Jaffa

So true. In fact working out does great things for brain chemistry and for skin recovery.

Yea, you can live a long time without food, without water, you don't make it very long at all.

Im around, but the you cant read posts and be in the chat room at the same time....I wish you could?

This is my proudest moment. Maybe I couldn't have a sleeve, but I can still be a sleeve brother!!!!!!! I'm at 6 months. The honeymoon is over. But, I have to make this band work until they start approving sleeves. Then I WILL be revised. My wife ony has two more days until we get to Mexico!!!! She is getting excited now. I really think people like Jachut aren't likely to develop problems, or are much less likely. She works out a lot and keeps the band at a reasonable restriction. She has also had it long enough, that if her body didn't react well to it, it probably would have showed up already. My biggest problem with my band is morning is very very tight, lunch is a little too tight, and dinner is a little to loose. I overcome, by eating slim fast for Breakfast or yogurt with Protein added, lunch is softer things like cheese and Protein Bars, and dinner I can eat just about anything. It works, and I'm happy, but long term....I don't kid myself.

A. the attitude that adjusting the band tighter and tighter to fix the mental side of poor eating habits, will eventually lead to band failure. You just simply can't keep tightening it down to fix yourself. Jennifer, I understand what your saying, I wonder why or if you have known anyone with the band who just gained their weight back, and if you do, why is it that therefore the band is somehow different or better in this regard. Your original post notes how you know people of GB and GS that regained, but you don't know just as many or more with the band who regained? And yes, anyone with a failure and removal counts. So I ask, why is this significant in your decision? I just don't get it.

Ok, I just like being the first to post in a forum section. You guys are going to kill me!!!! Hey, on a totally, related subject, but not about religion....why don't we have sections on this forum for the non sleevers, like other WLS section, like they have on the other forum? I would rather ask questions here then the other place.

what kind of last meal should she get down there?

Well my wife should enjoy it then....me, maybe not.

BTW....they did a mythbusters episode on this theory, and they decided that it wasn't a myth. They weighed the matress with super accurate scales before and after a person slept on it. They controlled so many variables I never even thought of like humidity and temp. The matress gained about a pound. They said, that the rest was lost in the form of Water vapor in your breathing? They also noted that this amount is definitely affected by the amount of humidity in the air.

OH MY GOD, I know the answer to this. The average person uses about 2lbs of Water while they sleep. Part of it is through constant evaportion from your skin and actually goes in to your matress and sheets. The other part is water vapor lost while you breath in and out. It is so wonderful to finally, know something. Well maybe?

Whats the best thing to eat at Lucerne (the hotel before surgery)?

Xanax? Just kidding!!!!! Well, I work in the yard a lot more then I was before?

I don't think anything is really missing....but I don't look very well!!!!

I wish so bad that I could run, but my knee is not able to handle it. I have to just walk, bike and swim.

Ummmm...I think that is exactly what they are saying. Yes, it will burn calories while you are doing it, but no, it really doesn't have a significant effect on what you burn when you sit your ass back down on the couch. You are a great example, you do lots of it, but most people don't, but expect it to somehow keep burning more then it really does.

I'm loosing very well....LOL

Pee clear, pee free.....peer's unite!!!!! That is a great sign.

But the band is less invasive.....LOL

We watch an episode almost every night before we go to bed. It is kind of a ritual thing before we Kel Nor Reem. That is Jaffa for (sleep/meditation). It helps us to get to sleep Kreeee (now or quickly)

Ok, horrible, but true, if you put on a nicotine patch or gum, it will make you dump Water and make other things happen for sure. Warning Nicotine is addictive!!!

OH MY GOD....great study, great post!!!

Were going AA on Saturday. From Des Moines, to Dallas then San Diego. On the way back it goes through St. Louis. That is the best I could do out of Des Moines.

I am so sorry. I apologize to anyone who may have been offended. And to anyone who is researching band versus sleeve....you are so very welcome.

You tell people to back off, and then procede in the same tone and nature....hypocrite.:thumbup:

Nah, she isn't rude, she just disagrees with they way you post things, like they are fact, that aren't really facts. You spew marketing BS, like it is real, and you act like a victom every time someone corrects you on stuff you post that isn't accurate. Get over it. And I was nice about this twice before in earlier posts. But, frankly, I'm not being nice right now, because of I'm sick of it!!!! You keep posting incorrect or biased BS, and I will keep correcting you, and yes, I will get meaner and meaner about it. How dare you tell anyone they are or are not welcome here, who do you think you are?
