(scratching Beef O'Brady's off his restaurant list) Thank you for sharing, Michelle. At least you didn't find HALF a cockroach in your food......*hurl*

Don't have one...... MsJoy weighs when she goes in for a fill.

Truckinmama, a PB is a "productive burp". Not really puking, but some of your food sort of "backs up" on you. Some times, your body produces excess mucus to move food through the system. When that back up, you're sliming. Whether or not you will be on liquids after a fill is up to your doctor. My DW's doctor has his patients do liquids for a week and then mushies for a week. I've heard of some docs that say liquids for two days....go figure. The only thing I've heard about OTC meds is no ibuprofen (anti inflammation) drugs. The wife is on blood pressure meds and she has no problem getting them down. Welcome to LBT! Keep asking those questions. There is always someone to answer them.

Welcome to LBT, Angie. There are some great people here and they are wonderful about answering your questions. I think you are doing a fine job with your band. My DW is the banded one and I'm the support team. MsJoy was banded 12-28-05 and has lost about 40 lbs. She takes all the advice I give her about her band and she, so far, has not had any problems whatsoever. Slow, but steady....

Leatha_g, I'm beginning to think you have a photographic memory.....hehehe

Kim, you have GOT to be kidding? You're moving to the lake? Whyyyyy? But it will be good to have you closer. Maybe we can talk the DFW group to actually leave town and come down to see us....? Kristin, lookin' good, girl! 72 gone for-ev-ah! Come on up for one of the lunches. We promise not to bite, unless you get between me and the barbeque....LOL

OOOOH BABY!!!! (wiping mouth on shirt sleeve) (quick shot of breath spray) (comb back hair) (apply chapstick) (test run of Gene Simmons tongue exercise) OK, here we go..... *SMOOCH* :biggrin1:

Don't let her fool you, folks. Kimmers is one hot little number and her hubby takes care of his homework! And that's the truththththththth!

You rook maaaaaarverous!!!!!

Unless you count the gallon of GoLightly and the two Fleet enemas....LOL

Welcome to LBT, Gayle. We're in Texas, too. Just a little south of Corsicana. My wife is the banded one and I'm the support team/food police....lol You should come to Dallas for one of our lunches. Many happy losses.

I want to join in, too. Where do I plant the big juicy one??? C'mere p'nut....hehehe Kim, we missed you and Steve. The BBQ was pretty fantastic. Next time.....

Donna, I love it! Burple is MsJoy's favorite! Definitely easier on the eyes. Thank you.

Howdy folks. We made it to our appointed post over in Weatherford with time to spare. Thanks Mike, for the directions. It went smooth as silk. We were standing on the exit 408 bridge when about 150 bikers came tooling along. Everyone was waving and honking at the crazy people on the bridge with the flag. And some of the bikers did, too. It was great! We made it back to the house about 11:00. 5:30 sure came early. Janet, the pictures are fantastic! The one of me and Joy was just right to cover up some of the gray hair.....LOL

One more bump for tomorrow. If you are anywhere in the area, come on out and have a late lunch with us.

Works for me, Audra. Have fun at the field day, but not too much at the faculty party. (I wonder what it's like to have three months off at one time...)

Rebecca, what is "fused glass"? I think one thing you will learn, if you haven't already, is that you "listen" more closely to your body. Maybe your shoulder hurts because you're hungry. Maybe you get that short of breath, golfball in the chest sensation when you're full. Maybe a little pain when you eat too fast or too much. Lots of "gas", constipation or the other route.... One thing is for sure, everyone is different. You just have to figure out what YOUR body is saying.

Audra, I "KNOW" that you can make it. If the Mavs can beat the Spurs three straight, you can do this. hehehe As the saying goes, This too shall pass. Just think of all the time and effort and money and pain and hunger you've put out over the years.......You can do liquids for a couple of days, no sweat. Are you going to try and make it to the DFW luncheon on the 20th???

Donna, no further than what Joy and I have to drive. We'll see you on the 20th, hopefully.

Got mine about three years ago. It has an 80 cubic inch motor, leather saddlebags and two wheels. It says HARLEY-DAVIDSON on the tank and gives out "good vibrations". See it and 49,999 like it at the Republic of Texas Motorcycle Rally in Austin, TX...the first weekend in June. hehehe

OIC, the south side of the street versus the north side of the street, eh??? LOL See you guys, soon.

Hey Mandy, welcome to the forum. LBT is great for advice and support. I'll be coming down your way in about 3 weeks. I got the Roadking back from the shop yesterday and we're both itching for the ROT rally. MsJoy is the banded one and I'm the support team :-)

Put us down for two! (hmmmmm, pulled pork nachos?????)

Well, TGIFRIDAY'S was good for me...uh....us.
