    Back to school

    why don't you just tell your school nurse and privacy laws will not allow her to tell anyone else unless you want her too if is of no business to anyone else
  7. I have found that I save a lot of money on food - for one thing I am not eating out and paying for anyone else - I have about $400 a month more -- my children are out of the house and it is my husband and me and 3 pets - I am writing this because you will save money on food especially is you eat out

    depressed!!!!

    I have lost 32 since dec 9 2008 -- I have a 1.5 fill after 2 fills - I am on dialysis and can not drink all the fluids -- you are doing great in my opinion -- I am not sure what a 1.5 fill is or if it is much of a fill

    Off topic. . Can we talk about Kirstie Alley?

    I think she is beautiful and she has a funny sense of humor. I like her fat or thin.
  19. I am the worst one - taco, chalupa, chili conqueso and Beans and rice I have lost 40 and am gaining back - I am on dialysis and can not lose too quickly or drink much Fluid - I am gaining back and feel so depressed - I am going in for a fill in one week and a half I am miserable and eating too much banded 12/9 2008 feel like a failure
  20. I can eat anything but chewing is the key - oranges do not bother me -- we were told to get a glass of ice with meals and as it melts - drink the melted - just to wet your throat and mouth - I have restaurants bring me a glass of ice in a"to go" glass and then they don't drive your crazy wanting to fill it
  21. I eat the thin crust with small amounts of meat and lots of veggies

    Who loves their band?

    I have lost 40 lbs since dec 12 2008 I like my band I can not drink all the fluids due to another health problem - I have very little restriction I eat more than a cup at each meal but I am losing and I love it I can not lose faster than 2lbs a week which is what it comes out too I am on dialysis and have some issues with blood work it I lose more than 2 lbs a week I would have never lost 40 lbs on my own without regaining I love the band and I am happy

    Drinking while eating

    my nurse - the doc's wife said to get a glass of ice and as it melts drink it while you eat --- that at least gives you some liquid I have gotten used to not drinking while eating
  24. beer is out but I was told wine and a mixed drink is okay do not mix alcohol with a coke or sprite

    Mexico Danger!

    maybe she is still in shock from the attack and is afraid to use her real id thanks for sharing that information - maybe if docs here would lower the price of the band patients would not have to go to another country - I love Mexico and will still travel there - had my band done in Houston --- downtown Houston - the crime rate there is also high - I will still travel to Houston also
