I understand that, but these aren't my parents, they're my in-laws, and we've had this conversation AD-NAUSEUM. I didn't mind at first, but then I realized this is the way it will be until the end of time, so I'm over it.:thumbup:

I love my bodybugg, and I have a LONG response, but it'll have to wait until I get home....

Oh, the irony. I JUST got some PB2 last week. The difference in calories is definitely worth the trade off in texture. However, just add a smidge more water, and it's creamier. Great for dipping apples and celery in! Haven't tried it in a protein shake yet as I don't do protein shakes very often.

I woulda walked out of there with this look on my face: :thumbup:

Ok, I finally remembered to pick some of this up at the grocery store, and Oh, MY it's sooo good. YUM-O!

If you ask Jack, he'd tell you to have some of the "holy shredded wheat" every day to keep things moving....

Yeah, I really hate that show, but it does have it's moments....

HA! I love it!

I'm sick of the same thing you are. At Thanksgiving and Christmas my family was asking me a bunch of questions, and offering to make special food for me.... I totally wish I'd not said anything about my surgery to them. I always make sure I have a backup plan in those cases, and I wish they would just not worry about it. It's not like I'm not capable of taking care of myself, thank you very much. And I'd rather not have to educate them about it, either. For example, before a fill, I can eat, let's say, a whole chicken breast, grilled, a few veggies, and maybe a little potato salad or something. The next time, after a fill, they'll have the same thing, only, now I can't do the grilled chicken breast because it's too dry, and then they make a big deal out of it because I bring a can of tuna or chicken to make salad with instead of trying to eat the dry chicken which I KNOW will cause me misery if I do that. They start in saying that they could have made something else so I could have what they're having.... I don't know how to convey to them that my surgery is about ME changing MY life, not everyone around me making sacrifices for me. Can't win for losing, sometimes. Sorry for the rambling...

Now THAT'S funny. DUH!

LOL, don't worry Zannie, I don't talk about it much outside of the bodybugg user's thread. I just thought it would be cool that it can tell me when I've reached my goal for the day. A stopwatch would do the same thing, and be WAAAAYYY cheaper.... Yeah, it's tomorrow already. April Fool's!!! I wish I was creative and could pull something off with my DH....

If my band erodes and I have to have it removed, I doubt very much that I'll be seeking support here afterwards, because it would be too depressing for me to come here and read about it. And if I had a revision, I'd be seeking support for that. As far as any friendships I've made here, there are other ways to communicate with them if I so choose.

Good luck today!

Well. The OP DID say that this thread was going to be inappropriate. And the things that have been called to attention are DS'ers who don't eat as healthy as apparently YOU do, and therefore pay for their choices in the "back end". The other things that have been called to attention are the fact that ds'ers on OH LOVE to dog our surgery of choice. OH is "supposed" to be a place where all types of WLS'ers can go for support. THIS forum is geared for lap-band only, hence the NAME of the forum is LAPBANDTALK. If you are no longer banded, and have had revision surgery, why are you still here?

I remember you, too! Welcome back!

Yeah, I've seen her lurking SEVERAL times.

Yes They Do!

Just wanted to let everyone know that TOMORROW is the first day of April! Come on over and join us, there's different levels for everyone, or if you want to do your own thing, feel free, but here's a thread where we can all post and be accountable to each other. COME ON, FEB '07ers! I KNOW THERE'S MORE THAN 4 OF US LEFT ON THIS FORUM!!!:crying:

Thanks, LJM, you are awesome, as usual!:crying:

After you login, click on the "my info" tab at the top right of the screen, and then under "goals and targets" (it should already be at that screen) the bottom of the screen will say "Physical Activity Duration". You can change it there. Make sure that you put in hours AND minutes, even if it's "0" or it won't update properly. Oh, and it won't send the new info to your bugg until the next time you upload calories burned.

You're allo.wed to be pissed off, vent away! I'd be furious, considering that I had to arrange sick leave from work, my hubby had to make arrangements to be there with me, not to mention the pre-op diet... It WILL happen for you though, hang in there!

Scroll down...right below the quick reply box, there's another box that shows "currently active users viewing this thread"....

Honestly, you should tell your counsellor, because even though the object of this particular game is to get their approval for lap-banding, they really are there to help you as well.

Awwww, I just got a warm fuzzy... Hey, can anyone point me to where the FAQ's went for newbies to figger out our lingo, ticker info, and the like? I can't FIND it and I gave some mis-information about where to find it to a newbie!!! AAAAAH! HELP!

*laughs* Ok, don't feel bad, because after I posted that, now I can't find all the faq's! That's where it USED to be! I'll keep looking and I'll post a link if I find it. If anyone else knows where it is, some help would be good!
