Good morning all,

Glad to hear Lo2us that you are doing a little better. Take care of yourself and I want to hear about the size 6 jeans. It is such a distant dream for me right now, but I'm going to be just like you when I grow up. LOL

Julie, my hair is not thinning, but I'm just doing preventive care and I know that it won't hurt me, I'll have beautiful nails and hopefully my hair won't thin.

Hippmom, I hope that you are feeling better today. Hope the dark cloud has lifted.:rain: LOL, it's bound to be sunshine soon.

Morning, Lisa and Sugarbear. :bounce:

SIZE 6?????? Whoa! I have some of them some where. I think I have some 4's but they have been lost in the back of the closet so long, I bet they have discentigraded. (is that spelled correctly??)

Julie, boitin does not have a smell. Just don't snort it and you will be fine. lol

is it really so hard to get your daily intake of Protein that one needs to purchase the protein shakes/bars? Or are those just for quick fixes, out the door stuff?

Julie, To get your ticker, do this.....

1. open two windows, one to this site. go to your user CP (look up at the top of this page in the blue bar. click on user cp)

Then, edit signature. Leave this window at that spot and open the other window.

2. You can use any ticker site you want. I think most of us use tickerfactory.com. Follow the steps to make your ticker.

3. RIGHT CLICK ON THE PICTURE OF THE TICKER AND "COPY".

4. go back to the other window and "PASTE" the picture in the signature block. and then SAVE CHANGES at the bottom of the screen. That should do it. Be patient after you post the first time after making your ticker, it takes a second for it to attach.

Hope this helps.

I am having no problem getting my Protein in at this point. You just have to make good food choices. You will get the hang of it, just you wait and see.

LOL, this is too funny about the "ticker" thing. You had to tell me how to do it also. You are getting good practice. You need to create a web on how to do it and all we have to do is click on it. :bounce:

Thank you Lisa for being our "Ticker Master."

ALSO ...Did everyone notice how nice Lisa is being to poor Susan who fell and twisted her knee? I think there must is something else in that Biotin she's taking!? What ya'll think about that?

Did Betty leave for her trip yet? Wonder how the plane ride went? Haven't heard anything on the new about a passenger, foaming or sliming at the mouth have ya?

For those newcomers that don't know Betty(Sunlight), you'll have to read back a few pages.

Hope everyone had a good holiday.

Anyone else have an appointment Mon. a.m.?

Hello, all...just wanted to let you all know I am still alive and kicking...

Just been way too busy to get on in a while...I see there are lots of new faces on board...Glad to have you all...I am not new, just an old acquaintance from way back...

School is going good, I suppose, lots of grading, planning, etc...a lot different with these big guys than with the little ones...but I am surviving (I think!!)

Billy and I are doing well...He likes about 10 lbs being to his goal...I think he is at enough NOW...we'll see...I am doing fine...tightness is much better, sometimes I find that I think I may need another fill, but not sure...Not hungry, but I seem to be able to eat a little more than I could before...HUMMMM?

Anyway, you guys take care...I try and at least read often, even though I may not have time to reply...so I am keeping up with you all...Love seeing all your losses...Keep up the GREAT work!!!:whoo:

Good luck! I'll sure be thinking of you come Friday.

I too am worried about the $ part. No one has yet to discuss that part of it with me.

I go talk to the psych today and Monday do the sleep study. I'm getting really anxious. Can't hardly sleep for thinking about it all.

My daughter is an RN at St. Michael. She is wanting to get banded, but has to wait until her pregnancy is over.

I can't get a ticker because every site I find is blocked by our system. I'll figure soemthing out.

<p>See..... told ya, I ain't mean all the time. Susan, knows she can call me if she needs too. And yall can too. If I can help, I will. So...... nanna, nanna, boo, boo! And on top of all that, I can take it, tease for tease. Yall just DON'T know. lol Susan, where did you get that ticker? It's cool.</p> <p> </p> <p>Teresa, hang in there girl, it's gonna happen. Just remember to get up and walk as soon as possible. Being a nurse, you know the importance of all that junk, so be a good patient and do what you are supposed to. lol And don't give the other nurses any flack. People that work in the medical profession are the worst patients. I know.... I used to. (lab tech)Ticker looks great!</p> <p> </p> <p>Julie, good luck on psych evaluation and the sleep study. Might be a good thing that you can't sleep now. Maybe you will sleep during the study. I don't understand the "blocked" thing. Are you trying to do this at work, perhaps????? <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="60" class="inlineimg" /> </p> <p> </p> <p>Hi sugarbear..... I'm trying to be nice. lol And there is nuthin in my Biotin. lol <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="60" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Yall have a good day! Stay dry!</p>

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
