CLOE

Congrats on your surgery date!!! Crosby, Cobourn and Mumford, lol, sounds like a rock band!

Only a reporter who weighs 300 lbs, or has weighed 300 lbs should write a article on weight loss surgery, otherwise, blah, blah, blah. I would be interesting if a study could have been done on what would happen to the same 32 people had they NOT got the surgery. Heart attack, stroke, diabetes.......??????? If this country is going to keep allowing companys to produce sugar-laced drinks, lunch-sized chocolate bars and chips disguised as childrens Snacks, 5 drive-thru's on every city block, vending machines in schools, commercials for crap food claiming it is PART of a complete meal, etc, etc......then they had better get use to the line-ups of people waiting for weight loss surgery. We can't have one without the other. The rest of the world should shut-up if they don't know what it's like to to overweight, some metalbolisms can take it, most can't!!

Ohhhh, Maria, I'm late....' :happybday: :note2: :note2:Happy Birthday to you :note2: :note2: :note2: :note2: Happy Birthday to you :note2: :note2: :note2: :note2:Happy Birthday dear Mariaaaaa :note2: :note2: :note2: :note2: Happy Birthday to yooooooou :note2: :note2: :note2: ........and many mooooore :note2:

Doddie, like Yoda says, this is the same as any other thread, all are welcome. There was just a handful of us that all started our own threads just so that there would BE threads at this site. Ex: Maria's memos etc..I just thought it would be easier to have general conversation on ONE thread as opposed to 6-10. Thats all!! Wheezy, maybe just a smidgeon fill will help you. And yes my band is very weird (like me), one day hardly anything, the next alot. Oh, for those of you that have been following my saga...lol.... my eldest daughter is moving back this week. Apparently, life is tough out there. In case any of you guys did'nt know that.lol.

Thanks everyone. Wheezy, I've been squeaky!! I have even FINALLY figured out a way to get through the maze and reach a supervisor. The problem is, the supervisor never answers and you always get there voice mail. So I have left 6 messages asking for them to call me, they never do. I'm pissed. I am locked into a plan until July 2009!!!!!! They will give me $200.00 towards a new phone but then I have to sign up for another 3 years. SCREW THAT!!! BTW, my plan is for 4 phones, so it's not like just a couple of dollars. I hate them!!!! Oh, that felt better:) . I feel a couple pounds lighter getting that off my chest!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....to much pressure:boom: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yes, your in Mandi!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss 'oldtimer'. Tee Hee. I do mean like last spring when there was nothing here. I just thought it would be easier to communicate through one general thread for our general lives, instead of trying to go look for our threads(3 pages back). Oh, and yes, Canadian, I do mean Canadian.:canada:

Thanks becca!!! :girl_hug:

How ya doin, Loriely???:hug:

Is it milk??? Is it good??? And where do I sign up???

EEEEK, I was thinking 20 grams(I don't know why). I better watch, I'm very tight and not eating a whole heck-of-alot right now. I start with a boost for breakie, it has 15 grams, after that it's just whatever I'm eating that day. Does anyone from CANADA know another drink than boost thats better than 15 grams but still low in calories??? I say 'CANADIANS', only cause Canada is VERY limited to what we can get, I still luv the rest of the world.:girl_hug:

:cheer2: :cheer2: FANTASTIC YODA:cheer2: :cheer2: Thats great news, Congratulations!!!!

Ditto on all above. I am very very tight right now, but I can still eat bread. I have to chew it for sooooo long that it really isnt worth it. But it's nice to know I can if I absolutely have to.

Well, I never do well on these goals, but now that I finally feel restriction again, I will say to get under 250. 'crossing fingers'

Hey Guys, thanks, yes finally feeling some restriction!!! Awwwwwwe your sooo sweet Mandi. "1000th"

Congratulations emmasmom!!!

Mandi.......You got a bandaversary coming up. We will be expecting side by side pics of before and after of beautiful you. No pressure.:biggrin1:

WTG Dave!!!! Very exciting for you! Im sure you won't regret it, and your right, this is a great place to come for support. Welcome!!

Congratulations Nancy!!!!! 2 sizes is amazing, WTG!!!!

Green, your a brave girl, congrats!!!! Thanks Wheezy, so far so good!!

Ohhh, I hear ya Doriana!!! I am the junk food queen!!! I also have phases where I eat crap. I think the reason that it slides threw the band so easy is that, it isnt really food at all!! lol. I just remember before getting banded wanted to be thin, but I also wanted to get healthy(hitting 40 an all). So I try to put it all together and get threw those nasty phases as quick as possible. But your not alone!!!

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Yeah, Loriely. GReat News!!!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Mandi, I love it when you feel the need to educate us!!!!

Hey all!!! I had to read threw two pages of posts to get caught up. Glad to here your feeling better Mandi! Glad you back Neenaugh!! When I was down in the city, I slipped in another fill. 2.5 cc's, feel this one!!! . BTW Mandi, nice score on the bed!!!

No regrets!!!!
