I hear there are rumors going around about me. Well, I'm here to put everyone's mind at ease. They are all true. I left Dawg for a woman I met online, he threw himself off the Golgen Gate bridge (they're still looking for his body.. he got so thin! *wrinkles her nose), my net woman left me so I'm living with Funny and her husband (who is VERY HOT *wink*wink*). Florida is nice, having a great time, wish you were here. PS - Party on Wayne!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Diane, Happy Birthday to you! Love ya girl! I hope today is most excellent!

Haaaannng on.. why is Telly uglier than me?!

Funny! What a great idea! Hmm.. wonder how wine tastes on oatmeal. *goes to find out*

Nuh uh. Those are the same ones! Geesh, ya dork. *laughs*

Heparin injections?? Wha?

Luckily, I dont keep any bread in the hous.....*falls apart* Bread!!! Waaaah!!

Craving/Caving alert!! Help oh help.. eep! Right at this moment, and this has been building for a few days now, I would KILL for a piece of toast, or garlic toast *mouth waters* mm butter.. quick! Someone slap me!!

Grats hun! What an inspiration and what a reminder that this journey isn't just about losing weight. It's about learning to live with and accept who we really are. Looks like you've made a lot of progress on all fields. I'm very happy for ya, girl. :) :huggie:

DonnaB, you rock No snarkasm there, just fact, but I do love being a snarkastic joker. Hey Nancy? Ya might as well get used to the fact that there are going to be people who are not mature enough to hear an opposing opinion or to allow anyone to say they are wrong. Then, when you do run across folks like that... *points to DonnaB's post with a grin*

Banded at age 49 with a BMI of 51. That was just shy of seven months ago. I've lost 85 pounds. The band doesn't do all of the work for you, but then neither does the RnY. It still requires making healthy food choices and avoiding liquid calories but if your downfall is quantity or breads, the band is certainly more than capable of assisting you in the weight loss. Best wishes.

Back away from my wine!

One hour later.... I found it!! *hic* http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?p=227325#post227325 and in the process I found this one if you need it: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?p=227325#post227325

Woops.. I started one of these for Diane, but missed Mysherrijo. Happy B-Day Sherri!

Yeah hey... Where are you P'Nut? Wow look. She's been pickled in a wine jug. *snorts* I'll look for ya Kath. How great is it to wake up with a hangover and see a thread like this? LOL

Grats Murphles! Must be a great feeling. Can't wait to join you there

Wow, someone else who is a Jann Arden fan?! Yay! Love her. I've never seen her though, not even a picture.

Couldn't agree more. I have tons more I could say, but I won't.

Same thing happened to me as well. It did level out over time though. I'm not certain, but I think that some swelling might occur just after the fill, that goes down after a couple of days. Give it a few days and see if things don't seem better. I know that there are times when I feel wide open and then other times very restricted. As Jack says, the band is a fickle bitch. *snicker*

A PB is when food gets stuck from eating too fast, not chewing enough, or it was just a type of food that you'll no longer find easy to eat. Those of you who are PB'ing that badly on soft foods should go get a small unfill. There is no reason you should be going thru such agony. Good restriciton does not mean you have to rely on super soft or liquidy foods. In fact, that is counterproductive. You should be able to eat a resonable variety of hard Proteins (chicken, fish, red meat) along with fruits and veggies (altho some fiberous fruits and veggies will always be a problem). Consider that small adjustment to your fill. Your body will thank you. :eek:

C 222.5 (-84.5 lbs total, -2 this week)

I like to be filled as much and as often as possible. Oh.. wait.. Sorry, wrong thread.. *blushes*

One day of behaving really pays off! I dropped from 225.5 down to 222.5 today! I just walked a mile on the dreadmill and shaved off a minute from yesterday. I'm mixing in a bit of jogging with it now but I have to cheat to do it. I hold myself up on the handrails a bit and bump up the speed from 3.0 to 3.4mph. Jog as long as I can and then back off to 3.0 again. Yup, it gets me sweatin' and that's a good thing right?

I'd role play with James Brolin any day. Oop, did I just say that outloud? teehee

White Christmas (bing and fred) and It's a Wonderful Life, complete our must-see Christmas movie list each year. I would DIE to have that house in White Christmas - DIE! Ohhh.. wanna have the Christmas spirit fill your home today? Put a small pan of Water with some Pickling Spices (found with the seasonings) in it on the stove on low heat all day. MmmmmMMMmm :eek: That's it. Im hanging white lights on our new patio tonight. :rockon: One more thing, then'll I'll stop monopolizing this thread. I was just thinking that we all have plenty of time to be prepared for the big dinners and temptations that await us over the holidays. Maybe we could share ideas for healthy dishes that could adequately replace the usual sugar and fat laden ones we eat? If we work this right, we could have all the meals and Snacks planned out ahead of time and not make it so hard for Santa to fulfill our Christmas wishes. hehe
