Sound of Music Star is Born (Barbara Streisand) Count of Monte Cristo Santa Claus (w/ Tim Allen) and I LOVE Ben Stiller movies. His movies make my eyes cry from laughing so hard!!!

So.... your reflux symptoms would happen ALL night long???

hey Tinkerbell.... me too! Where ya from?

yeaaahhhh Theresa..... its your day!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Thanks for the invite Lisa! Hope to make it!

Well... how was the night? (I thought about you when I went to sleep last night)

Hi Tinkerbell! I love spicy foods too. Right after I was banded, I was able to tolerate them better, now I try to not have things so spicy hot... funny - really spicy hot things make me nauseated. ??? no idea why. Lettuce (salad) is no problem for me. Just chew it well. The skin on tomato's may gt a little sticky going through the stoma, but again - chew well! Who is your surgeon? And when were you banded?

Hi Mr Tink! I am also from Louisiana. Where exactly is Bush? Hope you visit us often... we enjoy the males visit's! BigT... Everyone is right about the F/F's, they are a waste! I eat alot of chili from Wendy's (very nutritious). Also the salads from McD's and Burger King are good too (the ones that have grilled chicken). And yes, Taco Bell has several things to chose from. Just try to chose the fast foods that are better in calories/carb content! Good luck!

Green Tea~ it helps 'move' things along... anyone else have this occur?

Hey Alex... just wondering how the unfill went???

Mary, yes! he has already been evaluated. (sigh)

mine would be coffee flavored! (that sounds yucky though)

Trish, I dont have a tattoo - but just wanted to say that this is NOT a dumb question... my sister has 3 tattoo's and is also a very large gal. She asked me the same thing. Frankly, I dont know, so Ill wait for others to answer 'us'! thanks for asking!

Mary, he doesnt have the "hyperactivity" part, does he? So what are the good and bad things that you are seeing from Straterra? *Im bringing my 9yr old next week to the doc for ADD*

Hi Copper. I too, was a beer drinker (pre-banding). Just like Greg said, too much discomfort. Every now and then I will take a sip of hubby's... unfortunately I could never handle the carbonation.

Welcome to the 'other' side! Glad everything went well for the two of you!

Penni's reply gets a thumbs up! The Water trick is something I have to do often. Michelle (La Madam) has suggested many times for us to wait until our tummy starts growling before we eat again. I use her idea to share with you because Ive actually had to do this, MANY times... basically because "my belly is full, but my brain is still hungry". Doing this allows you to KNOW you are really hungry... that its not just head hunger. Another thing - is when you rid your body of those bad carbs, Jack's dragon isnt as strong!

Thanks Marie! ...are you sure this moderator position is worth all of this crapola???

Oh gosh, I remember that feeling! Yes, I certainly will say one for you... let us know ASAP!

Great BIG (((((hugs))))) and Kisses to everyone!

VERY well said Zoe!!! She's right... anyone and everyone is welcome to join! Jonathan, you are doing awesome!!! Thank you so very much for all of this - and if it does become a headache... well, Ill just mail you some tylenoyl ....LOL! So Jack, Taylor, Crystal (vinsqueen), Nana and Bobby... Welcome to the game! -12lbs in 12 weeks!!!!! Thats all you have to do. If you want to set your own goal for June 1, thats fine too!

*In my small world, Ive never heard of this word til this past weekend - fellatio. I think Ive just figured out what it is. * Nicole, the only restriction my surgeon gives that pertains to sex is 'no rough sex for 3 weeks after surgery'. Good luck!

I vote for Bo - I even like Anwar, but he wasnt that good tonight. Didnt think anyone else watched it...

Vera, sooo glad you are all fixed. But I MUST say that every time I see the title of your thread, I giggle!
