Id like one thorough sex addiction please...and a side order of shopaholicism, perhaps a narcisism chaser....

Big, i eat them all the time. I love them. THey are perfect for lunch to me. i esepecially like the chicken salad.

yep. when i dont overeat, i dont feel anything, and wonder if i really have a band in there. when i eat too fast, !!! or try to eat manicotti or eggrolls....it gets stuck, and all i want to do,at any expense, is walk, walk walk until it passes. it might not actually do anything, but the three times ive had it happen all i can do is get the heck out of there and walk, or bend over and wait. then walk some more. Like a knot of stuck wet dough is cought in my lower chest, if that makes any sense at all.

hey. i gym every day too. i WISH there was a steamroom! but there isnt in mine. I shower and everything there too to get ready for work after. RECENTLY, the last two weeks actually. ive not gone BECAUSE i was sick with a bad cold, as well as wonderful female problems. I just didnt want to spread the love, so to speak...so i stayed home. Im waiting to go back soon. I would have gone in today but we got hit with ferocious snow. (i vote dont go, the strangers and friends you dont make sick wont curse you later..cause they saw you sneezing and knew it was you!

check out an author named SARK. She helped me a LOT. you can see what her books are like over at www.planetsark.com it might not do anything for you at all...but i found her by accident and she was right what i needed. (all about self acceptance n stuff) also... you know perfect is impossible, right? at my thinnest i still had a jlo bottom before jlo they just said we had fat bottoms and no one had dances or songs about it. i also have a bulbous nose and large bags under my eyes that ive had since i was ten or so. your not alone. you have us. I think often we think our wieght is our biggest problem and that if we could just lose it, then we would have NO problems and thats not true. You already know that. please keep us posted as to how things work out okay?

wait wait wait!!!! i gurgle!!i gurgle!!!!! ive asked a lot of people about gurgling and no one seems to know what im talking about and everyone looks at me funny. FOR ME it sounds JUST LIKE sludge going down a pvc pipe. After a few test runs i think ive figured out what it is... for me, i think its Soup. I LOVE cambells tomato and rice soup UNDELUTED. its thick and i dig it... anyway after i eat it, about twenty minutes later i gurgle. To me the sensation is pleasant, even....relieving... your not a loon. I gurgle!!!

CanMacDaddy said just what i wanted to say... i think theres a real issue with addiction with most of us, and that the LACK OF IT makes the other areas we are usually obsessed over make them seem more intense. we are just intense people.

i agree, thats gotta be fluid hon. Being well is most important. You'll lose it in weight soon enough.

hahahaha...i had flavored cardboard for breakfast. someone already mentioned a online program for tracking your calories/excercise. Someone from on here recommended www.fitday.com to me, then my nutritionalist required it! i love it. IF YOUR HONEST with it, and list what you eat, and how often you excercise (it breaks it down as to what kinds etc) it is a wonderful way of keeping track of not only your calories, but also your carb intake, your fat intake, your vitamin requirements etc. I usually hit it twice a day to maintain it. good luck!

man, a million or two dollars in his pocket and he still cant keep his neighbors from looking over his fence into his kitchen? you are right..thats a cryin' shame.

im hungry too. i know why though.. im so fertile. so very, very fertile.

jack...you rock.

ahahaha mary i do that too...its when i break into "its got to be real" at the gym and all those sticks with hair turn and look at me indignantly that i know ive gone too far. DISCO ROCKS AT THE GYM. I know...before everyone goes "boo hiss" you should try it! especially ones you know you already kinda like. you know the ones, "lets groove tonight, and share the spice of life, soemthing or other , we gonna groove tonight" on a treadmill, thirty minutes fly and you are grateful you didnt fall, and dont even know it passed...plus you feel great. hip hop too works especially well...."man its good 2B a gangster" makes me smile. Im so white im green but thats what i like about it. for twenty minutes i can dance along with missy elliot "slide" and whatnot and pretend wed be great friends if she only knew me.

