    Twentysomething Bandsters

    Hello...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................is anyone out there? Wheres all the 20somethings?
  2. I totally agree!!!!!! (or maybe we can ship them to an island all together with no children... ) Tired old man, The pair were CHARGED with some 100 child molestations at their McMartin Pre-School in suburban Manhattan Beach. Five teachers had also been arrested, on more than 200 charges of child molestation, but the charges against them had been dismissed for lack of evidence. At the trial, only the two Buckeys remained, facing 65 charges. They were given a FAIR trial and found not guilty... This was a movie on life time and if the movie was anything like what really happen it was heartbreaking the way these people were railroaded... But in the end the courts found them not guilty..... I have one more law, Tougher abortion laws!!! I know this is a touchy subject but I enjoy everyones views. I am 100% prolife for me! (don't judge) I have never been in a sitiuation where abortion would have EVER been an option, I think it should be outlawed all together but I know that will never happen. The part of the law I want to change is that you must be 18 or have a parent present before you can have an abortion. I think whatever dummy thought a 13, 14, or 16 years old could understand the long term effects of murdering their child is a moron. Heck you can't even get your belly button peirced with out a parent but you can have an abortion. Just plain stupid.. __________________

    I want a diet coke

    I knew that I wanted the band in dec, so I stoped cokes and smokes before I applyd for the band. I am glad to say I have not had either sense Jan 1st 2006. My doc said NEVER again to any card beverage. He said once sip would not hurt, but if you did it every day for a year those 365 sips could stretch your pouch. He had a good point, He told me to take a bottle coke, let it sit over night, the take a ballon and put over the top, flip the coke over and then back upright and watch the ballon blow up. Even though it sits over night it still had bubbles. The ballon it your stomach. Just that image keeps me away from coke.

    help i am brand new at this!!

    Your Dr. will only submit it to the ins. company once and The weight they recorded on your first visit is the one the ins. knows. If you lose after this that is great. I was the exact same I had a BMI of 40 (bairly) with no comortalities, but now Im at a 39. Good luck...

    Closet Bandster's pt. 2

    I have told all that will listen other than my own father. Gosh that sounds bad. But its true, my mom let it slip once but he has never asked me about it or brought it up so when he wants to know i guess he will ask. As far as what you can say I am scheduled to have my Gall bladder out lap. The insicions are the same as the bands except the is one less. (only 3) It also has the same recovery time and hospital stay. 4-6 hrs. So if you are cofortable with that tell your kids as far as anyone else just say a "rutine procedure" Not a lie and not TMI lol good luck...
  7. Holy crap, Im a profectionist!!! lol I can so see that in dieting. Do any of you do this? I am great all week, till lets say friday, then we go out to eat. So I say I am going to be good but my hubby orders a big juicy hamburger, and chips and dips and a coke. So then in my head I think well this meal won't hurt I done so good all week I can splurge. Then after I have gotten in the car and unbuttoned my jeans for the ride home, I'm pissed at myself. Mad that I blew it. Next day sat, I get up ok well I am going to be good today, then my kids say mom fix us some Breakfast. They want blue berry pancakes, sausage, eggs ect... So in my mide I think Hell I already blew it for the week so I'll start again Monday. So now the entire weekend I pig out.. wtf? Thats it... you solved it Im just a perfectionist.. If I can't do it perfect for the week I just give up all together.. (I wonder if next time my hubby grips about the laundry not being done if I can say "but honey Im a profectionist) lol

    Unethical bandsters?

    1st off the first dr. I talked to say no to me because I did not have a BMI of 40 (20lbs away). I said, but The only reason I weigh this is because I am at WW and I have the card to prove I have just lost this weight. He said NO! (Not because he was a jerk, it was the ins. rules) So 4 months later and 24 lbs heavier with a diff. ins company I qualified!!! I think it is crazy that I am overweight, and have been my whole life and I can prove it, but because i was on a diet and losing i could not have the surgery. I didn't think to put rocks in my shoes or I would have because now I have more weight to lose but I sure had FUN gaining it... There are going to rules in everyones lives, some rules are stupid, some we hate but they will always be there. I don't fault the ins company, they have to have a cut off and i am sure that they have done ect amounts of studies to find that point, but its up to us as individules to decide if we are going to follow those rules. I don't feel I cheated the system one bit. I had to have a BMI of 40 for the surgery and That is just what I had. (40.2)
  9. Mine is only for one day.. I know it must be hard but just of all the rewards you be recieving soon. you can do it
  10. I think our orginal disagreement was that I wanted stronger dealth penalties and you would like the guilty to get an education. I am not aware of any HUMANS being treated like animals unless they have acted like ANIMALS. And even then I don't know of any animals that have cages with tolets and sinks, along with a bed, three hot meals a day, ect ect I also agree in love compassion and forgiveness, but that is not to say that I think there punishment should not equal the crime. If someone killed someone in my family, yes I would have to forgive them. (so I could live with myself) But I would still want them to pay for it with their lives. This is a sore subject in my home but I am going to bring it up and ask for you to put your self in this position. A friends child was hurt in a way no child should ever be hurt. The man responsible was caught, confessed, and plead out for a lesser sentence by helping with another case that had nothing to do with the one he was guilty of. This man was let out of jail after 3 months, and put on probation for 3 years. This is just a small example of the problems in the system .. Let a child rapest out of jail? How many other children will this man harm. I am happy for all of you that have shared your opinion on this subject (even if you felt different than I ) Again this is a law THAT I WOULd PASS!
  11. clo, You have done great.... I know how you feel about no one noticing.. I am 6'2 so if I lose 20 lbs. NO ONE NOTICES, but on the other hand if I gain 20 lbs. NO ONE NOTICES>>> lol but I won't be doing that anymore... only loss from now on... lol Good job keep it up.. they will soon be commeting on how awsome you look....
  12. hubby's gone and the donuts were just staring at me yelling eat me eat me.. so I sent them packing. down the sink... boy do i feel better....
  13. DAMMIT MAN (or woman) Yall Come cook at my house..... my specality is PB& J :0 my kids love it PLease..

