Guilty!! Especially when I was first banded, I noticed when I would cook I’d graze on what I was cooking then say to myself “what the F are you doing” and spit it out. I’ve done the sausage thing as well…just to suck the juices.

I'm so sorry They say there's a reason for everything. and Rocky needs you too.My condolences of your Grandma and Lulu.

I don't know what it is...But I just LOVE doing it outside!

My Dad was 62 and my Mother 42 when I was born... I just tossed that in

I was 37 and 42. I do not suggest waiting pass 40, It's just too tuff on our bodies. Besides the greater chance of the baby developing Spinal Bifida and Down syndrome as we age.

Just think of the anal gas that some of them get...for life. I've heard that they have to wear carbon filters in their underware?

It takes time, Just try to keep sipping, try your best to get more protien and water in. It's amazing how little the body can survive on. At least your not hungry. You still have swelling, that's why you had pain eating. Hiccups are very common for banders, but they should'nt hurt too much. Your still a baby bandster, take it easy.

So glad you had a great time. The pics are great! So I looked on 3 computers and you'all look sun-tanned??? and so beautiful!!!

We have great schools! In pre-school they're teaching Hunter that juice will keep you short and milk will make you grow. Roxanne is in 3rd grade and even in 1st they were teaching them which foods help to make you think oppose-to sugar rush high fat foods that make you sluggish. I have strict diner rules and serve lots of fish, fruits and vegis. Water is big thing in our house too. All said I'm watching Roxanne develope my body shape and have been buying more organic trying to keep the hormones down. I'm glad my kids are very active, but I'm still worried.

Congrats and so Cool!!! The weather has been good for a few days, I'll be heading your way this summer ....Disney that is I'm so hungry...don't list food like that

I called our divine one, …(yes Lisa da). last Tuesday 10 minutes just before American Idol cause I’m hooked… her last words to me were Chris bought me a new camera gonna learn all the features and take lots of pics and be back in 4 days. Iv got DeLarla withdrawals Back from New Orleans ? land of fun and... it's 5 days..miss you:faint:

Emily is in my thoughts and prayers and so is you and your family. I can relate, my son was in the hospital for 2 days due to severe pneumonia 2 years ago. Since then he has alergies and when he gets a cold he always gets an infection. Next week he is haveing tests for reactions and I can't give him any claritin, abutrol or flovent for 3 days prior.

Thank goodness no E This is interesting.I take Preacid everyday so I'll watching you:D

Started at 244 on 8/14/03 at 5' 5" and I'm currently 163!!! a size 10, I even went down a shoes size to 8 1/2. It took me 31 months. My goal is 157, it was 144 but it just seems to unrealistic.

Best wishes to you Kel

I'm afraid of losing my band and getting fat! The more I read and research, the band may not be a life time device. So I’ve been thinking of plan B and how to live without a band if it had to be removed. I live each day for today!

Jonathan, You are in my thoughts and prayers

Your pics are cute, We had snow...right before you, were in the line I bundled the kids in snow gear and hats, drove around to the state park, and they closed the road. I was so pissed. caused my kids have never seen snow here. you've got some good coverage can we come and play

With my first band, I had no heart burn ever (didn't have a great weight loose 50 lbs in 1.5 years) OK that's pretty good The smaller band I have now gives me grief every day! prelosec, tums. Big change to how much i can eat.

I had so many of your quotes to quote and so mad! This is just BS, I'm so mad but know that in this life we are all treated one way or an other. I don't know about your endo but I think this doc's got smarts, throid meds are not to be messed with MPO..It just feel like your going to the ends of the earth for anwsers. I wish i could be at airport with you. Been so busy but thinking about U

I just bought some shoes yesterday...pink, purple... that light up? just like my kids, got to have them!I figured you were down south? not yet, your that busy, that's great$$$$

I'm still in shock Kelly, it's gone! Ya after 5 days id be pissed off too I remember your PM asking about your sister and a leak. I have a small band and i feel/don't feel restriction. Ive come to just eat and feel the food go to the band through and sometimes pain...I truly believe band size has a lot to with each person now that i've experienced both sizes. But the bigger size was harder to loose with. I really hurt for you, I know you will be stong and you won't let the demon come back. Best blessing to you Kelly

I just love that kiss They love each other so much like my kids..

Leatha,This is me!! I was reading this tread yesterday thinking how Paxil has helped me sleep. I was told to take it just before bed. So back in January I started taking Paxil (only 6mg) then 3 weeks later I thought I'm fine I didn't need it. Then just last weekend I started getting depressed and have anxioty so I decided to start taking it again and I noticed I sleeped all night even when I woke up to go pee, I fel asleep within minutes. That didn't happen last week...I was taking benatril... It all makes sense! I'm not crazy

This sucks! I read the title and my heart sunk So what your saying is a total unfill has not helped? Is it too early to tell...
