Welcome to the club Ali!

I don't drink coffee....but as a diabetic I definitely get dizzy when my sugar is too low..............5 weeks of liquids? I guarantee your blood sugar is too low - then you drank the cappucino and it came back up - maybe too fast? then dropped again - that would then make you dizzy. Not a doctor - just a thought. Go ahead and drink your coffee I say!

OMG ROFL!!! Only you girl!!! too funny..........but not banded even "I" have bad gas - I say go figure - must be all the exercising and rigor! I love your poem Telly :heh:

Awesome - WTG Wear your badge with pride girl! Good job everyone! we kicked some butt!

lol - thanks! I have written poetry since I was 13 yrs old -- love writing and figured I'd throw my two cents in I'm a '5-minute poet' - give me a topic and I can give you a poem in five minutes :biggrin1:

The Lap Band Gang by: Mo If you need to band it then go and get it damn it Off we go under the knife to cut down our life's strife Exercise, Water and tiny meals oh lordy we do THAT? and squeal Quit complaining and whining you know it's all in the timing With friends like these who needs food - like cheese The Love from all the supporters is all around and nowhere like LBT can you hear the sound of Way to Go! My Friend You will make it to the End We laugh, we cry some even sigh But we all know it is not a show No one here is more dear than the Lap Band Gang!

BeacheeGirl -- OMG I'm so sorry to hear about the accident. FIRST THING tomorrow morning - CALL your Insurance company back - let them know you are hurt -- most of the time they will then cover any and all expenses and then turn around and hit up the insurance of the guy who hit you - but you MUST call them before heading to the hospital or doctor! Best wishes on a fast recovery!

I made a personal decision to not eat bread - or as little as possible (unbanded as I am) -- and no garbage lol like the other stuff listed there And way back April 1st I gave up FRENCH FRIES for LIFE! yuck and double yuck - they are SO bad for you (for me anyhow) and I don't miss them one bit

P'Nut - I say PM all the people who haven't posted lately and sign it from PAT (tee hee) What do ya think Heather? Might be fun lol As far as not eating flour and sugar -- P'Nut you DID say within reason - like no extras and no cake, Cookies, etc. eh? So it isn't really all that hard -just LOOK before putting in mouth! I (SEE) P'Nut -- I say send them a PM and ask if they are still a member here

No butt kicking for me thank you! I am looking to lose AT LEAST 10 lbs in June - hoping for more! I get together with my family and mom from out of state - want to at least look like I've lost weight by 4th of July! Going for 100% on scorecard the entire month!

Thanks for posting this thread! I am not banded -- but I have lost 11.5 lbs with the help of some wonderful people on LBT. I am struggling right now since losing weight (more importantly eating healthy) with my blood sugars. I was diagnosed with type 2 about 2 yrs ago. My A1C was over 11! My last A1C was 6.3 and I think the next one may be well under 6.0 (Non-diabetic). Lately they are too low. I take Avandia (24-hour med) once a day in the AM and then Prandin (only in AM now before breakfast). I see that I may not even need Avandia anymore as I forgot to take it today and my sugars have been too low all day! Get new bloodwork at end of June - will have to watch it carefully until then. So yep - from my experience anyhow - weight loss, eating healthy, exercise all add up to LESS medicine! Now for the rest of the meds to be stopped - I can't wait! EDIT: Just a few days since this post -- everything is changing quickly. I exercise EVERY day now and no more medicine is necessary -- I'm so happy - I no longer take Avandia or Prandin and also stopped the blood pressure medicine as it was only to guard my kidneys against the diabetes -- and I was COLD all the time so I bought a blood pressure machine and it is well below 120/80 all the time so that explains my being cold all the time. Today my #s were 119, 120, 162 (ate wrong), and back down to 92 again from just walking for 1/2 hour. So yes, eating healthy and a little bit of exercise (nothing marathon-ish) will do it - it's worked for me. I can't wait to see what my A1C is at the end of June. Will report back when I get the results.

OMG Emilee -- how can you NOT see a difference! You are absolutely radiant! and of course you should be smiling in that bathing suit -- hey Telly - ya better add her pic to the poll for sexiest female!

I read just about anything and everything -- lol -- I have 'issues' too - meaning so many books stacked up to read or just finished they are about to tumble off the night stand! There is very little I won't read..........I read ALL of Patricia Cornwell's books last summer -- after being in school I was so board over the summer months -- Currently trying to read "The Constant Gardener" have to look up the author -sorry -- I saw the movie (rented it) and loved it but the book is moving along quite different from the movie - I may just ditch it and go on to something else....... I LOVED Da Vinci Code - book -- but enjoyed the movie even more!

Gotcha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Telly - then don't put your mouth near the opening - that's for sure! tee hee (me thinks this might be what Dawg was talkin bout)

ah but my sides ache - laughter is good for the soul AND for weight loss!

ROFL!!!!!! u silly girl - it's liquid weight!

P'Nut - the first link isn't working it seems.........the questions link is awesome! would you bump it please if you can (I have no idea how - I can bump many a thing but not threads lol)