    roflao... more or less, My son has been aiming at cherrios (.) for over a year now. He potty trained at 22 months (I think just cause he wanted full access to it... lol ) and I think peanut is a great name... "SON, PUT YOUR PEANUT DOWN" doesn't have the same ring but its great for use in public... lol

    QUESTION for moms.. FUNNY

    my dd calls it her boo-yah and her bottom is her bootee! I don't how we came up with it but it works.. lol
  19. Tired old man, You make a very valid point.. Education for non violent prisoners would probley help in the long run. The problem I have with our system is that we house murderers, child sex offender, rapest, who have been found guilty (they were tried in a fair court), and we give them luxeries that our poverty law abiding citizens can't afford. And I PAY FOR IT! Then They give them an education that I can't afford and say they are reabilitated so they can go rape someone else. Like you said it cost the us millions to house people, who I believe, don't deserve a second chance.. Again I say it , eye for eye.. Again this is just my 2 cents

    What is wrong with me?

    Hey Dody, I am on 100 mg a day and I fell ok. I do see that I am a little tired but at least I am getting up and not crying ALL the time. I am new to this and have never needed meds. before. This is the first time I have talked about it to anyone other than my Dr. I had no idea that so many people were needed help in the medication form. It is good to know that I am not the only people in the world needing this. I only wish I had done something sooner about it. I suffered 2 months, before I went to my dr. because I was imbarrased to tell someone that I was not supermom and I just could not hold it all together. At 1st I was put on Lexapro but after taking that 1 month I had to stop it. I was have sevear HOT flashes like every 20 mins. So I went on zoloft, and it seemed to work for me until I got out of school for the summer. Then those feelings came back. I get so aggervated and want to say to myself "JUST SNAP OUT OF IT" but I can't. I think I will call the dr. again and see if we can try something new. Thanks for all the advise.. I love LTB
  21. I am having a bad day. I can't stop crying! but I don't know why? I am a full time mom with three perfect children and a husband who loves me dearly. I have a home, and I am going to school to be a nurse. I have been a full time student for 1 1/2 years, so I took the summer off to clear my head and just hang with my children. I was so ready for this break, but now I am feeling nervous, and sad. I felt this way last semester but it was a lot worse I ended up seeing a doctor and starting lexapro, I felt better and felt like that was what I needed, now (still on meds) I am getting the old feelings back. I know this sounds stupid but we have only been out of school for a month and I am ready to go back. Why do I feel this way when I am not in school? I can't seemed to be happy just being a mom, which is something that I have always wanted. I just needed to put this into words so maybe it will make sense. Thanks for listening... Jmoe:cry
  22. I said I was going to good today.. Got up did my exercise(30 mins on cross trainer) drank 2 btls of water before my coffee, Then I came in her to get on the puter and my DH (not so D today) went to store and brought home DONUTS for breakfast.. UGGGHHHH Dang the whole house smells like yummy, warm, donuts.. All three of my kids are eating them and my DH warmed up four. I have held out so far but I don't know how much longer they will be here.. I think I am going to tell him if he doesnt take them to work I am putting them in the garbage disposal....

    What is wrong with me?

    Hey everyone, I did go back to my doc and we upped my meds. I now take one pill twice a day. We think it just has to do with all the time I have had on my hands and the dramatic change in my schedule... I am feeling much better now and hope these meds keep working.. Thanks for all the support..
  25. I am having pain in the top half of my stomach, its more like in my rib cage. This is the second time this has happen, the 1st time I went to the er, waited for 3 hrs pain went away I went home without seeing a dr. My brother had his gall bladder removed two years ago and I am thinking that might be what it is, but I am not sure where the gall bladder pain is? Any of you that have experienced gall bladder attacks, please share what they were like and one more thing, if this is gall bladder, will this effect me getting my surgery this month or will they just do it all at once? Any info will be helpfull.... :help: :help: :help:
