They aren't interested in the news just entertainment they can agree with. And yes, Patty, a large population of the American public is undereducated.

Is that possible?

That was meant to be more of a gentle nudge, not a kick! :smile2:

HB--I was completely mesmerized by that video!

I saw a good one last night on another thread but I cant remember who it was that said it, so here are 3 examples of really great "only's" I "only" have 17 pounds to go--unknown I used to weigh XX now I ONLY weigh XX :smile2: --Whillow I "ONLY" lost 145 pounds.--TaraJim (I love sarcasm) Anyone else know of a better way to use only?

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. Unfortunately I am the same way sometimes, I really have to be kicked in the head to make drastic changes, but then once I do, I wonder what took me so long? Why was I resisting it so much? (I hope this comparison doesn't offend you, since I don't know you I am assuming this is the same for you, but it may not be.) My practical advice is this. It sounds like your port is in a strange spot, I would find a fill Dr who uses floro. Mine does and she has never poked me more than once. Insist on numbing medicine, that way if they do have to try more than once it wont hurt. Go to the Dr. if they get your other issues under control with medicine it will help feel better and will help you lose weight. As far as the money goes, at this point you are pot committed so go ahead and go all in. I don't know where you are but in Dallas fills under floro are $200. So even if you end up needing 5 to get to a point of restriction that is only $1000. Would you give $1000 more to have your life back? Remember if the band worked without fills, it wouldn't have a port! So find a Dr, find a fill center, and get your life back. You can do it! We are here to help you, once you start getting restriction everything you know about dieting works!

Bumping up the spreadsheet!

Your Dr can give you anti nausea medicine, that will give your stomach a chance to rest and heal, it is probably just swollen. What ever it is you need to see your doctor asap if you cant keep down liquids.

I'm glad you got my joke about the name of your town. Congratulations on your date. I really found a lot of good information on this site, I find the differences between what the American and Australian doctors advice interesting.

But as the above post proves, you can not have one with out the other, as you have been claiming over and over. You have been saying that man needs faith alone but now you are saying if he has faith alone that shows his faith is not real. Which is it? ETA-- I noticed that you left out verse 26, 26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. Dont you want to address this one as well?

Hey Marianne! Welcome, we are glad your here. Whats a Wollongong? Is that Onterio?

The tighter I am the more belching, gurgling, hiccuping, I do. Right now I am very tight and I gurgle everything I drink. Someone on this board compared it to one of those water dispensers that are in the offices with the big water bottle on top. You know how they kind of gurgle? I think its a sign of restriction.

I knew you would not be able to admit you were wrong. Patty says: You either believe all he says or none of it, but you can't believe only the part that you think makes sense to you and discard what you feel doesn't make sense. But then she discards the scriptures that I just quoted. The bible clearly says: As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. What part of "FAITH WITHOUT DEEDS IS DEAD" is not clear to you? And again: 22You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And again: 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. It is said three times, because he meant it. You dont get to take the part you like and discard the rest. Its all or nothing.
