*slim*

You too G4E. If your Costco doesn't have it, I have seen it at Walmart in their yogurt section.

Good idea! She has been mooching off of us since she moved around the corner. You can't tell me that wasn't her plan when she moved. She didn't call at before she moved, now her number is on the caller id every freaking day! It is sickening!

She has some major cajones!

Yay about the job! That is great! Ok, it is 8:30 and MIL has already called asking for cigs! DH seemed to think I would find it funny that she has been calling for 3 days. I told him that as the bill payer in this house, I don't find it funny and that she needs to quit smoking if she can't afford to buy them. He is now upset with me. I don't care today. That is not the kind of crap that you want to wake up to!:confused:

Way to go G4E!

Maybe seeing you is what made him start thinking about adding both? I can't see him having you come in just for giggles and grins, so let's stay positve!

it bothers me too. I thought about what if I have to go to another doctor? I sound ignorant about something that is in my body. Don't get me wrong, I see their side too. I know that they don't want us hung up on how much we have in our bands, but it is still info that I think we should be able to ask for and get without a problem.

That recipe sounds good! yesterday- b-coffee w/splenda, low carb slim fast s-babybel l-LJS fish d-lean lunch ham, babybel, blueberry yoplait light Today- b-nonfat carmel latte, yoplait light blueberry l-lean lunch ham, babybel, yoplait strawberry d-ground beef and salsa

Hi BBK! Ebony & Beth, I am thinking of you both! Hi Heartfire, Fanny, G4E, and Mac! Luluc-I hope that you are having a wonderful time on your trip!

You can ask him. He might tell you. He told me once, but he doesn't like to tell. He said that he doesn't want us to get caught up in the numbers. I am sure it won't be much fill though. He likes to build on them a little at a time.

:tt1: I hope you get over those migrains soon. I haven't evern experienced one, but I worked with a lady that had them badly. She passed out during a training class from the pain.

Beth and Ebony-praying, chanting, ancient nekkid rain dancing, etc... for both of you in your interviews. I would suggest you not imagine me doing the nekkid dance for fear you out right laugh during the interview. Much success to you both!

cmexlr8, I would get that fill too. I didn't have enough restriction to not be hungry between meals until maybe after my 3rd. I am scheduled for my 7th fill next week.

My insurance does cover it. They have allowed a certain number of visits for a year. She offers techniques for dealing with my relationship with food. She also has been helping me get to the bottom of why I turned to food in the first place. I am a stress/emotional eater, so I knew that I was never going to be successful with the band, or anything else diet related,if I didn't get help. I am currently a work in progress. I hadn't been in a while and could really tell that I am not doing the things that she and I talked about. I did really good the first few months, but I can tell that I am not doing that right now. I called to make myself an appointment.

I don't mind at all. She is in private practice. Her name is Jan Sherbak. I googled doctors in this area that deals with eating disorders.

Doing the happy dance for you! I have it on the desktop computer in the kitchen and on my iPhone! It is awful!

I hope you are better soon. You might want to try to do the hot beverage before all of your meals for a while just to help. yesterday- b-slim fast low carb s-babybel l-slim fast low carb, pudding cup d-salmon, green beans (hubby cooked for me!)

I have seen a therapist since surgery. I need to make another appointment. I found one that specializes in eating disorders. Even the few sessions that I went to helped.

I will have to check these out. I have rigged my straps with other things to keep them from falling off my shoulder all of the time. Thanks for the info!

Neither do I. Thanks punkster. How are you feeling?

I am glad that know that I am not the only one that feels that way. I want the band to work, but I don't want to be miserable and unable to eat. I just can't imagine that feeling. I don't want to experience it at all.

That is strange. I had a similar situation a couple weeks ago. I PB'd more than once in two days, but now I am wide open. I haven't had any trouble eating. I have been starving! I am scared that if I get a fill and then have one of those varying days, I am screwed! I am so scared of that. Do they charge you a copay when you have to have an unfill?

There seems to be a delicate balance between starvation and too tight. I know that doesn't take much to cross the line from one to the other. That is why I am so scared of getting a fill even though I know I need it.

Have a safe trip, Tap! We will miss you!
