Seriously - this is out of control bull shit, I thought at this point in the game we were also all good friends and what I was saying was let Tracy have a bad f'n day if she wants to. So I guess that is all this is is an encouragement place so friendship is out - So on that.... I was just trying to end a debate that was getting everyone no where Hope to stay in touch - I don't need encouragement like this... I was here for friendship

wellbutrin (sp) it is the greatest thing since sliced bread...

Hi Ok so here is my thought... right ... wrong... indifferent.... doesn't matter, its done and over... but I do understand having a bad day and sometimes when I have a bad day just simply want to have a bad day and maybe a hug, not a challange or whatever it is taken as... so Tracy - (((((((((Hugs and Kisses)))))))))) I hope you have a better afternoon The End did I mention I love my drugs?????

Oh Tracy - I'm going through text messages, but they have been removed so I can't get them

Hola what a busy day...... Laura - voted again Good for you Jane - I have been mental for a long time but one thing I have always revolved around is learning to love myself, and it has been a long road... but i'm getting there and it has made a huge difference in my attitude. any way ttfn

it was TracyKS - OMG I did send a text back when i realized it was not my guy Tracy -but that was just so funny... he sends me stuff like a snowman doing things that I can't even speak of here... but never laughed so hard in my entire life...we have a sick friendship

Morning Judy - I would be happy to pick you up a pr and send them, they are all over here.. Haydee. I am the same way, I had a bad couple days because I can't get past 191 and I think the same thing... I give up But instead, I've been up for hours, had coffee, Had a nice chat with a friend on the phone, my freind just popped in to visit, having an egg and going for a walk, then taking my mom to the airport. Cheer and then home. I am 2 months on my wellbutrin and I have tons of energy and feel good, but the best part to me is that I feel like I can have emotions and that is important, sometimes you just need to have a good pitty party.. ya know. Anyway, off to get dressed so I can be back for the airport catch ya'll later

i only have to say.....:blushing:

Tracy -good luck - I was at 1 and in the same place, head not in the game and ate tons of fried food because it was the only thing that would work. my fill to 1.5 was perfect, I'm still on semi mushie's a month later and very soft solids. I'm back on track with 700-cals a day and 70g protein and I feel like this is working. i saw something on the news this morning about how the RNY is being recommended more than lapband because people don't lose as much weight as they thought or they lose it and gain a bunch back. They do suggest everyone who has weight loss surgery go to therapy to figure out the underlying reason for weight gain and to resolve the issues for either to work. MY thougt is, my dr told me that typical weight loss with the band is 40-50% of your excess weight, and he told me I would be about 205, so I've been there for 8 months or so (i usually work really hard the 2 weeks before an appt to get back to that point - I was 215 last time, but he was still happy,I've pretty much got there and for the most part maintained. Well when I got back in November I hope they are super impressed, not just for him but for me. I'm now 191 and holding and want to be in the 80's by November. Anyway, I guess I know because my dr was very upfront with me about the band and how it works and that he doesn't recommend it for everyone but knew I could do it, but I've talked to a lot of people who thought they could lose so much more - So maybe more dr's need to do it for the right reason other than to just make money and perform the surgery... ya know. Remember my cousin who got MRSA from dirty port...

Tracy - glad you are doing so well, check in when you can. (((hugs))) you actually sound more like the Tracy who started this over 2 years ago! Judy - my daughter saw that movie and loved it. I'm going to be out and about this week, want me to try a pr on the sketchers on to see if they size the same as the regular ones? I would be happy to do that for you. I am so bloated for some reason today and feel like crap. I hope it wasn't the sauce that didn't agree with me, cause it definately was something I ate for dinner.

Pamela we posted at the same time, I had one 4 years ago for something to do, we had such a great time I now have one every year in the fall, but this one is going to be great with my mom, they are nuts to begin with!

Tracy - I went on Thurs and proud to say at 38 I don't have a single cavity! anyway, I took Dylan with me and then made him and Alex appts for yesterday, it was his 2nd trip, and watched me the day before. He was excited Thursday but when it came time to go he got nervous but did fine, then the dentist told him what nice teeth he has so of course now he is into it! Poor Alex has a tooth that was not growing in and they did xrays, it is growing in over her front teeth and they have to cut her gums and pull the tooth down into place. She is so upset and wants to leave it, but if she does it could screw up her front teeth.

Judy - I saw those before I saw the commercial, I'd like to know your feelings on them. I love my d'lites! Have a good weekend, and thanks for the rain, it is here too. lol Jane, I'm always tapped at the end of the month and that just reminded me I can't get mine done Monday, I don't get paid until Wed this week.

I just got confirmation I am having a toy party on October 16th. I'm so excited because they are sooooooo much fun. If anyone would like to order anything let me know... Goddess Homepage Anyway, my mom and her friends have never been to one and they wanted me to do it, so this should be good!

