CLOE

Don't worry Loriely, I think I was worser (?) . I slimed after about 2-3 weeks. Hope your okay. Listen to Yoda (just this once though) eat real soft foods for a day or too.

Thanks guys, yes I feel good. The funny thing is just a short 6 months ago I hadnt even talk to a LB surgeon yet, WOW, time flies. Argon/Mandi - your making me verrrry nervous! In a pickle - Yes we do have black ones. Out of about 300 lambs we might get around 10. Usually always from white ewes and visa versa. Yes it is much better to be born a little ewe. Baby rams are sent to market, unless we sell the odd one to someone for breeding, but we dont keep them. Yes we breed the same mommy ewes, we keep records on each one, like if they breed every time, how many lambs they have, how much there lambs weighed at weaning time, etc...If they are good moms, they will stay with us forever, if not, well, its off to market for them too.

When I first came to this site a few months back, there was barely anyone on this Canadian thread. I got all my questions answered on the main forum. There were sooooo many wonderful americans there to help me. We can help you here, but sometimes the question is one that you might want more ideas or input. They have a whole lot more people on there threads. I still like to visit and post, but I feel at home here.

Me too. The thought of having my organs rearranged, was a real no-no for me. I wasnt sure if I wanted the surgery at all, becaause I was so nervous. I picked lap band because I thought if it didnt work out, I could take it out and my guts would still be normal.

Yoda, you've been everywhere. You sure you just didn't dream that you lived in all those places...lol...actually, don't laugh, I sometimes dream somethings happened only to find out weeks later it didn't. Shut up Yoda! I know your gonna say something.

Yes Kim it is awefully expensive, but if you ever do buy some you MUST buy Canadian lamb. There is no comparison between Canadian Lamb and New Zealand. Actually I try to buy everything Canadian if I can. The farmers in Canada are getting rooked. I won't shop at M&M's anymore because they import all there meat. Okay, thats my agricultural lecture for today. Class dismissed.

SSHHHHHHHH Green, not so loud, my husband will hear you!!!!!

You two, quit talking about cake:cake: mmmmmmmm. Welcome green, you will not regret your choice. Don't be nervous, just be excited. TLBC is awesome, and your support team (us) is awesome, too ......LOL...just goof'n around. Honestly, the fills are no big deal.

OMG,OMG it worked!!!!!!!!!!:whoo: I did it!!!!!!!! Now I can post my lambies next week.

Im gonna try to post some pics. I have no idea what Im doing. If it happens to work, then the blue shirt is 1 month pre-op and the other one is 3 month post op. donnabeforeandafterpictures.bmp

I think of beef and steak and that, as opposed to tuna and cheese, no? I like sheperds pie, its really heavy but no golfballing. I just realized the Mr. and Mrs. Loriely will have matching scars, aaaaawwww thats sooooooo cute.

Nope, absolutely not!!!! Everyone is nervous, this is a life altering surgery. I can only tell you it was the best decision of my life. You would have to kill me to get my band out. I also had Dr. Cobourn........LOVE HIM!!! He is sooooo awesome. You won't be let down by him. But others on our Canadian thread have had other surgeons and felt the same way. I don't think we have any bad ones around. Just need to find the one your comfortable with. Best Wishes!!

My husband says he knows a cure for cramps...................I'll let you figure it out. Alot of our southern friends coming up lately, I think there trying to defect. Some of threads are a little wild right now, Eh?

.........................ouch :Cry: I have sand in my eyes.

Anytime "just Paul" we need a little testosterine(how the hell do ya spell that) around here. LOL

I found heavier protein type foods will help, otherwise, just watch your calories(which sucks) until your next fill.

Ohhhhhh I'm feeling so much pressure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, Okay, Okay 8 lbs for September :phanvan , just to make Mandi happy:) . workout-ness?..............

Yoda!!! Give me back my shovel!!!:yell: .......................lol Congratulations kattiegirl and want2lose..who will be your surgeon? "Will it get better" yes then no then yes, how's that for an answer. In the long run definately YES and happier and hope-filled!!

Thanks Maria, I came really close! Did'nt get the last 2 pounds, but I am still thrilled. I actually wanted to be 285 for my B-day, and I have about 10 days to get there. I think I can do that!!

Woo Hoo Way to Go Mandi!!!! "Restriction is a Good Thing!!

This might seem like a real stupid thread, I'm not sure. But I have noticed that I always seem to eat the same dozen things over and over. I think it would be interesting for anyone who wants to, to post simply what we ate today. It dosent have to be great detail, but it might arise some new ideas for those of us that can't seem to figure out what to eat. And if it is really cool, we can post the recipe so we can all enjoy it. So I would start except I had take out tonight for dinner:rolleyes: ...........oh but I did have a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich for lunch...mmmm(tomatos were fresh from the garden,yum)

Sounds like a great idea. Go for the 199!!

That was a very BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAd joke!!

neenaugh, its good to know that mothers around the world can let there children go out to play. But hey, you need to start your own thred, so when you come back you can keep us all posted,ha, no pun intended:)

:laugh what in heavens name are you talking about...lol but your probably right I dont want to know:lalala:
