howdy...sorry this might seem like a silly query...but what does it mean that it is a "working" theme? By giving our occupations...does that have something to do with it? Do we give something that is related to the occupation of the person whose name we get? Sorry if it is a silly query; just want to have it straight in my head before I sign up! Tks.

toes crossed too!

Holy crap....did anyone see her on the Red Carpet for the premiere of "Pirates" in London??? She is the poster child for a starving refugee.....OMIGAWD...she is sooooooooooooooooo beyond skinny now, I was STUNNED! It's really awful. How can she NOT have an eating disorder? Her transformation is amazing....even since the last Pirates movie. She looked her best in "Bend it like Beckham"....fit and healthy. Migawd...wait until you see her from the other day. I don't normally comment on skinny celebs but this takes the cake! (obviously she doesn't!).

keeeeewlness!

Hey all....congrats to all of us for making it this far and still maintaining our sanity (kinda!). Yayyy us!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Happy July everyone and keep up the good work. I've been losing slowly as well but am hoping things will turn for the better once I experience this mystery called restriction. I go for my 3rd fill on Thurs....some of you may know that they couldn't fill me last week (read my thread on the frickin' fills!!) so I'm hoping it goes better this week; I'm a wee (read "lots") bit anxious about it! Everyone is doing great!!! High 5s to y'all!!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahvelous!

Oh, Mandi knows alright Cloe....don't kid yerself....she is sly like that; I know the type well!!!! hehe

All the best to ya CanadaSunshine!!! Maybe the breakdown part won't come; hey...it can happen!!! I hope it is easy peasy (I'm sure it will be). Enjoy TO if you can and we'll see ya on the other side!!!! :canada: :canada:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm 9". Sounds nice!!! or...ummmmm...uh...are we still talking about subs??

Hey Cloe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you've had a fill yet....right? If not, then YES>...go and get the fill....otherwise you will have no restriction. As for the golfball thing....your body is just trying to get used to things and may be reacting to it ...and this is its way right now. But, that doesn't mean you have restriction. I had that feeling for a couple of days as well and it went away. I can't comment much more than that since I don't have restriction .....but I will say....if you don't have a fill yet....certainly don't "not" get it because of the golfball feeling (which may only be temporary).

I can sympathize....but lap band is the wrong "cure" or answer to the problems of bulimia and binge eating. It is like taking a drug for cancer to help with an acne problem. Not making a judgment here, only saying that that it is the incorrect "drug". Sorry to say, but if any surgeon does band you, knowing the problems that exist, he/she is completely unprofessional and borders on unethical.

Btw, Argon and Time2Live....what on earth are you two doing on here so late???? Do your parents know where you are????!!!!

*bows down*. We are not worrrrrrthy.

Yup, it's all about the liver. Shrinking the liver results in a better surgery...all around. It makes it easier for the surgeons do the job and it makes your recovery easier! Stick with it if you can; it can make all the difference in the world!

:canada: :canada: :canada: :canada: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: Happy Birthday to the Land of the True, North, Strong and Free!!! (as well as hockey, beer, snow, igloos, beavers, caribou, polar bears, poutine, diversity & multi-culturalislm!). :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :happybday2: :happybday2: :happybday2:

LOL @ Josette!

I hear ya Cloe land know exactly what you are going through...'cause so am I. I hope that you get restriction with your first fill on Fri. And, I hope I can actually GET my fill this time (this Thurs) (3rd fill) and that it will cause restriction for me. I think we'll be able to deal with out demons a whole lot better if the tool is working for us!!!! (obviously with our help, of course...but we need the restriction!!!!).

glad to see you are in a cheerier and MUCH more positive mood MelAnne!!! It suits you!

Ironically, I obsess about food now much more than I ever did. I never really "obsessed" with it before. Now, I think about it ALL the time (almost all the time!). And I don't necessarily mean that I obsess about it in a good way, either. *sigh*. Kinda odd that this happened. It is making it harder for me, I think. But, I'll just keep on pluggin' away and hope that the obsessing goes away ....

uh oh!!! I saw the title and I thought...nooooooooooooooooo!!! Sorry you lost your virginity!!! But...you've lived to tell the tale! Yeeesh, on something so seemingly benign, too! I'm happy to report that I'm still a virgin and hope to stay that way....(those words sound so odd!!!)....then again, despite having had 2 fills (3rd one coming up in a few more days....AGAIN!!!) I have no restriction so that might explain the virginity. I'm trying hard to still do the bandster things but it is difficult since I have no problem!!! Again, sorry to hear!

naaaaah, they just don't quite understand the concept of SARCASM!!!! LOL

That's awesome!!!! Great attitude! Remember, nothing will change unless you MAKE a change!~ ...and you have! Way to got! :clap2:
