More gifts should be coming in soon. Remember if for any reason you can't fulfill your working stiff duties please pm me so we can get a substitute on the job. Thanks!

Does that mean I'm going to lose my commission Penni??:guess :biggrin1:

I got one too, and its a site sponsored by inamed so I think it could be a good resource. If you have previously gone to the inamed website and registered, that's how they got your e mail. And you can use your user name and password from the inamed registration to log onto the site. The website is www.lap-band.com

What did ya get amy??

Hey Sherri, Glad you like it! I couldn't think of any thing work related because you own a restaurant, so I figured whats a business owner need after a long day of work? Something to pamper themselves with. You better open it and you better use it!!!! Treat urself! So glad you like it.

Some on here, I think it was Iziksmom mentioned getting bracelets for bander's, something like banded and beautiful..... just wondering whatever happened to them?

I substituted in Florida and I was required to get finger printed and have a background check before I was allowed to teach. And I was required to attend a training session. One time I didn't substitute for more then 3 months and I had to do the entire thing over again, if you don't sub for 90 days they kick you out of the system. As for the story. What goes around comes around and who ever is responsible has to answer to a higher power.

my mom went to moffit to have her cancer treated. How is your weight loss going?

Hey Ali way to go!!! an hour and a half walking around wow thats great! I can't believe how well your doing...well actually, I can because you have been so dedicated! Love the last part. You and I know good and well how it feels for people to think we dont understand the native language. Good for you showing them. Maybe next time I'll have the balls to do that as well. Big hug for ya! :hug: ps. get your butt back on msn! I miss talkin to ya!

Hey people, This is mostly just a rant but if any one has any thing to add please do. I have been obese my entire life. And it had become such a problem that I had surgery to help me overcome that difficulty. My husband was a bean pole until we married. Since we got married he has steadily gained weight. He is now what is considered borderline "fat" not obese by any means. 190lbs 6ft. but he has a pretty big tummy, little to no muscle, the doctor told him to exercise and lose a little fat and gain a little muscle Tonight i fried him 2 eggs for dinner, 3 slices of ham and 2 slices of buttered toast with a mug of chocolate milk. This is not a normal dinner,it was ment as a treat because I came home really late and to make up for it I made him one of his favorites. When he was finished he said he was still hungry. I asked him if he wanted me to cut him some fruit, or if he wanted a yogurt. No, instead he got a bag of chips and ate the entire bag. He keeps complaining about how fat he's gotten. His brothers wedding is next month and his suit that we bought last year doesn't fit, we have to buy a new one. But yet every chance he gets he will eat something bad. Every time we go out to eat he stuffs himself until he's sick. He eats everything his mother wouldn't let him have when he lived at home, every chance he gets. To boot, his parents blame it all on me. It's me and my "American" food thats making him fat. You think I would be more understanding because of my own problems. I know it's hard, and I understand it's hard. But I'm at a loss for as what to do or how to help him. It's hard enough dealing with my own weight issues and now this.......

thanks yoda, sorry bout that....

ahhh vacation....*drool* :biggrin1:

I've been drinking soda when I shouldn't have and I ended up with really bad pain on my side which I am assuming was gas. When I stopped drinking it I felt a lot better. I drink flavored water and crystal light and some times unsweet tea when I need something with flavor.

Paula, our husbands must be long lost twins or something.......hugo told me the other day he was "tired of starving in this house". I told him to go back to his momma's house then.:heh:

I think that some husbands probably do try to sabatoge their wives, but I know my man and hes to selfish for that. He rarely thinks of me (christmas and birthdays are a nightmare!) and I'm sure he's buying the chips because he wants them and he's just not thinking that it might be difficult for me to have them in the house as well. ahh well, we have talked about it some more and he has promised that when we get back from vacation we are both going to start trying harder.

Yeah, my mom lives in Winter Haven, and its like 25 min to Orlando and 45 to Tampa so its a great in between place. I was banded in April and I'm not doing so well, I need to get the exercise in. I'm sure I'll do better when I get that going! I'm coming to Florida on the 31st of this month and staying for 3 weeks for a visit with my family, then we are planning on moving some time next year after we sell our house here.

Congratulations on your surgery date. Every hospital is different and every place has different rules and regulations. You should speak to your doctor and ask them what to expect. As for what to expect after, every one is different, but expect a bit of discomfort and a lot of people have gas pains afterwords. The recovery is usually quite quick most people are back to work with in a week. If you have more specific questions just ask.

lol...hehehe....she went on vacation and when she got back she was really tired. I haven't heard from her since the day after she got back so I'm kinda worried....

:heh: Thats funny! Ok so some I've gotten. my mother in law EVERYDAY "so how much weight have you lost today?" my mother after seeing me 3 months after surgery "shouldn't you be skinny by now?" don't you need another surgery so they can adjust it? Mostly everyone who knows I have had the surgery expects to see miraculous results and even though I've only been banded 3 months they all keep looking at me in disappointment when they can't see a huge difference as if since I had the surgery I should now be skinny. :huytsao The only person who understands is my grandfather he keeps saying..a lb or 2 a month is good progress don't push yourself, don't lose to fast etc. lol. I think he's afraid I'll lose to much and get too skinny...as if!:guess

ohh...another thread killer...when people who decide they no longer want to read a thread....decide to post on the tread...announcing to every one, that they no longer care to read it and are going else where....ummm...if you dont want to read and u want to go some where else...then do so...announcing it on the thread just gives the thread another bump up the list. :speechles ps. this thread is funny, me likes!

Well for now we aren't sure it depends on where we get job offers. But the idea is some where around Polk county because my mom lives there, or down in Charlotte county because my grandparents live there. My husband favors Orlando though he really liked it there when we go on vacation, so maybe we will end up there as well! I see you have lost 76lbs way to go!:clap2:

Hey guys thanks so much. I think this is the direction I need to go. Also chips are a trigger and I try not to buy them, but he goes and gets them some place else any way.
