  1. Sometimes I can - sometimes I cant... Depends on lots of things! For the most part, I can. If you ve had a fill recently, just give it some time to "loosen up" and then you should be able to chug that water down pretty quickly.
  2. OMG, that is unbelievable! Thank you so much for sharing those pics. Im still in shock.... What awesome before and afters! After viewing these pics, were all going to be ready for one!
  3. Hey Crystal - just thinking about you! Tonight's prayer's will have you on top. ((hugs))
  4. and regardless.... youve lost 8 pounds!
  5. You must be super swollen. 2 weeks ago you were at 1.4 cc's and were loosygoosy! Now, 1.4cc's is nearly closed tight... go figure! Glad everything looked good. Boy, you must have some pull around there - to get a barium sallow done so fast!
  6. girl, I was just wondering about you! Thank you for the update. I bet you had NO idea how interested us in LBT land would be in your love story! ok, we need pics...
  7. Wow.... sounds like youve discovered a great alternative - one that LBT isnt real familear with - alot cheaper too! Glad you are doing well... how much weight have you lost so far?
  8. At least something is going good... Have you tried anything by mouth yet?
  9. Hi Eliza... welcome to bandland! WOOOHOO!!!

    Pat, you are right. I heard on CNN that some of the performances are going to be repeated tonight b/c someone at the Fox office messed up the phone numbers for the public to vote. Jonathan, I agree, Carrie has it together. She has the whole picture... looks, sound - everything. Penni, Mike pointed it out that Bo's song was a hard song to sing, lots of vocal restraining. I like Bo, so whatever he sings is good with me. You are right about Mikayla, tonight will probably be her last performance (I think she gets to do it again since she is one that Fox messed up the phone numbers with) she needs a little maturing. I thought Vonsel did great too... very impressed with her. I dont know whats going on with Anwar - he's one of my fav's, but last couple of weeks he seems to be picking poor choice songs. And Jessica is OK... she's not one of my top favorites, but she did do well lastnight.
  11. Hey Lauren... WTG! You are right -31 pounds DOES show. Keep up the good work... (you are so pretty).
  12. Hey Penni... just thinking about you. Glad you are doing well!
  13. any idea how many "Ms September's" there are around here???
  14. 12 pounds... thats what I lost in my first month.
  15. paula replied to Zoe's topic in The Lounge
    excuse me Zoe, but... Nana, where is your pic??? Youve been replaced!
  16. About the medical expenses... Seems like there is something that INAMED can do to help you?!?!
  17. Ever thought youd be excited to eat beans??? lol!
  18. When I pb alot - that area gets sore through the day and onto the next. Since Ive had this 2nd fill, I have to drink my Water at room temp, if I dont, I get a big discomfort in my chest - and sometimes have to pb that drink of cold water. Are you still able to keep down warm broth (or anything warm)?

  20. Congratulations.... hope you are doing well!

  22. Thanks for that great article Nicole... Now excuse me while I eat my hershey kisses!!!
  23. I dont mind going out in public now... especially to a restaurant. And I actually enjoy shopping for clothes.
  24. Hi Tammy, Welcome to LBT! I agree with Lisa, gather tons of information for your journey. Ive lost around 45 pounds since July, I guess you can say Im a slow loser! Regardless, Im still 45 pounds lighter. Good luck and God bless you. If you need anything, just ask!