i lover you guys. i want to give you a hug and snuggle. Id been feelin bad about my habits recently and stumbled onto this post. Wheet, come here and gimme sugar! you guys are wonderfully supportive and i really cant wait till i get some good restriction. Im supposed to be taking bites teh size of my surgeons pinky finger and by the time i get to the food im ravenous, and catch myself gulping before i see the image of his pinky fingernail again in my head. Great...im obsessed over my surgeons pinky fingernail. fantastic.... so anyway..thanks! i also think the prepackaged ind servings of stuff, while not as cheap as buying in bulk, does help a LOT with "Okay...stop now and do something else" part of the band.

Rossi, we are basicly on the same schedule! i was banded feb 13, first fill 1.5 march 19 and next fill is april 27th. Ive lost some with working out and REALLY TRYING to keep responsible about diet. (www.fitday.com) but in the last week its come to a screeching halt. Ive been sick and not too attentive about food, no working out since cant get to gym. depressed cause theres snow all over my truck and im going nowhere. IT WILL GET BETTER. im going to TRY to get to the gym today and at least do some cardio. i also chose oatmeal this morning instead of other stuff so im trying again today to get atop of it as best i can. I know what you mean though, yesterday i ate FOUR pieces of toast in oil and balsamic vinegar an hour after eating lunch. its tough. I hope our next fill is better. I love my dr, and im sure its just first fill and winter blues...

Lise, Im in Presque Isle, Maine. it snowed AGAIN last night. my truck is up to the top of its windows. Im going NOWHERE. maybe clean the house, braid my dogs fur, color my hair...if i have stuff to do it. i dunno.

thats the part i like...it helps keep cravings at bay and makes you feel like your not starving to death! dont forget your calcium, iron, and extra vit c with this strange weather. Listen, ive been sick for over a WEEK, and now im SNOWED IN TOO! its been snowing here literally for two weeks now. Every night we get a new blanket. THere are literally feet of snow on my roof right now. isnt it april? i f$*%&$(ng hate snow.

BUTT NAKED at home...and if the scales dont start to move again i swear ill start strippin at the dr office too. Funny...last time i was there it ws RIGHT after id been walking on the beach and i had my flipflops on. i took them off and stepped on the scale and i still had sand and little seashells on my feet, plus they were wet with seawater. i left a mess. i didnt mean to, just did. figured that stuff must weigh five lbs right? plus five lbs for my shoes, five for my clothes....

wow butch...what a journey youve made. Kudos to you man. youve lost half of yourself!

(put on four lbs this week)

the chat room is very cool! theres just no body in there. maybe we can do a meeting time where we can get in there and chat! would be nice to talk to you guys in real time! anyone interested?

i think that all guns should be illegal to own. period. I think they kill a lot of people who would be alive if they werent so available. I think they are instruments of destruction and should be illegal. I vote. regularly. i dont care if you disagree with me on this one.

i think its a great idea... what time would be good? six pm?

okay.. my doctor put me on a Multivitamin supplement. and when i ran out of the liquid i went to chewable, plus i take extra Calcium (because im female and i know ill need it later and wish my mom would have taken it sooner) and Iron (because im slightly anemic) and extra vit c because im getting over a bad cold. i also take chromium picolinate daily. If i could get on phentermine again i probably would. I had a pleasant experience on it before. I think that its a mistake to expect the band to do all the work. It means you didnt listen to the doctors, or any of the support sites or any of the websites from the manufacturers. it blows my mind sometimes to hear people all agast that their band "didnt work" when they eat donuts and cheeseburgers all day. before anyone even goes there YES im pms'n....

teach, ive posted this in other threads... but did i ever tell you about my birthday cake addiction? two years ago i quit smoking (three packs a day) and replaced it with commit losenges, then i was addicted to those for many months, then i said, If i can go without one for a week ...on a thursday, then id let myself have one of those little birthday cakes they make in the bakery for one person? so then i was addicted to birthday cakes.... im wondering whats next too....
