Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
I don't have a clue... I just for once would like to find someone normal. DBF has been super and now all of the sudden is strange again, after lunch. I'll never figure it out On a happy note. I was just cleaning out my closet. OMG I'm in all my 16's. I have a skirt that looks yucky because of my tummy but fits. it still has the tags on it! Another one, I bought in hopes that I could lose after ds, needless to say gained 60lbs... well it fits. I am keeping 3 skirts and that is it the rest is gone! I am wearing a pr of capri's that a friend gave me that were way tight in Sept when she gave them to me. They are borderline big at this point. I think cleaning my closet was a good thing, and going back to work wearing nice clothes is going to be a great thing for me, although, I've never ever loved wearing jeans like i do now. I LOVE MY BAND

Funny, now that you all mention it, My dishwasher use to be full of dinner plates, now we only use them when we are out of smaller ones. I have a salad bowl, but is not deep that we use for everything, or the salad plates that go under them, i used to use them for ds becaue it was enough to keep him from making a huge mess when eating but perfect size. That is what I use. LOL Kat, My cousin who was banded, I just heard from her the other day. Remember she had her port moved, well after that I guess it didn't work and she had to have it removed, I don't have exact details, but then she ended up with MRSA and has been very sick. She was just banded in October and has had nothing but problems. I feel so horrible for her. I know some dr's are good, but she was approved and done in a month. No major prep work, nothing, standard pre op testing and done. I did so much research with my Dr and was annoyed at times at what I had to do but think it helped me loose the weight and prepared to change my life. She is just so very sick with MRSA, she now has a cath for her meds and her band, no port nothing. I am so sad for her and that it has been so bad. So ladies, I guess when we get hard on ourselves, shoot, I started loosing pre surgery in Mid Jan, I have lost almost 80lbs in a year. I could not have done that without my band and I am thankful that my dr. is a hard ass but is concerned about safety and me. I'm not just a number (which is why i was so upset at my PA visit last month, i felt like a number for the first time). I guess that goes along with the tip of the day! plus, I would not have met all you without my band

Tracy - For me, it will be so much easier when spring is here, I can go for a walk at night, but way too cold now. So last night after I survived the movies with a couple pcs of s/f hard candy, I get home and mom is tearing the cabinets apart looking for something to snack on... I won't even let her make popcorn! Are you kidding me? I've had nothing but pudding and chili for a week now and you want to make popcorn at 10pm? And nothing I could do to get out. I'm going to torture them all LOL DD is having a superbowl party - got her 2 bags of chips, mini hotdogs, and making garbage bread. I told her everything had to be cleaned up and in the trash by time I got home, which shouldn't be a problem since the game will be over by then. I feel like the first month of banding when we couldnt eat but wanted to, except it is much easier now - I do tend to throw more away If I make something that is not really part of the lifestyle, if i have it, have it once and get rid of it so not to get on a downward sprial! anyway. blah blah bah off to shower and do some running, now that I just had the strongest coffee in the world... should look for chest hair after that pot! LOL only kidding

I had the guys at the bar hit on me when I went out with my friends in November, and it felt GREAT! and I got a little cocky and then didn't loose an ounce. LOL but I'm back on track now. I wouldn't know what I would do if I am actually asked out... nervous breakdown time, but it is coming, i can feel it

You need to send us all an email with your new address. I was sending Michelle and Laura a package and realized that you moved... and the address I have for you is from October. I took dd to the movies to see Untraceable.... good movie I didn't really know what to expect but it was good. I feel so bloated tonight, don't know why - i'm going to drink some special tea. Tomorrow i'm going to start drinking a glass of lemon water tomorrow and see if that helps

It did nothing for her and she had a horrible headach and doesn't want another.... Hang in there... the fun is just beginning but you will be so much healthier. Yes, I'm reformed too!!! 14 years

Tracy - nice I would get the consult. I talked to one the other day and going to schedule an appt to get an idea of price, time off, so on. I am not going to do me all, I want my boobs done, just because I always did and a TT. I could live with me if I didn't have this stupid stomach. I know I can't do it until next year when I get vacation time, but I am going to put away all my extra money to pay. You schedule a consult and I'll do mine??? I say do what ever bothers you most first, for me it would be tummy
