OMG My gut hurts from laughing so hard.... I can hardly type this! WWJD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just snorted

Peeking in here and I laughed out loud at this! (going back to read the rest of the thread now)

oh and I forgot Laura: When do you go weight again????? I am anxious to see how much you have actually lost.

LOL Jennifur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ALSO NEED SOME....."Suck me in" undies for Saturday....... I just went shopping over lunch and I did buy 3 things and tried on about 50.... two things fit now but will continue to look better with each pound/inch lost.... the one thing that is so cute right now.. I bought to wear Saturday.... it is a bigger size than I want to be wearing but it is soooooo cute.. I'll see if I can find one on line to show, but it is a brown shirt that wraps in the front but the center has a flap that ties around the neck with a brown wooden circle accent............ SEXY without showing skin......... my biggest problem with all the stuff I tried on today WAS MY ARMS!!!!!!!!!!! How many times did I curse them today???? so many cute styles out there but all with no sleaves or capped sleeves!!!!!!!! HELLO ARM ROLLS! I am going to get my arms done when I lose this weight..... I can't imagine how bad they wiill look after 70 more pounds.......... I just had a (homeade) burger, 2 pieces of hard cheddar, and ranch dressing.. and I am stuffed. Judy: I did like the cottage cheese w/blueberries.... it was different for me because I usually eat cottage cheese with lots of pepper... so making it sweet was a big jump for my taste buds, but it is a good breakfast, especially one that I can keep in the fridge at work and eat it here with no problem. Michelle: WAY TO GO on the exercise! Terry: waiting to hear if you were able to run over to Spivak's at lunch. Pam: When your done at your house... I need you and susannah to start on mine! LOL TracyK: CONGRATS CONGRATS.. somehow I missed your new LOW!!!! Haydee: where are you today? MS_Jen, Josie, PUddy, GR8 and all others ... how are things this fine Wednesday?

interesting ... I personaly think that she had the bypass because of the look soon after her loss, but I just saw her new look and I think that she is filling out nicely. Who knows why she won't disclose it.. maybe she was just sick and tired of people talking about her weight... but that is the price you pay to be famous, and her not talking about it has kept it a topic.. which could ALSO be a reason for the mystery.....

Pamela is looking for us on the General Thread! Where are the Violets What the hell...did I miss a meeting!!!! Where did the violets go??? The April 07 Shrinking Violets Thread??? Please help me find my violets, I can NOT live w/o them. __________________ Pamela Banded 4-3-07 Palm Springs CA

Pamela: for some reason they moved us and didn't tell us! We are now on the MONTHLY support thread! I did my own little freak out this morning! GET OVER THERE MISSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've ALWAYS had big arms........... not blessed with small ones and so I know that my bat wings will be flapping in the air while riding my motorcycle even mores so after I lose my weight AGAIN and that is a major reason why if I had to chose just ONE ps it would be to get my arms done.... scars or not they would FIT better into clothes and I could for once in my life wear a tank top and not gross out spectators.......... it's just a part of MY journey... and a personal choice for ME.... I've had saggy boobs my entire life too.... but I can stuff them into a bra.... my arms not so much........

Jenna: Thank you so much for posting! You look freaking awesome!

oh and Judy.. I'm getting ready to try blueberries in my cottage cheese... RIGHT NOW!

as a matter of fact YES! I was at the gym at 4:40 a.m! and BTW you ARE the greatest thing since sliced bread! Haydee: the cranberry tip for that salad... YUM! Michelle: Have fun at the water pilates class, and I'm with Terry.. I don't give a crap what I look like.. I wear my hair up pair of workout pants and a baggy tshirt.. my face gets really red really easy always has.. so I'm used to looking like a beet. was down from 237.6 to 237.4.......... I'll take it!

