Oh............ and WELCOME BACK Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH LAURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also... Jane: I have read Kahlia Ali book and so has Judy... I really liked it.. I may re-read it now that I'm banded.

Diane: I just caught up on this thread.............. WOOOOOOOOT! WOOOOOOOOOT! on the jeans NSV! I'll be waiting to see the pics!

HAPPY CUT THE CRAP DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scale was 210 again....... NO crap for me today! I did bring in another 2 liter of CL......... so well try to get it all down.

I DID IT! I drank the entire 2 liter... I'm still thirsty :confused: also I'm hungry too! I have no idea what I'm fixing for dinner... grrrr

More than half way through my 2liter of CL!

any chicago violets out there... I came accross this on another forumn (not band related) http://surveylink.yahoo.com/wix/p4147545.aspx Welcome, and thanks for taking our survey!

Good morning all! Scale bounced AGAIN up! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and I was GOOD yesterday! probably fluid retention but dang it......... 3 weeks with nothing gone. I am at work fighting whatever it is that I now have... DH is finally going to the doctor for his back this morning and I am meeting him there with the insurance and flex account cards... (so, Friday=Mom, Monday=Son, Tues=DH) Luckily the doc this a.m. is less than 2 minutes from my work. Have a great day everyone! OH... and I made a two liter of orange crystal light this morning and brought it to work! GOAL for today is to drink the ENTIRE thing!

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shake those moneymakers in your sexy "Laura" outfit. HIYA Terry! I am getting progressively sicker as the evening wears on...... damn!

google black friday and you will see lots of sites that are posting the ad early.......... I don't know why I think its so fun.......... I am weird! (insert nerdy laugh here)

Hey angie! Great to see you1 I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEPRESSED.... I was online for 4 hours getting the tickets... and he is doing 9 shows because he wanted everyone who wanted to to go! and the tickets were ONLY $27.00.......... that is one of the reasons I GAVE them away........ and the girl who got them is young,newly married.. no kids......... and BROKE! plus she attended court with me for moral support with Shrek............ anyway..... I think I'm GETTING SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had some hot cocoa and it felt so good on my throat! Black Friday is the DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING! Major shopping day.... last year DH and I were in line outside wally world at 3:30 a.m. (it was soooooooooooooo fun!) crazy but fun! we got the computer I'm using right now for $158.00.. there were 6 of them and DH managed to get one.

Sniff Sniff! I just GAVE my Garth tickets to a coworker! Ds is STILL sleeping and is obviously really sick......... and DH just called saying he didn't think he could "DO" a concert tonight! So I offered them to my boss and then to a coworker friend.... MERRY CHRISTMAS! (off to wallow in self pity) man I want some ice cream! but I will go eat a protien bar instead......

oh guess what.......... oldest dss may be coming to live with us! He just (as in a few minutes ago) go a 5 day suspension.. after being suspended FRIDAY for another issue! (and he is the highly intelligent child!) DH and i just got off the phone with ExWife...... I pointed out that if he comes here that he has to give up all his local friends... and position in the boy scouts, and first chair in the band! (he has no clue what it would mean for him to be uprooted from the place he's been since kindergarten) Right now he thinks Dads would be a picnic! NOTTTTTTTTTTT! Oye

Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here is the link to the $5.00 coupon. Tylenol.com — News About Children’s Cold Medicines

Logging in from HOME now! Laura: CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer: Good Luck at Chuckecheese! May the force be with you.......... so ok.. are you sick of pizza yet? working in a pie joint and now spending a bday there! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN ME! I just ate half a fish fillet from Long John silvers and I'm semi pb'ing it! Did I post a coupon for $5.00 off tylenol products??? If I didn't I need to go find it and post it for you all... I just printed one out and used it at Wallyworld and it worked BEAUTIFUL! OK.. I just sent my boss an email, so that he would know that I am REALLY LOGGED ON FROM HOME! gotta go check it.

I can not believe he is asleep!

GOOD MORNING.............. my son woke up at Midnight puking spaghetti.............and he was the freaking engergizer bunnies of puking all night long............ I ended up on the sofa and he on the loveseat.. needless to say he did not go to daycare or school... so I had to bring him into the office with me so that I can pick up some work to take home. I'm now waiting for my boss to arrive so I can break the news to him..... my son is laying on the floor in my office curled up in a ball (LOVELY!) I am tired beyond belief..... but DH still wants to go to Garth tonight.. so we are going. The good news is 210 reappeared on the scale this morning... HOLY CRAP my little guy just fell asleep... poor baby Denise: I have nearly 4cc's in my 4cc band so I've been really tight since August... it has just been in the last week that I can eat more than 1/2 cup of food. One of the reasons my doc doesn't pull fluid out unless he's checking for a specific reason is that he says sometimes withdrawing the fluid messes up the restriction..... I doubt your band has slipped, more likely you just lost some of the residule fat pad around your stomach and you didn't get enough of a fill. I did manage to stay away from the halloween candy yesterday! YEAH ME. Also: Michelle, so far I've found two advertised black friday deals on the DS...... One is at Sears, with One game for $149.00 and the other at FYE (For your entertainment) most likely at your local mall for $129.00 with one game.. the price is after a $20.00 mail in rebate. The RUMOR is that Walmart May have them for $63.00... but Walmart is being VERY VERY VERY legally sticky about Black Friday this year and that is only a post that I found from someone on a message board....... more black friday ads are being posted daily.. and I look for Best Buy to have them again this year. (Last year they had them for $99.00) On ebay they are no less than $129.00 even for the used ones.............. I am on the hunt. Everyone have a great day!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TERRY!!!!!!!!!!!! (insert booby bananna's here) That is so sad about your bosses son!... It really brought up sad memories for me when I first read about it.. (one of my best friends was killed by a drunk driver when she was 18) one of the saddest funerals I've ever been too. OK.. time for me to sign off!

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WE ARE BACK! Haydee: that sounds like so much fun! Jane: HOW EXCITING!!!!! be sure to post the link! A FAMOUS VIOLET! Laura: I downloaded second life and spent almost two hours trying to fix up my avatar!!!! I finally got so annoyed I just x'd out of it......... I know I said it earlier but I LOVE your new avatar! Kat: Your family never ceases to amaze me! Michelle: Good for you on the Y today!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why am I having so much trouble remembering to drink???? weird! I am eating more, but like laura, I've really trying to watch carbs...... I am so tired.......... tomorrow night is GARTH! and DH's back is out so I don't know how he is going to suffer through sitting at a concert! It's going to be a late night for us. I am also on the hunt for Black Friday deals especially for a Nintendo DS Light for oldest dss! Did you know that thing can actually surf the net???? (wifi enabled and you can get a browser as one of the games) OK.... time for bed! HERE's hoping for 210 in the morning!

LOVE the new AVATAR Laura! Jane: BE STRONG! (so far so good for me)

Good morning............. I was back down to 212 today with still puffy fingers... can someone please start forcing water down my throat!!!!!!!! I have not had a piece of Halloween Candy yet today and I'm going to TRY and stay away from it. I just had 3/4 of a grilled burger patty drenched in ranch dressing and it is starting to feel a bit stuck.. so I'm trying to ignore it and see if it will go on through.... TRYING to stick with solid protien today.... It is a beautiful fall day here in Kansas........ the leaves are turning and I'm wearing my baggy size 16 jeans and a thermal pink harley shirt that has been toooooooo tight for a couple years! I do love my band and wearing my old clothes.. this is just a normal stage of complacency and I know I shouldn't bitch about being stuck for two weeks when some of you are struggling with a two MONTH plateau.. so SORRY... Thanks to everyone who has been there... Have a great day........ and I will check in later

Next time ask your doc if you have the small band.. (I bet you do) my doc only calls them the small and large..... Ok.. so I have the small..... it is 10cm long and is supposed to hold 4cc's of Fluid. So at my last fill I asked...... OK DOC, so how much does it REALLLLLLY hold. (I had read that they can be overfilled to near 6cc's) He told me that he didn't have any patients with the small band that had over 5cc's in their band.... and its true I have near 4cc's and I've been at my sweet spot since August.. HOWEVER in the last week I can tell that I can eat more than I had previously......... also it's important to know that my doc had not even heard of OMNIPAQUE until I told him..... they are human and your doc may not know that the bands can be overfilled.... (heck my doc didn't even do a pre op diet until he went to a conference and talked to other surgeons) and my doc is GREAT! Ask the question next time.. you need restriction for the band to work.
