hey thanks insub! let me know what you guys think, and if theres anything else you guys find...please pass it along! they also had it shaped like egg noodles too.

I found this in a kroger here in galveston. i KNOW they dont have it up north but if you can find it, you can use it JUST LIKE SPAGHETTI! seriously, this meal tonight is one of the most satisfying meals ive had since being banded. its tofu. its shaped like Pasta and has roughly the same taste and texture as cooked spaggetti. this brand is called shirataki tofu and is produced by House Foods. i got it in the fresh produce section where they have all the tofu and textured soy products. tonight i cooked three oz of ground turkey with a tablespoon olive oil and a couple of pinches of fresh oregano. added enough ragu to make it look good, drained a serviing of the tofu shirataki, microwaved it for a minute over a paper towel, plated it. next to that i opened and cut up one and a half oz of armenian string cheese and about the same amount in sliced bosc pear. outstanding dinner, i highly recommend it. just dont eat it really fast like we used to do spaggetti, eat slow and enjoy!

man its like night and day! i left it snowing and grey, and the MINUTE i got off the plane i felt like the humidity and temperature hugged me and that feeling has stayed with me. Im SO excited to be here. I just got back from the seawall with the convertable (rental car) top down, watching all the brown naked people in the surf. Lovely! I cant wait to get a nice layer of sunburn going. I havent even taken my bike out yet! woo! thats next!

hi damngrahams, I dont know. im off track with the meetings. I just flew in a few days ago into Galveston from maine (and boy are my arms tired). Keep in touch with me and as soon as i can find out ill let you know. anyone else know when the tomboll support meetings are?

Wheet, if you look, i HAVE tried reporting this issue for the last two months. there are three seperate email reports to administration that even quote the post that offended, and my issue with it, (three) Nothing was ever done. and again, my question is WHY am I the one being told this now? (i understand hazel and i think she does too) but why me? From the first time i felt this way i started reading about what to do to remedy it and tried to do that. What happens to them? ALL OF THEIR POSTS TO ME INITIALLY THAT I WROTE IN ABOUT??? and its laurend too, not just wasa, but laurends post follow wasa's so closely that i thought anyone rational would see whats going on. The reports got sent, nothing was done. I dont think anything WILL happen either. again, the only person hurt by this is me. I actually came to the board for support. I dont know WHY they come.

wheet, i made that post as humorous. I was trying to lighten the issues between me and wasabubblebutt. My boys play paintball all the time, and usually it makes things better after.Its a lot of fun, and it came right after a pretty severe lashing from her on another thread, and i knew she was following me from thread to thread. I thought that she would find humor in it. Several times i have tried to lighten the subject. when i do it , im 'attacking' when SHE does it, and i respond to it, im 'taking things too personally'. My aunt is right, i do feel like i cant even post anywhere anymore on this board. Unfortunately the only person that this hurts is me. I dont live near (or even in the same sate) as a support group and have needed this board, as i have stated MANY times in letters to administration about this specific issue. (i dont think there is administration anymore, sort of like the wizard in the wizard of oz). I am going back to Houston with my aunt and will be able to attend a support group there in person, very soon, so its all good. We leave tomorrow morning. it all goes back to the post i made that wasa took personally that wasnt even about her in the first place...where i spoke about how people treat each other online. I read your post on another thread about what happens to people's maturity when they sign online, the types of personalities that support boards draw and i couldnt agree more. i am just someone who lives way up in the sticks, was banded, and rebanded in houston, and struggling and looking for help. What i got met with was bullying. I tried confronting it, i tried ignoring it, ive brought family in and sorry hazey but that made the situation worse and still...nothing changes. Its one thing to walk into a room and slap someone. its another thing completely to go somewhere for SUPPORT and get slapped in the face. you know?

i weighed 259 at drs office last time there when i came in and was too tight. he loosened me up, i went up to 262 (was my tom too), then i went in and he tightend me up again, and i left there at 259 again. I got down to 258 and then its stayed there. Im currently at 259. Im at great restriction right now. I dont think i need a fill. i dont think i need an unfill either. im feeling pretty good. i eat small portions and im feeling a sense of satisfaction afterwards that lasts a while. Im still doing several protein drinks a day because im a bit paranoid about not getting in enough protein and vitamins. i dont mind this i actually like them. Im two days away from going back to galveston again. I really cant wait. the sooner i can get busier again and get away from the rants and raves section of this board the better my life gets. This is where i feel very sorry for wasastillisaasshole: i leave the house. I ride my bike and interact with real live people. I have a very interesting life, where all she has is this. Ive thought about it. and ive decided that maybe shes a mentally challenged housebound person and CANT leave her house. Thats why shes on here 24/7 and why she has to chime in on each and every single post made on the board. in her mind it IS the wasabubblebitch show. Poor thing! At the end of the day, i have the love of a family and man. At the end of her day, she has....posts. :heh:

