Awwwww...I love you guys for sticking up for me...I even facebooked.....that is love! :laugh: :hurray:

Yes I think the baby would have a big problem with it. I will be good after the 5 days, I just need a kick in the arsh...

Great Lulu! That makes 3. :hurray:

This kind of know it all shit is the reason I left for awhile.... I HATE people sometimes.... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f178/starting-holiday-detox-early-anyone-wanna-join-me-84070/#post1099036

I don't have the restriction I once did, but a lot of holiday foods are slider foods for me. They go down way too easily. I am just trying to get back on track. AND thanks for being so supportive and assuming that I went wild. I didn't for the record. Sometimes you need help to get back on track. NOT everyone is perfect.

Feel free to pm and we can talk personally. I can tell you how I feel now is a different life.

This is the link... Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test I am gonna do 2 days of liquids. I got through almost 1 day...lol... We can do this together. We will get you to 198 in NO time!

Ok, so here is the lowdown on my back. Nothing is broken. But my back is now straight...I guess we are supposed to have a natural curve and I don't because I have strained most of the major muscles in my back. SO Dr put me on 2 muscle relaxers to take at once--it is THAT bad and a pain pill. Monday I will have to start physical therapy! UGH! I had a pain in my ass taking all of my piercings out, even had to take the brand new belly button out. The freaking xray tech complained and told me I shouldn't have so many...wtf...I have 3 plus earrings! WHY is it his business anyways??

Thanks Kellie. I appreciate your honesty. I have thought about regretting it alot. But unfortunately he is not a good hubby, a good father not a good hubby. I know he wants to change but he doesn't try and that is just not good enough for me. We barely made it through the holidays but it is clear to everyone we are done, even families. I am happier without him, happier when I don't have to think of him and happier when he leaves me alone. That can not be a good sign...

Wow. A lot of questions, some seem so simple, but so off base. It is easy to assume that we are overweight because we don't et right or exercise, but that is not the case for all. I had 5 years of intensive IVF that wrecked my body and metabolism followed by 2 pregnancies in two years. So first of all my question is why do you (or I) have to rationalize to anyone else but myself? I don't. I am the only one that matters. I don't care what anyone else thinks or believes. They are not me and do not live my life. The risk of not loosing the weight is far greater than surgery by any means. I had tried to diet for years and nothing worked. My breaking point was when I went to the movies with my kids and could not sit in the seat. I then realized I would not make it to see them marry if I didn't loose weight. I was banded in August of 2006 and I can say it changed my life. I now can do all the things I wanted with my kids and they no longer have to make excuses for me. They no longer will utter the words "mommy can't she's too big". That was worth any risk ever! Good luck to you!

Welcome and congratulations! :thumbup:

Ok ya'all I am not a December bandster, I am an oldster... August 2006 and I fell off the wagon too. But the good thing is we can all recover! :thumbup: There is only failure if you accept it! I ate too much fudge, my damn brother made it. I am so glad he got the cooking gene and NOT me. :smile:

That is actually true. It is what they call a slider food, it slides right through and you will not feel full very long. PLUS the good ones are full of calories such as creams, ect. I was told it was a last ditch resort and not to do it too often. Stinks because I LOVE soups!

Ok, you can were honest so I hope you gave us full permission to be honest as well. Sometimes no matter how much you love someone there may be something missing--obviously your friend has found that hole and you have built a bond with it. Not ideal to do when you are married. You are considering it because it is new, you are new and it is exciting. But the more you think it through the less exciting it will become because you will think about reality. My advice, figure out what this guy is doing that your man is not and then get it from your man. AFTER you cut it off with him. If you don't want to loose your marriage it really is the only thing you can do. Trust me, unless you are looking to end your marriage you don't want to go there. The truth always comes out! Good luck to you! We are here if you need us!

She is better than me. Pretty bruised up though. I think I pinched a nerve in my back. Add me on facebook Brandy Robertson-Chase Tell me who you are, I don't accept people I don't know. :thumbup:

No, you didn't miss. It was a facebook carry over. I fell down some stairs at the movies that were ice. I was trying to catch my daughter who also fell. I am not doing well. I tried to make it to the Dr but the roads are just too bad.

Not doing well. Can't go to the Dr roads are horrible so I am just medicating myself well....ugh... Thanks for asking, and good to know it is ON this time!

Lu--Me too. But I had no other choice, nothing else was open. Good thing that they don't celebrate xmas or my kids would have gone hungry! gone---lol...love it!! :tongue2:

Losing, blame your pregnant brain! We had chinese, there was no way I could finnish dinner after the fall! That is just cruel....rotfl... Simply beautiful, beautiful! Amazing eyes!

Yup, I like to do it with a drink in hand as well. Thanks for setting me straight!

Thanks! :tongue2: How long ago was it?

It took me until the 3rd fill before I felt anything really at all. It takes time unless you get a fill when you get banded. It will get better though I can promise you! :thumbup:

CONGRATULATIONS BRANDY!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!:thumbup:

Absolutely Loretta! That is why there is a recipe section, which this is not! :thumbup: SO if such person wants a recipe they should go to the appropriate section, this is the rants and raves, which has nothing to do with weight loss at all. You know sometimes we just need to complain about stupid things??? Happy Holidays to all my friends! I love you all!!

YOU all look great! Congrats on all the success! I wanted to share my new photo and compare it to the old me.... :thumbup: NEW ME...2008 OLD me...2006!
