I actually find big schnozzes really attractive. I think that I must have been imprinted by them as an infant when I saw my big schnozzed-family cooing at me while I howled in my crib. :rolleyes (I was, it seemed, a foul-tempered baby which must have been rough on them since they had been working on having a baby for 5 long years before I showed up.) I simply can't take a guy who has a button nose seriously as an object of lust. And it is nice to know that they will do as a Viagra substitute in a pinch. So much cheaper.... I wish I had thought of that (but I sure am glad that someone did. She sounds like she would be a fun friend for Green. Does she like scotch?) :eyebrows: As for the treatment which I will be getting for my rosacea. I think it might have to do with light or lasars or something but I am not sure. I am trying quite hard to leave all the details of my face work in the shape of a blurr because I am such a squeamish individual. :phanvan I did the same thing with the mechanics of the band, you know. I only troubled to find out where the equipment is actually, um, situated after I was eating solids again.

A glass of merlot before you go to bed sounds like a lovely, civilized pleasure to me. It certainly doesn't fall into the same destructive category as a bucket of icecream or half a pizza as a midnight snack, and it is this kind of behaviour - that of eating large quantities of the wrong kind of foods - which has caused us to become fat. The band is designed to stop us from eating large portions. The band rules are all about getting us to eat the right foods, healthy proteins and vegetables/fruit. If you follow the way of the band you will lose weight. Why not keep your small civilized pleasure and enjoy your glass of merlot? I can't think of a nicer way to unwind. :bounce:Small pleasures should be a part of one's life, I think.

Mmm, merlot.

Wow! Big changes and I am sure that all of them will be positive. :bounce:

Yep, just an option. In your earlier posts you didn't seem like you were in this space. I am pleased for you.

My face lift dude is gonna take care of my rosacea. I wouldn't want it to land on my already fairly impressive schnozz - it is shapely but it is large! Large noses on both sides of the family, eh..... Haha! I remember those 1950s style cone tits. You could put an eye out with one of those bras. I think I want to get and wear one just for the fun of it.

Thanks for the advice, Newgirl. I have just bought some and plan to start my new regime today. I also find it interesting about your sister and sports bras since these are the only kind of bras I wear. Maybe these are the cause of my bacne, eh? The thing is that I hate wearing bras and sports bras are the least uncomfortable. They minimize my size C boobs and make 'em look like a speed bump. :heh: I find this very funny for some greenish kind of reason....:bounce:

This was the real cause of W.C. Field's whisky nose, I've been told. If I were you I would consult with a good dermotologist or plastic surgeon. I emphasize good because you need a doc who is hip to all the latest techniques. My roseacea is not the acne type and is situated on my cheeks. It merely makes 'em look rosy unless you are standing up close and personal. I guess I am fortunate.... I do have bacne, teenage skin on my back, and, man, it is itchy!

Eat your protein first and vegies second, eat small amounts, and I know that this will happen to you. :mad: (I am trying to give up smoking at the moment so I am kinda worried about gaining. )

Or you could get rid of it. (Why not give it to lala? She wants one.) Then you can continue on with your academic studies instead of changing diapers and being really strapped for cash. You could also decide whether you want to stay with this boyfriend or trade him in on a better model down the road. Living with a party boy is no fun when you are a 30 year old woman with ambitions and a kid. And this may be your fate a decade from now. I know my advice may sound harsh but I thought I would toss it at you. You see, I used to be a party girl myself when I was in university. I also had ambitions to travel, and to live a life where I wasn't tied down. I felt that this would be the right choice for me, and it was. My life has been and continues to be interesting. I've also been involved with a number of interesting men after my divorce from my charming and unreliable ex-husband, the musician. All of these guys were upgrades on the first model. All of them have had real careers and many of them have been extremely well educated. The guy with whom I have been living common-law for the past 22+ years is a real doll. He is kind-hearted, generous, hard working, loving, accepting of me, and rock solid. He also loves to travel. :bounce: And like you, I do suffer from a psychiatric illness - depression in my case, though I had been diagnosed with BPD and as being bi-polar at various times in my past. I have personally never wanted a baby and I sure wasn't mother material. The question I think you have to ask yourself is whether you want this baby at this time in your life? Good luck to you from Green.

:whoo:I have lost a lot of weight since last September 7, the day when I was banded. I now wear size 10 pants, something that I never figured that I would be able to do again in this lifetime. Many, many people (most of them folks who live in the neighbourhood whom I don't know all that well) have commented that I have lost a lot of weight. Sometimes they ask me if I am well.... I explain that I am, that I am now retired and am watching what I eat and am making a point of doing a lot of walking, all of which is true. The truth is that I have noticed no difference with respect to my own energy levels and I have always been physically very flexible - unco-ordinated and lousy at sports - but very flexible. Even as a fat grrl I was able to stretch, bend, cross my legs, and place my palms flat on the floor just by bending over from a standing position. And I also still see myself as a big grrl. This is why I asked my husband what differences he has noticed in me over this past year. My husband says that I am sweating less and that I am not as cranky as I used to be. He also says that I look better. He is also the one who still marvels at my weight loss. And I have got to admit, now that I am sitting here thinking about it, that my sense of self-confidence really has improved. Even though I still see the fattie grrl when I look in my mirror I do know that she is not really there anymore and I now do have a greater sense of confidence in my physical appearance. :bounce: Before being banded, I had really come to loathe and fear my out of control fleshly envelope; I felt that it not only had nothing to do with the essential Green but that it was in fact her active enemy. :tired This was a sad time in my life. I have recently had the experience of being referred to as, ahem, tiny on a handful of occasions, one of them being by the post-op nurse who will be looking after me after my face lift. (I almost passed out with shock and pleasure, eh.) :bounce: Tiny Green still wears a size 10.5 shoe. LOL

Congratulations to you from Green, Lawanda jessica! I know that your mum doesn't hand out a compliment easily. :bounce:

Green's gonna come.

You should also think about getting another fill. You may be feeling hungry because you are underfilled.

Tell yer ma-in-law that the clothes she got you are the wrong size for you but that they will fit her husband's mistress. :heh:

Tell your sister that you are leaving her your overdraft. :eyebrows:

This is really funny. Thanks for passing this on.

Uh, mumblings of "me got big boner," and lots of heavy breathing.......?

My port is beeping. I must go.

Diapers for the everyone in the free world!!!! sez Green.

And it was a dark and stormy night.....

Keep everyone out of the public toilet except for those who have to pee or poo, sez Green. :bounce::bounce:

And I thought that that was a dust bunny! My bad, eh. :heh:

Congratulations on your fabulous fill, grrl. And congratulations on having adjusted your eating technique. All of this sounds very fine. :bounce: And like the Dynamo sez, best wishes to all the newbies. :biggrin1:

LMFAO :bounce: This seems to be too true! :heh:
