That sucks! Because we've had such a disgusting winter, I haven't seen most of my friends since losing a considerable amount of weight. After reading your story (and other's) I'm kinda prepared mentally for some friends to act up... Or at least that's what I tell myself.

Wayans Bros. intro- one of my favorite shows of all times!! I'm hoping, for their own sake, that the people who are so offended never watched the show... That would just make them hypocrites. To the original poster. Thanks for the post. I'm sorry it was turned into something other than what you intended- by a white person, nonetheless. I hate to use the term AFRICAN AMERICAN (unless its a second generation AFRICAN, or a naturalized AFRICAN) the term "African American" when used to describe a black person just sounds to ME like someone is trying really hard NOT to "sound" racist. It's like a black poster above said: "She's not from Africa" All black ppl I know are ok with being called black, so that's the term I choose to use. GastricBypassNY, it's clear by reading your "controversial" use of the word *colored* that you didn't mean any harm. Stop&Frisk needs to STOP NOW!! *fist pump* LoL Miss ny2fly, who do YOU think you are coming here, with your "educated self", give your opinion using the term "redneck hillbillies" and say: "If there's any negative replies don't waste your time." hahahaha!! That's just an invitation to continue to "stir the pot" (PUN INTENDED) zoeonelove, congrats on such great weighloss!! B52, the link you posted didn't work. Can you post it again, please? ....and "sweet cheeks'" questions allot about FIVE pages of the seven on this thread. Shhhhesh!! Stop asking the same question over and over again. Gather your thoughts and post them ALL in question form in ONE POST. Thanks, it just keeps the thread cleaner, and your questions can be better answered. In December hubby and I invested in the PAX vaporizer. He has chronic back pain, and I just like to mellow out from time to time. We never smoke to a point where we are too high to function- about two puffs and we are DONE- then it's off to watch TV and laugh our asses off. I always make sure I've had a nice, fatty (Atkins) meal a few hours before partaking, and I make sure I have high Protein Snacks (like pepperoni slices) nearby in case I get the "munchies". I have great self-control when it comes to smoking post-op thank God!! I do, however, allow myself ONE fun-sized chocolate when I'm high because the taste of chocolate is euphoric to me when I'm high. (Atkins be damned) LoL

Good luck to you both. Maybe I'm bigger than I think I am. Anywhoo, I'll let my clavicles dictate when enough is enough. (I don't have them yet, but they are the one body part I'm looking forward to the most!)

That co-worker who didn't notice your ONE HUNDRED THIRTY lbs loss until someone "mentioned" it is full of CRAP. You look wonderful!!

I'm barely out of the 200s mark, and at 4'11 my "ideal" weight is near 120 lbs. I never intended on getting that small in the first place. I looooove a curvy body. I was thinking more around 140, but I'm starting to think that with 30 more lbs lost I'll be ok. That will put me around the 170s... I don't know, maybe my self-image is distorted. I look in the mirror and its almost like another face is looking back at me...

For WEEKS? I could never live like that. Call your surgeon, PLEEEEASE!!

What a wonderful soul that left this world too soon. If she only knew how much this world needs her... I feel like I know & love her.

You're welcome

You may eat.

Now I need some sushi! Ggggrrrr My last meal was a messy Five Guys burger (with eeeerthang!)

That's ^^^^ beautiful. Read it more than once

Thank you so much, guys. I feel oh, so good today, except for my back from sleeping on the couch and the extra bed. Flu symptoms are at bay, but I'm not sure if I'm still contagious, as this is my first time dealing with his.

We understand, lady7000, your life and child are so perfect you need to come here and create discourse and spew the same things OVERRRRRRRRR and OVERRRRRRRR and OVERRRRRRR again. You're on the wrong forum. We are all "beneath" you with all you knowledge and your 13 years working as a doctor so just go <~~~~~~ thata way and maybe we can get back to what's important.

Madam, EXCELLENT comment. I love the way you nuked little-miss-inappropriate ;) but of course it went wayyyy over her MD head (she did said she's a doctor, didn't she?) CLEARLY, BANDits get a lapband around their stomach, not their BRAIN.... Much less their hearts. It's obvious someone SELF MEDICATES.

Meds? REALLY??!! You're way outta line for that one, lady!

I don't even know where I am NOW

I've been taking them since Friday with no problems. I'm thinking maybe I didn't drink enough water because it kinda upsets my stomach, unless I have a snack or a meal with it. So my plan was to drink it with as little water as possible so that the snack wouldn't be a problem.

That would make me feel awkward. Thank God I can manage eating/talking/interacting all at the same time while still being mindful of what my jaw, hands, and mouth are doing.

Awesome

If I remember correctly, capsules are a NO NO, right?? I just threw up my tamiflu capsule. I caught it in a tissue paper but it kinda popped on one side. I don't know if I should still take it.

Pepperoni slices. They are good cold.

I'm sorry about your dad and your separation, however, I'm amazed by what you've accomplished. Hugz!

Oh, WoW! That's awesome! Alex is def on my COOL list!

Hahaha!! Thank you, all!! I didn't respond... However, I'm battling influenza (2nd day) I regret not being able to make it. Be sure to take lots of pics!!

Finally....199 (on sale) Get it?? LoL Wonderland, baby!!!!!
