Whippledaddy saunters up to the seedy looking gent on the streetcorner. He whispers an aside to this man "Ya got it?"

The man nods, and slips him a bundle, taking an envelope from Whip.

Whippledaddy hurries to a motel room where he takes a laptop out of the bundle, plugs it in to the wall and the phone jack, teetering while it boots and loads, then a click and his eyes roll back, a look of joy on his face, LapBandTalk on his screen.

See. I was hooked on the bigger stuff, like chatrooms and internet romance once, so LBT is like a halfway house to me. lol. I did good. I didn't even take my laptop to Vegas! This is quite a victory for me. I don't think I've been anywhere in the past 7 years without a computer. I didn't even get the DT's or anything. I'm FREE, I'm FREE!!

It struck me as I was reading this hilarious thread that I,too, am addicted. I admit it. I don't post all that much, but even before I met so many of you I felt like I knew you all pretty well.

I know I check in so often because this journey can feel very solitary. Other peope can empathize but they don't "know" like you all do.

What a great addiction to have- a place where you feel safe enough to bare your soul or just to vent about an every day gripe. We are so lucky to have each other!

I've been quiet lately. It's because I'm sick with addiction. I was on my way to a Lapbandtalk Anonymous meeting to accept a two-day chip, but then I logged on. My work Christmas party is scheduled for December 11, and during the party, my boss passes out bonus checks based on performance. I'm ashamed, very ashamed because I no longer work, I just post. I was able to get the band based on a Christmas bonus that I have yet to earn. Post post post post post. All post and no play makes Jack a dull boy. POST. post. PoSt. pOsT. Post post post post.

Tall guy, will you be my secret band boyfriend? All our secrets are safe in here. Do you mind that I pee my pants every time I log on? It's Darcy's fault. Just picturing her picturing my port while she's supposed to be picturing her hubby doing her makes me tinkle while simultaneously shooting Water out of my nose. I'm very attractive.

Personally I think your all sick people. LOL

Take two asprins and call me in the morning.

See you at the Support Meeting queenmichelle....If I can push myself away from the computer long enough to go.

I lost two pounds last week and I think I know why...Someone here is playing a cruel joke on me. Whenever I turn on the computer it says "You've got mail" I then run upstairs and out the door to the street and check the mailbox. Nothing there. Oh well I'm getting the excerise. This happens at least 20 times a day. Trouble is here at work I can't go outside and check for mail. I'm confused. Mailperson doesn't deliver during my midnite shift.

At least being here I can count myself as being in with the most helpful and generious people in the world...

It's 5:30 a.m., and I'm already back. The adrenaline, the fear, and the anxiety... what if the site is down? Then again, what if it's NOT! Breathe, breathe.... deep sigh of relief. What a rush!

LOL your funny Delarla.

I am on here at work on midnites and for hours I'm the only one signed on. Boy is that ever a lonely feeling.

But I at least get a lot of reading on the post done. I do enjoy this site very much.

Behave

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
