I hate it when people post just to post.....

i sometimes catch myself grocery shopping staring into others baskets.....i know, i have issues - but i do it..:cursing:

Interesting. Is it to see what others are getting, or do you find yourself "missing" or yearning for some items?

Do you mind if I ask: But do you go to a counselor that specializes in eating disorders? I would like to find one. I've used counselors before, but I thought if I got one that specifically deals with these issues along with the core problems that led to our obesity, it would be a definite bonus. I have to believe they exist -- I just haven't looked yet.

I don't mind you asking at all. My counselor does specialize in eating disorders. I looked in the yellow pages and found several that specialized in eating disorders.

i'm just a nosy b&^%$# :cursing:

but i do catch myself while in line looking at others carts - not to feel better about myself or i'm "missing" something - i'm more shamed of previous gluttony of mine.

i'm in a unique position than most here - i have no kids & dh is also banded. i can keep stuff at bay & out of the house. if i have a craving (and it's usually chips/queso/margarita) - i go to it rather than have it in house..

It's funny that you mention that. If it were just me and DS in the house, I could get away with buying nothing but band friendly foods. He only eats junk when he is with DH. DH refuses to eat even remotely healthy. I have to buy chips and cake. Thankfully, I wasn't a big chip eater before, but Cookies and ice cream are evil! I try to "forget" to buy them.

Is anyone else not receiving e-mail notifications from lapbandtalk? I haven't received any notifications since yesterday afternoon.

It comes and goes for me.

Hi everyone. I miss ya'll. My puter is down. It has been for a few days now. I am at my DD's right now. I don't have time to read any. I thought I would let you know I will be back asap! Take care!

Man, do I feel your pain there!

PJTP from labor & delivery... yup, again...

Allright! Broadcasting from the L&D! *Fingers crossed*

hello meat eaters...

Hello. My name is Trey and I'm a meat eater.

CC - I still can't decide if I need an unfill. I went out to dinner tonight and got a salad/BP. It hurt a little when the potato hit my stomach and I could tell that I needed to slow down. All - should it hurt?? I've PB'd a couple times this week. One day I tried a salad w/ chicken and OMG soooooo much pain; I didn't think that I was going to make it to the RR

Assuming you are 1) Not eating too fast 2) chewing very thoroughly 3) not eating too much, then yes, sounds like maybe you need a bit of an unfill.

Ok, why can't we turn off the internal clock on the weekends? I have been up since before 5. That would be great on the days I work, but I should be able to sleep in on the weekend.***stomping foot like a petulant child***

Heehee....Slim said "petulant". I love that word.

SNT - I've been contemplating a cut too. My hair is halfway down my back but every time I mention cutting it my DH makes his "Nazi" face.

LOL........What's a "Nazi" face?

Football, blech. I can't wait till February when Nascar season starts again.

This is blasphemy!

ok - football is over for me; sucks the lifeblood of my household from aug - jan.......back to normal or something like that here at the homestead.

BLASPHEMY, I say!

That is my fear. That I'll shave it off and not have a nice head.

I'm afraid I'd have an unknown birthmark in an awkward shape.....that'd be my luck

LOL, and some ugly dog-faced guy called me a c*nt. That place is eeeeevil.

Sorry. I just got carried away.

Basically, I'm kind of an idiot. And my brethren and I have lots of time on our collective hands to come up with stuff like this.*

*Ok, so my wife is actually a pretty good photographer, and she took a series of pics kinda like this around a campfire, playing around with different parts of my face shadowed by my hoodie and the fire. Artsy stuff. I liked some of the poses, so I just snapped a replication on my cheapy-o webcam, because she hadn't uploaded her pics from her camera.

i still think he looks like OB Wan (One?) from star wars...

I can only dream of being Obi Wan......or his master Qui-Gon Jinn. Yep, I'm a Star Wars geek.

He steals meds from his hospital.

shaving my head: Oh HELL no (medical complications notwithstanding). My hair's fine but it's kind of a security blanket plus I have a majorly round face so shoulder-length hair helps my face look a little less round!

PJTP - I've got to call my doc b/c I am seriously way too tight. I almost PB'd at lunch and I went to dinner tonight and maybe got done 6-8 bites of a caesar salad. Ugh! I got up to PB but the walking made it OK.

Paint me surprised - not!

Speaking of your wife's photography skills, I seem to recall a certain someone promising that his wife would take proper pics of the full glory! So where are my pics, dammit!!! *stomps foot*

I like the first answer better. It "fits" you more. ha ha I can see the Jedi master coming out of you.

SNT-I am glad you are calling the doctor. You do sound just a little too tight. Of course, having never actually experienced this(restriction), I am simply going on how uncomfortable that sounds.

It hurts like hell...almost like it's burning as it goes down - even mashed potatoes!

Fanny, I've decided that I'm going to take my "mo skin" photos at my one year bandiversary. That's Feb. 22nd.....so give me until then. I'm thinking that I might PM or Email whoever wants to see. That way, I'm hitting a happy medium between full disclosure and foisting unwanted pics on innocent bystanders, LOL.....I don't expect them to be pretty.

I'm still unsure about posting anything "in public" on here.
