Hey Rick Santorum, in case you have forgotten, The First Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

thankful we did not have any storm damage last night, but my heart goes out to those who did in the Topeka/Lawrence area.

My heart goes out to ALL the victims and families of the Ohio school shooting, including the shooter who is obviously troubled. Sadly, This all stems from Bullying! He was bullied and snapped, not making excuses for him, but the bullying BS has got to stop! Bullying does no good for anyone, causes nothing but pain!

Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed!

FYI to parents picking up your kids from school, DO NOT leave huge gaps between cars, like enough room that 3 cars could fit. Pull your freaking car forward. Its not going to get scratched and its not that damn sacred! I am just saying. ugh!

nope, you are not alone. i am 10 months out now, lost 52 lbs, but down 5 dress sizes. i still have that big plate mentality, will probaly always have it unfortunately. i am tight in the mornings and lunch, so i usually cant eat much then. i have a protein shake in the morning, and for lunch is usually tuna or chicken salad, something soft but filling. at dinner is when my band is looser and i can ea with no problems. i drink warm tea or coffee and that helps with the tightness.

What part do people not get that eliminating collective bargaining rights for unions is one step towards eliminating all workers rights for everyone, union or non union. once that bargaining chip is gone, there is no longer any competition for pay rates, therefore employers will decrease your pay and there is nothing you can do about it since there will be no more workers rights once unions are gone. therefore the middle class will be no more, leaving only very rich and very poor! mark my wor...

I Failed The Lapband - Please Help Me.
screeden replied to Suznty's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
you did not fail. you just need to start over with the basics. chalk it up to a lesson learned and start again. yes you have 85 lbs to go, but you have lost 45 so far. that is not failure. -
listen to your trainer. you are burning fuel and then you have none left essentially. try some greek yogurt before a workout or a smoothie. you work out more, you burn more, you eat more. you will lose more inches than lbs, there is an almost 2 month "lag time" from inches lost to lbs lost. but it will catch up. i have been told and read that eating more protein will help you lose the weight as it builds muscle.

wait, this is YOUR decision, not his. do the research and do the surgery that you want and that you feel is best for you. My surgeon does not do the gastric bypass because most people gain all the weight back and he feels it is not successful. he does the banding and the sleeve and says that is up to the patient. did he give the reasons why he feels the band is a better choice? maybe you should consult with another surgeon. I am very happy with my band. but i have a friend who had the sleeve and she has been very successful. everyone is different. it is a tool, not an instant weight loss. yes there are people who are not successful at the band. make a list of the pros and cons of each and go from there. talk to people who have had the band or sleeve. wishing you the best