I had the balls to voice a disagreement with something she said was wrong on a thread. it started with her following me. I at first tried talking to her, then tried talking to admin about her via email, tried reporting the posts and NOTHING would stop her from following me around making sure i didnt get a chance to talk to anyone. I do NOT understand what is wrong with this twisted bitch but anyone that posts as OFTEN or as MUCH on this board as her has NO time for decent sleep offline, much less work. I cant post anywhere without her showing up. I cant go anywhere on the board where i cant find where shes been making fun of me. I do NOT know what i did to get her ass on fire other than disagree with her, but i have her blocked and its still not working. Im at the point where im about ready to give up on the support board here. It hasnt been very supportive. Im about ready to abandon the wasabubblebutt and her little bitch laurend show. I need this online drama like a hole in my head. :cry

i'll pm you

k, thanks hazel.

and, as you can see, so am i. should i unblock so we can talk? or is this going to go on until someone loses a finger or is it time to talk?

again with the flies! again guys..ive got you blocked, and you know this. i cant read your posts, i can just see your screename, and a thing that says: "this message is hidden because wasabubblebutt is on your ignore list" and of course, the same for your sidekick. Perhaps later there can be a meeting of the minds but for now, this is how its gotta be. Please just leave me alone?

hey, who let the flies in here? anyone got some bugspray? wasa, i still cant read you or your little sidekick puppy's posts, so unless what you wrote is an acceptance to have a friendly paintball match with me after i make goal, or something else friendly, supportive or pleasant, can you just go back to where you were playing?

hey these are really great ideas. I am like Jachut in that i used to buy a 'tub' of it, let it spend a few weeks in the fridge then toss it before it changed life forms. I couldnt get around it until recently. I found they sell it in small containers similar to activa yogurt in four oz individual containers and I LOVE THOSE, they are so fresh. I just put a packet of splenda in it and grab my baby spoon and im good. Something about KNOWING each serving is fresh matters to me for some reason. Maybe im weird.

jmcam, nothin to be afriad of, they are tiny and they only sting a little bit

derby, I know i can realate to what you described, and i think most of us here on this thread can too. I want you to know that i always want to hear about how you do, that your goal is a VALID AND WORTHWHILE goal (even if it isnt someone who's thinner goal) and that you are improving your life each and every day, even if its just a little thing. Sometimes we need days off and you know what? thats okay. YOU FIT IN HERE. right here. If you ever need to just vent, please know you are welcome, and that i will listen, i know everyone else on this thread will listen.

hehehe.. i think that would be a very healthy activity, as well as provide a great deal of emotional satisfaction. So we got two down for paintball at goal...anyone else?

Id like to have a paintball match with wasabubblebutt sometime. As a matter of fact, id like that very very much. maybe for my birthday? maybe if i make goal?

oh right on Bneely! Phyll, i wanted to post to say that i grabbed a friend yesterday and made it to the gym!!! we worked out much longer than i usually used to do on my own and it felt so great to be moving! we went swimming and sauna after! i have felt so much better today than usual and guess what? i seem to have more restriction too! (odd?) WOoho! someone in the house threw away the bag of miniature butterfingers. ive caught myself looking for them and glad i didnt find them. lol

hahahahahahah!!!!! I STAY COLD! i dig maine in the spring and summer but winters here suck! (if you are originally from the deep south especially) i have friends here that get out and snowshoe and all that but i just cant get into it. Ive wondered why some people get colder than others. My husband never gets cold when im sitting there chattering teeth.

sounds like theres a handful of us going through it. do you think it has something to do with halloween and all the candy laying around? the change in seasons maybe too? i know these things certainly get to me. Im to see my surgeon for a fill in a week, and im totally embarrassed. i havent even tried this month. Im trying again today and maybe i can shake it. it snowed again last night :::groan::::;

hey i think its a great idea to temp until you find out what rings your bell. You dont suck, I dont know if i would have made it the second day either.

Rainer is right, yall should come over to the supersized bandsters thread. ALL of us over there started out at the supermorbid obese level. We talk about special problems that pertain to us and support each others progress. heres the link: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f15/thread-super-sized-bandsters-starting-bmi-over-50-a-16168/
