Hey Tracy, It was good talking to u the other day. thanks, and I'll be thinking of you when they put me to sleep!

I agree with every one Vines, your an important part around here please don't leave permenantly....you would be sorely missed.

I read this book around 5 years ago i think, and i remember that it was also a very moving story. I remember there were some parts that shocked me, like the anal sex part. But the truth of the book is that this girl suffered some major drama, and just becoming skinny didn't fix all her problems. I liked the book.

Welp, if you guys can find some data to back up your second hand obesity theory then maybe we can be in business!

Christina, maybe you can ask one of the moderators to pull the photos off the deleted thread from their section. I'm sure they would be happy to help you out.

Well, I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I agree with HarleyNana, I think the names should be posted. At any rate, I'd like to do a 4th of July exchange....is it to early to start a thread?

lol, mine always want to be near the humans, and their favorite place is on top of my lap top, so I keep shoving them over. It's almost impossible to get any work done!

Damn Susan, how horrible that women did that, I would have looked back at her and said the same thing..then asked her if she was doing any thing for all her wrinkles.... I know I should be polite and I totally agree with Vines, but there is just a certain point when a person can't take no mo! As of yet I have always responded politely but I got some good ideas from you guys!

Just some extra change from my 2 cents - most other forums don't allow users to delete threads, and most people here on LBT probably aren't even aware of the feature until now, and like Alex said, once more people are aware we may see many many more threads disappearing and that could be very disruptive to the board itself. And again.. I will reiterate that nothing is ever REALLY deleted. You guys can go about deleting all the post you want, but the moderators can still see them on their side of the forum, and any one with a bit of internet savy can look up the cached files on google. Deleting it from here does nothing to remove it from the public eye. When you post on line no matter what you post you should remember that the internet is public and a million people could be reading what you post. You should always post assuming that a million people ARE reading it.

I agree...I know this may sound a bit greedy, but I spent my money and did my part to participate, and I have yet to receive any thing, or even a pm to let me know something was sent. I also feel bad for those of you who see your recipient posting in other places, but they didn't post here on the thank you thread. My recipient was kind enough to post here and send me a thank you pm. I'm feeling a bit bummed out about it because I was excited about getting something from the US. I'd really like to do a 4th of July exchange as well, but I'm not sure if people would be willing considering the way this exchange has gone. Of course this is the first exchange I have participated in. Maybe it's always like this?

Hey guys, Thanks for the support it means a lot. I'm feeling a bit better this morning and I have bean and artichoke soup for lunch, that soup always fills me up right away so I should be fine. I also found these little yogurts that are suppose to help suppress your appetite for 4 hours. (ought to get a good 2 hours a least from them!) Plus I slept in until 11:00am today so I missed breakfast! I drank a yogurt (they have these nice start up ones that are orange and Fiber and some other energy ones that have pineapple and ginseng and fiber) Portuguese are crazy for yogurts so at least I have that. FunnyDuddies: hehe thats actually not a bad idea. I should do what PhotoNut did and photo shop one of my photos to see myself thin.

Hi there, I currently live in Portugal but I'm from the Orlando area, and I visit home frequently! In fact I'll be home in September.

awwww.....I feel the same way :biggrin1: except I wish lbt would quit crashing on me!

Hey Susan, Way to go! Thats great! I can't wait until I see 18's because I still have a whole closet full of them!

Just my 2 cents.....but on ever other forum I have ever been to including the ones I moderate as well as the ones my husband moderates, the only people who can delete entire threads are the moderators and the admin. The only exception is when there is a thread with out a reply. If some one creates a thread they can only delete it if no one else has replied. I think its unfair that some one can delete an entire thread that they started just because they don't like the response or because what they posted is to personal. This is a public forum ONLINE for goodness sake. You shouldn't post things here that you don't want others to know. I was very shocked to learn here on LBT they allow people to delete their own threads. It's not fair to all the other people who spent time and energy replying. And besides all that, if LBT is like any of the other forums I moderate no post is ever deleted permanently. The moderators and admins have a whole other section on the forum only available to them. And deleted posts get saved there any way. And not only that, google saves a cache of almost everything that exists in the internet, all you have to do is search and find the cache...which means I can still read the Da Vinici Code thread.....:speechles For more info on that see this thread. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5047

no fair, guys get to eat more calories! That test sounds really informative, so what are the details? How is it done?? What is the avg. range?

Any one wanna come in and chat with me? :blah:

Hey guys, I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow, but my doc didn't mention how much or how often to eat. Only something about every 2 hours. I have the following things available to me, can some one tell me when to eat it and how much? I have yogurts (liquid ones in all different flavors) Soups (creamy soups and chicken noodle type soups) and Protein shakes (vanilla, chocolate, and tropical flavor) and natural fruit jucies, apple, and orange.

ahh...hehe...well...yah....we are all so opinionated around here! :biggrin1:

ahh... I didnt know that ......I didn't notice any threads missing though, just the Da Vinci one, but I thought that one got moderated.....

I thought only moderators and the admins could delete entire threads....:confused:

I don't think LBT has a instant message feature. If you want that, you need to make sure the both of u have a messaging program like MSN messenger, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) or Yahoo messaging. And get each others contacts. If your a bit more computer savy, there is a program called Trillian that allows you to use all 3 messaging programs on just one application. (which is what I use) They have a free version and a paid version. Apart from that here on LBT there is just the pm's or the pager. Trillian web page. http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/

I have been happily married for 2 years now, although we dated for 6 years before getting married. I can't imagine my life with out him, and I have always been big, so like some others I can't wait to show him the new me. We actually didn't have a wedding (I wish we did but because of distance constraints and money we didn't) but my family did give us a cruise for a honeymoon and it was great! Here are a few photos. Hugo looks kinda funny in this one because hes faking a smile...:biggrin1: These 2 were taken on the cruise ship

Hey, yeah is that ok to do? Can our bunnies pm us to tell us they sent it but its late? At least then we would know we weren't forgotten.

Hey Vines, that all sounds really great! Now I just need to get me a yard! :faint: (darn apartments..mumble grumble....)
