Oh, sorry Pammy....yes, I got your check. Thanks! Nice doin' business with you!

I'm 16 months out and still get shoulder pain.... but only when I've over-eaten. It can be miserable, can't it?? And yes, the problem is that you don't feel it until it's way too late to do much about it.

Oh!! I forgot to tell you guys that I sold my first piece of jewelry on Etsy today.....to a member of the general public!! I was thrilled!! Pam, it was the square link silver bracelet like you have.

It's been raining here every day for about 2 weeks.... I wish you could hear this BULLfrog outside my door right now!! The frogs are loving this weather! "Only" about 5 more weeks of hot weather. Ugh.

I remember my first meal...it was baked fish, green Beans and mashed potatoes. I had about 1 tablespoon of each and chewed it 'til it was mush! LOL! Oh, and I waited about 2 mins. between each bite. When I survived that meal I ate again the next day. And the next. And the next... You'll be fine. Just go real easy.

Ho hum.

I've been on LBT a long time and have been banded for 15 months myself. I've never heard of this reaction. Please call your doctor on Monday and in the meantime, I think I'd stay on liquids.

Judy, Did you see this post...girl's from Alpena! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18/cannt-keep-up-my-3-boys-alpena-mi-73642/

Laura - you should go to the nutrition section of the pharmacy or grocery store and get 'booster' drinks like "Ensure"....not apple juice. They'll have all the nutrition you need until you can get some real food in.

I think the advice is not to start 'eating for two' until your 2nd trimester....no increase in calories until then. Increase nutritional value of your food, but not calories. Your baby isn't even as big as a bean yet!! You should only gain like 3-4# in your first trimester. Be careful!!

Ooops!! Was I supposed to ask Richard first?? Forgot that little detail!

lol..........That was too funny...........!!

Yeah, I was some kind of pissed! We booked 5 rooms MONTHS in advance and they give us a room whose window/balcony is about 20' from the huge building under construction next door. So I called to have them move us to another room....and they said, "but you didn't request it! Perhaps next time you book with us, you need to let us know that you want a river view." I was just pissed!! We paid for a "Suite" too! It was a rip-off all the way around. I'll never stay at or recommend that hotel again! I also don't remember reading or being advised in any way that the lobby was under construction!! Yuck!! I am just not that crazy about San Antonio....never have been.

DEPOSIT is $60 each. (Not you, Laura) Anytime in the next month is fine. I'm charging it to my card.

I feel ya, Kat! I recently closed all my accounts at Chase Bank....I've wanted to do it for years 'cause they are the Rolls Royce of bank fees, I tell ya!! So I finally did it when they lost one of my deposits and I had to wait for DAYS for them to reconcile the situation. Oh, what JOY I took in pulling my funds from that bank....all $800 of them!! LOL I'm sure they're sorry to see ME go!! That'll teach 'em! Laura - what a RIP OFF!! Good for you! You musta learned something from me at the hotel in SA!! Things with my son are alright. His doctor is on vacation this week and I'll feel better after I am able to talk to her and get him lined up with a psychotherapist....IF I can get him to go. Big IF. Mom is doing actually very well lately. She's back on solid foods. BAMA: Deposit that is due will be $60.00 each.

Suzie!!!!!!!!!!! :wink2: That sucks! Surely we are within driving distance for you!?

Jennifer - Huntsville, AL is the airport.

Ok, so I guess I'll book the place then! I'll do it tomorrow from work. I think Suzie is the only one who hasn't chimed in yet. Everyone else is a GO, right? Kat Terry Jane Judy Jenn TracyK TracyM Haydee Laura+1 tee hee Michelle Pamela Suzie? You in?

Me, too ........ 2.2 cc is too loose, 2.3 is better, but still too loose....2.6 and I'm sliming and PBing like mad. 2.4cc is probably where I'll end up. So just a 0.2-0.3cc makes all the difference in the world.

omg!! Rofl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone want to stay 4 nights instead of 3??? (I know I'm not going to want to leave!!)

Man, what I would have given for this kind of treatment!!! Yep, Laura, you definitely need to circle those dates on your calendar and let nothing interfere!! You will be soooooooo ready!

OH, and I propose that Laura will not have to pay a thin dime for anything! Agreed?

Here's something to consider....or is my logic flawed?... Let's play out this hypothetical scenario: 6 people can commit now, 5 cannot. Fast forward to April and final headcount is 7 people in, 4 cannot make it. 7 people have to split the cost of the house + rent cars making the total for lodging and transportation about $100 more per person than if the whole group were able to go. So...whoever commits has to realize that the price can fluctuate $100-150 before all is said and done.

Guntersville Vacation Rental, Guntersville Single Family Rental - Wyeth Luxury Waterfront Home, Sleeps 16 There are 6 bedrooms and it's $525/night + tax (usually 10%+) + $175 cleaning fee, so that's about $2000 for lodging. Divided by _____ how many? Airfare now is about $300 round trip for direct flights. We'll need some rent cars too. Prolly about $150 each.
