Sorry SNAFU

Speaking of Boobies, My very well endowed grandmother one day decided to stop wearing a bra. I think she got tired of hooking it in the front and twisting it around to the back, then stretching the straps to get them on. When she was no longer able to care for herself because of dementia, she starting living with my mom. One day my brother caught her going out the front door and heading down the side walk. She had tried to put a shirt on and put her head through her sleeve hole, and her right arm throuh the head hole. Well you guess it, her big old boob was hanging out for God and everybody to see... plus she forgot to put her pants on. He ask her where she was going...she said the post office. He told her she better get finished dressing first and led her back in the house. My mom locked the doors after that.

chicken? I never heard it called that! I personally like the term Dr. Bailey on Grey's Anatomy called it... VaJayJay I too do not wear underwear to bed, since my mother-in-law told me it was healthy to air out down there. I once told my younger hairdresser about not wearing underwear to bed. She said "Oh No, then my husband would think he had free access anytime he wanted it." I said, "Don't you think if he had it anytime he wanted it he wouldn't want it so often." She said, "I never thought about that." Reverse Psychology...what do you think?

I am curious about this no underwear business. Please answer the following questions if you do not wear underwear. 1. Are you over the age of 30? 2. Do you have children? Why you ask? I am 45 and ever since I have been at least 30 and had two children, I can't sneeze, cough, or laugh hard without peeing my pants. Not a flood, just a little. The cotton crotch panties will usually stop the leak from penetrating the outer garments. On some occasions I have to wear a light day pad because I seem to be a little leaky. My doctor told me this is normal! So if you answer yes to question 1 & 2, are you super human, are do you practice your keigel exercises everyday? I have got to know your secret!

Two week liquids, two weeks mushies, two weeks semi solids, then time for a fill. After the fill, I think 3 days liquids, 3 days mushies, 3 days semi solids. Count your calories. Don't eat or drink any empty calories. Eat Low Sugar, Only Good Carbs, High Protein, Fruits and Vegies. Drink your Water. Exercise. All this will spell SUCCESS!

Babs in TX, So what do you wear when you leave the house? I hope not a dress on a windy day!

I hope your son's surgery went well...both eyes! Keep walking it helps with the GAS!

Hey! I'm glad you didn't ask this question yesterday. I was wearing the twin to today's panties except it had a hole in the left side that I kept catching my finger in when I would pull them up from my 5000 trips to the potty. Victoria Secrets!!!! Do they sell panties in XXL now? I haven't been able to wear anything from there in years!

K@t , you and I are better off without those evil diet busting Girl Scout Cookies. I had bought a case of those Carmel Delights/Samoas. I ate all but one box before I had to start my diet. Thank God someone in my family took my last box before I was able to eat again.

I was detoxing off Girl Scout Cookies for the first 3 days of my pre-op diet. I thought I was going to die, but I made it through it and the rest of the 2 weeks was a breeze.

Cheeseburger and fries call my name! I haven't had any in almost 8 weeks now.

Your health is the most important thing here! Find out what is going on before banding. Praying for proper diagnosis of problem, proper treatment, and complete healing so you can get your band!

Imt33167, I was in an Airport ladies restroom and I came out to wash my hands. Right be side me a lady had taken off her top (no bra) and was washing her long underarm hair in the sink. Gross! She should have shaved and worn deoderant!

Post surgery blues are a mother! I didn't feel like myself mentally or physically for at least 2 weeks. My birthday was Tuesday. I was actually bummed about not doing the usual Birthday routine at The Cheesecake Factory. I was rewarded the next day with a 3 pound loss for the week that helped. My husband is taking me out Saturday for a special day. NO MORE REWARDING MYSELF WITH FOOD!!!

I am wearing stretched out cotton crotch pink Lycra panties that I have to keep pulling down over my right butt cheeck, because it rides up in my crack. The elastic comes up so high on my stomach that it almost coves up my port scar. My Bra makes up for my undies. I have a Strapless Beige Lane Bryant Bra only one month old. It is formed so it can stand up in the corner by itself, which I like because the only bra I have that my nippies don't show through. It has so much underwire it pulls the girls up off my panties and midway my upper arm just like Oprah's $72 bra. Mine was on sale for $19. Besides that I have a Cozumel Mexico Yellow Sundress on and I am barefoot. TMI?

Kelliebelly your going to have to change your name to KellieNoBelly&PerkyBoobies YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DARLING!

MelAnne, Hey Neighbor! I am here for you! My first week was kinda rough. I wouldn't have made it without support from LapBandTalk. Who did your surgery? I had mine at the SurgiCenter in Houston with Dr. Richard Collier. He has an office in Conroe and in The Woodlands. I go for my first fill next Tuesday.

MelAnne, I am 6 weeks post-op next Tuesday. I have lost 23 pounds and gone from a size 20 to a normal size 16. I am 5'4". It is possible for you to get to a 14/16, but you need to count your calories. The first 4 weeks I was getting an average 800 calories a day. I bumped it up to 1100 to 1200 after that because I was feeling run-down. Make sure you drink 48 - 64 ounces of Water. I wasn't getting enough water and my weight loss slowed to one pound a week. I have gotten all my water in for the past week and lost three pounds....see the difference! Best of Luck to you, and don't feel bad. You will be healthier losing your weight slowly, and your skin will have time to shrink with you.

Tops always optional.

I love the Lane Bryant Strapless Bra. Also comes with straps. Less then half the price of Oprah's bra and usually on sale. I have my 20 year old daughter 40DD wearing then now.

Double D's and Larger get in free!

How about used panties drop off box here.

I am always so anal I don't noticed normal changes going on around me, so I sure wouldn't notice anything abnormal! For all I know I could have a family of spirits living with me... I always blame everything on the cats anyway.

My inserts are psychedelic green, and my right one is thicker then my left one. I wish they were black or brown so they would blend in better. I can't wear sandles because they show too much and slip out the back. Forget about dress shoes. I can wear a clog like shoe as long as it has enough lip on the back to keep my inserts from falling out. I also have to wear a larger shoe because of the inserts. My favorite brand of shoes now is Munro. I get them at Nordstrom's.

Thank you Xan77! It felt weird not going to the Cheesecake factory for a big Pig-out on Cheesecake for my Birthday. :happybday: I was rewarded with a 3 pound loss this morning for the week. I don't think I have ever lost weight in my birthday month before...LOL:clap2:
