[sarcasm] I think we should quit paying taxes and live in a lawless society. You want it? Go get it yourselves. Pshaw-we don't need a health care system. God made you sick; therefore, it's your turn to die. Learn them youngins at home; wth are women working for anyway? Running Water? Overrated. Firemen? Your neighbors will help you rebuild. But keep in mind that if we aren't paying taxes for what we don't want, I DON'T WANT TO PAY FRICKEN TAXES FOR THE IRAQ WAR. The Republicans can all pay for it, tyvm. Clearly the Congress sucks and Bush has dug us into such a hole, we may never get out. The Ultra right-wingers kill me with the socialism crap. Hello, we are electing a President, not a Dictator. Of course, with as much as we've let Bush crap on us, I guess I might be a little leary as a Repub that Americans would be asleep enough to let Obama just run roughshod. Suck it up Republicans - Papaw ain't gettin' elected. Yell, scream, and hollar as much as your paranoid selves want but the Dems are gettin' back the Presidency!

Nightart - eww you are spoooookkyyyyyyyyy!!! :-)

Ha! I was in dizzyland when I was on the morpheine in the hospital!

Donna - when you said SNT, I thought you meant me. I thought, "I just got banded last week!" Slim, Sick.....confusing! So I went to my surgeon today where they took off the bandages and cut some of the stitches. The cut around my bellybutton was bleeding a little so that's the only place where I got another bandage. He wants me back in 4 weeks (not sure what for) and then for my fill a week later. Hello, that's the week of T'giving! I don't want to be gagging in front of my extended relatives who don't know I've been banded! So I told them I was going to be out of town for the holiday!!!

Welcome back, Glou!!!

Just make sure to cough on things that you know he'll touch!!!

So I weighed two nights ago and had only lost one pound - bitter! This morning, I weighed and I'm down 10 pounds; woohoo!!! The big incision is still a bit sore but considering I'm 5 days out; feeling very lucky! PS - vanilla protein shakes stink

Ha! That's awesome!

Nazzy - you're eating yogurt your first day home??

Taos - I didn't have any gas either. I am so thankful!!! I sneezed yesterday which was a bit painful but am OK. Are you hungry??

There is? Or are you talking about this thread? Am I having a dingbat moment? I got banded last Thurs and was on Clear liquids for 2 days before. I weighed this morning and am down 10 pounds! :biggrin:

LJM - it's funny...I was trying to get to sleep last night and thought, "where the H has LJM been? I haven't seen a posting from her in forever!" Of course, I also have been on drugs at night! :smile: Is the doc hassling you about the 17 pounds? (Yes you read I had no gas - yippee!) Speaking of pounds - I'm down 10 exactly as of this morning!!! :biggrin:

Your mouth to God's ears, sugah! Lulu doesn't get scared!!!! Lulu - check out the link at the bottom of my signature. You'll love it. :Dancing_biggrin:

Right?!? I went on Optifast in college and went from a 14 to an 8-10. Said I would NEVER get to a 14 again. Bah! Whew, that's a good one!

Girl puh-leez. I'm a big 28 so I don't even wanna hear it! I'd like to be Lulu's beginning size of 16! I can't even fathom being a size 6! Moooooooo

Sheeee - how cute are you!?! I'd never paid too much attention to your current weight. You're so little!

So once I start losing weight, will you start being a chauvenist piglet w/ me? Pretty please? LOL

She - I used to think your avatar was you for months and months! :tongue2: Fanny - 1.) I'm very jealous of your lovelife. I got banded hoping to have one eventually!!! 2.) I got a postcard from my brother today from Perth. It's gorgeous with all that water!!! What's the population?

I'm a fan of vodka too tho I am not the biggest drinker. PS - I put some orange flavoring in my vanilla shake. GAG.

I'm not really tired during the day but at night, I'm sleeping 12+ hours every night!

Aww thanks!!! I am pretty doggone hungry tho! I feel like I haven't talked to you in fo-evah!!!

Pat - which chewable vitamins do you use? I got liquid Centrum and it is DISGUSTING!!!

You get banded tomorrow? AWESOME! Welcome!