Morning gals I'm here too... Kat, what are they 12 long? I have a couple pr of levi's 14 long, and with work boots on they are perfect, so when you are really out of 12's send them my way. I am going to get my new workboots this week. I'm trying not to get frustated and give up, but I only have 1 stupid lb to go by Monday to hit the goal I set myself for August, and I can't get below 191. I'm getting angry, I was 191 at 4 yesterday so I thought for sure this morning I would be ok...WTH? i did eat my dinner at 7:30 last night, my entire day was off, maybe that is it? I have to go back to my dr and nutrition in November, I'm going to start bugging about my sagging stomach, rashes, and everything I can think of under the sun, I want to have my tummy tuck at 150 but it needs to be paid for by insurance. I don't have $5k to have my smart lipo. Busy day today, have to go to cheerleading at 9, some running, paying bills, make a fruit salad for a party tomorrow... blah blah blah. Have a great day

Hello everyone hope ya'll had a great day. I was busy again... dentist, mowed the lawn, went for a walk, went to get kids dinner, picked my friend up from a party, cleaned my downstairs.... I'm exhausted. So I took my measurements....... In 2 weeks I have lost 7lbs and 5" for 2 weeks I'm pretty happy with that. My size 14 levis are going to have to be retired real soon, I had a new pr on tonight and they were falling down. Not quite ready to get in a size 12... the thing that just sucks so bad are all the jeans I have are short and tey won't work for me, so I'll have to get more. Tracy 10:17 here and I don't know how I am still awake

Morning all Haydee, I went out last night, ended up drinking vodka on the rocks, I has 2 with cran juice and it was so sweet it was making me sick! I couldn't drink my iced carmed coffee the other day either. HI! My name is Jenn, and I have not had a drop of suger since July 30th... LOL I'm going to get the stuff together to send out his weekend, I've been kind of distracted sorry. I'm also going to stick 2 pr of new shorts in there that I hope will work for you, wore then 2 times and they are too big. and if they don't quite fit...hold on to them they will! I took measurements on 8/12 and going to take a 2 week progress today to see if all my work is paying off. Hope you all have a good day

:thumbup: good for you, that is the first step. I think the only reason I am back on track is because I've been admitting lots of things to myself lately and now it is time to move forward and to the next phase. YOU CAN DO IT!

Judy - I wish I had a heater, I'd keep the pool open so much later, I'm going to figure something out next year! Dylan just decided in June he was not afraid of the pool and is now swimming with swimmies (they are too small for his weight so they just give him a little extra help) and without swimmies and going under water! OMG, just started that, and now time to close the pool. Anyway, everyone have a great day!

Haydee, I'm sorry you are feeling that way, that was what happened to me for the first 8 months of surgery so I know what you are saying. For me I took the need to eat and went to the gym, so Terry is probably right - it will start to release chemicals and you will feel better... Kat was right too, try on a wedding dress now - and watch it shrink, You will be amazed. Hugs everyone

Thanks - (((TracyKS)) I'm sorry, i'm right there with you...unemployment line

HI everyone going to be nice today and then I think Fall is going to be here. I'm going to close the pool by LABOR Day, which is sad, but I'm not going to pay to keep it running, only going to be 73 by next week. so sad, I'm just getting into the water aerobics thing. nm going on here today, think I'm just going to enjoy my last couple days of pool. Have a great day

Night all just getting in from the movies. Terry - The daytime is not the hard time, it is the nights that when I start thinking. I got in late so I didn't finish family court stuff, I'll do it in the morning. I just can't do it at night when I'm already sad. I am sad now but exhausted so I hope I sleep thanks all xoxoxo

Hi gals I am strong this time. this is different... very different. I'm sad but happy because even if he thinks he is coming back, He has just given me the permission to move on Like I've been begging him to do for months now. I told him I would never leave but if he didn't want to be with me to let me go. Enough of that, today is a good day. Going to the drive ins with the older kids to see Ugly Truth and Perfect Getaway and ds is staying with grammy. Ok about the liquids.... well I have such great restriction that it put me post op, except once surgery swelling went down I got hungry. I did 1/2 cup servings of the chicken and cheese soup 3x a day no more for another 10 days and now I'm on 1/4 cup shredded lettuce and 1.5oz tuna/chicken salad made with homemade ranch (low fat sour cream and ranch mix) No more high cal ranch and junk and 1/4 cup shredded cheese, it fills 1/2 of one of my tea cups and I have 1 egg for breakfast and the tuna stuff for lunch and dinner. that has been about 10 days and I'm full... very full, no snacks, no bad stuff and 8-10 glasses of water a day. I have never had restriction like this.. Plus the mental part that I need to get to my happy spot so I can move on is a bonus too. Something to work for, and gets me out of bed. Well, going to get ready to head out, love ya'll and thanks for the encouragement! Kat - you might be right, but he may be in a rehab, he has been talking for a while about it, but either way... he could have let me know... I'm done

10 days of low sodium chicken broth and s/f pops... How is that for clear liquids???
