I agree. People were losing weight without them before and people can still lose weight without it now.:clap2:

I just wanted to make sure that everything was alright. The last thing that I wanted to do was offend anyone on this website. Many blessings for your soon-to-be here child. -
I totally agree with you 100%. I say we just keep doing what works and costs us less.

Can You Slip an Unfilled/Never-Been-Filled Band???

:)In no way did I mean to imply that you or your husband were too ignorant to prevent pregnancy, and if you took it that way I will apologize for that. :embarassed:Alternative birth control is cool, and I can understand why you and your husband would choose that. So, good luck with your sunshine and we can keep in touch through here if you'd like. -
:rolleyesI've heard of Herbalife, matter of fact I used to use it. It works really good the first time you use it, but as soon as you try to eat like a burger or something really good you're screwed because you will gain that weight back like 3 times over. The reason why she went into the whole detail with you about how much money and everything they make is because they are always looking for distributors. And that is good for them because as long as you sell for them, they make money right along with you. Of course you make this amount of money, but the majority of theirs will come from the people under them who sell. Not quite a pyramid, but...? In my opinion it is really no better than what we are doing now to lose weight, as far as watching what we eat, but theirs will cost quite a bit more and take about the same time losing weight as with our "natural" weight loss. "Natural" meaning that after our surgery we have enough sense to stay away from the stuff that is no good for us. I hope this helped a little.:clap2:

Dana, I don't mean to be nosy or force my opinion onto you, but why were you not on some sort of birth control to prevent pregnancy? Especially if you are implying that you want to get the weight off? I don't want to come off as if I am trying to judge you, I was just wondering. Because if you are truly wanting to lose weight after the baby is born who is to say that you may not get pregnant again and slip right back into old habits? -
:cry You guys...I failed!! Friday I had a sip of my dang Seagram's Ginger Ale to take my MS medicine. I couldn't believe it!! I am so used to normallly taking a sip to swallow my pills that I forgot. 3 days w/o the dang soda and then boom!! forgot and now I am back to square one. That sucks!! So today I will work on finishing my Seagram's Ginger Ale and then tomorrow start all over on my 30 day chips.

I actually live in Little Elm, which is on the other side of Frisco and Plano close to Lewisville. I wouldn't mind getting together sometime. It'd be nice to get together with someone else who actually does understand what I am going through. Who is living it and who is not just saying that they understand. 3 Days without my Seagrams Ginger Ale and totally missing it.:help: But I can do it. I'm like Eddie Murphy in the Nutty Proessor,"Yes I Can!":clap2:

I got banded in June of '05. After months and months of cheating I finally decided to stop cheating and do things right. I started exercising and eating right and NEWSFLASH I started to lose weight. :rofl: My surgery was done by Dr. Cribbins in Plano, TX. He is a great doctor!! I love his office, his staff is great!! They were all very helpful and supportive. I have had 2 fills and I have found that I have a hard time stomaching cheese unless it is in cheese eggs, or like shells and cheddar. If it is cool with everyone else I would like to join the chip club. I could do without my Seagrams Ginger Ale. I rarely drink booze anymore, and just the smell of chocolate makes me nauseaous.
