1 hour and 4 minutes to go.. book is finished.. heating up my chicken & dumplings even though I know I'm too tight to eat.. Ho hum, should at least pass the time when I start PBing!

I'm bored, so bored so bored. Excruciatingly bored. All of our customers are closed today, so nothing's going on. I'm getting off at 3pm.. people that went to lunch said traffic is backed up for miles (we're .5 miles from the mall). Blah. I wanna be home.

We only had x-mas day off, but since 99% of our customers are closed on Monday, they decided we're closed Monday & Tuesday. But in reality all our customers are closed today too. So I decided we're leaving here at 3, 2 hours early.. but IT IS SO SLOW!!! I've had 2 phone calls, from an employee that was lost on a backroad, and a customer wanting a turn time. That's it. I'm so bored I can't take it. Normally I am swamped with work and the days go by, so on top of anticipating a 4-day weekend, I just can't make this day go by. 2 more hours.. of.. nothing. I brought a book I'm reading to work, but only have 15 pages left... Anyone else bored as hell at work?! :faint:

Yesterday, I had 1/2 cup of chili from Chili's for lunch. Had the other 1/2 for dinner. 1/2 IDS Protein test tube for snack (hah). Then I had 2 chocolates from a gift basket.. and 1 tsp of stoneground mustard--not sure why, it was a novelty to me I guess..and smelled delicious.

Glad you guys brought this up! I've had the Lloyds brand from Krogers pre-band, and it's yummy. I never thought to get it now, figured the bbq is high in calories.. I'm going to have to buy some now! What an easy way to make dinner without the fuss.

Congratulations!! Make sure you take your pain meds & take it easy. Every day you'll feel a little bit better, and you'll be on your way before you know it!

I don't know how most people are, but I have been overweight my whole life, so I had all these tests prior to even considering surgery. I think a lot of docs if you're overweight and trying diets, etc.. they test those things routinely. My thryroid has been checked every few years since I was a kid.

Judy, I told you if you just gotta get rid of it, I'll take it off yer hands

Darn typos.. Congrats!!!!

Haydee- Your cousin sounds like my DH. Get her one of those super soft throws from Wal-Mart. Everytime I go by there, I rub my face on them hah hah. They're like microsuede? And maybe a gift certificate to Barnes & Nobles if she reads, or Best Buy if she likes music/video games.

LOL.. glad it worked out, and I like the joke.

Thanks Alex or whoever did it. And I've gotten PM's from people interested in doing it now.. hope it's not too big of a trouble!

Hm, let me think about it

Same here.. my parents lived in a bubble that me and DH, the years we lived together unmarried, they decided we lived in seperate rooms (mmhm).. so when we came home for Christmas, they would make us sleep in seperate rooms. I did it out of respect, but.. it's just the different times. Maybe the kid is bothered by it, but then someone should sit down with her and explain that daddy and this lady like each other, and.... whatever else you explain to a kid.

Oh woops.. and 259lbs!! I DID IT!! WOOT!!!! I've gone where I've never gone before.

Morning V's! I got my username changed, woot. This is what I normally use for forums, but when I joined LBT I didn't plan to stick around, I just made up a name so I could post questions (while researching). Course, I stuck around and have been wanting to change it for a while, good times! I've had several PM's of people asking me if I am laura lol. I have to go to the MALL tomorrow with my dad to help him finish his shopping. They need to get on board with me, I did 90% of my shopping in November just so I didn't have to go to the mall the weekend before Xmas! TGIF everyone, be good!!

My staples.. Grits with cheese.. Grits with butter.. Mashed potatos & gravy. Mashed potatos with broth from campbell's chicken noodle on top.

Congrats at bein near goal!! I look frumpy for as long as I can handle it in my too-big clothes. It's a lot easier with shirts, as long as they're not the 'cut to look sexy' shirts.. which then look just weird. But for pants, I found a pair I love, and I buy 2 pair at a time of whatever size I'm in from the store. I bought 21's and they didn't even last a month.. just bought 19's and they're gettin baggy now too. Anyone want some sexy 21 size jeans? 35" inseam.

Oh and we had a big problem with people's trash getting in our yards somehow in NM.. when we moved here it was fine, till about 2 weeks ago, we're getting a bunch of random trash in our yard. It really fumes me, it's from people putting boxes of trash out, they won't pick up boxes, so the box rots away and trash flies into MY yard.. I don't know why it's MY yard. So.. I've been getting the trash and evenly distributing it among neighbors lawns. Hopefully, everyone will get pissed off enough to do something about it.

Since this thread has been resolved, I had to comment on the political correct santa. The world is coming to an end with all the political correctness, and I refuse to conform. I had a new customer call this morning and actually said "Merry Christmas!... well, or hannukah or.. or..whatever.." before he could finish I said "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" and then we laughed and I said "I don't care who you are, it's a Merry Christmas and that's that".

Hahaha!! I actually had my trash can stolen when I lived in NM. Wasn't a small one, but it was the city issued ones.. so while we had none, we were hosed. I droved around the neighborhood checking the serial numbers on everyone's can, and never found mine.. But I thought WTF too. had to pay the city 10 bucks to bring us a new one. Glad they brought it back, cookies were very funny. Now I'd go ask them WTF they were thinking stealing a big ass trash can?? You handled it better than me, if I saw the house with my trashcan, I would have emptied the trash can on their lawn (I pre-meditated this for my situation) and taken it back.

Oh, and I had champagne at my wedding. But though I've heard it hurts some people, even with tight restriction the carbonation doesn't bother me. I had my diet sierra mist blue moon last night and took a sip to take some meds.. and I felt it fizzling and gurgling for 10 minutes.

I was addicted to Mt. Dew.. 1 month pre-op I gave it up cold turkey. I figured if I could give up my beloved Mt. Dew, I was committed to doing this. And I've been Mt. Dew free ever since! I do still have a Shirley Temple (grenadine & 7-up) when I go to the casinos (once every 2 months-ish). And I have a diet sierra mist once in a blue moon.. the good thing about diet sodas, is I think they taste like crap.. so a sip or two and I go back to my water.

17 when I considered bypass, 22 when I heard about lap-band and decided to get it.. 23 when I got it. But I know for a fact, if we knew about the band and/or it was around when I was 10 (or any teen age), my mom would have signed for me to get it then.

Hm mine was 6 months.. most I could do the diet hell was 6 months. Worked super, then I gained 60lbs back and 30lb more for good measure
