TexasFire

Are we there yet?

Y'all crack me up! Silly girls! I love it!

Umm...and just WHY didn't you say hello?!?!? Yes, I absolutely LOVE their Salmon and Asparagus cooked over the fire on a cedar plank...YUM! Shame on you for not saying hello. Thanks about my band....but I think it's going to be all good. What's going on with yours? Yes, the rides were awesome, even if Lancaster DID kick my ass! Wish you could've been there, too! Are you still gonna be at the MS 150 next weekend? Yes, please check in more often...we miss you! It dropped a ton last month...not so much lately. In fact, I bumped it back UP a few pounds this morning. But I'm still feeling good and it didn't really bother me, as long as it's not the beginning of a pattern! Thanks for commenting on it! I'm in a good place now, but I still want another 25 to get my legs in the same shape as the rest of me....my legs are my worst enemy!

Suzzzie and MJSafari - You guys are in the same place I was. PLEASE be careful and don't be too stubborn for your own good like I was!

Denise...I second that motion! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By the way, "slider foods"? Never heard that before...very appropriate term. :tongue_smilie: But I don't know of any obesity surgery that would prevent them. Gastric Bypass? Nope..."slider foods" go down just great...just ask my sis who had it a few years ago. All obesity surgeries have their pros and cons....and all of them allow "slider foods". These are tools. You have to be educated, prepared and psychologically/emotionally ready to use these tools appropriately. You have to be committed to the good and the bad. Getting the band won't make you not want ice cream! (Oh, how I love thee! :thumbup:)

I hadn't even given that any thought! I guess we really should celebrate, huh? It's been an amazing year for us all! Has anyone thought about this?

J! Can't wait to hear how you do this weekend! (Particularly on Sunday.) Heck! You need to come do the MS150 with me! Come to "Texas...it's like a whole other country"

Whew! I hope everyone can now consider this all "water under the bridge". I think everyone deserves a second chance, and Headhunter is no exception to that rule. There is some valuable information to be had here. My only wish is that it be presented in a thoughtful manner so as to inform and not frighten. And, of course, verifiable info is always helpful such as links to photos, articles, statistics. We all have had or will have tense moments on our band journey, myself no exception. It's good to know we can come here and talk it out. Remember during disagreements that here at LBT, we address the idea and not the person.

Sounds like you had a ball, J! That's great! You're special and they made your day special! Hey, check this out, guys! It silly, but funny! [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZHIop4mhRro]YouTube - Creedence Clearwater Revival - misheard lyrics[/ame]

I agree...I'm moving this thread to Complications to see if you get a better response.

Suzzzie - I had no idea about your TOM situation...but then, why would I?!?!? LOL You are not used to the emotional changes that it can bring, I understand. Believe it or not, I can totally relate: until I had kids, I had MAYBE three periods a year. Then I was regular as clockwork, damn it! All that emotional stuff generally goes away in a few days, though. Watching everyone eat what you can't just made things worse...you poor thing! I can't bear the thought of you standing in the corner with your veggie casserole! Big hug-hug-hugs to you! I think you may be right about the weight loss beginning to regulate your cycle, though. Not quite the reward you were looking for, I'm sure...but you are a nurse and you know it's a good thing, even if it's not fun. You are doing so incredibly well, so don't dispair! Look at your before pics and take solace from your success until these few days pass. And remember I love you, you penguin hat wearing goofball! (Maybe that's a "curse", too...but you are stuck with me nonetheless! :tongue_smilie:)

Thanks, CeraDad! I like the "guy" comment! Yes, I am dumb about stuff like that...for sure. It's going marvelously now! I am not worried. Thank you for the comments!

Wow! I'm glad she's doing much better. Good for you for making her go...what a good guy you are! I certainly understand the "party mode" comment! However, {knock on wood}, I really can't eat a lot. But I CAN eat! That is the important thing! I had a Cottage Double with pineapple this morning, added in another half cup or so cottage cheese to cut the sweet, and I was stuffed. That was six hours ago and I'm really not hungry still. So I'm just playing it minute by minute. Hey...3CC band? Who makes that? I hadn't heard of a 3CC band before. Is that what you have, too?

I know, ZZ! I wondered the same thing, but I couldn't help myself!

Yes, I am a believer, BigBaby (though a hedonistic/bratty one, at times) and thank you! Thank you, too, Suze! Thank you everyone! It will all be okay...I have complete peace with all of this now. I'm not worried in the least. I don't know if I will be successful at staying unfilled, but I WILL get to goal!