OK.. I was freaking out a bit trying to find our thread on the general board... guess they moved us. Good morning! Jennifur, maybe you retained more water yesterday than normal... heck I don't know our bodies baffle me.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Your almost in bandland baby! You'll do great

Good evening Violets! I had 1 small burger no bun with ranch 1/2 cup of brocoli and a bit of ragu double cheddar cheese I'm patiently waiting another half hour before I get a glass of tea

Haydee: :confused: you are so funny Laura that recipee sound really good.... WELCOME BACK little missus! I'm cooking brocoli to go with dinner ME cooking and EATING brocoli..... I am soooooooooooo anti veggie, but I'm TRYING!

holy crap... I now have pork steak stuck! went down fine last night.. WEIRD.. must walk around now before My 1:00 p.m oreintaion comes knocking at my door.............. burp..... owwwwwwwwie that hurt, but it went down. oh... and my mom is heavy and she is "watching" my progress..... I think she is feeling guilty and maybe a bit jealous of me getting the band..... She has always made little remarks about my weight..... for those on the intimacy thread... she made the remark that maybe I had gained all my weight back could be the reason........ other times when I was dating she would say things like.. (are you too fat for him?) Even when I was at my lowest wearing size 10's (stretch) she said.... "Well, your not a skinny minny but your getting there" I have no idea why she does this to me............ but I sent the email on to my sister and this is what she said ... FUNNY Mom is going through a weird stage right now. She told Kaycee one day that she WAS NOT SKINNY and she told me I had droopy boobs.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> So its not just you, it seems to be all of us. I think she is getting more and more like grandma Ruth the older she gets

I wrote this: I push mowed my ENTIRE yard last night!!!!!!!!!!!!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Then I took this pic after I cooled down…<o:p></o:p> I can definitely tell my face is getting thinner…<o:p></o:p> (the thinner my face the more pointy my nose is)<o:p></o:p> <I class=inlineimg title="" alt="" border="0" embarrassed.gif? smilies images www.LapBandTalk.com http: ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:o <O:p>She immediately emailed this:</O:p> I would say you also look pooped. With out your smile you don’t look like Tracy <O:p<I Tracy. like look don’t you smile your out With pooped. also say would> Would it kill her to give me a compliment???? Geesh!</O:p </I></I>

Good Morning everyone! Thanks for all the kind comments on my pic... Terry: I got up and went to the gym this morning! Judy: Your flower beds are so pretty!!!!! I love the tree face planter very whimsical. Jennifur: congrats on the mini skirt! I really toned down my carbs and upped my water yesterday and I think I'll take the lost pounds!!!!!!!!!! I know I will be stalling before too long, so I'm enjoying the ride down while I can... at 4:20 a.m. I weighed 237.6! My next fill is in two weeks I hope he still gives me one even though I'm going to show around 15-20 lbs lost since my last one.. (I was really water bloated after my trip) Have a great day, I'll be back later to check in.

I push mowed my grass and now I'm watching Big Medicine... right before the show I snapped this.... .. I think I'll add it to my sig line up tomorrow... I'm not smiling but my face looks thinner to me..

Sorry Puddy!!!!!!! I'm in Kansas I ended up going home for lunch and cooking 3 eggs with a slice of pepperjack......... It is now time for my water.... My next mini goal is 234 and of course 229... getting ONEderland will be a BIGGEE for me

HiYa Michelle!!!!!!!!!! Drink that water!

With 2 fills and 2.75 cc's in my band I am still able to gulp Water..... I drink 1-2 30 oz glasses between breakfast and lunch and another 1 or 2 before leaving work. I constantly remind myself that I will only be washing my meal through the band if I drink with meals... I have a daily talk with myself about it because I WANT to STAY FULL!!!!!!!!! Right now my restriction has loosened so I can eat plenty, any liquid would empty my stoma... Not drinking with meals takes some getting used to but you can do it.

Terry: Yes, let us know!!!!!!!!! and BTW.. congrats on the NEWLY lost POUND!
