Thats horrible........

I'm full............. the glutton that I am had tuna and crackers for lunch....

I do not seem to have a problem with crackers......... hmmmmmmm maybe I WILL go ahead and get a fill on Monday.

DF and I are talking about going to the courthouse and getting hitched in secret so that I can add him and the boys to my insurance now and then have the family ceremony in March... (since he is making a job change) What are everyones thoughts on keeping this a secret from the family?

Tracy - my aunt did that, she did it small and simple and didn't even have a formal ceremony, they had a huge clam steam with 200 people. It was one of the best weddings. My friend just left here, ds's speech therapist, she is getting married on a local cruise ship, simple, hot and cold buffet and desert and not cake.

i say go for it. make it enjoyalbe with little stress.!!!! and the insurance is worth it.

LOL

I'm going to ask for a fill on Tuesday...I'm just worried - I'm at 2.8 in my band...what happens when I get close to 4 and possibly need more fills??? Has anyone seen this happen to anyone? I've seen it once on a board and they said that the doc said no more fills....

Tracy I say GET MARRIED!! If you both are happy and you're doing it for all of the right reasons, who cares if it's in secret...?? Nobody will know but the two of you! That way you can Celebrate 2 anniversaries!! hehe

Tracy~

Get married!!! How romantic. Don't tell anyone, it is only your business! And still plan for a wedding in March!

Kity- There ARE quack doctors in Mexico (just like USA), I was talking about the prominent doctors, but they believe they're all quacks due to the hype you see on TV about the mexican doctors that butcher people.

[Daisalana 33]

Tracy- Do it!

Adorable- You can over-fill your bands, I forget the numbers, but I think 4cc can be filled to 7cc--safely.

I've been doing good, keeping up with my myplate.com thing, to track food intake.

Even on my 'binge' days when I'm craving all kinds of CRAP, my highest calories is 1800-2300. Since my metabolic test from my first surgeon said 3400 calories to maintain my weight, I don't beat myself up over it.

Yesterday though, we were on our way to a steak house, we passed Steak & shake and DH wanted to go there.. said he hasn't had it since it opened in our town (which is good IMHO), so we went. BOO!!

OMG.. I was putting it in myplate today, I had 2800 calories yesterday.. ALL BECAUSE OF STEAK & SHAKE. I told him, the food wasn't even good enough to justify that kind of calories (They made up for about 2,000 calories I had yesterday).. ridiculous.. absolutely ridiculous.

So yea, no more S&S ever again for me.

WATER CHECK!!!????????

ME: Slacking.. getting ready to get glass number 2 for today! (20 oz glass)

[mdrai 3]

Hey Tracy... Because you asked... I say "NO" to secrets... even good ones... why go there if you don't have to?... they always come out, someone always gets mad, it just muddles everything up (ever watch a soap opera?)... + then why go thru all the stress of a "real" wedding in March? which won't be "real" really?... too much! I vote do it one way or the other: either have a court ceremony & then a big fun party, or do the March wedding w/reception... TOTALLY just my 2 cents worth!

I just finished 2nd 20oz.

didn't have breakfast... i'm so bad. I had shake for lunch - going to have a salad for dinner in a bit.

Hey Jen -- I see on your siggy that you reached your 2nd mini-goal today! Did I miss reading about it?? What was it & how fantastic did it feel??? Tell all!

[TerriDoodle 6]

I'm sliming on cottage cheese.

[mdrai 3]

Ack Terry! :omg:

No you didn't miss reading about it, I didn't put anything in there, I was going to wait until tomorrow when I held it for a day to really jump for joy.

It is so much easier to do the liquid thing after a fill when I know I can't physically eat, so even though i'm not really hungry, I want things. There is no way i'm even close to ready for a fill, so this is a head trip for me.

Tomorrow when I'm still down I'll jump and scream and yell how exciting LOL
