My sister can't eat banannas either so she ought three jars of babyfood. I am so excited.. 13 lbs is AWSOME!!! good job funny.. so are you going to do it again next week?

Ok so when I first heard about this I was like "won't work". So I tried it today because I was craving something sweet like mad (TOM) 1 can of peach diet rite 1 low fat/low carb yellow cake 10 mini marshmellow 1 can of peaches in own juice FF cool whip You mix cake and diet rite together, no eggs, no oil, ect... just the can coke. Before you pour cake batter in pan arrange the marshmellows on the bottom of your pan. ( I also line some of the peaches on the bottom but only a few) The rest of the peaches I blended to make a sauce and poured 1/3 over the cake. Bake the cake. (while it is baking the marshmellows rise slowly and the fruit goes to bottom. This makes the cake super moist and gooey.) Once it's done I toped my piece w/ FF cool whip. OH MY GOSH IT WAS GOOD.. My family loved it.... You can also do a chocolate cake with diet coke. Just add the marshmellow and use cool whip as a topping. I am such a fruit person I think I am going to do a choclate one next with cherries in it. That sounds so good..... YUMMMMMMMM

There called SWEET REWARDS They sell it at my walmart

LOL you noticed I used diet rite.. I only use things with slenda in them.. Not sure if thats what you were talking about but anyways.. I know about the diet I start tomorrow, My Soup is cookin now, it smells yummy!!!!

I bought my stuff today and I am starting tomorrow, I have talked my sister and mom in doing with me so we are all doing it together. we went shopping today together and we decided to go to TCBY tonight to kick off the week.. lol (maybe it will keep us from cheating LOL) ok I can't wait to see how much you've lost FUNNY. every body keep up the good work....

Any one interested? I know before I started working out on a regular basis it was hard for me to get motivated and GET UP OFF MY HINNY and just do it. Even though after I work out I feel 100% better about myself and I usually make much better choices with food that day. (because I don't want to have worked out for nuttin) This morning I did 45mins of cardio on a cross trainer? What have you done today?

My dr. said absolutly no babies for 18 months. After that go for it...

Honey, I am 6'2 and 315 lbs. I am not flexable at all..... At least I wasn't when I first started, but now I have noticed that my legs and arms go much higher now. Its more strengh training aganst you own body weight. PM ing you !

I love pilates, it is hard work. I do it 3 times a week, but its taken me two months to get to that. the 1st time i did it i was sore for a week. I have the whole set begining to advanced. i am still in the begining stage...

ROFLAO!!! Kids are so funny sometimes. We adopted a dog form the animal shelter a few months ago, Her name is roxy. A few days ago she ate my husband food off his plate when he got up from the table to get a drink. Well of course the kids thought it was hilarious, but my DH was not so thrilled. My son said daddy, roxy ate up all your dinner! And my DH replied with " Yep. I think we should take her back to the store" We all laughed and forgot it. Then my middle son (3yrs) got in trouble yesterday, After his punishment, I asked him if he was going to be good for mommy? He said "if I'm bad will you take me back to the pet store? " I was at a loss for words? But I did reasure him we don't take back pets or family...

Tired old man, My CHRIST said "I knew you BEFORE you were born." My Christ is PERFECT. My CHRIST makes no mistake. God made life, no you. So isn't it safe to say GOD decides death. It is hard for me to understand how a CHRISTIAN as yourself would think that the GOD you worship makes mistakes. If that is the case he is no GOD. I hoped that the commit I made of makeing abortion harder for children to have would not start a debate. Everyone has their own views and I totally respect everyones. But when you put the word christian and support abortion in the same sentence, I am offended as a christian. What type of example are you setting? You stated that you hoped none of your grandchildren would have an abortion but then followed with if they wanted one you would not stand in the way? Wait would you not advise them that yes this is going to be a tough road but GOD makes no mistakes, and there is a reason you are carrying that child. Would you not offer the idea that if you really love that child you will give it a home with two parents that have wanted a child more than anything in the world and would love that child more than life itself? I am baffled by the way the term FETUS is thrown around, I am a "mother" four times over. I lost a child in the second trimester. And when that baby died I DID NOT LOSE A FETUS!! I LOST MY CHILD< she had arms, ears ,legs fingers, toes, a name, SHE WAS A BABY.... As a man you have no idea that at 3 1/2 months we as mothers can feel our BABIES moving.. Our BABIES can hear us, they feel and hurt. One of my best friends worked in an abortion center untill she could handle it no more. The last straw was when a baby was having its limbs sucked off, and it screamed.....HOW CAN A BLOB OF TISSUE (FETUS) SCREAM???????????????? The mother didn't scream, the baby did, and it was still in her body, so hows is that? The main point of my first post was if your 14 year old child got pregnate, and went to clinic to seek help, and the nurse told her it was a blob of tissue that would not feel pain, and would be over before she knew it. Without the infomation told to her parents "no one is looking out for the BABY or your child" You don't have the chance to tell her this is a baby, or that there are other options, or that she does not HAVE to kill it. What if that was your 14 year old on the table when the BABY screams.. Do you know what long term effect that is going to play in that childs life. I can not imagine. A child should not be able to make a decision to that extream that is going to effect her the rest of her life. I guess I am done ranting!! I was not going to get into the debate of when a child is a child, I think you all know when I feel it is (if not, I believe LIFE begins at conception) And I also beleive that MY GOD makes NO MISTAKES..... Church service is over, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband work for an ins. company for 5 years. It's not UHC you should be angry with, Your employers are the ones who chose the policy. UHC DOES COVER LAP BAND, your employer chose not too.UCH approves LB for BMI Over 40 or 35 w/ comortalites, Your company adds the other stipulation(spelling?) I know is time consuming and a pain in the rump, but if you want to fight it, go to your HR. company. The company my hubby worked at did not cover any WLS but one of the men he worked with, needed it so he kept fighting, getting proof and other employess suport and signatures. The company has now wrote it back into the policy and he had his surgery two months ago. That was after a 2 year battle, but self pay was not an option. My point is if you want the surgery, and you don't want to do RNY, give your employee proof that LB is not riskier, Give the the info so they HAVE to make an informed decision. Maybe they can review it and approve it during open enrollment... My advice is fight, fight, fight, and don't settle on a surgery that you don't want.... Good luck....

