If you post more than one pic then they come up as links. If you post just one pic then it will show up. I don't mind fixing them for you guys. IT takes me all of about 5 min to do.

I am laughing so hard here. Too funny. "goddess of the computer pictures" Too funny

What a beautiful pic of the both of you. I shrunk the pic for you. WOW!! love the hair.

There ya go! I love it when they beg. LOL!!!

Here is the second one.

Here are two different avatars you pick which one you like best.

As I said on another post, I must have missed this post. I will pray for a speedy recovery and pain will be minimal. Please come and post as soon as you can. Do please take before and after pics.

Where have I been lately. I am just now seeing you are getting plastic surgery Estela. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy and mostly pain free recovery. Keep us posted. TAKE before and after pics OK. I wanna see the results.

Those threads were locked.

I too was told by my original surgeon this was normal and it would resolve itself when I lost more weight. I did not believe this (due to my nursing background) and sought a second opinion. I am thankful that I did. Please talk to another doctor. You might have slipped the band, there could be other reasons you are having all these GERD issues that are unrelated to the band. I am very very concerned about your health at this point. What you are experiencing is NOT healthy and needs immediate attention.

I would have eaten them myself. LOL!!

I drink Green Tea alot but haven't experienced any of it's weight loss qualities cause I still eat bad things. LOL!! I do love Green Tea though.

Christine: I am so sorry you are having all these issues. I am concerned about all the GERD you are having. If this has been going on since April then you could have major complications brewing in your stomach. I HIGHLY suggest you call your surgeons office and ask to be seen. If you are too tight then a slight unfill is warranted. If you were not banded the amount of GERD you are experiencing is not normal and needs to be treated. I respect the fact that you are still happy with your doc. I will not go into any of the negativity on him. Please do consider calling his offices again and asking to be seen or refer you to someone that will see you PRONTO.

OK here I am 238 this morning. Goal of 228 by the end of 10 weeks so that is 10 lbs. Here are my pics. I did a side shot as well. I wanna track the loss of my arms as well. I hate them. But it doesn't stop me from showing them. Oh and it was too chilly to get in bathing suit this weekend. That will come later. LOL!!

I was a cancer nurse for 8 years and dealt with several patients that had "Living Wills / Advanced Directives". Just as an FYI, the Living Wills are not legally binding to the medical profession. It is looked on as a "suggestion" of what the person wishes in the event they cannot make those decisions themselves. I have seen several patients with Living Wills in place only to have a doctor talk the family into going against the wishes of the person. So make sure you have someone over your Living Will that is very vocal and will advocate for you.

Jonathan I made this thread a Sticky. LOL!!!

There ya go Jenna I posted before and after pics of your mom for you.

What cute pics? EVERYONE's pics are so precious. I love this thread.

Thanks Jamie. I feel wonderful. By the way that is the TINK shirt Lisa (deLarla) was saying she bought me. She has one just like it.

Took this today and had to post. WIll post it tomorrow on the Labor Day challenge as well.

Paula: I must have brain farted. I will lock this thread now. HUGS!!!

Do you guys think we should delete this thread and only post to Jonathan's thread now. IT will get confusing if we have two threads going on the same subject.

OK so no bathing suits. Darn it. LOL!! I am in and will post Monday for weigh in and Pic as well.

I vote we take pics in bathing suits. LOL!!!! I am game. Who else is with me?

This might be the last one.
