Donna113 2 Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Mine starts Christmas Eve and I won't go back until January 5th. Love it! 11 consecutive days off but because of holidays and weekends, only 5 vacation days used. Still will have 12 more days to use through November '09. We have a use it or lose it policy and I've lost vacation and personal days all three years that I've been there. My New Year's goal is to use up ALL of my 17 vacation days and 8 personal days, even if it's only to lie out by the pool sipping fruity drinks!

*susan* 1,709 Posted December 19, 2008 I don't have a sweet tooth, that was never my problem. I guess you could say I have a salt tooth. I have major issues with the crunchy, salty stuff. I can't leave them alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted December 19, 2008 Ok,I have a question for those of you banded for a while. How long, after you eat something, would it take to get the painful in the chest stuck feeling? I have never experienced that one (thank GOD), but didn't know how long it took to get to that part of the stomach. I just had my 3rd fill on Tuesday and the doctor said this should be my fill that MAKES me have to follow my band rules. I don't feel it yet, but I want to be prepared. Ok, back to the regularly scheduled hilarity. ;-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donna113 2 Posted December 19, 2008 I'm 5 months out and I've only experienced that painful feeling when I ate too fast or had one bit too much. Since my 5th fill, it hasn't happened at all. I think mostly because I'm very careful to chew thoroughly and I haven't overeaten since the last fill because my appetite has decreased way down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just had my 3rd fill on Tuesday and the doctor said this should be my fill that MAKES me have to follow my band rules. I don't feel it yet, but I want to be prepared. for me, 3 fast bites in - i still have first bite syndrome, and i must wait till it all goes down; like 10mins. i've had 8 fills , 3 unfills, 1 fill. for me it's all about taking my time eating and not being too hungry when i do. ok - hubby's company party tonight. got my grey's touched up, facial, massage & a cute leather outfit. thought it would be colder in TX today when i bought it - but i'm still wearing those pants:tongue:. not really a dancing party - in a restaurants wine cellar w/a private chef....PLEASE let him cook band friendly food:rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceradad 10 Posted December 19, 2008 a cute leather outfit. thought it would be colder in TX today when i bought it - but i'm still wearing those pants:tongue:. Did you have to mention the pants? The images that were coming to mind.:biggrin: But, I digress, have fun tonight. As for me, I am going to my best friends Masters graduation (I almost put BFF, but thought that would too gurly:biggrin:). Then, off to dinner with a bunch of cops celebrating one of our own being smart. Of course, he is a from Texas so we were really surprised he could handle the college classes.

Ceradad 10 Posted December 19, 2008 Zing! On a similar vein, how many Okies have you met? Well, on my grandmothers side, I have a few relatives from Okla. But, I never see them. Also, last year when I went down to a Cowboys game, my friend and I met a bunch of ladies from Okla. at a tattoo shop that flirted with us most of the night and even invited us to drinks. So, I have no problems with Okies.:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
