First thing I wondered was if the headache was due to detox.

Hehehe, so true. My surgeon said they actually had people eating CAKE BATTER because they could get it up a straw. Many were impressed with what they could get to go up a straw. The surgeons not so much. :tongue2:

Day-um, girl!! Way to go!!! Okay, so that means you get rid of that purple asterisk now, right? :tongue2:

I agree, that really doesn't make any sense. So long as it's liquid, it's not likely to stretch the stoma, so why not any liquid?

That's really cool, g4e!! I just wish it would do more than 50 pounds. :thumbup: At 50 pounds lost, I am only down about one chin. Wonder if you could take the result pic and use IT as your before and shave off another 50, and so on and so on until you get where you want to be. :wink_smile:

More like habitual fork-in-face disease. :wink_smile:

DONNANANANANANA!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back!!! The prodigal sistah returns. :wink_smile: Glad to hear about your mom not being so bad. That's great news!

Shore did. I bet it's the only way he "has" women. :wink_smile:

Oooh, maybe I can re-post the driving your car over broken glass and nails scenario again. :thumbup:

Omg, it looks like the Idiot Fairy is out and about again... :wink_smile:

So you're a doctor?

That's just one of many... and that doesn't include all the other scandals that didn't involve prostitutes but DO involve morality. Many of these people have NO shame whatsoever.

Brandy: I'd have said, "Excuse me, SIR, what did you say?" :wink_smile:

Wonder what happened to her personal chef... and personal trainer... and her contract with herself from years back... and... and... Good lord, that woman is too much.

Lots of awesome posts on this thread. I too feel if somebody is eating steak or other heavy solids just days out from surgery, they have much greater issues. However, people don't seem to want to hear that.

And considering how immoral much of our government is, it's a helluva step to try to moralize US. They can't even moralize themselves.

I guess this would qualify as an NSV: Boss asked me today if I had lost more weight. It's nice that somebody noticed. :wink_smile:

Challenging but I got through it all. Felt good to do something productive for a change. And I really enjoy him. I know he's as femme as they come, but he's so cute and energetic and seems to really care. Then I realized some other work-out DVDs that I loved and which never made it to VA either. :wink_smile: And now I'm trying to get what it was I used to have. True... guess I was thinking more about the ellipticals and treadmills that people got for Christmas that are up for sale by March.

Help him pack. :wink_smile:

Whoa, which thread?? :wink_smile:

They'll be gone by March. :wink_smile:

You painted -- I did Richard. :wink_smile: I had to do it to keep from crying. Hard to do aerobics while doing the wubba-wubbas.

Sobbing, I'm sure. :cry_smile:

Thanks for all the hugs, y'all. I've been crying since yesterday -- every time she would smile at me I'd start sobbing. She has a smile that can break your heart. I'll read up on here for a while to try to get my mind off things. And I promised Richard (Simmons) a date today. First real exercise since being banded, other than walking.

I was offline when you were experiencing your troubles and went into the hospital. I'm hoping you are doing a lot better and continue to do so. Hospital stays SUCK!!!
