LOL...yeah, I knew they had a lite version of it but I like the full-fat, etc. version better. Isn't that horrible? Hence, my reason for limiting myself. Oh no @ picking up the wrong kind!! Oops.

Good girl. You have to start somewhere.

Thank you, ma'am. May I have another? :biggrin1: Seriously though, if it weren't for the rain storm we've been having the last 4-5 hours, I'd be outside jogging. I'll ride my recumbant bike later. I promise.

Welcome to the new people in this thread! I didn't do any exercise today. Ugh...Telly, come kick my ass!

Aww...you'll be fine. I suggest that you ask your hubby to watch the kids for a few hours tomorrow and just spend some alone time. Read a book, watch some TV, get a massage or a facial, whatever. You just need to relax. Best of luck for a speedy recovery. :hug: Triciaa

Umm...Susan, my dear...those are duplicate posts. Hand me the wine, ok? Or will I hear "My precious! They stoles it from me!" ??

*grabs P'Nut by the shoulders and slaps her (gently) across the face* Better? Now, don't you dare pick up a piece of garlic toast and put it near your mouth. Don't even make a piece. Get it? Got it? GOOD!!

leener, I'm so sorry about the issue with your fill. I certainly hope you're able to resolve it very soon and/or find a place for a fill. Andy's quote below sums up what I would have said.

Hi Leona06, I'm not an opera singer but am a singer. I too felt that my breath control immediately after surgery was horrrible. I am always singing but didn't really notice the improved breath control until about 2-3 months out. Because every experience is individual, I don't know when yours will improve but I suggest that you just practice, practice and PRACTICE! Best of luck, Tricia

Yeppers, I am in the area. But Telly, you have the wrong Jennifer. It's jennifer83 who also lives in the area. BTW, she had her surgery yesterday and it went very well. I spoke to her yesterday evening and she was so happy with everything.

Congratulations!!

Yes, I believe you have to purchase them in the stores. I don't have a recipe for them but I'd be happy to ship some to you, if you would like. Feel free to send me your mailing address via private message. @ Eileen

My first and second PB happened before my 1st fill. #1 - a bite of a cinnamon roll #2 - a bite of an open-faced turkey sandwich Mind you, the two happened within a matter of a few days. I learned my lesson about white breads very quickly. I haven't touched it since.

It looks like you had a lot of fun. Whenever I see a tat magazine in the bookstore, I always pick it up to check out the tats. I have 2 and probably won't get anymore but I am fascinated by them. I watch Miami Ink and Inked regularly.

I'm not sure if this will help, but you may wish to carry this with you at all times. I found it on the Inamed site. If you're in need of a fill and they're willing to do x-rays to locate the port, this may assist the medical professional. http://www.triciakutz.com/lbt/accessportfillguide.pdf

Congrats, Murphles!

Congratulations and welcome to bandland!

Nancy, I haven't read the thread but I feel as though you have every right to offer your knowledge and opinion in any thread as this is an open message board. If you are getting flamed openly and/or privately, my suggestion would be to ignore it and stand firm by your beliefs and medical information.

I'm not trying to be rude, but why do you have to clarify her face? Why don't you just say that she's gorgeous?

:omg: :)

Very true...:phanvan

Hi Janet!! Congrats on the 15 pounds. :clap2:
