Actually Alex - not everyone can live happily here because of the poor decision of your mods - someone was forced out - and I publicly challenge the way in which you seem to be aware of how that came about. and re th statement of everything hopefully being settled and people living happily ever after..... how dare I be chastised in such a manner with that load of crap - it is degrading and pathetic.... I can't believe it. (please note this is not a personal attack - I am refuting your message not you)

I'm not understanding the need to take anything to PM instead of leaving public where it all started. This is a public site - correct? A group of people having had the same procedure (oh wait - not everyone has - make that having had, thinking about or having been revised from same procedure) talking to each other about whatever they want. Within said public site, this is a thread with the description of posting just to post which seems identical in meaning to the forum in which it belongs - in case anyone has forgotten here is the forum's description: Forum for general conversation, share interests, have a laugh or discuss anything not specifically related to banding or the LAP-BAND®. That's all I've witnessed here save the unprofessionalism of those (one in particular) supposedly moderating us. I will not take something to private that was brought out publicly - who are you to suggest I do otherwise- you have had no interaction with me ever - why start now. I am now embarrassed that I have sent more than 15 people here from my private life within the last 6 months due to their having or contemplating lap-band - no I did not do it through a link so as to get credit or have it logged somewhere. It was because I used to think this was an amazing place to come, get support, give support and enjoy a shared kinship w/ others across the country - world actually. You should be ashamed of yourself and the way this site has changed. Please inform your mod's that I am no f'ing follower - a friend - one that you will probably never have the joy of knowing - your loss!

we'll do a special class when I'm down there

funny - will check on iv supplies ironic - convention is re: organ donation and transplantation

I want a real job - revive rho I can do - I teach CPR!

Well dammit - what do I get to do?

No girl - not at all only due to geographical proximity - we'll just be all the more 'profitable' in december when you join us....yes all - I'mtaking pre-bids on videos Girl switch back - like LU said must practice! and tonight calls for it!

Ok so is there a problem if I've gone through 2/3 a bottle of rum (yes normal size) in 2 nights. Did I forget to mention they were 20 oz mojitos? Damn it's good though! :biggrin:

Oh it gets better Brandy - we wont be hidden away in the country - NOPE - out in the city for all to witness Dallas may never be the same!

Thats funny b/c my makeshift 'mojito' tonight is diet sprite, pineapple juice, mint and a whole lot of parrot bay rum - funny it's sweet just like me!

Well it could be the 2nd pineapple mojito I'm about to make - but I agree and think that should be considered when you, Lulu and I are in Dallas next week!

SNT - TYVM!!! I seriously do not know what came over me! I think the only reason I was able to say it all - is cause a lot of it I planned out - It seriously went on for that long (her tirade - my tortuous trying on of dresses) Had it been more of the spur of the moment - I might have chickened out - or stumbled over my words - but no I had about 3/4 of it already in my head) I didnt even go into all of it - some of it reminded me of stories you hear about sororities hazing pledges w/ permanent markers - lets just say there was definite pointing out of every flaw! Ooohhhhh gets me hot again just rethinking it all!

Today: B: high protein chocolate slimfast shake L: 1 chicken nugget, 2 bites yogurt, 1 chip w/ hummus (tasters at costco) D: 3 oz grilled salmon, 1/2 a baby patapan squash sauteed and couple bites roasted sweet potato also enjoying another pineapple mojito :biggrin:, and might have dessert - later - don't know what!

and a mod having assumed a post on fb was about said mod - goes to that posts and says something to the effect - well thats ok It wont hurt my feelings if someone unfriends me and if anything happens to me - my dog has a good nose - he'll find me WTF (and I don't curse) very unprofessional - I call for a banning of that mod!

Not my usual but a warning that this is long but worthy! Ok all - I have a fat girl wanna fight back story for you guys: So yes I'm shopping for the stupid cocktail dress today - needless to say first time ever buying a dress from a store where I could be one of like 4 different sizes (drove me crazy) - needless to say I was in the dressing room for a while. Well it became very hard to ignore the vocal interactions between a mother and daughter like 4-5 rooms down. No less than 5 times I heard the mother say :"Well if you weren't such a fat cow maybe it would be easier to find you a dress" it got to the point where several times I could hear the girl just sobbing and saying "please don't say that mom - that hurts me so much - I know I have a problem - I'm trying. Can we please just go home- I wont go to the dance" So I'm about livid at this point, and I can hear several other people in the dressing room (I bet the daughter could as well) making comments in their rooms - b/c everyone could hear. Now I saw them walk into the room - the girl was adorable and was trying on 12-16's and the mom was not much different in size (maybe 10-12) I thought about just walking away - but I couldnt - not after I heard the girl say she wouldn't go to the dance. So I waited for them to come out and as soon as the mom opened the door I started: I first turned to the daughter and said "sweetheart you are beautiful and I hope you go to your dance and I apologize if what I am about to say embarresses you any further." I then turned to the mom and said "I dont know if I have ever been so embarressed in my life as you have probably just made your daughter feel in this room. You should be ashamed of yourself - do not ever talk to her like that again. You should cherish her and realize what a beautiful gift she is." ...Now at this point you can imagine the look she has on her face and her finger raises..... to which I raise my hand and and tell she can shut up until I am done - which I am not (didnt hurt that I was kinda blocking the exit.) :biggrin: Then I continued: "You are no barbie doll and have no business degrading her - not only because it's incorrect but she is your daughter dammit" ...at this point she gets out: "mind you're own fucking business....big shock right - like I wasn't expecting that I told her "actually I am - because when my ears and those of everyone in this fitting room are polluted with your filth and venom - you made it my business" Thats it girls - except the best part - the look on the daughter's face when I was making the last statement - I knew she was still embarressed but she smiled it looked like she was grateful. I could be totally wrong and ruined her day even more - but I couldn't walk away - not after that. I'm really surprised the mom didnt try to hit me - I think she was too shocked that someone stood up to her - who knows - just the way I read the situation. (Didn't hurt that 2 people were applauding from their rooms)

Let's double team them - no one ever suspects me!

Glou - I didnt want to say anything - but well......you did open the door....I didnt think your shoes would be the only thing! :biggrin: ?SUperwoman? - I think you are all super crazy - dont know what you're talking about

Well Glou - I am dandy! I am going to a work conference next week and will work the 5 nights in a row right before I leave. I need to go find a cocktail dress/semi-formal - for the awards gala night of the convention (never really enjoy shopping - but should be interesting since I've never been down at this weight shopping for a nice dress = bat wings will be the problem!) Hope everyone else is enjoying their monday! OH - and I'm contemplating getting an iphone - my pocket book is not going to be happy today.....

I was earlier - way past toasted - not so much anymore sadly - I'll start again if there are other takers though! I sober too easily!

You know - speaking of vices - I really don't drink that often (seriously - I mean it) but - I don't think I even tasted the 2nd mojito I drank tonight b/c it wa sgone before I knew it - but the 3rd one is FANTABULOUS!

LOL...........Nah - my teeth are too pretty!

Screw the crack - it's my meth and heroine (thats the severity of it's hold over me) I might need an intervention!

Yesterday: (big exercise day) B: muscle milk lite chocolate shake S: balance bar L: chili w/ cheddar S: too many barbecue chips D: 2.5 oz grilled salmon, 2 roasted mushrooms, garlic & fontina raviol, w/ roasted garlic cream sauce - Yummy! S: too much ben & jerry's (my special treat) Today: B: muscle milk lite chocolate shake L: 2 oz smoked chicken thigh, couple bites baked beans, chips S: too much trail mix D: 2.5 oz grilled sea bass, couple zucchini fries, some raw purple and orange bell pepper and couple bites roasted sweet potato. oh yeah - and large pineapple mojito!

Absolutely - most do!

Slim - just a thought - have you had your BP checked recently? Now it could have been just one of those days - but maybe w/ wt loss your BP is regulating itself better and you dont need meds anymore - happens all the time and so when you take it - youre actually dropping your pressure too low = feeling lack of energy. Check w/ your Dr. But again it could have just ben an off day - anyways I hope you feel better tomorrow!
