I like #2 and #3. You look young and super hot! LOL #4 would probably be good because of the game. I hope you win!! and no, you aren't too old to be doing this. :eek: Maybe you should do with some cleavage. That always gets gamer boys HAHAHAA

Ok, so Rett...any news? I have been checking back on this because i have a history of blood clots and wanted to make sure you were alright. Any news or anything on it? Did you go to your doc's office and have it looked at? what did they say?

Harley Tampa rocks!! Not so many tourists unless you are on the beach, great downtown, lots of nightlife, and less crime than orlando :eek: Plus the beaches are FANTASTIC!! I love the idea of a Florida Bash. We could rent out a hotel conference center for a party, people could get hotel rooms, and the hotel could cater. That part wouldn't cost much lol

have you tried any liquid protein? I agree that you might be too tight.

I have setup a jar in the kitchen. I pay myself a dollar for every day i workout, and a dollar i eat right. and i am going to pay myself 5 dollars for every pound lost. that way at the end of it all i will have lots of money saved up for something special, like a whole new wardrobe, or a trip to carribean :eek:

I am not banded yet, but have been reading this site for a year and a half and have heard similar stories the whole time. I hope that it helps you and the lump feels like it is going away.

You might be swollen and sensitive after your PB. I have read some people go on a liquid diet after a pb to let things calm down. Do hot liquids seem to help it? Have you tried slowly drinking a few hot cups of tea?

Those who had a last supper, can you share what you ate? Just in case it was gassy foods that you ate...that might contribute too. Like I really really want refried beans right now? LOL That might cause a bit of gas.

I think they mean a real bike. one that actually moves. maybe. lol i saw this stationary bike at sports authority that had a seat that was as big as my butt! I was impressed. we might buy it.

Yeah I guess I am meaning stomach pain and plain old farting. Burping would be easy for me to handle. I am the type that needs to spend the evening in the bathroom if i have gas, cause I am too ladylike to even do that aorunf my husband. when our kids were born and i was still in bed i would make him leave the room when i felt gas coming on. lol

Do a 6 month supervised diet with your doctor, and while you are doing that appeal appeal appeal. Have your doctor send in a letter to them stating that it is medically necessary. If you don't have any comorbidities, list the ones you are border line on. If you do have them, state them very clearly and show that it means the band is medically necessary. Just keep plugging away at it. Unless there is an exclusion barring you from getting it covered, you can continue to appeal till they approve.

I hate moving. I can never get everything done that I need to. And I find myself sitting around wondering why we own so much trash and junk.

I know, for our overseas friends it is not that late. And even our west coast members...it is only a bit after midnight. But I have to say I love it when it is this quiet. LOL Its like shopping at walmart at 4am. You feel like playing with all the toys in the kids dept and racing through the aisles on your shopping cart. Ok...so I haven't done that since college, but a girl can remember back and dream about those carefree days right? LOL Who's up for a trip to waffle house? HA!!

OMG count me in too!!! We are so having a florida meeting!!! You can't count me out. I will even be without kids cause we are dropping them off with the inlaws this weekend!! So where are we meeting???

New thread idea. thanks guys!!! hehehe Thanks for the well wishes. Diane, I know I am in the best hands around. Andy that makes so much sense it saddens me LOL No last supper.

HI! And welcome to LBT!! Congratz on your date! It is exciting to be this close isn't it? I am getting banded on the 10th. As for the pain after, some people deal with it really well. Some don't. It is all personal I think. Do you have anyone that can drive you home just in case? Or maybe your doctor can suggest a car service to come and pick you up.

OMG my son loves first knight!! We own it, and everytime we watch it he sings "we will rock you" for about 4 days after. And he is 3. Try explaining to people in public why your 3 year old is singing Queen songs. LOL

Ok, I did the walking around school with my shoes off thing. and sitting in the halls. hell we used to lay down in the middle of the hals and do homework and studying. never did the nose picking though. LOL I only do that in the privacy of my bathroom or car. HA! So many memories. The 4am work is because we are at the end of our fiscal year at the end of this month, and we have projects that have budgets running out at that time. We are trying to get all of the work done before the budget gets cut off. not easy. LOL But it means big paychecks. I have about another 16 hours to go. I might go take a smallish nap break though.

We have a huge angry storm cell on its way. I have a ton of work and massive amounts of uploading to do. I am not looking forward to yet another power outage. I vaguely remember posting in another thread that I would not be around much in the next few days yet here I am...waiting for uploads to complete. bored off my butt. LOL

Suzukimom I did miss your post! I am so sorry! Please do not think we are cliqueish by any means. It was an oversight on my part!! I am sorry you feel that we are not paying attention. I have been so frazzled lately. LOL I agree that it is so hard to move and workout with this awful stomach. They want to remove the apron, but because of my history with blood clots they feel it is unsafe. I am going to follow their rules and go with just doing the lapband. I am so sorry you have so much going on right now. Best to take one thing at a time. But do remember that you need to take time for yourself and work on your own problems as well. I know some people find this possible calloused, but in reality if we do not take care of ourselves who will? I know that is my situation. I will be adding you to my prayers and wish you the best with your difficulties. I hope that you are able to find a way to pay for the surgery and can see your way past these current events that have you down.

Oh poodles I hope you feel better soon. I know after every surgery i have i ask myself why in the world I have been put in that situation. Time does heal all wounds, and thankfully it will be a distant memory soon. Hang in there, and take your drugs. LOL

TRICIA!!! That house is amazing!!! And us floridians agree...that house here, with all of the property and the size and the style would EASILY be $750k here. What a beautiful place!!! I design kitchens and baths and I am in love with that kitchen! I love the cafe au lait color of the cabs and the lighting is great! You are truly blessed. I want to visit during the summer and sit on the porch during a storm!! OMG how peaceful!

Sherri thankfully the doc will not be doing anything to that end. LOL Have you talked to your physician about it? You might want to post a question to Dr. C. here and see if he can think of anything these will disturb with the surgery. Other than just adding to your pain and discomfort.

FIREMAN!!! She is adorable!!! Look at those cheeks! What a cutie! thanks for sharing them with us. :confused:

We are thinking of taking the kids to see CARS as their first theatre movie. they are at the point where they can sit through a whole movie here at the house, so I am assuming this will work. LOL My son is obsessed with superman so we can't wait for that to come out. the lakehouse I have no desire to see because I also saw the movie with the letters in the desk drawer and it was boring. LOL I love keanu, but I am not a big fan of sandra. I really want to see over the hedge. Nanny mcfee is off our list cause my daughter thinks she is scary looking. She won't even go there LOL I missed xmen so I am waiting for that to come out on dvd. We have missed so many movies in the theatre because of the kids. We have a 100" tv screen at home though so watching movies at home is like being at the theatre. and the kids can make all the noise they want. LOL
