Great poem Tammy....so much is so familiar!

Ya'll are cracking me up....really needing that today! I love the Kotex story!!! Thats great! Chat soon!

Thanks Kim, keep us updated on the insurance appeal! Good luck sweeite!

Thanks guys for the cheers on the weightloss. It really makes me feel all good inside.

Tammy, your post cracked me up....I ate a footlong like 2 weeks after surgery...and so I so know what you are talking about. WOW...KitKats with icing...that sounds yummy.....ahhhh I mean disgusting...yeah disgusting..lol! No really, you are doing fine...don't worry about the weight gain, those subs have tons of sodium so some of it is water gain. Just relax and let your body do the work...so easy for me to type but Iknow its actually very hard. Good luck Sweetie!

Hey guys thanks so much on the replies...especially you JanetC...can't wait til she does something even worse...then I can sick my LBT buddies on her.:boxing: Anyway...Donna, you can join our group....we are not a "rules" kinda group so if you want to join the coolest group on LBT, we welcome ya!! LOL! You were banded on my B-Day so I have to let ya in!! Xann: Congrats on the weightloss!!!! Yea for you! Tammy: are ya feeling any better today? Hope so, you deserve some good days after the bad ones you have had! keep smiling!

I thought Mandisa did a great job with Faith Hill at the beginning....so maybe she will chose another Faith song. Kelli will probably do Martina McBride...i can see her doing that. Don't know about the rest...but it should be interesting. Sorry, I thought Kelli was 17, not 19...so now it goes from sick to a homewrecker...I really don't like her!

Hey guys...I hit my 30 pound mark today!!! I have lost 4 pounds since last wed...I know we post on Wed....but I had to let ya know. I am excited! Yippie!:dance:

Congrats to everyone...seems that everyone is on their way to band land. Keep us updated! I hit my 30 pound mark today!!!!! 30 gone forever! Yeah!!!!

Tammy...You need to breath!!! Just breath...and count!! Atleast thats what I have to do....cause I know where you are coming from. My husband pissed me off so bad yesterday...and I just about hit him with the Mini van!! Seriously....I would have hit him if he would not have moved! I know that sounds drastic but he has been so unsupportive, his family pisses me off, and I was just so angry.. I think that is something that they forget to tell you is how angry you feel at times! It is hard, but try to remain calm and not commit murder....or maybe I should take my own advice! Anway, know that I am right there with ya! We are loving ya girl!!! NOW..about my inlaws...I absolutely cannot stand my mother-n-law!!!! She is always so mean to me, and well mean to everyone. I told her I hit my 30 lb mark yesterday..and she said "Well, I will be happy when I can tell.." OH.....B-*-*-c-h!!!!!!!!!!! ugh....I was so mad...and when I told my husband, he said I was just being sensitive!! How dare he!!! GRRRRR I am getting mad all over again!

Sherry, hope that things start turning around for you. I know that I hit a time ahhh last week....that I couldn't lose and thought what the heck is going on? Just keep the right mind set and things will work out. Good louck sweetie! Wannabelean: I know what ya mean....My husband was the same way..it has gotten better, but he still does it some. Just try to ignore him and do for yourself cause you are the most important right now! Sorry gotta go..but I will catch up with the rest of ya later. Chat soon!

Janet: Hope your pain gets better. That sucks, have you checked with your Dr to make sure it is just gas? Keep us updated! The Feb bandster queen has to be alright, or I don't know what we would all do!!! For real! Sizzles: Welcom to Feb Bandsters! We are so cool! LOL...really we are! Nanster: I have taken sips of diet dr pepper a few times just cause it was in front of me...and I did fine, but it did make me burp a lot, and it filled me up to where I felt bloated. Just to let ya know. It also didn't taste as good since I hadn't had it in so long.

WOW..Papillon..thats a big truck for a honda civic, you are so lucky that you and your daughter weren't hurt worse. Goodness, sorry to hear of that!! Conrats on the weightloss, and continue to stay focused......it is so easy to eat emotionally. Good job to recognize that! Feel better fast!

WOW...what a weightloss Brenda!!! Congrats on that! I am not following a plan right now, but I just eat small portions. I just tryt o be smart about the carbs and things. I am gonna do that until I hit that big plateau that everyone seems to hit. I have thought about ww, but do the points add up to more food that we can consume? I have often wondered that! Nice to hear from ya'll again, lets keep it going.

WELCOME XANN!!! You came to a great group of people who are willing to discuss about anytihng!!! Have fun and jump right in with us! Tammy, I have often wondered that about people blaming everything on the band. Like I had bad stomach pains the other night (pretty common for me even before pre-band), but my mom was like.....is that normal? should you call the Doc. HELLO......I was sick at my stomach!!! Geez...

huh...I would be **good friends** with Chris if I was on there....wow he is hot!!! No really, she is only 17 so that would be really bad if he was doing anything crazy like that!! He is soooo hot! I was shocked at the results, not with lisa, but with Katherine. Ok....I like Bucky ok...but where is all of his fan base coming from ya think?

Hey dancer....similar experience!!! I have my good friend this week also, and I was down 2 pounds!!!! Sweet!!!! Congrats! Tammy,I am not sure what you are having going on, but my sliming was like what Janet described!! Let us know how ya are! Janet, I am so with ya on the weight thing, but I only disclose my weight on here....no one else knows! I figure that you all can relate better than anyone, and everyone else seems to judge! I love you guys! So far so good everyone.....still feeling full off of the little food I am eating. I ate 2 eggs again this morning..and for lunch I think I am going to try Lean Cuisine...about 1/2 of it. Let ya know how it goes! Chat soon!

C 179.5 (-.5) better .5 than none huh!!

You guys are awesome....((group hug)) I think this is the best thread on LBT!!! I love checking in with you all. Good news, 2 eggs filled me up today!!! Thats a first, hope it lasts! Talk to ya'll tomorrow!

Michelle, I think you did great! That food sounds like that weight should be falling off. Keep up the great work, and you will be down 25 and then some within the next 2 weeks!

Like the rest of you, I htought this was a bad week. None of them did outstanding! I think Lisa will go tonight....and I agree that Bucky and Ace will be in the bottom 3. I hope they bring it next week, because I thought this week was kind of boring.

WOW, Janet you are the bomb....I love looking at the charts. Thanks, for keeping this thread the way you do! So, I feel a differnce. I drank a protien shake this morning...and I drink alot slower, because I could feel a little bit backing up. Thats a good sign for me...thats the first time EVER..I have felt that! Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!

Hey Josette..welcome!!! If you are at peace with your decision then I am sure your mother would be too!! Your bio really made me so teary...I am so sorry for your loss of your mother! You will do great, and it sounds that your family is great also....it is so nice to have a support group. I had so many "last meals" it wasn't funny.... I gained 5 pounds from Jan 3rd...which was my first meeting to Jan. 18th just from eating everything in sight. Good luck, and try not to over do it (yea...I am the pot calling the Kettle Black)...ahhh who are we kidding...do it while you can!:eyebrows:

Sorry that site didn't work Tammy...it was funny, but o'well. Anyway, I asked my Doc about the tightness today and he said that it was probably right after I ate or something and the tightness and hardness is the food swelling that area..and that it was normal. Weird, but normal. I had my 3rd fill today. Got .4 put in. Now I am at 3.2 cc. I hope to god this helps me lose some freak'n weight. I know you all know how I am feeling...I just have to vent here, because if I vent to my family they have that look like...."i can't believe you went through everything you did, and are having trouble losing weight...isn't that what the surgery was for?" They have said it in a nicer way than that...but that is what they meant. I will not complain about this to anyone other that you all...cause you all feel where I am coming from!!! CHeck in later!!

Question?.....Does your port area get real hard and tight sometimes?Like last night, it felt hard as a rock and was so tight feeling. Is that my port area or my band ya think? Anway, it is not that uncomfortable, it just feels weird! Hope eveyone has a good day, and TAMMY..congrats on the 9.5 lost! Thats awesome!