sorry moved pics....

Once my dr. submitted the paper work it took ten days for approval although my Dr. said it would take 4-6 weeks. Maybe it wont take as long as you think... Good luck

If it were ME I would wait. You need to focus on Your band now and get that down before you add to the stress with an additional surgery. Not only that in a year you may need it to be done again. Why go through that twice? Just my .02 Good luck

I used to breed dogs, and the crate is what I always used. I know she has been is a crate alot but that is probley her "safe place" Use the method Darcy said, it should only take a fews days for that it work. And remember praise is what works on dogs, Not discipline. If she has an accident, show her, tell her no and take her out right then, When she goes potty outside then praise ,praise, praise.... As far as the digging, she is checking out the new place. Roxy (my boxer) did that for about a month, then once she got used to the place she never digs now unless she is hunting something... I would not plant grass till her digging stops it will be a waist of time cause she'll just dig it up.. lol Good luck

Mine was watching my daughter pick up and act out my bad habbits. I needed to get healthy, We as a family need to get healthy....

Thanks, I never can make up my mind on what to print. I have been playing in photography now for about two years. This was a good friends of mine baby and I wanted to shoot her because she was so beautiful. Now I have a new mom wanting ideas of what my stuff looks like.. I think I will do one b&W and the color... Thanks

looks alot like my boxer I adopted, she also was going to be put down. She is so perfect and fits right in at our home. We were told that she was given up because her owner had a new baby with asthma, and she was great with the kids in the shelter. Then we got her home she nearly fell apart when my DH got home. She was barking, and growling but only when he came up to her in a standing position. When he was sitting down she would creep up to him very slowly for him to pet her. We think she was abused by a man. One night my DH got the belt out to threaten the kids and she saw it a ran and jump in my arms while I was standing up. That tells me she has been hit with one. My other boxer desen't even know what a belts for much less scared of it. Anyways your new BABY is beautiful!!!When I first read your post I could not see the pic and thought it was a real baby until I scrolled down. lol

My husband and I have talked, and we are staying with this dr. He is the most experenced in this area, and seeing that we are both having it done, and my hubby has never had surgery and a big chicken, he wants the best. I still disagree with the fee. I was told it was for paperwork???????? I was like hu? Then she said filing the ins.. and nutrition, and three months of fills. 1st off I can file my own ins. papers, 2nd a nutritionalist is only 75.00 a pop here and I get a discount from my ins for them, 3rd three months of fills? My fills are only 15.00 copays, I highly doubt I am going to need 500.00 of the in the first three months after my surgery. My husband work in ins. for 5 years at atena so he knew this was crap. And the fact they did not say a word about this fee in the seminar still greats my nerves. I was not told about this fee till I had done all the requirments and was approved. They know exactly what they are doing they are banking on me not changing Dr. And I am not. I have fallen in love with the office and the staff. I even like the dr even though he is known for his bedside mannor. I want this surgery more than I want 500.00 I need to be thanking my lucky stars I have ins. that approved me. I am only out of pocket 1150.00 for everything!!!

Ok I have a delema. My Dr., who is IN network has told me he charges a 500.00 participation fee that can NOT be billed to ins. So I called the ins. company to see if it can be counted as my deductable, They said no because he is under contract with them and he should not be billing a pacient any more than the copay they agreed on. Then my ins. company said he could lose his contract with UHC if he is reported. So my delema is, This Dr. is known for his experence (over 3000 lab bands done) and for his crappy bed side mannor. I am afraid if I question his policy and ruffle feathers then he won't do my surgery. (lord knows he has plenty of other people who want him) So should I pay it and just shut up or should I fight it and take the chance in having to find another dr. and start all over... I had planned on paying this money but now I'm justed pissed that he is taking advantage and doing something that is not ethacal... :angry

Unless you feel the need to explain, you can say i am having surgery and leave it at that. Unless you and your boss are close it should go no further.. Just a thought...

thanks i got it but I could not find this thread so they are in a thread named TEST ....

Ok so I have a question, I have a few shots that I took of my best friends baby, I need help, I have a potential client that wants to see examples of my work I am going to get two developed, which two would you show them. I cant figure out how to attach them can anyone help? :help:
