES, that is just awesome, some day I'll be saying whootin and dancing to the same milestone CONGRATULATIONS and BIG BIG HUGS. Betty have fun on your bike ride, and lordy woman, another party? how in the world do you do it lol. ENJOY Sherry, don'tcha love it when the people at work know your capable of doing a job, and a good one at that, so they decide to over load you with crap. I get that same thing at work, but not only does my boss do that but the other mgrs and sups do the same crap. I mean WTF right. Hang in there and hang in there with DS...he'll be okay. Mary enjoy your dinner tonight. I'm glad you got a lawyer and the DH came to his senses about the house but theres no doubt his lawyer told him he didn't stand a chance with it. No judge is going to throw you and the kids out in the street (well, hopefully no judge would do that lol). Beanie, I'm going to take your advice and eat on a coffee cup plate, I'm tired of this weight just standing still... and I'm tired of my excuses. May 27th I'm going for one more fill but in the mean time I have to lose something or I'm gonna hang my head in shame at the doc's office. Congrats on reaching the 316... one pound at a time. Water is right, thats my big downfall lately. Lets drink together LOL cheers* Becky, I can see you on a motorcycle knitting ROFLMFAO~ LOVE IT !!!! What else do they have/do at the beer fest? Enjoy your time with DH. Cindy have fun with your DD today. Kite flying is so much fun. That really does suck about the headachs. Are you going back to your doctor? Patty, time goes by so fast, I can understand you staying away from here to catch up. Have fun shopping today You know I've only been to the outback once...had the bloomin onion and didn't feel good for days LOL and I thought my stomach was made of steal LOL. The only thing that keeps me from going back is the long lines. Any news on the band and a date? Annie have a wonderful time tonight and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Kat, love the new avitar....that is you right ROFLMFAO !!! Good luck on the scale today...you can do it !!!! watcha got planned for the weekend. Pat....... where are you chick? Darcy......you too ??? Welcome Sallyjo congratulations on the 10 lbs whooot !!! Well its two weeks until DH's surprise party and boy am I nervous as chit...
