WELCOME WILLPOWER!!!!!!!!!!!

AFter starting the exercises I noticed a definition in my arms within a month. I have lost 3 inches on my arms since being banded. WHOO HOO!! The last INCH since doing the exercises.

And another one. WHOO HOO!! Come and report in when you feel up to it.

I knew there was someone else getting banded today as well as Jamie. WHOO HOO!! Come and tell us how you are doing.

Hey Roxanna: HAVE the surgery. Use all the tools in your arsenal to rid yourself of that fat. Synthroid is one tool. Lap band is another one. HOORAY!! 5 more days till bandlandia for you. HOORAY!!!

That certainly would put a twist on things wouldn't it. Yes I remember the English teacher, Wanda, who had a survivor song. YIKES!! They gotta do something cause Ulong is only 4 people now and Koror is 8. I expected them to merge. Will be interesting for sure.

Jamie, come and report in sister. Hope all is well.

Norma: That sounds like a plan. I will be recuperating from eye surgery next week so someone else will have to plan it. I nominate you Norma. LOL!!!

Will anyone other than Norma and myself be in attendance?

Surgery is scheduled for 8am on Tuesday the 22nd.

Sounds like a GREAT idea.

CHristina: I am laughing at your comment about "horrible patient" hysterically. I too am a nurse and an awful patient. Too much knowledge and want things done my way. LOL!! I was in some pain the night of surgery as well. I took pain med every 4 hours and when I got home I slept on the huge recliner in the living room area for about a night or two. I am a side sleeper and I was miserable those two nights. After about the third day it got better for me. Passed the aforementioned gas and felt MUCH better. LOL!!

Lots of you fabulous people getting banded in April. WHOO HOO!!! Keep us updated. I am so thrilled for you guys.

Good luck Corgi: We will leave the light on for you and fluff up the pillows upon your return. I can feel you excitement. Come back and give us an update when you feel up to it. Take it from this kitty as a way to waste the day. LOL!!

Welcome aboard Brissiebabe, glad this site has helped you so much. It is a great site and loaded with lots of info. And we aren't too shy to answer questions either.

Can you believe that Angie was booted last night? I thought or hoped it would have been James instead. OH WELL!! Koror tribe finally got rid of Willard but did they have to gloat so much in from of Ulong when they were eating the stew. How rude was that? And can I just saw how sexy Bobby Jon is!!!!!!!!!!! WOOF!!!

This just sucks. Mikaela should have gone last night. THat was just wrong now. WRONG. I wish we could vote for who we want to leave. LOL!!

Just added your pics to the thread.

OK I watched it last night. I think Nikko needs to go and so does Mikaela. I can't stand that girl. The only ones I loved were Nadia, Bo, and Constantine. Vonzell was good too but not as good as Nadia.

Shannon: WHOO HOO!! 9 lbs is awesome. WHOO HOO!!! :banana

Here is a suggestion for the first chat room topic, time, date, etc. Date: Tomorrow night Thursday the 17th Time: 9pm EST, 8pm CST, 7pm MST, 6pm PST Topic: My Journey: Goals, what I have learned along the way. Everyone come prepared to discuss your goal. Have you reached it and would you be willing to share your experiences with us still on the journey? Are you close to your goal? Is the goal realistic? What obstacles are in your way? How can we break them down? Any other thoughts? Ideas? etc are welcomed.

I love that banana. Where did you find it?

I don't wear cologne too much. But when I do here are my favorites Exclamation (you know the white bottle with the ! mark on it) -- nice and clean crisp smell. Mystique (from Nicole Miller collection) -- sexy smell Celine -- also clean smelling but with a hint of sex appeal to it.

Megan: I had a port revision surgery. IT was a breeze compared to the first surgery. THey use the same incision for the port placement. If he is thinking about moving it to the other side then you might have a second incision on that side. NOt sure how he is going to do it. I had mine cause the port was tilted on it's side and the tubing was almost protruding through the skin. It lies nice and flat now. PM me and I will give you my home number if you want.

Don't forget the carbon filters too. Oh wait that is for the other wls people. WOW!! Someone hand me the Gingko.
